Halo 2 screenshots

That piece the other day reminded me of all those screenshots we took of Halo 2 years ago. They used to be up on the gallery that was integrated into our old phpBB2 forum, but I have them saved and would like to try and reproduce them here for you now. Bear in mind, with no screenshot feature in Halo 2 these were photographs of a TV screen taken by Orca.

CAUTION! There are 37 thumbnails!

Yes, I know I'm very late on this subject, but playing with the screenshot mode on Halo 3: ODST has made me remember that I'd like to talk about this. The entire Theatre mode of Halo 3 was an absolute genius masterstroke. Given the amount of people who use the internet as well as play games on their consoles, it…

Baby’s Got A Temper

This little-known Prodigy track was released between The Fat of the Land and Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned and definitely has that unmistakable Prodigy vibe from the Firestarted/Breathe era, doesn't it? Thing is though, Liam felt it was too like the previous stuff, publicly disowned it, and went off in a totally different direction. Well, it sounds nothing like anything on…

Poopgang no more

Posted inInternetNo Comments
Sillysprout has decided to close Poopgang. The exact reasons are complex, but the basic jist is that some members weren't happy at the level of administration being done by the man in green, so Aneurin demanded that Sprout handed control of the forum over to him or he'd take half the community elsewhere. Sprouty declined, citing that they were not…

The Big House is becoming a reality

Posted inReflectionsNo Comments
Well, the lady whose house we want to buy has made an offer on a house she wants to buy and it has been accepted. Now we hope she'll accept our offer on her house, then the wheels can be set in motion for the move to "The Big House", as we call it. I'm hoping the similarities to a…

Hardware escapades

Posted inVideogamesNo Comments
For years and years, as long as I can remember, whenever I bought a console it has survived until the day I eBayed it. Then, we decided to buy some Xbox 360s for Phantasy Star Universe. After a while, my first 360 started freezing randomly whilst playing. I took it back to Game and swapped it for a new one…

Happy 1st Birthday, Waves

Wow, where does the time go? Waves went up a year ago, and I've posted something original on here at least once a week. Granted, it's markedly different to what I had been posting about in 2005 (man, I'm glad I'm not depressed anymore), but I think focusing on the positive stuff that you enjoy is better than posting trivial…

I went to a bookshop…

Posted inBooksNo Comments
...and I did not know where to start. I've only recently discovered the joy of reading. Apart from reading all seven Harry Potter books a few years ago, the last time I read a book was probably at school, a very long time ago indeed. I always preferred comics to books, as they had pretty pictures to look at. But…
