#oneaday Renegade

A few people I know of have decided to restart Mass Effect for varying reasons, and I decided to follow suit. We’ve all seemingly taken a differing approach compared to our initial playthroughs and again, I have done the same. I’m only a few hours in (not even broken 5 hours yet and am still [...]

#oneaday “Games of 2010?”

Okay, stereotypical blog entry from a gamer I know, meh, whatever. Anyway, its crazy mad to think yet another 12 months in my lifetime have passed, and as always its gone far too quickly. I’ve barely completed any games at all, but thats nothing new, I have enjoyed a fair few though and the following [...]

Sitting on the fence?

In today’s “The Observer Magazine” (21/3/2010) author Tom Bissell writes an article detailing his addiction to videogames. Within the article are long descriptions of his experiences of playing Rockstars Grand Theft Auto series, and whilst large parts of the artile show a love of gaming and highlight the things that gaming can do that no [...]

Back to the Blogosphere

OK, so I broke the “One A Day” format, quite majorly too. I have no real excuse other than that I’ve been in a really odd place emotionally. Wanting to reach out, talk about stuff, that kind of thing, but not feeling like I had anything to write about and not having any sort of [...]

I LLLLLLIKE CHINEEEEEESE

The missus and I went for a Chinese whilst Le Sprog was at school today, it was really nice although I keep having dizzy spells so maybe the Tiger Lager wasn’t such a good idea… In other news, finally got a Mass Effect 2 review done, you can read that by hitting the bitparade button [...]

SPOILAAAARZ

As you’re obviously aware if you’ve been reading this thing since I started it, I’ve been playing Mass Effect 2. A game I’ve been really looking forward to getting my hands on based purely on its predecessor. I used to buy into hype surrounding games all the time, but despite running bitparade I started pretty [...]

On sex in games

There’s alot of furore surrounding the so-called sex scenes in Bioware’s Mass Effect 2 at the moment, possibly more so than those that were in Dragon Age: Origins. For the record I’ve not seen the scenes in either, my female Shepard (whom I’m using in Mass Effect 2) did manage to sleep with Liara in the first [...]

Another day not in paradise

Still need something to spark my imagination, still got nothing to rant about, still not really done much, not even played Mass Effect 2 properly today, and Arsenal have left me bitterly dissapointed. Champions’ chase seems to be over for us…

Wanna Waffle Waker

Ended up making a really quick post during the early hours of this morning for yesterday, purely because I got so totally wrapped up in Mass Effect 2 whilst Charly was studying that I didn’t even realise what time it was. I think it had an impact on my sleep too because despite being absolutely [...]

Unpopular quality

Before I start with anything, its been absolutely freezing today, think the Weather forecasters have said it was 1 Centigrade but it felt much colder, even taking the wind and light rain into account it felt much colder than that. Also, our new router from Sky came today, doesn’t appear to have fixed the ridiculous [...]
