I started playing it again this week. Joined a guild on a new server; some old mates, lots of new people. Observations up to now: You can really blast through the early stuff quickly these days. You can kill stuff a lot higher level than you, and quite comfortably too. Hunters are fucking ace once [...]
I hope! Just read the making of God of War in an old back issue of Edge. David Jaffe says something along the lines of “I watch Casablanca and I wonder how we’re going to makes games as affecting for so long, to give the player such long-lasting memories”. I’d quote verbatim, but I’ve left [...]
Fuck orders, I’m skipping this song thing like a motherfucker. Even though I got bored of it. Ha! Everyone is different. And yet, everyone wants to be the same. It’s a constant since caveman times, although back then it was a necessity – groups live longer than individuals. This has become communities. People want to [...]
You’d have thought I’d have learned the first time, eh? Started watching Moon again. Weird but good film, but weird. But good. Anyway, one of them things I don’t usually notice, but did tonight, is there’s a fucking lovely shot when Sam Rockwell is waking up. He’s lying down, and the camera is tight in [...]
Fuck. I hate stuff like this. You find something out, and it’s clever and funny and sweet and daft and ace. But, it’s also kind of a spoiler. As in, stumbling across it made it awesome. So for anyone who may have recently come across the game and is playing through it obsessively (just like [...]
I loved the original Left 4 Dead. Went through it a fair few times. Loved the atmosphere, loved the fact it could shit me right up, loved it. Then I put it to one side, as you do. Re-installed it the other week and fired it up again, and lo and behold! Free DLC stuff! [...]
And that’s enough of the music posts. Bored. Onwards!
I’ve kind of already done this one in day one, but I’ll do it again with a different song. Also, behind-the-scenes spoiler alert – I don’t exactly post these stories every day. Also, I’m writing most of them in advance and posting them on the day I’m meant to. Also – I had stories for [...]
Kevin Costner is underrated. IMHO etc. OK, so there was Waterworld (which wasn’t that bad, or gets points for being so bad it’s good at least), and The Postman (which was just weird). I know there’s others, but I can’t be fucked thinking of them. Anyways, the point is that he’s made some shite films. [...]
This one will be easy. I can never settle on music playing software on my PC. I keep trying Winamp, but it’s too fiddly and stuffed with a bajillion options. And I can never pick just one skin for it, I have to have forty eight on the go and choose between them every five [...]
What the fuck?! Least favourite song? Jeeeeebus. OK, so I’m back to the same problem as I had with “your bestest song ever made ever innit”. How the fuck do you choose? I hate most of music. 99.99999% of it. Does nothing for me. That’s why I cherish the music that does something for me. [...]
I don’t have one. Absolutely seriously don’t. The thing that’s been putting me off doing this 30 days of music thing the most is this question. No clue as to how to answer it. I mean, there’s infinite criteria. You could go on and on justifying one over another. I’ve been stuck picking a reason [...]
