Free Cake!

Last week I decided my VPS has too many spare cycles so I installed Minecraft on it and invited a few friends on to look around. Duck was first there and created a house for himself before his laptop gave up the ghost on Friday evening. Then TyeWebb logged in and created an impressive home, [...]

Oooh, must listen to this tonight when iTunes updates. The “Don’t Revive Me Bro Podcast” #5 with StonefaceLock is now up. I’ve been so busy of late I haven’t got around to listening to the previous DRMB podcast yet. I’ve hardly looked at any Bad Company 2 gameplay videos either! *sob*

I'm an ebook convert now

Matt has made it well known that he loves his Kindle and for a while I thought about buying one too. Unfortunately I’ll have to order it from Amazon.com in the US because I live in Ireland. Attempts to buy it from Amazon.co.uk result in an error and asks me to go visit the US [...]

Apparently nobody uses the in-game team chat in Bad Company 2 on PC so lots of people use Mumble. Unfortunately that can have unforeseen consequences when both teams are on the same Mumble server… Defender: Watch out guys, we have enemies in the back of our base Attacker: …….no i’m not…… Next time I fire [...]

Breach is $11.99 on Steam. Will it be another game of the quality of Modern Combat/Blacklight Tango Down or will it be worth buying? Giantbomb have a quick look at it. Haven’t watched it yet though. Something to watch tomorrow.

Had some great games with David and Bedo Empire (Was that his username? I forget, sorry!) on Bad Company 2 last night. Like others in the Bad Company 2 community we’re playing using our “secondary accounts” so we’re starting from scratch again. Problems with match making continue and the two of us were dumped into [...]

First “proper” game of Modern Combat and it’s a game of domination. I spent a few minutes trying to get into team deathmatch games but I kept getting kicked so it was this or nothing. The game lasted quite a while but I only got 13 kills, 20 deaths. Nobody used their mic which in [...]

Duke Nukem Forever Trailer

The trailer to the new Duke Nukem game looks good! If you don’t remember the first game from when it was first released don’t play it now. The pixelated low res graphics will disappoint, and they might even make you wonder what the hell was so good about it. Trust us old guys, it was [...]
