I use nom, and nom nom nom liberally, always associated with tasty food. This week however I found out that in Thai it translates to both Milk and breasts. I’m kinda amused that I’ve been saying tits tits tits while shoving yummy food into my mouth at work 🙂 NOM’s also an acronym for no offence meant, that makes the use of the term even more novel!

So to ease the disappointment of lasts weeks games, I have chosen 2 to play that should mean I put in a few more gaming hours. Grid 2 Metacritic 82% I enjoyed the original on the xbox, remember being impressed with the rewind option. This shold make up for the Fast & the Furious’s attempt at a driving game Dead or Alive 5 Metacritic 74% As a long time fan…

Thursday morning some Muppet carried out a DoS attack on this sites server! Miles away from causing damage, I slept through it, but you really wonder what motivates these script kiddies?

or “VirtualBox + Tor + Backtrack” aka “How to become (almost?) invisible” from rootd@mmit I plan to use the tor_vm.iso method for stealth, and leave my Debian VB as another playground… tor there if I ever need it. I remember trying this a while ago, and also remember why I don’t use it… I can’t get it to work 🙂 It hangs while trying to bootstrap at 5%… although now…

If the PlayStation network is still free of charge, I think my decision is made. Update:

I’ve not been using the processing power of my 8 core PC, so decided to see what it could do this afternoon. I’ve installed VirtualBox direct from Synaptic Manager, and have created Virtual boxes for Debian and Windows 7. Both are currently installing, and I have not seen so much activity across all cores before. Having Windows as a VM will save me heaps of time and frustration, as I…

Back in the first age of xbox, long before 360, I was promised benefit from a payment subscription to an on-line service. ~10 years on, after the great introduction with Rainbow Six, Crimsen Skies, Project Gotham Racing, what have they given me for my money? Sweet fuck all! For me the early xbox days were wonderful, the community was friendly, players were stoked for the opportunity to play console games…

Could Faith and Mirror’s Edge 2 be with us in the near future? Word on the web is that details have been spotted on the German Amazon site! Will this be one of the catalysts to me picking up an Xbox One? Kotaku It is general knowledge in the Stockholm dev scene that Mirror’s Edge 2 is in production at DICE eurogamer.net/articles/2012-… — Ben Cousins (@BenjaminCousins) November 21, 2012
[Rating:0] – I can’t think of anything redeemable I wrote a post recently that I should review poor games from time to time, and this weekend is certainly it. Fast and Furious Showdown is perhaps the worst game I’ve played on a 3rd generation console. I do like driving games, and have even been known to enjoy a Fast and Furious film. I would not say that I am a…

2 new games to try this week, from 2 different genres: Fast and Furious Showdown Only one rating on Metacritic, 25 points by IGN This could be the worst game ever, looking forward to it 🙂 Resident Evil Revelations Circa 80% Metacritc score.This might be the game to get me through the wet weekend I have not played any driving games after my PS3 hard drive was corrupted and formatted, I…
– Xbox One engineer – Gameplanet New Zealand I don’t know what to think about this. The console will be on the market for 5+ years, so you would think that it would be future proofed? But then I guess it’s about an economy of scale, saving a few hundred bucks off the build cost allows MS to sell new boxes for the same price as current models, give or…

For a year or so, I’ve been using a very useful and effective GreaseMonkey script, which deletes all of my Reddit posts. Userscripts: Delete All Comments – it also deletes posts. Together with the Reddit Enhancement Suite option of auto scroll, clearing my history is achieved in a single click. All good, but I came across a post on Reddit, by one of the mods, stating that deleted posts could…

I always fancy playing a game that someone has borrowed 🙂 eh oh, back to finish Tomb raider

I’ve been looking through the games I’ve mentioned here, and there are not that many that I would say don’t play… except maybe for Journey, but others from what I’ve read on Metacritic would hold this opinion as sacrilegious. I’m going to try and find a game I can not enjoy & criticise… remembered I wasn’t that keen on Fifa 13 either, but I think that is football and sports…

I’ve always been a gamer before consoles and PC’s could fill this gap, and today I’ve been like a child in a sweetshop, as I’ve found this wonderful repository ebookbrowse Here there are links to role play books that I’ve long since stored or given away. In particular MERP, or to you none geeks, Middle Earth Role Play. BTW, from the MERP book cover, this is what I thought the…

[Rating:3.5] I’ve picked up Metro – Last Light today on the PS3 I think I started a PC version a year ago??? I’ll have to look it up, remember not been too impressed. Although that could have been due to the lack of joypad 🙂 (Here it is Metr0 2033) It has decent ratings on Metacritic (82%), but then again so does every newly released title… off to play! 1st…

At the end of the 80’s, as a teenager RPG’s had just started to be released on consoles… or more importantly for me, on the ones I owned. I’d been reading the Fighting Fantasy books of Stephen Jackson and Ian Livingston from when they were first available, now I had the opportunity to role play without a dice, pencil, and eraser! The titles that are most prominent in my memory:…
