Half-Life 2: Deathmatch

Blimey. This is quite some intense action! In a way it's more like playing Quake than it is Half Life - it feels even more intense than the original Half Life multiplayer deathmatch at least. It's no Counterstrike:Source though, I am liking that game even more now, especially what with …

Goodbye Brighton, Hello Brixton (for one night only)

Last night I went to see Groove Armada at the Brixton Academy for marky's birthday. It was a truly excellent show - the performance was really spot on and they have done an excellent job preparing the tour so it's not just a string of set pieces; It was more like …

Comments

I've disabled comments because they are filling up with spam. Sucks, but then this is the Internet, where people will take advantage of anything they can, just because they can. I'm not sure why anyone thinks that people reading about poker and fuck knows what else in my comments will …

Mmm, Source goodness

I really didn't think it would go this smoothly at all, but I have just been playing Half Life 2 and Counterstrike:Source at pretty acceptable rates in Transgaming's Cedega. Woo! It's a really impressive engine - realistic physics is definitely going to make games a load more fun :)

Suck suck suck suck suck

Suck suck suck suck suck. That's how much a really sucky thing sucks. What sucks more than that is crap like this. For those who don't read the link, the 4 word summary is "Operation Screw The Iraqis", this time by rewriting their constitution to place all sorts of insane …

More Ugly!

I think I've figured out what I'm going to be doing on New Years Eve..... another Ugly Duckling gig! woo! If you're interested (and you should be), check it out here before the tickets run out!

Alfie

If you are a Michael Caine fan, or like brit movies, or just generally like good old movies (or were young when it was released), you've probably seen the original Alfie, tale of a Jack The Lad character who cares only for himself and slowly becomes aware of the hurt …

Dig in the ribs

Last night I went to Dig in the ribs with a few friends and some 2-for-1 coupons. It's a Tex-Mex restaurant in Brighton's food quarter (a nice way of saying "that road with all the steak and chinese places" ;) that offers a fine array of meats and sauces. I had …

You Gee Ell Why!

It's Monday. It's the 1st of November. It's 2004. This means only one thing... Tonight I am going to an Ugly Duckling gig in London! WOO! More when I've actually been ;) Update: Wooo! UD rock live! They were unfortunately a little late arriving, so could only play for about an …

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

It's scant hours since the release of the latest in Rockstar North's venerable GTA series and we've been giving the game a good bashing; these are my first impressions. The last GTA game, Vice City, was itself a dramatic improvement on the preceeding titles and Rockstar have continued the evolution …
