Review Friday: Black and White 2

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Okay, so not a recent game for review, like the guy over at PC Game Monthly, but I only started playing it on Wednesday, having bought it way back in June. It found it’s way to the bottom of the games pile. Black and White 2 is a RTS, come god game with a little SimCity thrown in.

Anyway, installed fine on XP, start the application, play with the weird into thing while I wait for the game to load, set the resolution to 1650 x 1080 (supports widescreen out of the box unlike some more recent games (I’m looking at you Bioshock)), whack the settings to high, and click new game… (more…)

Electric Sheep

A short poem about electric sheep:

Mary had a little lamb,
And boy did it’s fleece glow.
This little lamb was quite eclectic,
as it’s fleece was shockingly electric!

Review Friday: Videos and Guns

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

Now I’ve got your attention, this weeks review of my airsoft Beretta replica comes to you in video form!

I figured I’d attempt something new this week and so filmed the whole thing on my N95, using various K’Nex contraptions as tripods and head mounts. Took a lot of takes to get it done, and I’m still not impressed with the outdoor section. However I really enjoyed making it (didn’t enjoy creating this post though, as Wordpress doesn’t cope well with anything much more fancy than text).
