Its been a long time – GLaDOS
Portal was one of the best puzzle games in 2009. Possibly the perfect mix of game for the acerage geek. Puzzle action and humour, add a dash of geek referance and geek nostalgia and there you have it. It looks like the developers are taking the sequel to a whole new level.
Just have a look you will be amazed on how valve have put this teaser together.
Selling a computer can be a big deal. Sales pitches can come hard to people, especially when there is emotional attachment to the computer in question. Somehow however I don’t think the seller of this computer had any concerns about his conscience.
I think what amazes me the most about this is the fact so many address tags are taken.
Potato’s aren’t that fast, compared to lets say anything that isn’t inanimate.
I’m a fan of funny tv ads, stupid tv add’s, crazy tv add’s and tv add’s that go nowhere take a left at Broome then crash into a light post just south of Derrin where they are absorbed into some kind of Stephen King horror story. I figure if you want me to buy something the least you can do is entertain me.
This isn’t very entertaining. I guess that makes it a good thing that Opera is free.
So It’s not a big surprise to people that know me when I bitch about Halo. The rave, the lunacy, the frat boy society that pervades the Halo Franchise all in all simply takes a less than absolute fps game experience and defecates on it. Let’s just get it all out in the air. Halo is a console fps and console fps’ are still 3 years behind PC fps games. That is of course until Activision’s COD4.
Those of you who have played COD 4 will have undoubtedly appreciated in both console and PC form. Being that PC is my preferred gaming media device I will say COD4 on PC was better than COD 4 on Console however the experience is legitimately arguable. COD 4 brought real fps gaming to the Console. None of this uber jump and sniper pistols, no Zombies’ or Alien’s or Alien Zombies in fact not even forgetull pathing ai’s. COD 4 was plain and simple a tactical modern combat game across all consoles. ( It could be argued that COD 2 and COD 3 were pc/console equivalents. They weren’t!)
COD6 is that and more.
I’ve just finished the Call of Duty – Modern Warfare 2 single player campaign on normal and I can only describe the experience as the single most intense and absorbing piece of entertainment media I have ever had the pleasure to be a part of. ** please note full article may have spoilers. Though if you have been reading the news or have any interest in the game you’ll know what I’m talking about already.

So the missus(Wife/Girlfriend for the un-Australian.) recently bought me Assassin’s Creed II (I know I know, I was all like WTF ORSM). Initially I wasn’t incredibly impressed. The game play followed very closely to the original (not in itself a bad thing) and I had started to think perhaps it was simply the same game with a different character and new settings. To some extent this is true however after a few hours of intensely enjoyable game play I had found the new an improved Price of Persia Rip Off that we had all come to love.
Recently I’ve been dragging my clunky old machine around a little too often and i’m finding it quite straining on the back. It’s been in the back of my head for a while now that a new case might be in order. Not to say my Lian-Li is anything but exceptional but I could do with a lifting aid (Handle, Personal Troll,) and perhaps a little more internal space for better cooling. I don’t think my tiny mid-atx was ever meant to handle a solid quad and a 4890.
