This isn’t really a review as such. I don’t do reviews because it takes time, patience and effort. However, when Minecraft was released on Xbox this week I struggled to find a review entirely from the perspective of a complete newcomer. Most seemed to be written by PC gamers who spent a lot of their review talking about the PC version. I understand this Xbox release is lacking a lot of features which is a major bummer (yeah, I said “major bummer”, this is why I don’t write proper reviews) but that doesn’t really help us console folk. Those that replied to my twitter-plea were all interested in the views of a newbie so here’s mine. It may or may not help you decide whether to try the game, you could just play the trial which is WAY more fun than reading this.
The Neighbours Cast When Younger
Following some banter on Twitter I started looking up photos of the Neighbours cast when they were younger. Many of the actors started on the show while young or as children anyway but here are my favourites from the older cast. I’m not sure Alan Dale ever ages, he just has less hair.
My So-Called Life
Tonight while idly flicking through Netflix for a cheesy film to watch, I came across a TV series I loved as a teenager – My So-Called Life. After some time toying over whether or not to brave the potential incoming disappointment that can accompany older programmes, I decided to fire up the very first episode. An hour later and here I sit in quite a poignant mood. Not because the show seemed poorly acted or had aged badly but because it was still good, perhaps too good.
Now Listening 25/04/2012
It’s raining rain, hallelujah, therefore I’m stuck inside as I have been for days now, alone, slowly going loopy. So I’m going to do a quick ‘now listening’ blog post to a) to keep me entertained and b) cos people seem to actually look at them. Probably because they’re stuck inside at work, alone, slowly going loopy.
The Return Of Sofa Gaming
I am a multiplayer gamer. At home most of my recent gaming fixes have been coming from Battlefield 3 conquest games which I’ve currently poured 86+ hours into (my parents would be so proud). If I’m not on BF3 then I’m trying to round up friends into Left 4 Dead or bugging them to do the Saints Row 3 co-op with me. Rarely am I found on a single player game. I do work through campaigns and have completed the likes of Modern Warfare 3 and Arkham City in recent months but so many titles lay half-played because frolicking online with friends will distract me every time.
Now Listening 20/03/2012
I’ve spent too long today gazing at the TV either watching The Sopranos or playing games so I’m going to rest my eyes by, erm, staring at the laptop screen for a bit instead… Here lies some of my top tunes from the past week or so.
