July 2010 – Something Odd!

Sunset Riders

Sunset Riders + MAME + Xbox Controller = lots of fun

Phoar! Bad Company 2 Onslaught on hardco…

Phoar! Bad Company 2 Onslaught on hardcore is a nice challenge! No health meter, no ammo count, no map. Tough. I like!

In other news I tried Gears of War 2 again after a lengthy absence. It’s just not the same. I tried horde and a few other multiplayer modes but it told me I was missing necessary map packs! Argh! That sucks.

Well, we played Conquest tonight and had…

Well, we played Conquest tonight and had a blast, despite playing on some crummy teams. Still, we won a few games too and I even came out of one game with 14 kills for 4 deaths. Got a gold star for the hand grenade and my 9th gold star for the AN-94.
I reduced the sensitivity of the PS3 controller slightly, to about 75% and I’m doing alright, even with that burst weapon.

Thanks Mike, Rossy and David for the great games!

The guys on reddit give rush on White Pa…

The guys on reddit give rush on White Pass a thumbs up but I’m worried that all the crates are in buildings.

Still, might give it a go tonight.

Flimbo’s Quest Music

Foot taping stuff. Great tune by Reyn Ouwehand. If you hear my phone ring an mp3 remix of this tune is what you’ll hear. Yes, I.am.a.big.C64.fan!

When you’re finished with that, try out this guitar cover of the same tune. Bob played each voice of the C64 (plus noise I guess) separately and merged them all together. Neat.

I wonder if anyone would be interested in commentaries on old games? What about a corner by corner account of Stunt Car Racer? No, I guess not. Its time has passed.

C4 on the roof

If you thought C4ing the MCOM station was bad check out the video above. You can plant C4 on the roof of the second Alpha on Arica Harbour and blow it up! Now, it takes so much C4 it’s not practical but if someone was determined they could do it.

No Man Left Behind

Wow, I opened this video on Youtube yesterday to watch it and it had only been viewed 501 times. Now it’s at 7,900! Great video, all shot in Bad Company 2, written and directed by Benjamin Stratton.

The black screen intermissions could be about half as long but it’s a supreme effort and well worth watching and giving a thumbs up!

BC2 Mode Pack #6

Cool, Field Operative has the scoop (yet again) on the new ~~map pack~~ mode pack.

The next mode pack will be out on the 28th, 2 days from now and will feature Rush on White Pass and Conquest on Nelson Bay.

Now if only they could make the MCOM stations repairable.

Oops, make that map pack #5. I’ll wager money though that map pack #6 won’t have any new maps either.

Had quite a bit of fun in Bad Company 2 …

Had quite a bit of fun in Bad Company 2 Onslaught tonight. Played easy difficulty with strangers. Some games were great, some downright terrible. Had loads of fun in the heli on Atacama Desert and even kept the bird flying for quite some time!

I almost always came out with the highest number of kills simply because my squad didn’t always know how to play Onslaught. They didn’t push hard enough, taking cover metres away from the flag instead of camping on it. Other times they downright ignored my calls for help.

TexasGhost who was afk for the game below flew in the heli with me as a gunner in one game and had his mic on and proved to be good company flying over the enemy.
