Married people are better gamers?

Well, perhaps not but it’s interesting that they might be able to handle stress better than singletons if the study I read about in the Sunday Times is right.

On the other hand they probably have kids so that puts a huge limit on the amount of time one has to devote to gaming!

Oh, I don’t really believe my post title. I’m usually so tired by the time I play games I get trounced. This was a post to try out the Android WordPress app here. Works a treat!

Quake 3 for Android

Kwaak3 and Kwakk3arena (xda forum thread) are ports of Ouake 3 to Android that looks interesting but do first person shooters really work on mobile touch screen devices? That’s one of the downsides to getting rid of the keyboard, but you could always connect a USB keyboard to your device. All you’d be missing is a mouse then!

I might get my old Quake 3 box out of the attic and give it a go, just to see it in action!

I played two games of Call of Duty WAW yesterday evening. I have WAW and COD 4 on the Xbox 360 and I was considering trading them in for the PS3 versions.

How did I do? I played in the newbie section and didn’t get one single kill but I did manage a kill assist. Luckily my team won both games so I ranked up to level 3! I got kicked out in the next game because I didn’t have the map though.

I won’t be rushing out to play it just yet.

WIP: the Super Cache admin page

A small update, I’m slowly working through the WP Super Cache admin page in an effort to make it better. You can in fact download the development version if you want to follow along.

What you see above is my first pass. An effort to make the first options section match the look and feel of the standard Settings pages in WordPress. It’s all likely to be mixed around and moved about before the next release, so please, dig in and lend a hand!

Say Hi to Colin on PS3!

It’s public now. DCRU Colin has a Playstation 3! Cards posted a video yesterday announcing the news. I had a few games with them the other night but it went on until about 2am so I unfortunately won’t be doing that too often. Great guys to play with though.

The utterly fantastic intro on the commentary above was created by David and edited by Colin. Very nice work I’m sure you’ll agree!

PS. I wondered if anyone had noticed Colin playing in this game posted by David, and he was noticed but kept quiet about it. Best kept secret?

After last Friday’s games my Bad Company 2 skill level jumped up to 400! Just had a game of SDM with matched players and got slaughtered! Same story with Conquest. Ouch.

From a high of 403 it collapsed to 291 after SDM to 203 after a few games of Conquest. Woohoo! Next game I have should be considerably easier. Sorry Duck, Sulley, Conor and Wiid 🙂


Somehow Duck spawned on top of a tree in Nelson Bay. I joined him there for a minute but then jumped down to take this photo..
I always thought they preferred water.
