A very impressive monolithic tower on our Minecraft server, extending right from the bottom of the world to the top (I think). I’m getting dizzy just looking up..
Friends vs Friends on Bad Company 2
The other night we played Bad Company 2 on PS3 for a few hours with almost a full team of us on Skype! Unfortunately due to the match making system in the game not everyone could get on the same team despite repeated attempts to do so.
A couple of others were off Skype and missed the hilarity of inter-team communication but they also didn’t have to mind that enemy players were within ear shot and could take advantage of spoken comments..
Regardless, it was a great night. Here are some clips I put together from a few of those games. Thanks to everyone who could make it. Xbox Night next or PS3 again?
Make sure to check out the summary post Paul made on the Bravo 2 Company website too. He linked to David and Gavin’s videos too!
WTF is Dino D-Day?
I played Dino D-Day and I was slightly less than impressed. At the time (during the beta) there were only a couple of servers and only myself and another player between all of them. The Cynical Brit has plenty to say about it too however, hardly any of it good. (via)
Serious Fun with Serious Sam 2
I remember playing the Serious Sam games years ago but the HD remakes are so pretty and still just as much fun! Love them!
Mafia II is 75% off
Mafia II is 75% off on Steam right now. I’ve played about 2 hours of the game and it’s an enjoyable sandbox world very like Grand Theft Auto IV, but set in the 1940’s.
Just be aware that you might be paying over the odds by as much as 48%, depending on where you live. Ask a US friend to gift it for you if you can!
The Gamer’s Craic #3
Episode 3 of The Gamer’s Craic podcast is now live, with the “guest this time is NGT director and Hupit bod Gary, AKA Hypermole and also mole237 on YouTube.” David did a great job of editing it as always. Thanks Gary for coming on the show!
It was a laugh doing it, but DO NOT listen past the end. No good will come of listening past the end jingle. No, do not do it. Really!
Also this morning episode 14 of the Don’t Revive Me Bro podcast was released with Daniel Matros, aka zh1nt0 who talked at length about Battlefield and other things.
Android Playstation Emulator goes Free!
Fly! Fly away! Be free!
In other news, the Playstation emulator for Android (PSX4Droid) that Google booted off the Android Market is now open source and you can grab source and binaries from here. If you’re impatient get the apk here and install in the usual way on your phone. (via)
Now, how do I load a PS1 CD into my phone?
Rain and snow in Minecraft
The next Minecraft update brings achievements and weather effects. Looks good, but odd going from rain to snow and back again. Still working on it I see. (via)
Akismet Asteroids
Akismet, the anti comment spam service run by Automattic recently announced that they had stopped 25 billion spam messages.
It’s quite an achievement of course and worth worth celebrating with a game of Asteroids. I’ll let you find the game yourself, it’s not hard to do so! 🙂
Painkiller!
No, not the podcast, but a Polish game released in 2004 and it’s on gog.com now. Yesterday it was priced at $3.99 and I jumped at the chance after watching the Zero Punctuation review and a couple of Youtube gameplay videos. Looks very old school like Quake, Doom or Serious Sam!
It’s back to $9.99 now however.
