Link Exchange Spammers Are Back Again!

Well, the link spammers never really went away did they? Has anyone noticed a huge increase in the number of “link exchange” emails or is it that I’ve been added to a particularly busy spammer’s list? I just noticed that a few recent ones contained the text “emailsnomore(dot)com” so I’m going to add a gmail filter to delete any emails containing that domain. You probably should too.

Bad Company 2: Laguna Presa Conquest

Here’s another game of Bad Company 2 I played with the PS3 Coffin Dodgers about 10 days ago. We rocked this game of conquest and I quite like this map too in that game mode. I like alternating between Bravo and Charlie mostly, but when Alpha needs attention I’m over there too!

Thumbs up on Youtube please, or even a thumbs down if that rocks your boat!

Road kill on Heavy Metal!

Paul confessed that he doesn’t remember this road kill last night in Bad Company 2 and when I looked at the footage recorded I know why. He was looking the other way! It was his first time playing the game and here’s what he has to say about it!

Games were first on Xbox with Paul and myfingershurt and later Nick joined us, in another squad but in our XBL party so we could chat!

Late in the evening I hopped over to the PS3 with Nick and joined David for a successful defense of Valparaiso and then an attack on Harvest.

Great games!

Rocky Memphis and The Temple of Ophuxoff

If you’re an older gamer who loved the classic gameplay of Rick Dangerous and other platformers you’ll love Rocky Memphis and The Temple of Ophuxoff, a freeware game made by Trevor (Smilia) Storey and Stuart Collier.

It’s a huge 600 screen platformer to explore so this won’t be finished quickly. It’s “casual gamer” friendly too as there are infinite lives and you can save the game at any time, and you can upload your top scores to the game website. It’s also available for Windows and Mac OS X so you (probably) don’t have any excuse for not trying it!

Here’s an interview with the authors including titbits about their Last Ninja remake, and news of their Myth remake too. They also shed some light on sales of the commercial Armalyte remake. If I had a PC I’d buy that in an instant!

Bad Company 2 on the Xbox 360 has better…

Bad Company 2 on the Xbox 360 has better audio than the PS3. At least that’s my impression every time I hear it. Maybe it’s my headphones but the audio sounds clearer, and more vibrant.

Anyway, I joined TheFingersHurt and two of his friends, Gaggapudding and BasicTorshiro for a few games of Bad Company 2 on the Xbox. First up was conquest on Heavy Metal and games on that are as manic as they are when I’m playing with my friends on PS3. Mad racing jeeps, indiscriminate firing of rockets and bumping of each other’s vehicles and that sort of madness!

We played rush on Oasis too, and when attacking failed miserably right until we made a concerted effort. I smoked up the area, we armed Bravo and defended it but it was too late. Still, we defended the same base successfully on the first game too so maybe it’s hard to attack? We tried Cold War too but the less said about that the better. Ahem.

Should have gameplay videos of those games up sometime, the games of on Heavy Metal were especially mad and memorable!
