Yawn. How could you enjoy a game where there’s no challenge? Bloody cheater. via
Xbox 360 250GB HD drives going cheap
I just bought myself a 250GB drive for my Xbox at Argos in Mahon Point here in Cork. They’re going for 68 Euro now!
I remember reading somewhere that products designed for the now “older version” of the Xbox 360 would be reduced in price but this is madness. I have a nagging notion that 120GB drives were in the region of 100 Euro only a year ago. Would I be right?
The price is still inflated for what is only a SATA drive but the price reduction is welcome! (via)
Exposing a douchebag
I couldn’t be quite as calm as coynosham is while commentating the video above, though he does admit that including the audio message the sent the traitorous AMDLK in his video would get him banned from Youtube.
I don’t think I’ve come across any player on my own team blowing up MCOM stations though I know others have. I’d be livid and probably just quit with my squad if we were all in agreement.

There aren’t many times I can gloat about my score in any game. Yes, they probably joined the game late replacing people who were playing at the start of the round of Onslaught but just let me have my moment will you?

Another thing Bad Company 2 Onslaught is good for is trying out higher controller sensitivity. I pushed mine all the way to the top and it’s great!
Granted, I’m playing on easy so it only takes 1 or 2 bullets to take down an enemy but it’s amazing how much fast aiming down sight is. Got into a good game on Isla too, just missed beating my previous best score by 1.1 seconds!

I tried to play Singularity online a few minutes ago. Tried. I tried to join an extermination game first but failed, then a creatures vs soldiers game. Someone actually joined the lobby! Wow!
Unfortunately he left 10 seconds later when it became obvious nobody else was joining. Oh well.
Anyone played multiplayer Singularity?
Oink!
Remember Oink! the comic from the ’80s? Ah happy memories. There are two issues archived here, and the Wikipedia page on the comic is a fountain of knowledge.
It didn’t last long but I’m pretty sure I bought the very last issue. This comic strip rings a bell..

It really sucks when your squad is the only one attacking. Or at least it seems that way. In our last game there we lost but it felt like the rest of our team was just hanging back. It’s not as if it benefited them. We got best squad and our lowest score was easily 500 points above the nearest one below.
Some tough games of Bad Company 2 tonight but my KDR remains at 0.82. I played half an hour of Singularity first. I’m enjoying that game. The shotgun makes progress so much easier! 🙂
Edit: David got on just after I left, here’s his blog post about his rather different experience. Me? I’m up at 6am this morning. *yawn*
Hupit Gaming Announced
Geoff announced Hupit Gaming in his latest video. I’d swear I remember him talking about that before but Colin reminded me of it this morning so I registered.
At the end of this video Geoff gives a run down of how different parts of the site work. It has a very neat sharing gamertag section where you can search for other players to play with.
I feel old now because I appear to be the oldest BC2 player in Europe on the site. Oh dear. Look for either my XBL or PSN username or simply the username “donncha” to see my gamer profile.
Gaming meets social media! Well done to Geoff and WoodysGamertag for spotting a niche in the gaming world and creating a valuable website.
Now, some suggestions and bugs I found:
- Make “public” profiles so that non logged in users can see basic details about a user. The user should be able to control what details are visible.
- The registration form implies that my DOB is visible, when only my age is. Worth clarifying.
- I can’t find a link to my profile with the user id in the url. All I get is this url which points at the logged in user’s profile.
- When using the gamertag search facility the age criteria resets back to the default.
- Would it be possible to create an RSS feed from a search? As it would have to be public only the most basic details should be shown.
