Wow, BfBC2 multiplayer is hard. My K/D is 0.27. I’m cannon fodder. *sob*

I must admit, after reading this review (and this one) I want a GP2X Wiz.
Quake 1 running on the GP2X Wiz (lots more)
You can buy the unit at Play Asia where it’s described as:
GP2X is going in the next round with a completely reworked new gadget, the GP2X Wiz!
Powered by a 533Mhz 3D flash engine, the GP2X Wiz is the long-awaited update to the beloved Linux based handheld, offering updated multi-media features, a long serving rechargeable battery, a touch screen and a new sleek design.
Play games, read e-books, see videos and play music files. Let the GP2X Wiz be your all-round multimedia parter for all situations.
‘Course my only problem is that I work at home, and when I go anywhere I’m driving and when I get there it’s usually with family so I’ll either have a better computer nearby, or won’t have an opportunity to play it. Might suit my son Adam as a portable gaming platform?

I got my Blur multiplayer beta code the other day. Haven’t tried it yet but this review promises an interesting game!
Overall, it feels like a cross between Project Gotham Racing mixed with Mario Kart, with just a bit of the Burnout destruction mixed in.

“The story is online with others, not single player.”
Above I’m paraphrasing something I read a while back but the truth of it was brought home to me after playing BfBC2 for a few hours last night after 3 games of Modern Warfare 2.
This morning as I thought back to the previous night’s gameplay my first thoughts were of multiplayer action in MW2. I recalled the camping enemy soldier I knifed on Highrise, and then when the minimap exposed the sniper on the roof of the hut I stood next to, I climbed up, stood over him for a moment and *slash*. I wish I recorded that game as the final kill was a jumping shot I somehow pulled off.
BfBC2? The single player game was hectic, it was fun but ultimately not as satisfying. I’ll still play through to the finish of course, but I’m really looking forward to the online play.
Ghosting through Modern Warfare 2
This video of ghosting almost persuaded me to pick up a knife and start a melee campaign on Modern Warfare 2 again. ONLYUSEmeBLADE gives lots of tips and advice for staying invisible on the battlefield.
What sealed it for me was this melee guide on codnation. Pilot lists several different types of play style and gives plenty of excellent advice on how to go about knifing the enemy team. Based on it I kitted up with:
- UMP (with silencer when I unlocked it after my first game)
- AA-12 that went mostly unused
- claymores and flashbangs
- and Scavenger pro, Cold Blooded and Ninja pro.
During the games there were plenty of UAVs and air support. I kept well away from my team and I think I died only once, when a harrier airstrike got lucky. I didn’t do quite a swell in the games that followed that first 11/5 one but I enjoyed myself.

Phew, almost 2 hours of Bad Company 2 single player, and it’s fun. And also a lot less intense than multiplayer games. Loving it so far.

Phoar! Playing a ghost game of MW2 knifing people. Got the last kill on Highrise by jumping off the steps going down and shooting a guy and ended up with a score of 11/5. Nice 🙂

If like me you have a small person in your home, and a PS3, you’ll probably appreciate Little Big Planet images. (via)

Gaming TODO list:
- Finish Bad Company 1. I’m almost near the end, but I kept dying in the village where you have to destroy the two bridges.
- Play Portal as the sequal has been announced. I have the Orange Box, and despite being a huge Half Life fan back in the day I played about an hour of HL2 before getting bored of it. I never even go to Portal.
First Day at #WCIRL
So, day one of WordCamp Ireland draws to a close, there is a dinner tonight but the talks and sessions are over for the day.
I briefly helped John Handelaar during his talk on WordPress MU, but my main talk was on WP Super Cache. Thank you Hanni, Jane and Sheri for recording the talk. Hopefully it’ll be available online next week. In the meantime here’s the OpenOffice slides of my talk.
I must extend a big thank you to Sabrina Dent and Katherine Nolan for organising a great day and to the sponsors who made the weekend possible.
Looking forward to the dinner tonight, and the rest of the conference tomorrow.
Update! I’ve added a few photos from Day 2. I was shattered tired though as I was up until 1.30am chatting with Donnacha!
Update 2! Sabrina has written a thoughtful post about WordCamp Ireland. I for one had a great time there and so did everyone I spoke to. I totally agree with her about child minding facilities. My son Adam had a whale of a time, and is still talking about it. (and for an almost three year old, that’s a very good sign!)
