One of the few things that didn't kill me

I've been spending a great deal of time over the last month playing, and dying, on Dark Souls, the spiritual successor to the fantastic Demon Souls. As I sit at the PC to game on on all platforms, I kept a little death log...

By now the majority of the gaming public should be enjoying Deus Ex: Human Revolution, one of the highlights of this year so far. If you have you’ll be aware that Adam Jensen, the game’s protagonist, is in need of a new mirror.

He really needs that new mirror.

Oh so much better than Killzone 1

Each month I keep mentioning how I need to find my way back to console gaming after only ever getting more engrossed into PC gaming. July wasn’t much of an improvement in this department, with the majority of my free gaming time being invested into finishing The Witcher 2, Recettear, Octodad and Crysis 2. Both The Witcher 2 and Crysis 2 enjoyed bringing my PC to its knees, with The Witcher 2 still holding the trophy as best game, graphically, thanks to its superior art direction.

June is a fantastic month, one in which I celebrate my birthday, father’s day and my anniversary. It’s also a month that I tend to game heavily and this year is no different. Kicking off the first week of June I attended a ‘sleepless’ LAN with a handful of friends, playing games from the Friday night till Saturday midday. Whilst we managed to clear through the SWAT 4 expansion, the highlight came with introducing them to League of Legends and Trackmania. I have seemingly caused a few addictions, whilst reinvigorating my own.

I've had a falling out with the consoles of my household. We're not on talking terms any more. It's not that I'm not tempted by her luring curves or his goose bump inducing bleep bloops, it's just because the accessibility and comfort of PC gaming is continuing to spoil me.

Mummy has just left for work

It's Sunday May 29th 2011 and my Mummy has just left for work, which explains the sad face of mine. Daddy says he's going to try out a new project called 'Picturedays' to cheer me up.

Blame the distractions

Welcome to the latest version of my personal portfolio! I have decided to do another overhaul of the site design, this time focusing on the front-end instead of the back, aiming to make navigation between the pages easier and more attractive. Any issues with the site for the upcoming weeks may simply be because I am still ironing out a few bugs or developing new features.
