If so, please add me. Raptr tracks your profiles (such as Xbox LIVE, Xfire, Steam, PSN) and then reports activity from those profiles to your profile. So, if you earn a few achievements on Xbox LIVE, these get tracked and reported to your profile (providing you have privacy settings set to 'Everyone'). It's an interesting development let's say.

Anyway, take a look at my profile to get a better look and if you're a member, be sure to add me.

I'm back as a general moderator for GameSpot. I decided for a few months, that I simply wasn't helping out that much and so I went back to being a standard user. Now, whilst I am not as active as I used to be, I will be helping out every so often.

Why did I come back? Well, around E3, I found myself growing to use the site frequently once again, although not as much. Now, I aim to use the forums a few times a week and keep up with GameSpot's features. From here on, I will be moderating but not as heavily as other moderators. Doing a tiny bit of moderating is better than none. You could say that for any project really. A little, a lot - it helps.

So, for the friends that are still here and loyal to my profile, I will proceed to give you an insight on what I've played over the weekend. One game and that one game is Fallout 3. Surprise - not on the Xbox 360 but on my PC. I paid out a good chunk to get a decent rig sorted, so I might as well start playing some fairly recent titles on it. The good thing about Fallout 3 is how it sucks you right in and the many different ways you can do the quests.

There's a lot of walking to do but the world is huge. So many interesting places, secrets to unveil. I haven't had this much fun exploring since San Andreas. At first, with very little on my character, it seemed rather annoying but when you get a good supply of ammo and a few weapons, you feel fine. There's so much dialogue in Fallout 3. The developers must have dedicated a lot to get all this together.

It looks amazing. Using the 'Very High' configuration, although not every single thing is set to its highest. Running smooth - even with that Games for Windows - LIVE overlay. If I get 1000 gamerscore in this and enjoy it to the end, I may just get the expansion packs too. I've got a long way to go...

Nope. No emblems. Only have Nintendo conference one. Why? I was in chat for both Microsoft and Sony. So, surely I was watching them? Emblems really never work anymore on this site. It kinda feels annoying, especially when you go out of your way to watch these events live.

Every year I watch all conferences live. This year is no exception. Is there anyone who actually has all the press conference ones? Why must I suffer? I really shouldn't get too sensitive over them.

The Island
The opening of The Island is powerful and pays tribute to the beauty of film-making. The overall look and background music (props to Steve Jablonsky) applied have been done near-perfect. It's a short but powerful introduction to the feature and...

Mean Creek
Mean Creek I found to be a very hard hitting and powerful story of revenge gone wrong. A group of teens are getting fed up with the meaner, bigger bully and decide something must be done when he finally pushes the limit. So, they decide to take...

Star Kid
Star Kid isn't necessarily the brightest star of films out there but it sure is worth watching for the family. The character Spencer meets "Cy," whom he enters and is able to become powerful. Spencer is a shy guy and finds it hard to...

Boys Don't Cry
Boys Don't Cry really does know how to put you into this world of cruelty. It shows you how people can be affected because of them wanting to be another gender.

The film is about a woman who is dressed and acts like a man. From now...
