The Year That Was
And as the year 2006 draws slowly to a close, its time to look back at all the gaming actionIsawand experiencedthis year, from best to worst. Obviously I can't even think of matching Gamespot's... Now Arriving At: Level 14, Ring King
Not a good name for a level. Again, practically no idea what it actually means. Not much probably. As may be shown, there have been a fair share of graemlins around since the last post entry. Now... I hate... Dual Core... Grrr...
Really. It is the most, damned (pardon :D) annoying thing I every purchased. I really wish I had bought a computer with just one processor. Almost 2/3rd's of my games crash routinely on the... This is Level 13: Toobin'
I really haven't the foggiest what "Toobin'" could mean. It possibly could be slang for Tubing (going down rivers in a rubber-ring) or maybe it could mean 'too bin', i.e. go to the bin, although... 'Slow Down...'
"You move too fast, you've got to make the morning last." Ah, you've just got to love Simon & Garfunkel. Did you know Paul Simon was a dog in a past life? "Hello lampost." See? Anyway, on to more... Level 12: Rad Racer
I guess that stands for 'Radical'. Anyway, its only a slightly better name than Atomic Punk, but at least I have progressed another level. DEFCON should be able to be pre-loaded by the end of... Mutually Assured Destruction
MAD isn't it? Well, I saw on Steam that DEFCON is coming in the next week. Being a huge fan of both WarGames but moreover Dr. Strangelove, (see avatar) I knew when I saw it, that I had to buy this... Born in the U.S.A.
Well, I wasn't, I've only been on several excellent holidays, but it's obvious that Bruce Springsteen was. Great song. Anyway, the holidays are over, and its back to school and work again. It's... Level 11: I'm an Atomic Punk.
And you'd better believe it! Eurh, compared to Phoenix Down, Atomic Punk sounds terrible. Still I'm not complaining. The wireless network is back up, and seems to be remaining online, for the... This is Canada calling...
Yes, I am in Calgary at this very moment. The wonders of the internet, it never sleeps! Calgary is impressive, clean and agreeable. I can't really say the same thing for the house we are staying... 'Good things...'
'...come to those who wait' is the new slogan of Guiness. It is also true of the Good Taste Gamespot badge, which I have now been awarded. When you breach Level 10, it seems to get much easier to... This is Level 10: Phoenix Down
Two three things have recently happened. First, I have got my PC Aficionado badge, I have been invited to write reviews for another site and I have now made it to double figures in Gamespot... Awarded First Badge!!
Normally, I hate to add extra exclaimation marks, but this really deserves it. After a year of waiting, I have, at last, been awarded a badge: A Tagging Flirt. Alright, its not a brilliant one,... Oh, the clouds floating by...
Like the clouds? They've been cut from a picture of Nice I took. I wanted to put in gbrading's profile somewhere, but the image got huge. Anyway, its much better than the old plain black bar. I'm... Welcome to the Grand Level 9: Ikari Warrior
Here I am once again, at the start of Level 9 instead of 8. I'm moving up in the world. In games news, I bought HL2: Episode One with was total awesome! I believe that even though it was shorter,... This is Level 8: Quad Damage
I have reach Echalion 8: Quad Damage, which I guess stands for Quadrupule (is that how its spelt?) Damage. Still, no badges, but I guess I need to contribute more to Gamespot before they will... Level 7: Sectoid
Welcome to Level 7! I have just realised that I now posses the priviledge of writing reviews of games! I actually got that ability at level 6 but didn't realise. A lot of exciting games coming... Welcome to Level 6: The Super Spy!
Horray! It took me a bit of time but I made it to level 6. Very proud. Half Life 2: Episode One will be arriving in stores soon, along with Rainbow Six Lockdown. Not sure if I want Lockdown any... Welcome to Level 5: Tapper.
I am very proud. I have managed to reach level 5 on GameSpot. At the moment, it seems to be updating my progress which I am very happy about. It is a shame about Half Life 2: Aftermath. It's not... Half Life 2 Aftermath
Aftermath is on its way. I hope that it isn't going to take as long as Half Life 2 did. Three years was a long time to wait. Age of Empires 3 and The Movies are also looking good too. Hey, you...
