January 2008
This month in review is brought to you by all of life's minor annoyances. Gridlock's Month in Review: January 2008 The Damage A teeny tiny number of additions this month. I'm short...
This blog post is powered by coffee, a crap library computer and one seriously annoyed lady. Yep, my PC went belly-up late last week. Since then I've been resigned to either begging my friends to...
This month in review is brought to you by Bacardi-fuelled hangovers, excessive volumes of coffee and six hours at double-pay. Gridlock's Month in Review: December 2007 The Damage A...
Righty-o. Firstly, my interwebs in Bradford went belly-up on Tuesday and as far as I know it is still kaput. And then my PC starting playing silly buggers and I'm afraid a reinstall is looking...
This is all about me and I am not about to mention the J word. Gridlock's Month in Review: November 2007 The Damage Most obvious is the addition of an XBox 360 to my gaming...
I was going to write this thing about Singapore banning Mass Effect for its scenes of same-sex canoodling, which quite honestly shocked and disgusted me (the banning, not the scenes). I'm not...
It's a few days late, but I really like the idea that some users ( jesus_knight , duncanr2n and others) have got about doing a monthly update blog thingummy. I've now got the bulk of my...
I know I'm a day late, but I've finally, finally, finally finished one of the seemingly million pieces of coursework I have to do right now and I fancy a nice break. Which I'm going to spend...
I'm having a party. A small, contained party with minimal alcohol (*wink*), absolutely no destruction of property (*wink* *wink*), coffee tables and cats all round. Okay, so it's a virtual party....
I've not done much here for a while. I've not really bought many games lately, nor have I had much spare time to play them in. In between university coursework overload, getting a job, rocking out...
Okay, it seems like the big news of the minute is the upcoming DualShock 3 for PS3. Force-feedback, y'all. While I don't have a PS3 yet, I'll probably get one eventually when Final Fantasy XIII...
You may or may not know there's another Scavenator hunt thingy going on. And this time UK and Australia can play. Woo. Hoo. My knowledge of new games sucks, mainly because I don't yet have a...
It's not games related but it is Game spot related, so here goes. I've just headed here for my daily forum browse and postwhoring session and what did I find but a nice PM waiting for me....
For various personal and family reasons, I've not had a good week so far. But I've decided to not let that stand in the way of progress and have turned my mind to educational matters. That, and...
I've just got up, it's Sunday morning, the rain informs me summer is over, some tool sniped me at an eBay auction with literally two seconds to go and I had the oddest dream last night. Great...
Okay, so I was randomly flicking through the latest issue of PC Gamer whilst poking through my brother's things. I was actually looking for an Ian Livingstone gamebook that he borrowed about ten...
I may have just had my lucky find of the century. Went shopping this morning, poked around the usual places - Game, Gamestation, charity shops, what have you - found nothing of note. Walking back...
It's small, but it brightened up a considerably rainy day. I went on eBay a few minutes ago to leave feedback for a game I bought, Digital Devil Saga 2 . I've become addicted rather quickly to...
Here's the deal. Sometimes you see something that is so perfectly the epitome of stupidity that you have to wonder why the person responsible wasn't bred out of the population long ago. The other...
What better way to celebrate E3, my promotion to Toobin' and the start of my second row of shinies than to actually start using this thing? I've no idea what I'm going to write; I've got a couple...
