Oblivion (360)

The DeKay spoke with tongue of wisdom! Being stuck in a wizard’s dreamscape was just ACE. Anyway, I eventually got out and then went and did another arena session. Then I went WAAAAY to the West to find out about the heritage of one of the arena fighters and killed loads of skellingtons and vampires.

Oblivion (360)

I’ve done about a million things since the last post – I’m twenty-odd hours in now. So, I’ve stalked through a haunted shipwreck, killing ghosts by the dozen (silver arrows for the win! A handy supply should be kept at all times). I’ve also been trapped as the prey in a kind of human-hunt, but

Oblivion (360)

No posts for days then two come along at once. T’ch, eh? Anyway, my youngest lad and I had an epic romp  – we went off looking for the ghostie I mentioned earlier and stumbled across some old ruins. Egged on by the lad, I decided to pop downstairs and see what was about. A

Oblivion (360)

I have no idea how far in I am, but let me just say that this game is collossal (or at least it feels that way). I’m doing about four hundred things at once. Anyway, I snuck back into the Imperial Prison and assassinated a nasty man (without even opening his cell door – marksmanship

The Day After Tommorrow

We watched this last night. We have nicknamed it the film with the wee orange tent;-) In just about every scene there it is. Watch it and you will see 😉 We really enjoyed the film although it made us feel chilled.

12 Angry Men

I find it incredible that the Hollywood that produced masterpieces like this in the fifties is now serving up slices of badly written sequel served on a buttered shite. 12 jurors in a room, 11 guilty votes, 1 not guilty vote, and a death sentence. Either eleven men have to convince one man to take

Pan’s Labyrinth

Pan’s Labyrinth is a very odd movie. It’s essentially the story of a young girl named Ophelia living in post-Franco Spain in 1944, whose mother – through necessity – marries a brutal fascist army captain. After moving to the captain’s rural posting, where he’s involved with stamping out a local resistance group, she discovers a

Oblivion (360)

Hold the front page! I actually did a bit of the main quest! I closed the Oblivion gate at Kvatch (for the second time, technically, but only the first time with this character) then stormed the city and rescued Martin. I haven’t done the second city assault yet, cos I decided to escort Martin back

Oblivion (360)

I haven’t really posted about this game, despite having been completely sucked into it. As I’ve just crossed the 10 hour mark, I though I may as well give a brief summary of what’s happened so far. Well, I escaped from the prison and did all the class creation stuff. I turned out to be

Prey

If there’s one thing the 360 appears to have no shortage of, it’s mediocre shooters. This one is very pretty, has a good variety of things to shoot but is otherwise as dull as dishwater and filled with completely unneccessary bad language, presumably to get that all-important 18 certificate. It’s a yawnfest. Are you noticing
