PC Gaming Isn't Dying Official Merchandise

Valve is cool. So am I.

Inspired by the glowing response to the STRELOK limited edition autograph signed by myself, here is my response to those other developers who think that PC Gaming is dead and having its eulogy read. I think it would sound something like this:

"PC Gaming was such a gentle platform, kind to those with decent hardware, always willing to give high resolutions to those in need."

WOW! Its a Mass Arrival!

Well I have just installed Mass Effect and I am about to play it! My exams are finished so I am excited to see how this game goes with all the hype and talk up about it.

What a great game so far! The presentation is so slick and cinematic! This has really made my day!!

EDIT: I have just installed my free trial of yes, World of Warcraft lol. I have waited a long time to play this game. The fiend that stole the GOTY crown from HL2. I will update soon on my first impressions. Looking forward to it! xx

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: A Loser's Marathon! *Updated!!*

Join me as I count down the final hours of playing STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl!

S.T.A.L.K.E.R: A Loser's Marathon has been brought to you by Gamespot, Windows Vista, PS2STONY, and Westcliff Juice!

If you would like to sponser me on my quest to finish the game then let me know here on my blog!

*Cue Chariots of Fire Music*

The game is going okay at the moment. I am up to a part where I have to turn off an Antenna or something. I have been told that this is nearing the end. Is this correct? I have focused primarily on the main campaign as opposed to that of the side quests.

A review of the game will be posted after I have completed the race! Who is excited about reading it? Raise your hand!!

UPDATE: Extra, extra, read all about it! Loser Beats STALKER! Goes mad in the process of the never ending portals!!

Wow! What a hecktic week it has been! We raised so much money from the STALKER fun run that it will all be donated to the construction of the new childrens hospital!

The Marathon presented a wonderful carnival like atmosphere and there were many great items to purchase from the array of stalls organised by the STALKER players. Stalker T-Shirts, mugs, spy-glasses and mini Vodka bottles were up for sale, while photos with Strelok also proved popular and should make the perfect gift for someone this year.

To those who donated: You've done yourselves proud!!

My Iron Man Film Review

IRON MAN

Directed By: Jon Favreau

Iron Man, directed by Jon Favreau, centres on a businessman Tony Stark, an irresponsible playboy, who creates weapons for the US Army. When he is captured by terrorists in Afghanistan he is tortured and told to develop a powerful missile. Instead he realises the misuse of the weapons and develops an armoured suit to escape.

While this may appear to be just another comic book adaption, Iron Man is lifted above it's source material thanks to the likable and charismatic performance of Robert Downey Jr. His arrogance, wit and precise timing of some clever lines adds both humour and a rare freshness to the superhero franchise. The action scenes are also equally watchable due to the razzle dazzle special effects and snappy editing. There is indeed a more serious subtext to the film about power, responsibility and militarism, but it never overshadows what is essential a very fun film.
