Flash mob gone wrong
An amazing video showing just how quickly the power of the internet can make things spiral out of control with alarming speed.
Let’s Play! Behind Closed Doors
“You can’t do an entire text adventure with just one location,” they said, “especially if that location is the smallest room in the house”. John Wilson, the author of Behind Closed Doors retorted with “Piffle!”, and here it is.
Kinect is out today!
Remember folks, if you’re getting Kinect today, don’t forget you need a warehouse to play it in, otherwise this might happen! Of course, this could be easily solved – just like Nintendo did with the Wii – by encasing the controllers in protective silicone. (video via @thebeamish)
Fallout: New Vegas (360)
30 hours in now. This game just gets better and better. I expected it to be good, sure, but little did I know it’d actually be better than Fallout 3 was. There’s more variety, in both the quests and the way in which you complete them. There are fewer “shoot people” quests and more “do interesting things” quests. There are more memorable characters, even those who are incidental – Yes Man, Betsy, Keely, Old Ben, The King – all ace. …
NaNoWriMo 2010 #2
Extract #2 James and Colin had known each other since primary school. Colin joined part way through the last year before “big school”, and due to an incident involving a hot glue gun and some toilet rolls on his first day he ended up in the medical room at the same time as James who was having another fake asthma attack caused by the onset of PE. They’d been friends, of varying closeness, ever since. They didn’t agree on everything, …
NaNoWriMo 2010
Extract #1 The sky was dark. The sky was always dark, to some degree, but this time it was darker than usual. The clouds had returned, thicker and lower than they had previously. They’d come in from the south east, gathering above and seemingly lowering as they combined. They came in so slowly that nobody noticed the change, and besides, the darkness against the dark sky was hardly perceptible at the best of times. Nobody could remember when the sky …
Super Meat Boy (360)
I’ve been waiting for this for ages, and if it wasn’t for New Vegas I’d have pounced on it the second it appeared on XBLA. As it is, I decided to play it last night instead of roam the Wasteland some more. In theory, it is fantastic. The graphic style is lovely, the funny touches (like the skit of the Street Fighter II opening sequence), and the blood OH THE GLORIOUS BLOOD everywhere are amazing. It’s a simple, difficult, precision …
Fallout: New Vegas (360)
I’d not been this excited about a game’s release since Sonic 2 for the Megadrive was announced. I’ve been looking forward to it since it was announced two years ago. I’ve had it on pre-order for months. I even broke the £20 Rule to get the Special Edition. But was it worth it? By hell, yes it was. At first glance, it seems to just been like an expansion pack for Fallout 3. It’s not, but even if it was, …
All that’s missing is Xzibit
There’s a game for iOS called Game Dev Story. It’s a game company simulation game. In it, you make games. Here, I made a Game Company Simulation Game. Then the universe imploded. Posted via email from deKay’s posterous
Let’s Play! Progress Bar Champion
Since my last release was so well received, I thought I’d update it to make it even more realistic! The new version features a more accurate progress bar, which is not only green, but also pauses randomly for a random amount of time – for no reason! Just like the real Xbox 360 progress bar! Amazing.

Fallout New Vegas: Addendum
LOOK AT THE CARDS THAT COME WITH IT JUST LOOK AT THEM! LOOK! AT! THEM! LOOK!!
Fallout New Vegas is here!
No time to write anything, but look at the GLORY that is the Collector’s Edition!
Play Progress Bar Champion!
I got so fed up with playing Progress Bar Champion on my Xbox 360, that I decided to write a version to inflict on everyone else. Have “fun”! [swfobj src=”https://lofi-gaming.org.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Progress-Bar-Champion.swf” width=”400″ height=”140″ align=”center”]
Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 (360): COMPLETED!
Shall we not even start on the “but you said”s and the “why did you”s please? Thanks. That makes it much easier, as I feel bad enough already. In between bouts of Progress Bar Champion, I actually got time to play the 360 version of Sonic 4. Shush. We agreed! Time to play – and complete it, in fact. Perhaps it is best to compare this to the iPhone version, rather than just repeat myself. Firstly, there are two different …
Mirror’s Edge (iPhone): COMPLETED!
The Rev had pointed out that this was excellent. I wasn’t so sure, since I loved the 360 version and a move to a 2D, controller-less version didn’t seem like it would work. If only he’d said “It’s like ‘Run!’, only better”, I’d have bought it like a shot. As it is, The Rev died this week. Also this week, EA had a sale on the App Store, and Mirror’s Edge was reduced to 59p, so in some strange, possibly …
