It would appear that the entire Anchorage simulation within Fallout 3 is only about 4 hours long in total. That’s not really a bad thing as such, it’s just I was hoping it might be a little bit longer. Having said that, I enjoyed it despite it not really feeling like Fallout 3 much. It was very linear, heavy on the shooting, and completely different in terms of ammo and health management. Looking forward to the other two planned extra …
Here’s a fun game we’ve been playing at work this week. Never mind Xbox 360 achievements or PS3 trophies – it’s all about getting green piecharts on Windows Services Update Server!
After a few weeks of uming and ahing about whether I wanted to buy a Tower Defence clone for my iPod, I caved in and bought it. I do have a tendency to get addicted to such games, but I didn’t think the iPod was up to it. But it is. Oh yes. The controls are a little fiddly, but aside from that it’s a perfectly capable and hugely addictive game. The basic Tower Defence unit types are swapped for …
Yes! It’s back to Fallout 3! There was a new expansion recently, called Operation Anchorage, and with Lego Indiana Jones completed, I decided to make a start on it. Once in the game, you get a message saying there’s a radio signal from the Brotherhood Outcasts, and a new marker on the map. Once there, you help them out for a bit, then you’re put in a computer simulator (like the Tranquillity Lane ones), and take part in a recreation …
And it’s all over! Today I obtained 100% completed, as well as the remaining achievements. And very good it all was too – especially for the OCD-inclined gamer.
In my quest to completely complete Lego Indiana Jones, I somehow managed to collect 11 artifact pieces on one of the levels.  Even though there are only 10. How?
The other day, with all the snow, I walked across this field. There had been snow on the ground for a full 24 or more hours, and yet somehow none of the kids who live in the estate have bothered to even walk in the snow, let alone build a snowman. Tch.
Finally! Apple have a MacBook mini! A 9-inch screened, netbook-style laptop! Perfect! OK, so they haven’t really. What I actually have here is a normally lovely-but-OS-X-less Dell Inspiron mini 9, with OS X installed on it. Leopard, in fact. It was very easy to do, as well. I just followed the instructions here.
A student came and asked me: “My teacher said she needs a pink and blue toner for her printer” “Pink and blue? Together?” “Yes” “Spots or stripes?” “I don’t know – should I go and ask?”
No, not the news readers, although they qualify anyway. No – I spotted this on the lunchtime news today:
Oh what a shame! Due to the snow, work is closed today! How awful. I’ll just have to try and entertain myself all day instead.
OK, so I haven’t 100%’d it yet. And I’ve only managed to get 17 of the 18 True Adventurer targets. Strangely, I managed all 17 first go without even trying, whereas the one I missed (“Motorcycle Escape” on Last Crusade) just seems impossible – not least because of all the rocket launcher men that appear right at the end. But I’ll keep playing – at least to get all 18, and I’ll probably go for all the parcels to post …
I was flicking through the “new music videos” section of Virgin On Demand last night, when I stumbled across this.
