Rant: Bad At Bad Company Part #2
May 17th
No need for flashy graphical images or intros here. It’s time for Bad At Bad Company Part the second.
Recon: Recon is the class I most love to hate. While Recons can be just as effective in combat as everyone else and they have tools to do the job, I often find player chose not to actively involve themselves in combat. You’ll often find every single last Recon sitting on a hill somewhere trying for long range head shots. Yes the Recon has sniper rifles and yes the Recon also has a Mortar strike ability but that does not mean your entire purpose is to sit back and kill some random enemy every 5 minutes. Get out there and help the team. Despite what you may think you can and should use your sniper rifle in close range combat. Take a shot and if you miss the head shot finish the enemy off with your pistol.

Rant: Bad At Bad Company Part #1
May 12th
In this series of posts I will be detailing some of the common things I continually see every time I play Battlefield Bad Company 2. What do I mean by that? I mean the continuous amounts of failure that simply boggles my mind. This isn’t your regular Battlefield game it’s been simplified for the console crowd, it is after all the sequel to Bad Company 1 which is only available on PS3/Xbox.

My 21st Food Related Event
Mar 31st
Some may have heard about what is planned for my upcoming birthday. There will be some kind of Chinese banquette of sorts happening of which details I will be able to provide later. Food will be paid for, people should only have to think about any drinks they’d like and drinks they’d like to buy me. Location is somewhere around Ingle Farm if I recall correctly or around that general area so transit shouldn’t be an issue for anyone. This post is simply an early one to let people know ahead of time (Way ahead of time my birthday is in May). More details as they become available.
Update: I have the name and location of the restaurant at last. Get in touch via MSN or Astra for those details.

The Boredom Post
Nov 29th
Nothing much going on right now. I might vent some anger towards a recent Anno 1404 announcement when I can get my brain working. In the meantime have a random picture.
Update: I haven’t yet gotten around to playing the new Anno 1404 expansion but I may get around to it eventually. Instead of any content I’ve added another comic by H.C. Staff. Enjoy.

Independence, Satire and Press Freedom
Nov 16th
The Chaser’s Julian Morrow delivers his take on press freedom, censorship and media ownership at the annual Andrew Olle lecture.
A particularly memorable instance of this was when we found ourselves in the unique position of having a publishing deadline for a comedy newspaper on September 11, 2001. We watched the planes hitting the World Trade Centre just a few hours before the print deadline for the next edition. It was a strange night, but one that typified the way we’ve taken the old adage “tragedy plus time equals comedy” and turned it into a less universal dictum – “tragedy minus time equals Chaser”. “Centrepoint jumps two in world’s tallest building” still stands out as an all-time favourite headline of mine. But it, like many jokes I’ve been associated with, offended and appalled many.
You can read Julian’s entire speech here or watch the event on iView here (6 Days remaining as of 16/11/2009).
I’ve Got This All Wrong
Nov 15th
If all else fails assume the worst about the person you are responding to. It seems to work for these Gizmodo readers so why not everyone else? Foxtel cannot possibly hope to provide what cable companies in America offer and based on that I have absolutely zero interest in the service.
