T-103 Radio?

Ok, i’m thinking of going into radio production for the site I have already got one show ready so if you could can you listen to it and give me some feedback about it, you know, what you thought of the show, what could be improved, if you even like the idea of me starting an online radio station. The first radio is avaliable at the downloads section.

Aminal Cwossing??

My sister, at Christmas received a Nintendo DS Lite and a peculiar game called Animal Crossing. You are a human that has moved into this weird town populated by animals of all shapes and sizes. You can fish, catch bugs re-style your home or wardrobe. Interacting with the locals proves to be a truly odd experience, as you go around answering their utterly random questions which have no relevence to anything ever.

You can either go aroung being nice and cheerly by attending local events buying presents for your friends and neighbors or irritate thye hell out of everyone and everything by offering to deliver a present to someone for another NPC (Non-Player-Character) and then you turn the corner and openit yourself and then sell it at the local store for a few extra monies.

There is plenty to do in this game so you will never be bored of it. I guarantee that something is always happening.

IL 2 Sturmovik 1946

I have recently bought the new fligt sim IL2 Sturmovik 1946 (a.k.a ‘IL2 Sturmovik COmplete Edition’ in America and other countries). It comes on DVD format and also includes a bonus DVD which you can play on any coventional DVD player (you don’t have to run it off your PC) which has on it behind-the-scenes footage of the game being created, ‘Making of videos’, an Exclusive video of the up-coming expansion ‘Storm of War Battle of Britain’, a detailed 450 page long PDF file of all of the aircraft schematics on the game including tips on ‘how to fly’ it also contains two videos of aerobatic displays from virtual teams using IL2 Sturmovik 1946.

The game DVD doesn’t have just one game for your £40, oh no, it contains seven, thats right SEVEN whole games: IL2 sturmovik, Il2 sturmovik Forgotten Battles, Il2 Sturmovik Ace Expansion Pack, Pacific Fighters, Pe2 (never released), Sturmoviks over Manchuria (never before released) and 1946 (also never released). So in fairness you are getting a lot for your money.

In this game you can fly 32 new planes ontop of the original planes from the original game which brings the total to near enough 300 planes (all have been remodeled, baisically graphics = sweet ) There are over 1,000 painschemes, 100 new ground objects and nearly 200 new campaign missions.

Now everyone who knows me, knows how much I love flight simming and they also know that my all-time favorite war-flight sim has been the Combat Flight Simulator series made by Microsoft who have been making flight sims for longer than they have been making their OS, (Operating System for all you n00bs out there). They also know that I once tried an Il2 game and hated it because of shoddy graphics and gameplay and the fact that for the game to run at a decent speed i.e 20 f.p.s. you needed a computer that won’t even exist by 2020. But when I saw this game I thought ‘What the hell, i’ll give the IL2 series another blast’. When I got home I eagerly installed it, (the installation time is approximately 30-45 minutes, mind you you are installing seven games at once), and to my surprise the game runs smoother than a ice cube sliding on snake oil, even on my shoddy PC and my god did I enjoy playing the campaigns!

However every blue sky has a sodding black cloud somewhere and that black cloud happens to be the multiplayer bit… YOU CAN’T FIND ANY BLOODY SERVERS!!!!! This is all due to some dope-head who has magically ballsed-up the server-findy-magig. So I shall have to labouriously send you the download for the duberry-whatsit.

Apart from that little rant, this game is awesome I give it a 9 and a half out of a possible 10.

For the Record

First and foremost. I am sorry for not updating my blog in a few weeks as some problems occured and that prevented me from updating as much as I could have done. I would also like to say Happy new year to each and every one of you and I hope that you all had a great christmas. So updates will happen very soon.

I an starting up a reviews page; if I have played a game or watched a movie of read a book then I shall review it to the best of my abilities. The ‘multi-media pastures’ that I said I’m moving into have been put on a temporary haiatus as I need a new Joystick. (FYI: A Joystick is a type of game controller not what you are thinking of you sick people)

I will also start a For The REcord page where I will post General Ignorance style nuggets of information. Pretty much everything you think you know is wrong and these pages will make you feel very small and silly.
