swallow wrote a new blog post: Suggestions for a Comfortable Post-Apocalyptia
There’s a lot of baseless media generated hysteria around nowadays. The sane people of the world will take it with a pinch of salt and move on to lead their normal dull little lives. The paranoid and delusional classes of society will instead feel compelled to feed of…

swallow wrote a new blog post: Pets are Good
I’m housing sitting while my folks are away and there are a few pros and cons. Cons include the horrible commute every day, but they’re really outweighed by the pros of not having to pay rent and looking after the bestest doggy in the whole world.
The bestest doggy in the whole world has made me [...] -

You guys suck. That is all.

Great review, though from the looks of it I’m disappointed with what’s on offer after all the great marketing.

swallow wrote a new blog post: Delayed Gratification
The reason that a lot of people are drawn to games is the sense of instant gratification. There is a link between cause and effect which just doesn’t occur as naturally in real life. You work on something, and it improves – simple as. Your sim might constantly be trying to screw you over by…

The whole ship and resources part of ME2 is reminds me a bit of Star Control II.

swallow commented on the blog post Overdoing It: Boobies!
I don’t speak for everyone, but I don’t think that women are as thrilled about male full-front nudity than men are about tits and ass.
I like realism in games and film, so it’s not really an issue for me. I think the sort of “girl gamers” that Ashely mentions that would be offended wouldn’t… -
swallow wrote a new blog post: Learning from RPGs
So I’ve been out of commission for a little bit. I’ve taken to heart the idea from Gamer Limit that what I should be doing other than gaming is to live out in real life game aspirations. Instead of wallowing in my own crapulence I’ll take active steps to make things happen.
Who doesn’t want to… -
swallow wrote a new blog post: Racing Games and Real Life Don’t Mix – Part 2
The Need for Speed series, especially the Hot Pursuit variations is my favourite racing franchise. What set it apart from the other racing games out there, unlike Gran Turismo which I never really got into, were the car chases with the cops. There’s just [...]

For some reason I took offence to Curtis saying that I rode to work on a kangaroo. I don’t know if it was because I was truly and deeply offended at the idea of using kangaroos as a mode of transport, or because I [...]

swallow commented on the blog post Gamer Limit DLC Review: Return to Ostagar
I was surprised, and not in a good way. Wow, cutscenes of every already shown cutscene of Cailin. I was also hoping to go to the army camp, because it always looked quite pretty in the background but there was no chance of that.
I reckon the other two DLC’s were better… -
swallow wrote a new blog post: Emotionally Retarded
So it’s a Thursday night and I’m feeling sorry for myself. I was meeting friends for lunch too far away from the office in high heels so now I have blisters on both my feet. It was also ridiculously hot outside so I’m also nursing a headache. I was supposed to be getting a few [...]

swallow commented on the blog post Return to Ostagar now available on Xbox Live
I think it’s out on PC now as well… As it’s going to be disgustingly hot over the weekend I might consider giving this a go.

swallow commented on the blog post New Final Fantasy XIII trailer impresses with great voice work
It’s so over the top and melodramatic – in a good way. Gah, that FF hair is annoying, especially when they make them such weird shapes that they don’t animate that well. Anyway, I always look forward to an FF game just to tune out and not think for a…

swallow wrote a new blog post: Best Actor Cameos In Games
Simon’s Retro Reunion made me think back to all those great games with actual actors in them doing some of their most mediocre work – many of whom look like they don’t really want to be there (Mark Hamill case in point).
It’s now becoming something of a trend and not so much a career killer… -
swallow wrote a new blog post: 10 Things I Should Be Doing Other Than Gaming
Hello Gamer Limit!
I stumbled across this little website during the Christmas break while I was bored at work. I was in the process of organising some sort of chair race since all the managers were away, but I gave up when I realised it was more effort than it was…
