That's a bit **** isn't it.

 

Don't play games these days apart from the odd escape game, but the last time I was really engrossed with a genuine shoot-em up it was Soldier of Fortune [still have the CD somewhere]. Let's see if I can be playing within 10 minutes too.

Oh dear. No WinRAR..! A little trip over to Old Version.com will solve that little hindrance. Still well on schedule for that 10 minutes.

 

I need to get Battlefront 2 on this laptop. Without a doubt my favourite game.

 

Downloaded, training game played, found to be awful, uninstalled and back within 20 minutes, with a glass of red in between. Notify me when Medal of Honour becomes a free download.

 

Not PC, but I'm hoping they release Jade Cocoon on the PSN. I don't even mind paying for it.

 

Used to love SoF, I think I mostly played the second one though.

On another note, I got round to playing that GeoGuessr...

I think the closest individual one was 0.002km, does that make me world champion of everything?

 

That's a shame. Did you recognise the voice of Rik Mayall doing the tutorial?

 

Can you stop posting all these time sinks until after exams. Thanks.

PS Got over 10,000 on geoguessr, it's all about the draw though, if you get China/Japan then quit.

 

Wow. Poyet also in trouble with the chairman over an email that he sent to club staff...

Biggest problem I had was on the Bulgarian/Romanian border where all the street-signs and whatnot were in Cyrillic script, but eventually I found a hotel near the border with the town name in English on it, then I just had to scroll across a couple of hundred miles of the Danube until I found it!

 

Hmm, no I didn't but now you come to mention it. Yeah, I can hear him. Sorry Joe, it didn't do it for me.

I feel I need to get my old edition of D.I.D.'s utterly superb F-22 Raptor flight simulator out, which even the last time I put it on a PC and tested it, still had me going long after I needed to. Can you believe it was written for Windows 98..? Of course, back then you had to have a state-of-the-art PC to run it, full up. Nowadays it runs like a dream, with everything up to the maximum, in the most banal of modern Windows computers, and the dynamics still give you that seat-of-the-pants feel. Someday, someone will write a whole new graphics set for that original game engine and they will have a brilliant and cheap new piece of simulation software that will be downloaded by the bucket load.

EDIT: Found this:

First time I've had a ridiculously good draw on GeoGuessr:

I wonder where this could be?

 

Hey, I've stepped up to the techno world at last. I'm currently posting on a public iPad in Minneapolis airport! Get me.

What's all this ****e about everyone leaving? I leave town for a week and the world falls apart!

 

Rock n roll with the Jerk chicken! Salt Fish and Ackee is a phenomenal dish too although I don't know how big it is in Trinidad as it is the national dish of Jamaica!

 

Just Cortese putting the wind up the Liebherrs. Which I imagine is quite unpleasant.

 

Then you come back, and everything sorts itself out. For the good of the club, never leave again!

Good luck Doncaster, I hope they win!

 

Hidden and Dangerous 1 is a free down load, its a bit dated but the missions are amazing, if anyone is into WW2 or war games in general you must try it.

Headteachers have declared 'no confidence' in the government's education policies.

 

Changing GCSE grades from A-F to 1-10 seems pointless.
