A generally mixed day
I figured I’ve been doing way too much lately and my concentration has been divided between too many things, causing everything to suffer in the process. The latest casualty is my Halo skill, which has apparently vanished in the time since I’ve last played Reach online. My first match was Slayer DMRs which was one…

To M, or not to M, that is the question
The humble keyboard, a neglected accessory? We spend countless hours typing on them, yet rarely give them a second thought, often still using the free bundled keyboard (or a similar one of inferior quality).

The last day
Things have been crazy here and I haven’t been able to post up anything about the last day of gamescom. I got back from Germany on Monday night, then was at Tennent’s Vital all day yesterday so this is the first time I’ve had to write. And I’m heading to Edinburgh tomorrow! Things really are…

Gamescom…closed?
Saturday was definitely an interesting day. Not much in the way of actual gaming went on, but the games I did get to play/see were big ones. It was also my first experience of being there at the very start for the insane opening rush. We arrived at Koelnmesse over an hour before opening and…
