Lost Planet Target Mark Locations – Easy
Feb 26th
In February 2007 I decided to attempt to obtain possibly the most challenging Achievement put into an Xbox 360 game to-date; Master Pioneer. To aid me I created these guides by pulling together two of the best Target Mark guides previously available. Target mark location descriptions originally written by Matt ‘nofxgamer’ Biro; images taken from… More ...
Championship Manager: My Story
Apr 27th
I’ve been playing Championship Manager, in one form or another, for over a decade now. I bought my first copy of CM back in 1993, Championship Manager ’93 for my Commodore Amiga 600. Each and every season I went down to Computer World to spend £9.99 on the latest data update and took it home… More ...

Started Half-Life:… More ...

Unreal Tournament Tournament
Jun 30th
Went to the Hursley Network Gaming Event; knocked out in the first round of the Unreal Tournament tournament, but won a few of the single matches. Dropped round Paul’s house on the way back (and a very nice house it is too), met Shelly & had a few beers with Paul before heading back home.… More ...
It Comes Soon Enough
Jun 10th
I never think of the future, it comes soon enough. – Albert Einstein, 1930 Recorded my entire Radiohead catalogue into mp3 to burn onto a single cd, unfortunately at 160 kbps they won’t all fit on a single CD so I have to redo the lot at a lower bit rate tomorrow. On the plus… More ...
