Hello world,
Ok, so I’ve been really busy the last few days – been here, there and everywhere! First and foremost, attended a small get together with some friends and played Left 4 Dead 2 on the good ol’ network! That’s right, 3 x-boxs and TVs, 3 copies of L4D2 and a whole lot of pizza and garlic bread make for a bloody brilliant evening. We captured about 2-3 hours of footage whilst gaming and I’m hopefully going to go through this soon and edit it – this includes in-game footage and footage of ourselves. Once edited will most likely chuck it up on youTube or something and share it on here. But yeah, would highly recommend playing this game on a network with some friends – survivor mode is a laugh as is versus. Survivor mode is basically up to 4 players take on a mass of Zombies in a variety of different settings and scenarios
Versus on the other hand pitches two teams off against one another as they battle through the campaign; one round sees one team being the survivors and the others being the infected then they switch roles and replay the campaign. The team with the most points by the end of a complete campaign (up to 10 missions – 2 x 5) wins. Awesome fun again and would HIGHLY recommend it
Have also just discovered the delights that is Bioshock… Yes, I know, I’m massively behind the times, my bad, but when it first came out I just wasn’t in to it and thought it to be a load of bollocks. How wrong was I?! Borrowed it from a friend and have been addicted for the past 4-5 days with me passing out from sleep deprivation most mornings at 4-5amish
lol. My bad… but have now completed it on easy (played it through first to get a gist of the story blah blah blah
) and will now be re-playing it on hard and to finish off the few achievements I missed out first time round
Needless to say, cannot wait for the release of number 2 in February of next year! Should be sweet and will be pre-ordering it this time round!

Bioshock - Who's your daddy?
Moving away from games, I’m now getting really stuck in to my course now as we have begun our first two projects; a 1,500 word essay on visual culture (a load of shit in retrospects) and an interactive media project. Personally, I, along with my partner in crime, have chosen to do a flash animation / game based on the sci-fi genre and existing games such as Dead Space, Mass Effect and Fallout 3. Good times!
But yeah, am really getting in to it now and have 5 weeks to produce it; have already done a lot of our scripting, audio and character designs and I will most likely post a few examples of this over the next few days… we shall see how I’m feeling
Anyway, I think I will leave it at that for this evening – I have to be up for work in less than 5 and a half hours so probably a good idea if I disappeared!
Peace.
Chris
