So Incredibly Busy

By Ben, on March 9th, 2010%

Since submitting Oui’s application for permanent residency things have become increasingly busy in my little world and it’s moments like these in which I truly appreciate the wonderful life I’ve had for the last few years. That’s all in the past now because our departure is approaching quickly and so many things need to be . . . → Read More: So Incredibly Busy

Part of the Problem

By Ben, on March 2nd, 2010%

So I was thinking that since someone in my family is definitely going to buy Final Fantasy XIII that I can just borrow it from them to play when I’m there and buy Assassin’s Creed II now, since I won’t have a PC to play it on for a while.

I realise how ironic it . . . → Read More: Part of the Problem

Yet More Assassin’s Creed 2

By Ben, on February 23rd, 2010%

I’ve been reading a lot about how Ubisoft’s new DRM which will first be rolled out in Assassin’s Creed 2 is designed to combat piracy but I think people have it wrong.

Everyone knows that such a massive change would piss of their customers and be completely ineffective, even Ubisoft (they’ve acknowledged that it will . . . → Read More: Yet More Assassin’s Creed 2

More Assassin’s Creed 2

Generally when a PC release is delayed after a console release we’re given something extra to compensate. For Assassin’s Creed 2 we have to wait longer for DRM that noone wants which forces us to constantly be online or the game will be interrupted (and sent back to the last checkpoint). We get the two . . . → Read More: More Assassin’s Creed 2

If you hadn’t heard, Ubisoft will be releasing Assassin’s Creed 2 with restrictive DRM that will require you to be online at all times to play the game. If you go offline for whatever reason the game will pause and try to reconnect, at which time it will then send you back to your last . . . → Read More: Ubisoft DRM

I awoke to find Mass Effect 2 is ready to go this morning (and then spent the next 45 minutes decrypting). My first impressions after seeing the introduction:

The game not only looks a lot better, but also runs considerably better on PC than it’s predecessor ever did too. If you don’t already have an . . . → Read More: It’s Here!

Temptation

By Ben, on January 26th, 2010%

Now that Mass Effect 2 is out in the US the internet is being bombarded with reviews and other things that will more than likely spoil the game for me so I’m going into Mass Effect 2 blackout mode. The other part of me wants to read the reviews and be vindicated in my purchase, . . . → Read More: Temptation

Something You Probably Don’t Know

By Ben, on January 22nd, 2010%

I’ve always wanted the ability to track information about my character in WoW and the Armory has mostly served this purpose in a limited fashion. The reason is because despite the significant strides Blizzard go to to expose data it is still housed in its own little silo. The fact that the Armory is there . . . → Read More: Something You Probably Don’t Know
