 Soul Calibur 4 |

I got this out on Monday morning from Lovefilm, and I've been playing it a lot over the past week or so.
It's a great fighting game, one which I've enjoyed playing a lot, so I think I'll keep a hold of it until pay day and give it a purchase.
Still getting to grips with the various fighters, and haven't even tried half of them all yet. And then there's the Character Creation section, which lets you either modify an existing character, or better still, create one from scratch using the fighting style of one of the established roster of SC fighters.
Oddly, as no doubt you've seen, there are a trio of Star Wars characters in the mix as well. 360 gets Yoda, PS3 gets Vader and both versions get the Apprentice, from Force Unleashed. Yoda's not bad to fight with, but both he and the Apprentice are fairly cheap to fight with and against.
So far I'm utilising Mitsurugi's fighting style quite a bit, as it combines power and speed, but there are sometimes I wish there was a character you could just go batshit with attacks with, like in the good old SF2T days

Trust me, I cannot wait until you lot get to play this. It's so much fun!
Not serious at all like previous BF games, it's a laugh a minute pissabout with random strangers.
With this and Quake Live coming out soon, my online FPS tastes will be fully catered for - for free!

Thought it was about time for the usual yearly style change, so I've gone for a lighter look this time.
Hope you like it!
And if you spot any thing out of place or odd looking, then let me know

Q3 Config Generator gets to 60k! |

Sometime later today or early tomorrow will see the 60,000th visitor to the Q3 Config Generator since it's inception in August 2001.
Doesn't sound like an awful lot in that timespan, but I'm quietly proud that this simple tool I created nearly 7 years ago while trying to learn some basics of PHP coding has since helped that many Q3 gamers.
It has links in the official Urban Terror online manual, the new Quake Live beta forums, and if you Google for "Quake 3 config" it's the #1 result in all of Google!
At least I managed to do something useful in my 12 years online

 Slight backtrack... |

You may have noticed some errors on the site today (if you were here earlier) as my webhost has been tinkering with security settings, which should hopefull be sorted now
Anyhoo, as far as Ubuntu is concerned, I've got it running in Virtualbox under WinXP, and tbh it runs better there than it does natively - it runs fullscreen with XP behind it and you'd never know the difference until you shut down
Ok, so there's no fancy graphics effects on the desktop, but the sound works perfectly in all apps and there are no problems with drivers causing the monitor to blink on and off incessantly - which I have concluded is an Nvidia driver issue. It never happens in XP, and the vesa drivers usable in linux don't show up the same problem, so it must be a bug in the drivers from Nvidia for Linux and Vista...
