Not Quite Stranded

I usually play Minecraft in order to build stuff. You know, put up a castle, build a drawbridge using a crapload of pistons, fail to get the wiring right, moving on to a different project. The “different project” this time was surviving with the fewest resources in a place where I could not just go [ READ MORE ]

Linux isn’t perfect.

But then again, I never claimed it was. It’s imperfection is most apparent when trying to play Windows games, for obvious reasons: They are WINDOWS games. Duh. However, there’s been efforts to allow people to use Windows programs (and games) on Linux. These efforts are called Wine. Why am I telling you this? Because in [ READ MORE ]

Yahtzee made that joke already.

It was a boner joke. And a bad one. Poor angloaustralian bastard. Where was I? Oh, yes. New game. Good game? We’ll see[ READ MORE ]

My Boring Reviews

A thing I do is writing reviews. Never had a real reason to do it, I just did. Occasionally wrote one whenever I felt like it, but when I got here, to EFM, I took the time to write short reviews on each and every Xbox game I got. Started with a very long post [ READ MORE ]

A test run

You may have noticed that my Xbox 360 – Reviews do not always contain… valuable information for those who ponder getting the game. Thus I created a separate blog, which as of this moment is not open to the public, where I’ll properly review games. Made up a rating system and everything. So, to test [ READ MORE ]

I’m probably the last person on the planet to do this

And I won’t even write a proper introduction. This post is going to be long enough without one. In short, got a new game. Here’s your review[ READ MORE ]

A Gift

XQXM9-XCT2R-2TDGC-7TH7K-8MWP6 Here, you’re welcome. What is this? Well, the first one to enter this code at xbox.com will be blessed with a Gears of War 2 map pack – the Flashback Pack – which I can’t use because the code is invalid in Germany. I tried everything in my power, including accessing the website from [ READ MORE ]

The Chain Saw is back… with a vengeance!

Or something like that. Erp. Recently I received a parcel from Britain. Inside were two chocolate bars of a brand unavailable in Germany and, more importantly (and also unavailable in Germany), Gears of War 2. The good: Chain saw gun. Chain saw duels. One boss can only be defeated with chain saw duels! The odd: [ READ MORE ]

Sadly, every single title I could think of would be seen as a quote from Top Gun.

I haven’t even seen Top Gun. Nor do I want to. But they put this one line in the ads every time when the film is on TV. After the disaster that was Dead Space in German (I elaborated back in that review so I won’t rattle it down again), I swore to never ever [ READ MORE ]

It’s Magic! Well, not really. But you get the idea.

I did not remove any supporting structures via PhotoShop. Because I don’t have Photoshop. But that is not the point, for I haven’t used GIMP either. This is what my stack of games really looks like right now. How? The lowest one, Halo: Reach. It’s not Halo: Reach. In fact, there is no game inside [ READ MORE ]
