Game Season Approaches
24 August 08 05:25 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
After what seems like a drought of epic proportions, the holiday releases are gradually going to thump their way out. Yay! What I'm looking forward to: Fallout 3 - once again, the Australian OFLC needs an R rating for interactive entertainment. I watched Read More...
ROCKtober approaches again
28 August 07 11:12 PM | tristank | 3 Comments   
Fans of this blog - of whom there are at least six (see mum? 100% up on last year, despite the lack of official updates) - will know that I hold a special place in my heart for October, or as the cool kids like to call it, ROCKtober. Why does October Read More...
Aussie HD-DVD add-on selling well?
16 April 07 02:10 AM | tristank | 0 Comments   
I'd heard they were out, but couldn't find one for money nor begging at the local shopping centre this weekend. This either means they're really popular, or we just sold all four we imported! Consumer: Drat. Shareholder: much rejoicing. Read More...
360 Elite, Eh?
28 March 07 05:48 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
We announced what appears to have been the world's worst-kept gaming secret! From my perspective (as an Australian owner of a White Xbox for the last year), I'm not fussed; HDMI is non-present on my current monitor, and I'm quite happy with the VGA cable. Read More...
Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows: Installation Experience
01 March 07 08:26 PM | tristank | 3 Comments   
"Experience" is a lovely word for a corporate blog. Discuss. Anyway, my experience was that it didn't work the first time round. That was at 7pm. it's now 9pm, and I've just finished my first laps around Barcelona in RFactor , using the Wireless Racing Read More...
My Weekend: Crackdown
25 February 07 11:33 PM | tristank | 6 Comments   
Gah! The whole weekend spent playing Crackdown! What has the world come to!? Crackdown does a bunch of stuff phenomenally well. I've had to think, I've had to react quickly, and in some areas I've just had to sandbag my way through. Climbing up the sides Read More...
Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver (for Windows)
22 February 07 10:04 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
It's great that it's finally out in the US... Not so good that I got back last week, dagnabbit! Now I just need to wait for Aussie availability, so I can play RFactor with Racing Wheel comfort until Forza 2 drops! Mmm. Racing wheel. Combine that with Read More...
Sick Day
12 January 07 11:10 AM | tristank | 0 Comments   
My eyes just haven't been the same since the tusk incident, and the medication seems to be making them worse. I'm typically the last person you'll see away from the office, but with eye things, it's better to not take the risk of spreading them. Still, Read More...
Xbox Live - Free Gold Weekend for Aussies
24 November 06 10:07 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
If you've got an Xbox and broadband but haven't upgraded from Silver, give it a go! It's free until 10pm Sunday. I've been playing Gears of War this week, and am *itching* to take it online, but my phone line decided to suddenly choke my ADSL connection Read More...
Games Games Games, Games Games Games, Game Game all the waaaay.
14 November 06 08:59 PM | tristank | 0 Comments   
What am I looking forward to this Christmas? Well, two have really caught my fancy: Gears of War - 23 Nov (I mean seriously, with a metascore like that , I'd need to seriously justify not buying it) Rainbow Six Vegas - 23 Nov ( metascore not there yet, Read More...
I'm going to flee, I am.

To the beach, once more. Since going on holiday a couple of hours ago, I've: - bought Civ 4 and Psychonauts from Steam (played the Psychonauts demo a while back, absolutely loved it, but didn't buy it for a reason I can't remember right now) (they're Read More...
(Unwelcome) Realism in Games
21 April 06 12:48 PM | tristank | 3 Comments   
Tycho (linked page contains harsh language) expands on something I've been unhappy about for years - my emphasis in bold: I was interested to read an interview with the man who designed Lara Croft, where he makes it clear that their Tomb Raidin' gameplay Read More...
So How's The 360?
26 March 06 11:33 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Fantastic. Incidentally - we were excited when we saw Big W had the premium pack for 628 on the launch Thursday, but Dick Smiths at Macquarie currently have the premium pack for 615 - 35 bucks off! My preorder was $650, but I got it at 20 past 12 on Thursday Read More...
Xbox 360 Night for the Aussie Contingent
22 March 06 03:42 PM | tristank | 1 Comments   
Yes, after four months of waiting, the Xbox 360 is finally going to be available. (And there was much rejoicing.) I'll be lining up to get mine tonight, playing The Setup Game (aka Cable Conundrum), and then playing a lot into the early hours of the morning, Read More...
Blog Chipolatas
04 March 06 02:02 PM | tristank | 2 Comments   
So much to do, so little time. Moving RSS out of Outlook and into RssBandit means I spend less time reading my feeds each day, but my workload is high enough that I don't usually get a chance to check it. Sigh. Anyway, rather than talk about what I've Read More...
