Mass Effect 2 – Some more thoughts

February 9, 2010 – 7:36 am

As I’ve mentioned in my last post I met Garrus and the conversation has been brilliant. Upon returning to the Normandy, Shepard smiled which is one of the first times Shepard has smiled all together and it was quite nice seeing it reflected what I was thinking, too. It is nice to see Garrus and [...]

Mass Effect 2 – First Impressions

February 8, 2010 – 1:19 pm

I finally started playing Mass Effect 2 Saturday evening and so far I am loving every second of it! Just over two hours in and I am in love with #masseffect2. I already don’t want it to end! So far I’ve done very little fighting and a lot of exploration. The following are some of [...]

It’s time for Mass Effect 2!

February 6, 2010 – 11:53 pm

Knights of the Old Republic is the game that got me into gaming. I remember playing it at work [in Spanish!] not understanding a word and not really knowing what was going on. All I remember is walking around in a beautiful environment talking to people and completing missions. Shortly after its release I bought [...]

Links I’ve been meaning to blog about for too long [Part 2]

January 26, 2010 – 6:18 am

Just like my previous post I’ve again reached the point where my Firefox is slowing down due to the high number of open tabs with things I’ve been meaning to blog about in ages! Most of these are gaming related this time. In no particular order: iPhone Sleep Cycle: my nights with a strange bedfellow [...]

Things I’d like to see improved in Mass Effect 2

January 23, 2010 – 11:32 pm

It’s only eight days to go until Mass Effect 2 is released and due to it including a character import I’m playing through the first one again to create the ‘perfect’ save. Ideally I want my character to be a female level 60 soldier with paragon alignment and all sidemissions [bar the planetary collection ones, [...]

Project365 week 2 – “The big freeze followed by the big thaw then some more snow followed by rain. What’s going on?”

January 14, 2010 – 3:55 pm

It’s week two of my Project365 and another week featuring mostly pictures taken in and around the flat. The few times I have left the house I didn’t come across much worth taking a picture of and twice I nearly forgot to take one alltogether which explains the pictures of whatever I was watching or [...]

On game completion

January 14, 2010 – 3:41 am

A while back I’ve had a conversation on Twitter with @PCurd and @jamesbmarshall: PCurd: @craigyd I bought Torchlight in it off your recommendation :) Also Kotor as I’ve lost my pc copy. # carocat: @PCurd KotOR again?! Aren’t your saves on the Xbox though? # PCurd: @carocat I have saves on 1.0, 360 and pc. [...]

Project365 week 1 – “Snowmageddon* is upon us and I can’t leave the house”

January 8, 2010 – 2:47 pm

It’s the first week of 2010 and it’s been snowing for most of the time which has left me unable to leave the house due to living on slopey road and appreciating both my life and intact bones! The images and additional explanations of them can also be found on cat on tumblr: #1 – [...]

Gamerpicture history

July 20, 2009 – 3:53 am

I have been on the internet for about thirteen years now and quite early on I’ve realised the importance to ‘managing’ my online identity and keeping it in sync and recognisable. Googling ‘carocat’ in most cases leads to an online profile of me somewhere and I tend to use the same avatar in most places [...]

Fable 2 or how Google’s my friend..

June 23, 2009 – 12:50 am

I’ve finally been playing Fable 2 in the last few days and whilst I haven’t yet made up my mind if I like it, I did giggle at my Google search history earlier. This is a set of questions I had when I was playing it on Sunday and wasn’t quite in the mood for [...]

Community, what are you doing?

May 6, 2009 – 2:34 pm

Believe it or not, but I’m a very peace loving person and detest arguments and drama. Some have called me passive aggressive, but that’s a different thing! Over the past years I’ve seen a lot of internet drama which, seeing everything on the internet always has to be so goddamn serious, has destroyed entire sites [...]

This dream I had that turned out to be true. Well, kinda..

April 25, 2009 – 3:24 pm

It’s being said that we dream every time we’re asleep and just don’t always remember them when we wake up. I can count all the dreams I’ve had in the past year on one hand and they were all pretty strange with people that I know in different roles and situations acting completely atypical. I [...]

Video Game soundtracks

March 24, 2009 – 11:12 pm

JPLS’ post on his favourite game music got me thinking on what my favourite gaming soundtracks are and why. Game music is an integral part of the game playing experience so it’s hardly surprising that most of the game music I own is from my favourite games and it’s also probably not very susprising that [...]

Have I mentioned just how awesome the folks at 360Junkies.com are?

March 20, 2009 – 11:37 am

No? Well, it’s about time I did then! Back in February I saw the following tweet from Haymaker360j: The next person who signs up on 360 junkies and DMs me that they did will recieve a copy of F.E.A.R. 1 and 2 courtesy of me and the junkies staff Of course I did sign up [...]

Some more links in the Killerspiele debate

March 19, 2009 – 3:30 pm

After my other post looking into the debate to ban or restrict access to video games in Germany I’ve come across some more links that delve more into the topic, as well as some studies. Some are in German, so please use a translator. Der Markt verlangt nach Sensation [Zeit.de] – It appears that I’m [...]
