Hopes for Battlefield 3

So far, from what I have seen of this game, I am very impressed by how this game is shaping up. The 12 minute gameplay video released not that long a go (found at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zw8SmsovJc ) is definitely one that caught my eye. So much so that I really hope I have the money to afford a new high-end PC by the time this game officially comes out (November 2011). Having played the original Battlefield games (1942 etc.) on computer and having very fond memories of them, I really feel this is a series of video game that is best suited to the computer, rather than the console.

The Call of Duty series has become very predictable and generic. I still think that the overall gameplay and multiplayer experience are good and Zombies is always there for an occasional laugh. However, the rush to get a game out every year with the COD series has meant, in my view, the quality suffering (hence with all the problems Black-Ops has had and the multiple of patches being released since its launch). I think that I will definitely be purchasing Battlefield 3 and probably won't be getting the next COD game, purely just for a change and to try a game that appears to have been a lot better made.

A pizza made of win

Image
A heart attack waiting to happen I just thought that this fine specimen of a pizza deserved some recognition. Including double pepperoni, jalopenos, roquito sweet chilli peppers, some tandoori chicken and not to forget some ham and meatballs too, this bad boy certainly could win some pizza awards. For this I say god bless you Dominos Pizza Southampton, god bless you (and your voucher codes that make your pricing slightly more reasonable). Disclaimer: many pigs were harmed in the making of this pizza.

Why on earth do shockingly bad songs make people rich?

I point to: Rebecca Black - Friday ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2LRROpph0 ) as my prime example of this happening. I don't blame her for this, who wouldn't give it a go knowing how many things easily become viral on the internet? My main struggle is I just can't understand how something that is so barren of any lyrical depth or imagination can become a 25,000,000+ viewed video, plus be selling by the bucket load on iTunes? I genuinely think anyone with a few quid spare and a decent know-how of some sort of music recording technology can make a terrible yet 'catchy' song and become an overnight 'musical' sensation, setting themselves up financially for a good many years (or for life) if they go market it sensibly. This is very sad, considering that the parodies of these songs usually are more creative and deserve more credit than the original song! This may just sound like I am jealous, which is wide off the mark, I just can't fathom the logic of pe...

Comet Ison

Image
December is always an awesome month (for obvious reasons). However the first 17 days are going to especially interesting if a tail does form from Comet Ison. If this does happen it will visible to most of the northern hemisphere, especially at night. Truly a once in a life time occurrence if you consider the chances of detecting a comet that also has an orbit that takes it through the Sun's corona. However, it is not certain that we will have the outcome we all hope for and it may explode during its passage, meaning no tail across the sky. I for one though will be keeping an eye on the unfolding events. If you are interested in this further, give the following article a read  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25052236 . If you've got a spare hour to kill, I recommend watching this episode of Horizon  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03k3881 . Some of what we are trying to achieve in Space is incredible. It's just scary that we have barely even scratched th...
