The Year in Blogs: 2012
Here’s a yearly round-up of all the blog posts I made through 2012! The year where I tried to turn my blog into being exclusively about James Bond!
Why I Can’t Be a Bastard in Fallout: New Vegas – 26/04
“Max Valerion” was a character I created in Fallout 3, and I took great pride in being an absolute bastard to everyone and everything in the game. When Fallout: New Vegas came about, I went to efforts to bring Max into the game. Unfortunately, the game just didn’t want to allow Max to be a bastard.
There’s No ‘I’ in ‘Team’, Except for Apple’s Marketing iTeam – 07/05
Apple products are made for preening smug pricks who like boasting about being part of the “Cult of Apple”. I go to painstaking lengths to prove my point, even dissecting ancient Apple vision videos from the 1980’s and the various Mac vs. PC adverts.
Video Game Scavenger Hunts, a.k.a the Art Director Really Wants You to Appreciate Their Hard Work – 16/05
Something a lot of modern games do is pad out their content by having hidden items scattered throughout the levels. I pick several examples and bitch about how annoying they are to obsessive PSN trophy collectors like myself.
PC Elitism – Because PC Owners Can Be Smug Pricks Too – 04/06
Having lambasted Apple users the previous month, I then turn on the PC Mother race to defend games consoles, even though PCs are clearly superior in every single aspect. This all starts with a Facebook post that annoyed me, because I’m a reactionary berk like that.
Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Goldfinger – 11/08
In the first of many posts where I sit down and laugh at films with my mates, we watch a classic Bond film. It’s the one where Bond rapes a woman in a barn. Wait, what?
Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: For Your Eyes Only – 17/08
The one where there’s lots of skiing, scuba diving and rock climbing. And a pubic mound.
Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Die Another Day – 27/08
The one where Bond takes on the Smuggest Man in the World and the power of the sun (when I posted the link to this on Facebook I wrote “This one took a little bit longer, because there’s two hours of urinating on a popular franchise using CGI. Also, Halle Berry.”).
Two Blokes and a Chick Watch: Moonraker – 31/08
The one where Bond goes to space and Jaws is awesome.
Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: From Russia With Love – 14/10
The one that’s actually a proper Cold War era spy thriller.
A Random Collection of Thoughts on Skyfall – 04/11
Having seen Skyfall at the cinema with the other two blokes and the Chick, I spend an entire blog post not being entirely sure whether I liked the film or not.
Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: A View to a Kill – 09/11
The one where Bond goes up against Christopher Walken.
Three Blokes and a Chick Watch: Casino Royale – 31/12
The one where Bond plays poker.
