The one with Halo Wars

I love the Halo series! And Halo 3 was a pants removing moment. Even my Dad is a fan of the Halo series and is pretty decent on Halo 2. And now we have Halo wars. I hate the RTS style of game. I hate Command and Conquer and all those similar to it. I just never liked the genre. Too awkward for my liking. Too many controls, too many options. Build this to get that and then build an extension to get a level 93 power up or some shit. 

Personally, I wasn't holding up much hope for Halo Wars, given I'm not a fan of that style of game. I popped it into the 360 and had a lash of the tutorials, which are very straight forward. Within in 10 minutes I was calling in Spartans to thunder around the place and kick Covenant ass! I was building bases. Driving warthogs over the enemies skulls. The game doesn't feel cumbersome to an RTS hater like me. Its instant pick up and kick ass. Coupled with great cut scenes and some great levels which have a vast array of things going on. Vast battlefields, from cities to snowy mountains, theres a lot in here. In particular I really loved one of the earlier levels where its set in a city and you have to escort civilians to waiting shuttles. And done even get my going on the multiplayer, its pure madness. Brilliant in every sense of the word!

I guess, for me its like how much I hate gherkins. But put some gherkins on a Big Mac and I'll eat em with much love and attention. So; for me Halo Wars is like a Big Mac, and I seriously enjoy a Big Mac! Check this out!!! 9/10

The one with a star

People were wondering about a star in the sky last night. Cheers to Colin for the pic and in the info.

Venus is unusually bright last (and this) year. Venus is also called Evening Star and Morning Star, because for part of the night it disappears behind the horizon, and then reappears before dawn.
You see it way better in the country side.

hope this helps,
Colin

Hold down the breakfast, lunch and dinner!

The one with Wall Street Fighter!

Very cool!

The one with Slobs

One of the topics on the show last night was, "Are all men slobs?". Plenty of ladies proclaiming that; yes, men are slobs. Plenty of men calling in saying they're not slobs, but after describing their living conditions, some sounded like they lived in slob caves. One female caller, told of a house in the midlands where a group of male slobs reside. Every Sunday, they kick out all the females they've kidnapped or convinced to come home with them, and then kick off naked Sunday! Naked Sunday, where they lie around, naked watching football. Rarrrrrr!

Are men slobs? The question that should be asked is, are slobs men? I wonder about the mindset of the men out there who go through the same pair of jocks for 4-5 days on the trot. Shit encrusted, fart stained, piss smelling jocks. Do some of these knuckle draggers actually think this is cool. It must be a great mood setter, when they manage to get find someone to yank off their jocks. Jesus, I feel sorry for the prostitutes.  We're all guilty of the pile's of clothes. At times, I wish I could ring Pat Falvey for advice on how to climb up the mountain of them that reside next to my bed.

Are the ladies slobs? Of course not! They don't fart! They change their jocks everyday And when it comes to number 2's, they shit out rose petals! If you believe that, you'll believe that some of the bankers out there are really nice, trustworthy people, who probably spend their weekends helping out the homeless and working in orphanages. On a final note, lets just say I know someone, who many, many moons ago ended up with a lady. When her underwear was removed, according to a friend, a skid mark that wouldn't look out of place in a racetrack was visible. Apparently, this skid mark was almost a foot long. But that was back in the time when Velociraptors roamed Patrick St, killing innocent revellers. Things have changed now! In particular the jocks..I hope!

Ooooppsss, I just farted. Typical man savage!

The one with Sue McGarvie
