Website Housekeeping

toxic — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 13:14:34 +0000

It sounds odd, but I really enjoy it! Running a website, you need to pay attention to the little things, check that any links are still working and up to date, and making sure that stuff like the static pages aren’t out-dated.

Today I updated the About Me page, the About Random Fury! page (both minor [...]

Bubble-heads unite!

toxic — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 15:46:59 +0000

There I was, playing Halo 3, waiting for Matchmaking to do it’s stuff, as you do. The teams popped up, and whose was the first name I noticed, directly above mine on the blue team? Blimey, it’s only GRcade moderator The Alchemist “Tiarny” Penguin. I fired off a quick “hi lol” message to him just [...]

I’m playing Pokémon on my PSP

toxic — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 11:54:39 +0000

On the left is the original Pikachu graphic. On the right is the Pikachu graphic from Leaf Green on the Game Boy Advance - and how I saw it in my mind back when I was playing Blue on the Game Boy!

This week I finally got around to enabling homebrew on my PSP. It [...]

Always late to the party

toxic — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 10:31:02 +0000

This week I signed up to Twitter (about a year and a half after everyone else in the entire fucking world, but there you go). It’s been great so far, and thanks to me being quite selective about who I follow, it’s not been entirely full of inane, pointless chatter. Initially I signed up in [...]

I’m going to write about True Achievements again

My updated Trophy Case, with my highest rated and most satisfying Achievements

Here’s that URL again.

http://www.trueachievements.com/

Now, along with some other guys on RF, I had set myself a Gamerscore target (get from 38,000 to 50,000) for 2010. What I didn’t realise at the time was that you could actually set yourself goals on TrueAchievements! I [...]

E3 vs Lost – FIGHT!

toxic — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:27:27 +0000

Yesterday I posted links to two different subjects on GRcade, just to get a little traffic boost. One link was about E3, the other about Lost.

I was very surprised when I came on and saw that even though E3 is current and Lost finished ages ago, Lost came out on top with 29 hits. E3 [...]

Halo: Reach Countdown

Countdown to NEW Street Fighter / NEW Halo

toxic — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 11:35:45 +0000

It’ll be a busy week – Apparently there’s an election on soon too. Although why would I want a countdown to that?

New forum style – re-done!

toxic — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 16:58:23 +0000

So yeah, it’s been changed twice in less than a week now. The prosilverSE style wasn’t suitable, so we went with something a bit more like the old style in terms of layout. Overall, it’s much better, and apart from the code behind the banner being much stranger than I’m used to (and thus proving [...]

Cowboy boots

toxic — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 19:37:07 +0000

This week I have been mostly writing about Halo 2 and doing up the forum. It’s been a mixed bag in terms of feedback on it – some like the bold new colours, some prefer the muted tones of yesterday. You can’t please all of the people all of the time though. It’ll work out [...]

New forum style – done!

toxic — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:55:30 +0000

It didn’t take too long from me deciding enough was enough and it had to be changed to it being pretty much finished. As much as I love Mike Lothar’s phpBB2 styles, they just weren’t cutting it in phpBB3. Optimization was an issue, and we were missing out on a load of features that the [...]

Goodbye Halo 2

toxic — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 14:11:35 +0000

Dawn Of The Dead - Halo 2 style

Last night was the last time Halo 2 will ever be playable over Xbox Live. Personally, I didn’t attend (I got rid of Halo 2 ages ago – I never envisioned a time when we’d play it again), but I have spent the time being devoted to [...]

Karen Gillan is a popular search term then

toxic — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 16:59:05 +0000

Thanks crazy barefooted guy from this post! You secured me a couple of foot fetish “barefoot” searches. It was also pretty fortuitous that I smoke, as the word “cigarette” secured me some fag fetish clicks. I must also thank the guy or gal who clicked through because of the “lol cat doomsday” search, if only [...]

True Achievements is a great website

toxic — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 10:33:40 +0000

My Trophy Case, full of some of my favourite or most memorable Achivements

Being well into my Gamerscore, I love it!

Basically, they were annoyed that there are certain disparages within the Gamerscore points system (some easy Achievements in easy games award the same amount of points as hard Achievements in hard games), so they [...]

Currently ranked 13th in the World

toxic — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:19:47 +0000

Oh wow, would you look at that. We’re the 13th best source for LOLcats on the internet!

Not bad considering all I do is copy and paste my weekly favourite from icanhazcheesburger.
