Have I mentioned that I am kickboxing? I never realised that it would be this much fun. All week I am hanging out for Saturday, I even train in the gym, which is not like me. I am not exactly at the stage where I can start fights at the pub, but when I am… Continue reading Jean-Claude Van Darryn

My next purchase : Battlefield 1942
I have been playing the MP Test of Battlefield 1942 and I am hooked. It is much more realistic than your Wolfenstein or DoD, or even MOHAA. Tobruk is like Tobruk. Wake Island is like Wake Island.

I told him to… Continue reading Plates of meat

Windtalkers: I suck signed John Woo

This only seemed to make him angry and also forced him to use his… Continue reading Windtalkers: I suck signed John Woo
