Fallout 3 DLC1 : Anchorage
Bit shit really , the quest is that you have to help these people get into an armoury by completing a computer simulation of the war of Anchorage.
So basically its like the tranquility lane bit , but this time the simulation puts you in a snowy desolate area place in the middle of a war. You get all of your weapons and items stripped for the simulation , you get a silened pistol and a sniper rifle. Its pretty much medal of honour or some shit , you have no stimpacks either , instead there are health canisters around the place that heal you.
There is NO free roaming , you go through a very set path through a cave and then along some trenches and small building and shit. There is NO level cap increase , so probably no exp for you.
uhm…. new weapons? Gauss rifle , which is a 1 shot no-kill weapon which needs to be reloaded every time. You get some power armour afterwards as well , in a shade of white this time. zzzzzz.
The final boss is easily killed by a speech thingy , which was somewhat of an anticlimax.
Thats about all i have to say i guess , feels like some sort of generic WW2 shooter with VATS included.
Completed in an hour according to Xfire, probably hour and a half or something.
If you’re on PC i guess its worth getting , just because it’l be free , if you’re on a 360 avoid this shit like the plague – worst 800 points you’ll ever spend probably.
No commentsTimewasting in lectures.
So recently my artistic side has been itching to come out , probably due to reading lots of http://www.mspaintadventures.com
Anywho , nowadays when i have a boringass lecture i usually draw (or try to draw.)
Here are some drawings i did today , going from worst to best. (imo)
^ was supposed to sort of be like this bitch from ‘Soul eater’
AND THE FINAL MOST AMAZING ONE….
No commentsThe great escape
So today was pretty fun ,bit of universe at war in the morning, stirfry lunch with prawns , went out swimming…
Ended up (after doing a good few lengths) playing tag , then stuck in the mud (tag , but if you’re tagged you have to stay still and someone has to swim between your legs to be freed – also apparently called ‘My dear brother saved me’ in lithuania according to our resident lithuanian expert Aggie) for about an hour or so.
After being nakkered out , went back to my room to finish this weeks lab report [[[ This experiment looks into the double reaction of Phosphoenol pyruvate to pyruvate and then the reaction of Pyruvate to Lactate (with the transferral of hydrogen from NADH to Lactate).]]] and then some general goofing around.
Eventually there was poker in the common room , shortly followed by hide and seek around cryfield (no peoples rooms no outside)… this was shortly followed by…
Manhunt
Probably the most insane game to be played in cryfield , ever.
The jist of the game is Tag with a jail area , you get tagged , you go to jail.
The jail is the common room , you sit on a chair , etc.
If you are ‘free’ you may tag people in the jail area and they are free as well.
There are 2 ‘hunters’ , one usually guards base to prevent people from being set free.
Free people may also hide from the hunters and such.
What makes this game insane in cryfield is that
1. the halls are about 2 ft wide
2. Lots and lots of staircases make for ambushes and crazy escapes
3. 4 floors
4. the common room makes for the most amazing Jail area ever.
Red areas at the top are curtains , ideal for hiding and then tagging people in the jail when the ‘guard’ isnt looking.
The square in the middle is a random brick wall. not sure why thats there.
The doors around the common room all have small windows , allowing you to look in before running into a guard.
Because there is usually a guard hanging around watching over everyone in jail , tictacs are usually employed , waiting at the bottom peering through the door occasionally is a good idea , as you can always leg it up the stairs if you are seen , alternatively…
Rush all openings with people , downside is that this requires alot of people to pull off…
Alternatively, one person is sacrifice , runs from bottom door straight out right door to lure the hunters after him , savior then comes in and saves everyone. etc etc.
The wall in the middle also makes for funny sneak tactics , at one point when i was last one , was chased from the 2nd floor by duncan , down a corridor , mirror’s edge’d through a door , down 2 flights of stairs , speedy opening of door , ran down that corridor , came out from the right entrance to jail , practically dived into the jail whilst tagging everyone i could see.
It was fucking amazing. Although i did slip once and end up grinding the carpet and then rugby shoulder tackling a doorframe , which wasnt particuarly fun. Mum (Elaine) patched me up afterwards though.

Funny , looks smaller in the picture. It has some puss coming out of it now , didnt think grinding carpet could do so much damage – testament of how cheap the carpet in the halls are clearly.
Edit: I only JUST found out that i was apparently bleeding from my other elbow , AND my shoulder (from rugby tackle into the doorframe) , i must have been trying to escape pretty fucking fast.
No commentsM&M’s
Bedside drawer always houses all of my sweets , lets see whats in there shall we
Is it wrong to organize your M&M’s into primary colours and non primary colours?
At least im not duncan , we went swimming today and he HAD to find a locker number that was a prime number (in the 400′s range too)
ps. 2 M&M bags for £2.50 , i took pretty much all of the peanut M&M’s that were left , i had to dig right down to the bottom for them.
No commentsMischeif.
So tom left his keys in my room today. Not to be one to turn down a good photoshop opportunity…
Locked his door and….
Then hid his keys…
He’s walked past it once already XD
Also , ians work in progress on duncans door…
update: finished…
2 commentsBoringass lecturer is BORING MY ASS OFF.
Fucking damn that was a boring lecture.
At least i stayed awake through it all though – at the expense of some pen ink.
Eversion
Bit of a late post and im sure some of you will have already discovered and tried this game out , but just in case…
Kinda like mario or something , but with a twist.
Play through until at least the 5th level before dismissing it as awful.
Steak dinner!
Oh yeah.
The pictures make my plate look so small mind you. This steak is about the length of my face.
Approx cost of meal , £4 + 50p + 50p + 10p = £5.10
Not bad for a giant steak dinner with chips and corncob.
