Mapp vs Guild Wars 2: Going Back
It's a miracle my aged computer can run Guild Wars 2 and, fortunately for both me and my creaky old desktop PC, it still looks reasonably pretty with the settings turned way, way, way down. Sure, the frame-rate drops down to the single digits in the busiest of cities, but that's a price I'm willing to pay if it means scratching that MMO itch ( Read more... ) -

Mapp vs Crusader Kings 2: Socotra
Socotra is one of the newly playable places in Crusader Kings 2 after the glorious map expansion as part of their latest piece of downloadable content. I'm not usually a fan of DLC, but the larger ones for Crusader Kings 2 are weighty enough that they would probably have been called "expansions" if this was the 1990s. The other reason I don't mind ( Read more... ) -

Mapp vs Mapp: Winning
This is mostly for my own benefit. I'm trying to write honestly about things. If my life was a book, this'd be tagged for spoilers.
( And it'll probably be a bit uncomfortable. And rambling. Wow. Such ramble. ) -
Mapp vs The Daily Stuff
I've got an interview for an IT Technician job at Sugru on Thursday morning. Hopefully it'll go well and, while it's just a part time position, I've got my fingers crossed that it might lead on to something else. Either way, it's a good sign. If I get the job, well, the landlord said we were allowed to keep a pet in the flat, so I'm kind of ( Read more... ) -
Mapp vs Random Bits
I swear I was going to do something productive today, but then Piipshow happened. It's a bird feeder with a camera, which is nice, but the bird feeder is made up to look like a bird-scale coffee bar. Apparently, next month, they'll have some nesting boxes dressed up as little houses. -
Mapp vs An Aside
I also played some SpeedRunners yesterday with people I don't know, which was exciting. The new level editor for the game means there's a lot more stuff available. On the plus side, this means that there are new levels to try and master. On the down side, some of the levels are absolutely awful, either in a cripplingly dull way or an ( Read more... ) -
Mapp vs Gaming Waffle: Dota 2 & What Being Part Of A Team Possibly Means
Usual Disclaimer: Still alive, etc. etc. On with the waffle.
( Turns out this is quite long and should be behind a cut. ) -
Mapp vs Mapp, Round XVII: Electric Boogaloo
I'll open with the usual disclaimer: still not dead, etc. etc.I had a fairly long entry planned out in my head and, every time I start to write things down, I usually close down my browser and find something else to do. I'm usually pretty good at finding something to distract myself with. Recently, my usual methods for trying to take my mind off ( Read more... )
