FOREWORD: I’ve been meaning to write about this for quite some time, and only got the motivation to do it today. Here goes.
Paid DLC. Some people don’t have a problem with it at all, and buy it up by the boat-load. I do, and I’ve pretty much boycotted it since the whole idea came about with my 360 nearly 2 years ago. What annoys me is that, in today’s day and age, companies feel the need to hike the price up on the actual retail product in the first place with content that, honestly, should have been on the disc / download in the first place. Piracy isn’t an excuse for this (DRM is another issue I’ll moan about at a later date).
I mean, look at it.
That’s far, far better from the old one. The old UI did it’s job but you always had a dry dick afterward. Now you can do the job AND have wet pants when you’re done.
Don’t have it yet? Go get it, tiger. Have some more screenies to masturbate over while you wait:
luaduck.co.uk is now using DISQUS for comments (all previous comments have been preserved, don’t worry!). If you aren’t already using DISQUS, you’ve got 4 options for posting:
Any way works, and it’ll get a comment straight onto the site. The other benefit is that I don’t have to manually approve each comment, it’s all hooked in much better to Akismet.
Have fun!
P.S: I’ll make a blog post about the LAN I went to in a few days.

So I’ve had my falcon for a couple of days now, probably enough to make a review.
The Falcon is a Haptic-Feedback device designed to replace the mouse in gameplay (the idea being that you can feel your games). The control scheme can be a little wierd at times (you use the central area for precise aiming, and the edges to pan around like a joystick) but you get used to it after about ~15h playtime.
To be honest? I love the thing. You’re going to get dreadful KD ratios for the first few hours, but you’ll gradually improve as time goes on.
The Falcon retails for $199 (plus P&P + customs), but you can get a falcon with 20% off (ex. P&P + customs) with the code featured at the top of the homepage!
The bundle includes:
· 1 Standard Novint Falcon Grip
· 1 Pistol Grip
· 1 USB cable
· The Orange Box Game Key (downloadable from Steam)
· Newton’s Monkey Business™ Game Pack
· Feelin’ It™: Sports Pack Game Pack

· Free downloads for drivers (full game required) for Quake 4, Quake Wars, FEAR, FEAR Combat, Crysis, Prey, and DOOM 3
· 1 Power Supply

First off, happy christmas to all. My personal list this year:
Quite a lot has changed since I last made a proper blog post. First of all, because weekly updates were getting pretty much out of control, tweet digests are now disabled, but you can still keep up-to-date with it on the widget to your right. If you want more updates than that, go follow me: http://twitter.com/luaduck
Second, I’ve been getting trackbacks quite a lot recently – the main one has been braden.black’s blog where I get lovingly mentioned. Thanks, braden!
Lastly, I’ve banned about 500 attempted spammers over the last 2 months, and they were all caught by akismet (so if you think about spamming, think again) – however, akismet has also been spam queuing legit users. If you need unblocking, throw an email my way.
Thanks!
