Marathon Challenge: X-Box 360 Edition Pt. 2

'Lets grab some lunchies guys...'

Previously, on Marathon Challenge: X-Box 360 Edition...

After lunchies from various fast food outlets, each of them just as heart-attack inducing as the next, the tournament commenced.

Red Team - Vinny, Andrew, Pan, Joseph.

Vinny Missing...

Blue Team - Allan, Jacob, Horst, Reuben.

Allan Missing...

For a while, it was a one sided match in Red Team's favour. Blue team was uncoordinated (the individuals... mostly Jacob... not the team...) and there was always no clear plan of attack. Blue Team was obviously suffering from a lack of leadership and directive.

What started with an exasperated sigh ( due to the 10 - 0 loss at one stage), Blue Team hunkered down and began gelling together, not straying too far from each other, and actually fought like a team, exploiting Red's weaknesses. Allan (Big Black Guy) provided cover fire and flanked when the opportunity provided itself, Jacob (Goggle Dude), the hunter... did his own Lone Wolf thing, Horst (Goatee Dude) and Reuben (Bandana Dude) were on point as a mini team. This strategy worked well. Blue Team eventually evolved into a slick, organised, motley crew of killing machines, calling the Canal maps, Rooftop maps and Gridlock maps their Happy Hunting Ground. And Red pretty much just disappeared into nothingness and self imploded into their Locust skulls.

"Whatchu lookin' at huh? PUNK!!!" "RAWRRR!!!"

It was fun while it lasted guys, we came, we saw, we kicked your Red asses. I'm sorry to say, the best team eventually broke through. Yes, there were difficult times, moments where we were close to giving up, moments where we just wanted to throw our controllers at Red. But in the end, what matters is that we pull through when it counts, especially in the end. Booyah!! We make miracles happen!!

C.O.G.S for Life

L - R : Jacob aka Goggles Mc Gee, Allan aka Big Black Guy, Reuben aka Marcus Bandana, Horst aka That Guy


Remember this proud moment guys... never have we overcome such impossible odds to conquer a bunch of 'prozors'!! Mark this day in the history books, the day the C.O.G.S took back the world, and kicked Locust ASS!!!

Kimchi Dumprings!!

Food review time!!

Its pretty difficult to try to head in to this restaurant. Its the Korean restaurant (not the noodle house) on the Wind Mill Mall. I think those 2 Korean restaurants have an agreement or something. One of them specialises in rice dishes and kimchi dumplings and the other restaurant specialises in noodles (esp Cha-Jang Myun). Being so close to each other, I guess it makes sense to sell different stuff.

First time I went there was kinda by accident. Wanted something light, so a friend asked if I wanted to try kimchi dumplings. Was reluctant at first, but 'adventurous Allan' took a hold of me and we had a steaming plate of kimchi dumplings and regular dumplings in front of us. This review was done during a crave session during exam week. So Reuben and I went.

What can I say? Skip the regular dumplings and go nuts on the kimchi dumplings. They are AWESOME!!! Fresh out the steamer the skin on the dumplings have the perfect texture, slightly on the chewy side, but once u get through to the kimchi filling... PERFECTION!! For maximum enjoyment, have it fresh from the store, I've had it reheated and it just doesnt do the fresh ones any justice. These dumplings (from what I can observe) are freshly hand made every time, so they may take while to prepare. Each serving of dumplings come with servings of various pickled veg and tofu skin dishes and compliment the main dishes well. A DEFINITE MUST-HAVE!!!


Legendary...

On this occasion, Reuben chose the kimchi soup with rice dish. Apparently quite spicy but YUMZORS!!! I didnt try it so I'll take Reubens word for it.


Hot Hot Hot (Reuben's order)


Wheres my egg?? (Allan's order)


I chose a clay plate rice thingy... Rice, veg, mince meat served on a hot bowl with very hot (but yummy) korean spicy red chilli sauce. I dont quite remember being quite so satisfied with a meal before.

One complaint though, there was an egg in the picture, but no egg in the bowl that I was served... That's FALSE ADVERTISING dammit!!!

Marathon Challenge: X-Box 360 Edition Pt. 1

With our dreaded exams well and truly over, we decided to wind down and relax while we were still together. Vinnys suggestion - a Gears of War tournament at a local gamers lounge called Respawn. A bus ride and 2 road crossings later,we arrived at the lounge. Paid 30NZD for access to their System Linked X-Box 360's (1pm - 10pm) and started warming up with 3 on 3 matches before we waited for the rest to show up.

Contact!!!

The set up was super comfortable!! The System Link Suite itself featured 8 X-Box 360s all linked together, Lazy Boy chairs, HUGE AZZ Samsung flatscreens side tables for beverages and stuff. My goodness!! I swear my ass never wanted to leave those seats! The TV and the chairs were positioned so that our heads are just about the right distance from the TV, but we were reclined and essentially lying down. It was very comfortable for the 9 hours we were gaming for.


The Reclining Gamer...


Not all of us had been on an X-Box 360, let alone played Gears of War, so it was fairly new for some of us. Well... mostly me... but PHAAAAAAAARK!!! Gears of War should be renamed 'Gears of PHWOAR!!!' I was absolutely gobsmacked for the entire game with its graphics. And the gameplay reduced me to a shouting, ranting, raving lunatic, where normally, I just do my own thing and just hi five my team mates. Yes people, it's THAT good.



AHAAA!! Totally just sawed you in half you DIRTY LOCUST HORDES!!!


It's a very innovative game, with it's over the shoulder camera and the 'hide and seek' play. Never have I been able to half duck while running, roll into cover, empty a cartridge blindly, reload quickly and smart aim at my intended UGLY LOCUST HORDE targets. Its uber pretty as well, marble lights up in the sun, our power packs glow in the dark, veins pop up from Big Black Guy's arms, and you can see the scales on the Locust Horde as they chainsaw you to death. All that detail, Halo 3 aint got nothing on this!!! Truly, TRUELY, AWESOME!!!

10/10 rating for GoW from me. Stay tuned for more to come!!!

Photographer's Creed

This is my camera. There are many like it but this one is mine.My camera is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my camera is useless. Without my camera, I am useless. I must shoot my camera true. Before God I swear this creed: my camera and myself are defenders of the art of photography, we are the masters of composition, we are the saviors of memories. So be it, until there are no elusive shots left, but good, decent, photography. Amen.
