Re: Pretty much the only FPS I've played
Lots of games have a story, some excellent, some silly, some pointless.
But I like a good story in a game.

In the loop: how Halo defined a new decade of first-person shooters
Tuesday 6th November 2012 15:19 GMT 
Controls
Well the multiplayer I normally use has good controls, controller in each hand, point and shoot with right, control the character left. So I can move similar to a traditional controller, but aiming, I have to place the cross hairs over the other person, and pull the trigger. No aim assist, no springing to centre, just hold it stable and shoot them!
Artificial sway is silly and gets on my nerves.

FPS
I missed the early console FPSs as I didn't know much about them. And I didn't think about getting one until the children were old enough for a PS2, my game on that was GT4.
I have played Valve and Id ones on the PC.
I have never played a Halo game, I was going to get a PC one but Game didn't know what to recommend. I think it is the only Xbox exclusive I would be bothered about playing, but not spending a fortune for one series when I have a huge backlog anyway.
You are right it did define the Microsoft console.
From playing other FPS on console I will say I prefer mouse for aiming over a stick, I bought one of the Halo killers for PS2 recently and the controls were not good, the recent PS3 HD version is a lot better. But FPS are usually mouse territory, but keyboard is clunky.

Search engines all failing
OR rather than AND - that really annoys me.
I run greasemonkey scripts to keep private with google. I also use yahoo and a couple of the older search engines. I don't use the German tin plate toy search engine.
But search engines in general are not as good as they used to be.

I've played 4 of those
Wolf3D was fun back when it was current.
Crysis is the most recent I have played of that list and it is OK, a bit so so I think. I have has far more fun with other FPS games, in fact I would put Crysis qhite low for fun.
Currently I am playing the original Half Life on the PC. And a converted to PS3 with trophies PS2 game. As well as my normal multiplayer game.

Re: and 1/100th of the size/quality.
Well boys would want something more interesting when on a long trip, or early evening when the TV is in use, or I am on the PS3. Or on holiday before bed.
Five minute games, they do not interest me either, I want to either sit in front of the TV, or a PC, not a touch screen phone.
Last portable game I played myself was Killzone Liberation, quite fun, 5 minutes or so a level, not a long time, same device was a godsend when I was in hospital last year with Motorstorm Arctic Edge.
My mobile is OK as a camera, but I would not fancy playing a game on it, even though it is a touchscreen smart phone.

Re: World beating
If digital is worse why was digital TV better at picture than analogue.
I did the head to head quite a few years ago. TV was widescreen and IDTV.
BBC1 on 1 was clear, detailed, looked like a DVD.
BBC1 on 91 was noisy, not widescreen, even with edge enhancement lowered it looked poorer.
Definately not as good now as when it was first introduced, when they still used bit rates at DVD level.

Re: Washing machines
It was the drum bearing, went up a LOT so they stopped making them.
But since they cost a lot people do not like to throw them away.
Ours is getting F13 but the water still gets hot, then spin is OK.
I think we will be taking up the M-I-L offer of a new washing machine, but what do we get?

Re: unwashably clogged
I removed the yellow plastic things filter, it was totally clogged and was not cleaning very well.
It does mean I have to clean the other filters more, but I will stick a new one in sometime.
Stripping the cyclone down every couple of years and airlining it clean helps a lot too.
Our other vacuum cleaner has a bag, never replaced, as it is rarely used dry.
Vax 4000 we use it 90% as a carpet washer, 9% drain unblocker, 1% I could not find the DC02. Also the only vacuum cleaner we have had which needed a holiday in a repair place (pump went).
Dyson products are interesting technically, he makes good use of engineering plastics.

Re: Bah!
Ours is fine too, just needs a new foam filter base
So far I have had to strip and clean the cyclone once in all the time we had it, why we got it is funny.
My wife wanted a Dyson we had a DC02 (I think, now in garage, power head worn out, but fine for car), her mum bought a purple newer model, but it gave her back ache as the metal pipe was too short. So she bought something else and my wife grabbed the Dyson.
My wife then extended the metal pipe and it was fine.
We still use it.
3 Dyson products, support can be good, but as before the washing machine is on borrowed time.
I am disappointed with Bosch, they are good enough to do this them selves, why espionage?

DIY LPG
I followed COP II, I had it inspected afterwards. It passed.
I have seen very poor professional installs, including routing wiring next to exhaust components.
The you must have a professional install for LPG is rubbish, it is not that difficult, if you can do serious car maintenance you can do it.
Seven years on a DIY install still working, I am happy. I took my time and did it properly, no running wiring under the car, I took it through the insides, I managed to very carefully route the piping and tuck it out of the way.
I know of quite a few DIY installs and they are all a lot better sorted than a lot of professional installs.
A lot of professional installs do not even remove the inlet manifold to drill it, so any swarf that drops in goes in the engine.
Sorry with LPG I am getting it done properly, by me.
