Origin 2: QLD seal the series

June 24th, 2009

They’ve done it. Queensland have won a HISTORIC 4 SERIES IN A ROW.

It’s never been done before. In the history of the competition. But this win is all the more sweeter because:

* 5 of the QLD team were infected with a serious gastric infection in the 24 hours preceeding the game.
…but we still won.
* Inglis (aguably Queenslands most in-form player) was on fire for the first 10 minutes and was taken out by an awful punch in the head cheap shot and didn’t come back for the rest of the game.
…but we still won.
* Bill Harrigan, the 3rd referree, did everything he possibly could do give every decision against Queensland (including a disallowed try that stunned everyone including the commentators!)
…but we still won.
* Queensland sustained multiple injuries. Hannant had to go back out on the field with his knee heavily strapped up regardless of his injury.
…but we still won.

So there can be no doubt this time. No whinging NSW supporters that they didn’t get a fair go an everything went against them. Because every decision did go their way.

And Queensland still won.

No more comment spam

My blog is getting literally hundreds of spam comments per week. I just activated a new wordpress plugin that will hopefully sort that out.

Now when leaving comments you’ll need to solve a simple sum (2+4, etc). That should sort out the bots from the peoples.

Best music in an FPS

June 13th, 2009

This article was pretty interesting. I never had an N64 but I remember playing Goldeneye at friends places (great game) and the music brought back memories.

Also agree that the music from the Call of Duty series is fantastic. The music from Gears is good too I guess but best ever? Not so sure.

Was very surprised none of the music from Halo got in the list. I’ve always found the haunting orchestral theme to be quite compelling. Although of course, there are alternate versions.
