Playing With Rainbows

r6v2

I’ve been playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 loads recently. It’s a brilliant game to play with mates over Xbox Live and really encourages team tactics by giving everyone the XP earned in game.

I played the first one quite a lot online and really enjoyed it and this one is no different. Playing Terrorist Hunt with friends mostly but dabble in multiplayer matches every now and again.

So yeah if you have a 360 and haven’t got it yet, I recommend it. It’s only £9.99 over at play.com.

Bye Nvidia, Hello ATI

atiruby

Well my good old 7800GTX has lasted me a good couple of years but now with ATI offering a cheap but solid gaming solution with the HD4770 I forked out a measley £90  to get a massive performance boost in my aging PC.

Currently running it on an AMD Athlon 4000+ with 2GB of DDR2 memory, which is a bit of a bottleneck but what matters is the games and they are performing great. Certainly beats the full £500 upgrade I was looking at which I can’t really afford right now.

Oh and Ruby certainly beats the stupid fairy woman Nvidia have as their mascot.

Bit of Web Design

Two web sites I’ve worked on recently have gone live in the last month so you can check out some of my work :)

First the A2Z web site has finally been updated with a new layout I designed based on a template the boss chose. The site is using a new CMS that my department has built so I have no control on how the content looks within the layout but it handles it pretty well. I have created all the banners so far though, not 100% happy with all of them but you don’t always have the luxury of time at work.

Secondly the development team I work in tasked me with creating a site for our products brand name Medida. I designed this site from scratch everything here is my work minus some of the content that has been written to explain the products. Content is a bit sparse in some areas but overall I’m very happy with this site.
