Excellent guild run in Shadow labs on Tuesday night! Four clothies, one resto shaman, 7 mob pulls = Great Fun! 
Had a really easy run all the way through using one lock as a tank and a LOT of AoE!
No deaths till the corridor leading to Murmur where we wiped hard due to a large pull but as you can see in the vid, Murmur had his way with us front and back, although to be fair, everyone was experiencing huuuge lag. I was getting 2 second delay from hitting a key and the spell going off, and from what he was saying our resto shaman was getting worse delays than that! Amazing that he kept us all up through the instance to be honest, hats off to you Daneel!
Re-watching it that first wipe on Murmur was caused by me no doubt
I’d been told to, back off when he puts the curse on you but with the lag and the excitement I didn’t even notice I’d been hit with it till a 4/6k hit wiped me in one shot and the lock next to me in one go so apologies for that guys..
I wasn’t much use on that boss at all.. by the time my lag caught up and my cast bar started going I’d been knocked down, or cursed, or had to run from a sonic boom, or hit with a knock-back or pull. Never seemed to end. I’m told he’s an easy last boss which I can quite believe.. shame we were let down by lag in the end really but still a lot of fun.

I also downloaded Stranglehold from MP to have a blast on.
More or less what I expected, Max Payne with a kick. There’s a lot of action, some cool gunfights.. you can tell John Woo is attached to this.
The graphics are not that outstanding, but they really don’t need to be. The action is frantic enough that your always looking for the next interactive object to shoot, table to slide across, or bad guy to plant a slug in.
The one complaint I have is some of the areas you fight in are crowded to say the least. I found some areas I could not move without starting the bullet time animation when sliding over tables. Yeah it looks cool, but I don’t want to do it every 5 steps in an area.
Saying that, when it works its a LOT of fun. Running up and down bannister’s shooting neon lights so they fall on bad guys for extra style points has something to it. I did find myself more and more trying to utilise the scenery in my gunfights as it looks cooler and scores higher. I can see me getting quite obsessive over this on release

I downloaded the Bioshock demo from marketplace yesterday. My XBox may not read disks but it still works for downloaded demos thankfully.
Had to have a go on it before I sent the box back for repair and man am I glad I did. I already had my eye on this title but didn’t know too much about it, the 15 min demo told me everything I need to know. That I have to buy it!
Absolutely oozing with atmosphere, amazing opening sequence, refreshing level design with an art deco feel to it all, slick graphics, and a smooth control system to boot. Really impressed with the little I played of this demo, cant wait to get my teeth into the full game. I’ll try and get a video up in the next few days of the demo from start to finish.
Its a shame my box will probably still be away for repair for the release of this game, same for Skate too which just eats me up inside.
Must ring XBox customer support again today and sort it out! I cannot go without playing these games for nigh on a month!

It took a LOT of questing, and a 300g loan from a generous guildie, but I finally got the cash together for my regular flying mount

Very smooth guild run in Sethekk halls last week. Still no tank, still no hinderance
Main healer was clued up to the last boss encounter so went pretty easy
thanks to his explanation and someones (might have been mine) addon announcing when to move behind the pillars.

Thankfully the Halo 3 Beta lets you save the last match played as a sort of video file to HD or I’d have lost this lucky frag forever.
