Halo 3Halo 3

And now for a series of exclusive previews of upcoming games. This week, Halo 3.


For the past 7 months Peter Jackson has been developing his own unique take on the Halo game world, and I had been invited to Bungee Studio’s headquarters, to have an exclusive glimpse of the games development and a chance to briefly play a completed level.

Awards and thatAwards and that

It’s awards season, so I thought it might be fun to do the Weebl Stuff Oscars. (I tried giving them a snazzier name, like Weebscars, Osc-bles, Weebl Stoscars, but as you can see, they’re all a bit rubbish). These aren’t limited to this year, but just general film things that I thought might be a bit more fun than trawling through the filmic worth-fest that takes over the cinema at this time of year.  Tonight I’m writing this in a glitzy dress , some really painful but pretty shoes, and my hair is in an up-do, just to get in the spirit. Although sadly once I’m finished I won’t be going to a snazzy celebrity post awards party, unless you count sitting on the sofa with Mr Weebl and the cat.

Here we go.

New ZealandNew Zealand

Here on Weebl's Stuff we’ve opened the door to new writing talent, and Mr Steve Adams is the first to step right though it. Some of you will have already seen this on the forums, but for those that haven’t, you’re in for a treat.  If amusing yet slightly jingo-istic travel writing isn’t your thing, look away now. Otherwise, sit back, and enjoy the tour.

No, you haven't travelled back to 1989. You have, of course, entered the country of New Zealand. It's not quite enough to strike fear into the hearts of grown men, but this innocent little country has a lot to answer for. Though many of us hadn't even heard of it until The Lord of the Rings. Well you hadn't, had you? I've recently come back from New Zealand and if you don’t mind I'd like to share my experiences and observations with you all. Let's do it!

The Joy Of Daytime TVThe Joy Of Daytime TV

Daytime tv used to be completely duff. Usually the haven of students, grannies and the unemployed, there used to be nothing on but antiques’ shows and made for tv movies called ‘Not Without My Baby’s Face’. There was always that dead time between 3 and 4pm, where the only things on were really badly animated kids ‘learning’ tv shows. Teaching kids through the art of puppets that aren’t Big Bird or Grover is never going to work. Ever. Unless it’s Tellytubbies.

So how do you sort out the quagmire that is daytime tv? Well, most of my days are spent trawling through hours of tepid chaff, to find the real wheaty nuggets nestling in the daytime schedule. It’s genuine work, that’s what I do. So if you’ll allow me to, let me give you Darling’s guide to daytime TV. I promise it’s worth bunking work for.

On the gameOn the game

For many years now, I've held the unenviable position of being a non-gamer in a gaming house. We've got more gadgets than NASA in our front room, but they're all a bit foreign to me with their blinking and whirring. There's almost a stigma attached now, especially in a group situation, when you're the only one not 'having a bang on Wipeout'. It's like you were born without co-ordination and jelly hands that can't keep you on the track, or hold the gun, or fight the rocket launching robo-Hitler. But in life hand/eye co-ordination didn't seem to be an issue. I wasn't constantly hitting myself in the face with independently swinging monkey arms, or walking into walls. With certain games it was all fine, so what was my gaming problem?

Let's take a stroll down memory lane shall we?
