It had been almost a year before I could even play the game after my own mid-spec machine gave up the ghost on all but the lowest display settings available in Ubisoft‘s inaugural next-gen gem.

Whilst I was not a fan of the later nuke-the-nasties levels, I could not fail to appreciate the leap forward once I got FarCry running on J’s Shuttle box.

The AI was superb, the environments rich and the possibilities opened up by non-linear gameplay were especially enjoyable. Full marks to the Crytek team.

Maybe now I can use the Shuttle to get Brothers in Arms up and running too…

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion

Dopeology.org

Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.

I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
