Damn flixter

Sunday, August 12th, 2007

I was having fun on Facebook with the Flixter Never ending movie quiz, trying to get into the top 100 list, and of course I did not want to sit there and actually answer those lame questions all day, so I got the internal frame flixter uses for the quiz and made a macro to guess the questions repetadly (only had a 20% chance of guessing right) but when guessing very fast for 16 hour shifts (while I slept and was at work) it adds up.

Only rank 999, however Flixter made a damn update a few days ago that limits the number of questions you can answer each day (or some unknown time period) :(

Flixter No more questions

So there goes my dream of excelling at the never ending movie quiz down the drain (of course I could do the quiz without cheating, but I can think of about 1000 better ways to spend my time).. Also I noted some of the questions had really weird distribution in their answers

weird flixter score

That only adds up to around 11% answers, and I saw this on many questions, including some that where so easy ANYONE would have known the answer, weird..

Anyway.. Flixter ruined everything! :D

Far Cry

After trying to do this part for like 30 times, I kinda cheated (that is I found a little tip), where you push a chair under a big door to prevent it from closing.. I could then kill the Trigens that came waiting outside the door, and still had access to a fully stocked armory :)

Getting past the 6 guards with grenade launchers was pretty easy using a few grenades, and then.. Cutscene and relax =)

I only played the game on Normal and had no problems until the end.. Damn the last level of the game is hard.. I don’t believe for a second it is possible to do the last level on the hardest difficulty and not using the “chair trick”.

The game itself is without a doubt the best FPS I’ve ever played, great story, great sound/music, and the graphics is legendary. The actual shooting part, weapons, AI, physics, are all GREAT.

Gamespot rated this game with only 9.2, but I’m going to be generous and give it a
