Finished the fight

Well it wasn’t all I was hoping for.

There I was frantically battling my way through hordes of gunfire on my single player campaign, racking up Xbox gamerpoints as I went, thinking that it was all going to be worth it when I finished the final level and I’d be rewarded with 3x the points for finishing it on the Legendary setting.

But it only gave me “normal” points.  Bugger.

In case you’ve been living under a rock or the Xbox really isn’t your thing (or maybe you were one of the half a dozen people that bought a PS3) then I’m talking about Halo 3.  I waited years for this bloody thing to be released, putting off my 360 purchase until after launch.

The wait was worth it.  The game is very, very good both in single player (campaign) with a great storyline and online multiplayer where you can listen to idiotic American kids screaming at each other, exchanging torrents of “no YOU’RE gay”.

One good thing has come out of finishing Halo 3 – I get to have an early night!  At least until Call of Duty 4 is out :)

Only three homeless in Peterborough

According to the latest survey by Peterborough City Council’s Housing Options team only three homeless people were counted.

For a city that is supposed to have a population of over 160,000 I can’t help but find the survey’s findings a little hard to swallow.

The informal headcount was carried out by visiting “known hotspots” on a single night (September 11th) I’m not sure if that really qualifies as anything more than guesswork.

Maybe their definition of a homeless person is a little different to mine? On a typical night out in town you can easily count half a dozen people begging – sitting by the Hereward Cross Tesco cashpoints, on the Queensgate footbridge to the railway station and around the Market.

I wonder how Peterborough ranks against other similar sized cities and towns.
