15 Months Later
Right, so er.. this is the relaunch. Well, I haven’t updated the theme yet, but that’s because there are no good themes on the internet. So we’ll call that a work in progress. I had completely forgotten about this blog until recently, when my most recent post randomly got posted onto my Twitter 15 months late. So here I am again, welcoming the crude, fad-obsessed world of Web 2.0 with open arms and a cold stare. Welcome back, I suppose.
I might as well start with what has happened to me recently. It was my birthday (twice), I bought a piano, and this morning I had a bit of a cough. Oh, and some games came out, so let’s get them out of the way.
- Forza Motorsport 3
Groin-grabbingly superb racer, and the first in my opinion to take the throne from under the comfortable arse of Polyphony’s Gran Turismo.
- Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
I haven’t played it too much yet, but it’s already hooked me more than the first, especially with the cinematics.
- FIFA 10
Still better than Pro Evo.
- World of Goo
I know this is actually quite old (almost a year in fact), but I’ve only just started playing it, and I thought it deserved a mention. This is the best puzzler since Portal, and proof if any was needed that you don’t need to be PopCap to create the most bloody addicting piece of software the drones of this earth have ever seen. Honestly, if 2D Boy produced even 2 games as insanely gripping as World of Goo, they could enslave humanity by level 12.
Anyway, I’ll probably talk about some of those in depth at a later date. I’m hoping to keep up with this blog more than last time, when I treated it like a beaten wife who turns out to be a total bitch (show her love and caring, but try and keep your distance). So expect updates every 5 seconds for the next 2 days, and hopefully daily thereafter. So here’s a couple of subjects I may or may not breach in the coming weeks: apartheid and why it’s sexist, Mr Whippy vs. Mr Softee: the taste test, and when it’s rude/acceptable/necessary to use red biro.
