While typing in stutters, peering through a fog of an Albert Steptoe bad back, as if hit with a cricket bat, and appreciating sleep through its absence, I feel compelled to look forward to little things. Today’s little thing could be good, could be bad, but, at the least, will be interesting. Which is something. At 9pm PST The Path is released. Brought into the world by Tale of Tales, creators of The Graveyard – a game that consists of walking a geriatric old dear to a bench, listening to ambience on the way, sitting her down, listening to a contemplative song, and then walking her out. Sometimes she dies, and you have to press Alt-F4 to exit. Lol.

Possibly. You have to burn the rope.
I’m having problems keeping this blog updated. Partly a bad back, and partly paranoia brought on by watching things like the X-Factor. Some people are rubbish, and horribly, they’re totally unaware of it. What they hear and see is different. Consequently it’s possible that anything I blog could be rubbish, and I wouldn’t (couldn’t?) be aware of it. A feeling that given the same cultural input as loads of other people, everything I’ve got to say is a cliché, even before I’ve said it. And therefore the best thing most people, myself included, can do is not input data into the internet because we’re not individuals, just clichés. Pollution for search engines. The verbal equivalent of a high sulphur coal power station.

On the other hand I’m hardly auditioning to be pope, and the above is filled with more self obsession than your average Morrisey fan. So fuck it.
Best video games of 2008
Mass Effect (PC version)
An RPG meets feature film. A good time killer. Cheaper than a feature film, lasts longer.
Far Cry 2 (PC version)
A first person shooter set in a fictional war torn African state in which you hunt down an arms dealer, and complete sub quests. Great graphics if your computer is up to it.
Fallout 3 (PC version)
Didn’t dig the voice acting, combat is kind of repetitive, but then it wasn’t much different in the first two. Bethesda manage to keep the look and feel of Fallout 1 & 2 despite using a totally different engine. It’s called Fallout 3 and rightly so.
Tank Universal (PC)
Great independent game. Very cheap, runs on modest computers, and it’s got Tron inspired tanks.
Worst video game of 2008
Spore (PC version)
A load of bollocks. For me it crashed too often, was too repetitive, and the appeal of designing creatures wore off pretty quickly. Excellent design interface. It’s not evolution though.
Take those reviews. Fact is, I haven’t played every computer game of 2008, so it’s a just list of the best games of 2008 selected from a set of games I’ve played, ordered on their merits according to me. So it could be a load of bollocks. I wouldn’t know. Thing is; I reckon every single “best of X” list is exactly the same.

If you take this blog too seriously you’re an idiot. In this blog I write stuff, post photos, and MP3s made by me.
