    Just one of those things…

    There’s really only so many responses to the line “…sodomy by rubber eggplant!”

    Now I finally get to be like Sam Spade…

    L.A. Noire has arrived and I saved at least $30! Loving that Oz Games Shop!

    Of Sheep & Babies…


    2011 - 02.12

    I was just introduced to a game for PS3 called “Catherine”. Dreams of Sheep, Killer babies, apparently mummified corpses and Women in short skirts & stockings. The Japanese really whack it all in don’t they!

    Just how many games can I fit in my cupboard? More still it seems. Part of Furbag’s xmas present for me arrived on Friday. Horus Heresy is on the table being play tested in the study at present: photos soon. Meanwhile, Dust Tactics is still to arrive, being on back order it seems.

    I purchased my first “paid” iphone application tonight: Arkham Horror Toolkit! What a surprise!

    Caught in the Blizzard…

    Yes I crumbled pathetically on my stance about Starcraft 2 not more than 2 hours into the first day on sale: in my hot little hands by 11:00 yesterday. I’m actually not sorry. Despite my protestations, I guess I knew a couple of weeks ago my staunch determination to boycott it was under strain, it took only a price of $69 to pervert me.

    Something particularly ironic that the price was such, as I’ve never known a 69 I could resist…

    I’m now the “proud” owner of a PS3…

    *sigh* blame Heavy Rain.

    The Bed’s too big without … Who?


    2010 - 07.07

    Definitely getting over the cold now, not 100%, but getting close.

    With a couple of further days off last week attempting to recover from this cold, I managed to knock off Heavy Rain. I’m strongly considering buying a second hand PS3 provided I can find one at a reasonable price just to play this game again a few more times. I actually bought a new copy for $50 from JB Hifi which has sort of committed me to this, albeit at the appropriate time designated by the Cosmos.

    The emotional reframing I’ve been working on has also been progressing well too, with a good sense of stability returning and a sense of grounding also. There’s been a few tough patches, but the last few days have unfolded much more comfortably. It’s amazing that Albert Ellis’ RE(b)T is still a useful avenue for positive change. Couple that with revisiting a bit of Psychosynthesis and the medium to long term prognosis is very good.

    Let’s just say I’m feeling up for continued diet of non committal sex, whores and assorted toys. I guess I’m just prepared to acknowledge that I occasionally feel sad about an empty bed by 07:00.

    I Finished Alan Wake last night, and have to say it was a great hoot, and interesting take on things. Can’t say I’ve ever finished a game so quick before (8 days), but I don’t feel shortchanged in any way.

    Just how A.Wake am I…


    2010 - 05.25

    Bought Alan Wake Collector’s edition last week, and loving it. It’s all I expected it to be. In less than a week I’ve plugged through five episodes. That’s fairly damn fast for me.
