Hiatus.

Unfortunately I've been unable to update my blog these past few days due to many, many boring reasons I shan't bore you with. Just  destabilizing governments, murdering Hitler's zombie, blah, blah, blah, that sort of thing. Anyway. I have returned. I may, or may not update the blog with a new post later on today depending on my mood and whether I'd rather just lie down and attempt to do completely nothing for a lengthy period of time.

People say that's impossible. Thinking of nothing I mean. Completely wiping your mind of thought and practically becoming brain dead. I think if there's one positive thing that Kanye West has done is proven that those people are wrong. Clearly he never fucking thinks. There's a small man inside the part of his body where a brain should be, with lots of levers and switches that control different parts of his body. Unfortunately half of these switches are broke and now the poor small brain man can only do things which people consider to be the acts of a complete tosser.

Tosser? Is that word used in America? I've always thought of the word 'Tosser' as a very British insult. Sort of like what 'Douche' is to Americans. Let me know if you use the word 'Tosser', only if your American.

Here's one of my new favourite songs to end this post with. Goodbye!

Desert Island Discs.

You're trapped on a desert island. A magical desert island with gaming consoles, computers, DVD players and TVs. You can take one of each:

- Any movie
- Any game
- Any album

What would you take, my lovely readers?

P.S. - There is no internet connection on this desert island so games such as World of Warcraft and other online games are pointless.

My picks:

Movie - Trainspotting.

Game - Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

CD - Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures.

Fallout New Vegas Review

Fallout: New Vegas is the game that many wanted Fallout 3 to be. It's harder, more ruthless, better written and more morally ambiguous. It's a game we’ve been wanting to play for more than a decade, a real modern re-imagining of the Fallout series, complete with that deliciously black humour. But it's also more of the same, aesthetically and technically identical to Fallout 3, wonky facial animation and all. The ever-so-slightly ageing technology only marginally detracts from what is otherwise an expansive, fulfilling and ambitious game, unmatched in scope and maturity. If Obsidian were to make another Fallout game, we certainly wouldn't say no.






Rating: 9/10.
