Only a few more days to go until Game #300!
BlastTrax will be popping up in both the iOS and Android stores, alongside a cheap-ass limited demo-ish thing for Windows.
Yes, I'm doing that.
I'm pure fucking evil!!!
I've turned to the dark side!!
Gimme de Coins!!!!!
...I've written this week's newsletter whilst sitting waiting for my new PS3 to turn up. socoder.net/?topic=3615
Either of two things will occur.
1) The PS3 doesn't turn up, and the newsletter ends up as an extremely long rambling waffle.
Or
2) The PS3 turns up relatively quickly, and the newsletter is cut short.
..it's Yodel, (nnngh) and they've estimated a "by 9pm" delivery..
Gee, thanks for that!!

Remember when Microsoft made that really silly looking version of Windows that didn't actually have any windows! LOL! What on earth were they on when they came up with that one!?
And remember that time when they got banned from a benchmarking site because their clock didn't work?
LOL!
Windows 8!

Another example of Microsoft's wonderful ability to see exactly what it is the customer wants/needs, and then go in exactly the opposite direction in a vain attempt to stand out from the crowd. bit.ly/12p4RL

And what about when they launched that silly black rectangular CCTV box, and pretended it was going to have some games with it, but then the only half-interesting game in the launch line up was Peggle!
LOL!
Microsoft

; Homestar
I used to love Homestar. I even bought the game on Wii. Excellent stuff, always something new.

Last night, my sister brought home a tub of glitter, "for her nails".
Naturally, the entire house now has a fine dusting of glitter all over it. The stuff's fucking everywhere!
*sigh*
It's bad enough when there's a tiny amount of glitter on a birthday card, and that gets everywhere. You should see the state of the place.
Pretty sure my jeans are now sparkly, as the stuff's all over the couch, too.
