Well I’ve played Prototype all the way through and had a brief, slightly disappointing dalliance with The Sims 3, so now I’m more or less waiting again, as far as games go. I can’t remember the long list of games I was going to post last time, but I think it included Spore, Fallout:3 and Empire:Total War, all of which were a bit meh. Call of Duty 4 was short but Sweet. I keep coming back to Europa Universalis 3 with the Magna Mundi mod, it’s extraordinarily deep and I get massive geek thrills from uniting Italy 300 years early.
In other news, I’ve been taking a royal fuckton of photos of gays and their drunken antics, such that I’ve damned myself to dozens of hours mucking around on photoshop and wrestling with the evil that is Facebook Uploader, and my friends refer to me as their paparazzi, and then complain when they find out who sweaty they get after dancing three hours straight in a basement that’s never heard of aircon. Part of me wants to take a break from that, another wants to shell out for a DSLR and do it properly.
I’ve been failing badly when it comes to live music this year, I think the only stuff I’ve seen has been accidental, and looking through people’s Glastonbury photos I’m quite jeluz. I hope working Bestival works out but having not heard anything about it for months I’m not at all hopeful. I was going to try and go to Field Day, but it clashes with Brighton Pride. And Lovebox clashes with something else. Sigh.
Started using twitter properly now. A little while back I finally knew enough people that are on it *and* (shock) USE IT to make it not a waste of time. Slightly mourning the death of flickr to facebook and the death of last.fm to spotify. Oh well. Keep on movin’.
