While the times and cocaine habits have been eating into more worthwhile pursuits like washing up, perhaps it’s best if I actually give a humble written opinion on the gaming silly season’s worth of recent releases onto the gaming platforms of recent memory.

Granted, one could argue that there are greater topics of discussion to be had, such as the fact that Climate change has basically taken a back seat to everyone’s pockets being emptied more than usual, or that AC/DC have released an album for the first time in years.

But seeing as I know very little about all that, I may as well amaze you all with my lack of knowledge in another area. Don’t be sad, there are pretty pictures with all this at least. So let’s take a look at some of these choice pieces of meat and make rude comments about people’s hard work starting with;

Fallout 3

It’s America’s favourite Nuclear holocaust simulator. And I suppose to a great extent it went down very well in other countries as well. After all, what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than blowing up Super Mutants using grenades and a handy aiming system which lets you view the resultant carnage in swirly telly vision?

(No, down the pub getting smashed doesn’t count in this case)

One wonders if Al Bundy or whatever the terrorists call themselves these days like playing this game as it’s as close as they going to get seeing the whole of Washington blown up in detail. After all, they get to set off a bomb of two in this and I guess they need to get in some practise somehow. Oh, look at me, saying this game is a training ground for Terrorists. Next thing you see is that they cry out against Microsoft Flight Simulator for teaching them how to fly aeroplanes….

You may also notice that in the meantime in-between these now sparsely populated blog pages that I have added an extra thing onto the sidebar. It’s a Twitter feed and this is the logo for it for no reason whatsoever….

Now Paul you mostly absent man of mystery I hear you cry, what is a Twitter feed?

Twitter is another one of those internet fad things which have come around, just like MySpace, Facebook and Gordon Brown. It allows you to write very little via a device of your choice and then people know what you wrote if they actually bother to follow what you are writing.

Seeing as these days, I’m rarely online enough to actually write things of interest despite the fact that everything is in full swing, it seemed like a good idea, so that some of you will still know about the lies, treachery and deceit that goes on.

The problem is I guess, is that you only get 160 characters to use when doing a post, so entire postings are impossible, and so far I’ve only been able to conjure up useless things like “I’m playing games” or “I’m being sexually assaulted.” As you can imagine, not very interesting. But hey, why be down on the system? After all if we don’t embrace these things when they come, then they will just fade away and we carry on with our lives….

(Things like this kind of make you wish you could call on dramatic music at any moment…)

Before I even get onto the point of presenting today’s video from YouTube, I have to actually make it clear that this man is a god. I have the feeling that the world would indeed be a better place, were we to have such fine outstanding men like Terry, fighting the good fight against those slackers who steal stationary.

Ladies and Gentlemen, fall silent for Terry Tate: Office Linebacker

and if that above nugget of gold wasn’t enough, there is now far more at: http://www.returnofterrytate.com/

I should also point out that if it wasn’t for Liam at the Office, I would never have known this joy. Thank you sir.

Just bless my little cotton socks, I have neglected this for quite some time haven’t I? Well I suppose it is my own silly fault, concentrating on the pitfalls of work that comes with doing Windows Server support for a living.

So where the hell have I been this time around? After all the trouble of writing that load of rubbish where all that exciting stuff happened (still wondering about that sex scene) There would have been the expectation of more award-winning material.

I should come clean right now then, which actually sounds like a dangerous thing to begin with. There was barely anything worth mentioning which has happened over the last 7 days, for example:
