It’s been some time since the last time I left any deposit of worth upon the Internet. Remember, to build up momentum to write something profound, entertaining or perhaps useful to certain folks takes immense creativity. Recently, my creativity has failed me, thus leading to the point of thinking “Why bother?”

I tried a long time ago to be profound and indeed creative, thinking about why certain things are the way they are, but this was in different times, away from London, where if you let it, the anger builds up until you end up with the title sequences of Macgyver.

You need a break from the cold harsh world that we live in, and as I made an effort to leave the confines of the bat cave that is my hotel room / studio flat / set for a crap BBC 3 sitcom, to head over to the London Comic Con over at the court of Earl, perhaps it’s time to enlighten what occured in a comical, yet highly disjointed manner.

Now considering the rash of geeky, spotty filled posts spread very thin upon thy site, this is potentially the post which signals the Hughes train has derailed off the track of life with all souls lost in a fireball of woe and the government inquiry ruled “Never mind…. Pot of Jam?”

However, not being one to shy away from the sick freak that I have become, or Golem to those in the know, why not force your minds into a coma with some lovely wee-coloured pictures of the day?

Good question. I mean, since the last update playing Monkey Island, this place has seen better days. I have been twittering a bit more and indeed my blogging absence has been sensed by the odd New Zoolander here and there. It also appears that as far as being a geek goes, I’ve gone off the deep end, hell even Stevie Wonder can see blogging about a Twitter client for that crack cocaine known as WOW and then making sure the video to Monkey Island is here, is about as entertaining as seeing if gravity has taken the day off when you fall off a cliff.

Well good people, in recent times, I spend so much time in front of the screen, pushing various buttons to make things work and in all honesty I was stepping away from the keyboard out of hours quite a bit, and I’ve been away where possible too.

Had been to Manchester for our good friend Tebbutt’s birthday thing, (in the meantime, just annoying them by butchering a few songs, he’s in a band you see) and the Sunday there was so relaxing and actually productive in a completly different way, different to the general malise I’ve come to embrace while here in sunny London. Shame it didn’t last longer, but as we all know from a certain TV show; All good things must come to an end.

Please leave a message after the beep….

Beep.

Ok, so it’s not a good explaination as to why I’ve yet again not been around this past week or so, I would love to fall back on the tried and tested work excuse which actually normally accounts for 99% of why I’m never around that much, however, Thursday Night, this is the reason why:

Yep, the return of Monkey Island to our computers and consoles after far too long was far too much to resist, and well it’s not a bad go at it to be fair.

The story is certainly an interesting one and there is more than enough to keep us guessing for the time being, which itself is going to be torture as there are 4 more parts to be released over the next few months. Arrrr ya saucy barnacles for making us wait!

When they come out with this….you need to walk away….seriously.

Basically soon you will be able to do everything within World of Warcraft, it won’t be long before we just have a lead from our brains into it, and WOW through add-ons shall sustain our existance, though really I can only imagine people croaking “kill….me….” after 6 or 7 hours. Suddenly my knowledge of Office 2007 deployment doesn’t look as bad.

Well it’s been a fun filled week, mostly as it goes watching various naughty on the telly, which is not something I do often as much as most people like to watch Big Bother with the best of the nation’s retards dribbling over the camera when the magic voice tells them to set each other on fire, and that doesn’t sit well with me for the most part. Mind you, if they actually did set each other on fire, that would be worthwhile.

Last weekend, while the Micheal Jackson funfare was rumbling on, washing away most of the other news at the same time, Glastonbury was on down in sunny/rainy Somerset (weather dependent on what time of day it was) with various things on the telly showing a number of quality acts and some which are about as entertaining as me playing the theme to Doctor Who with my belly button while a dog does the high notes.

However, one of the highlights was 100%, the BBC 6 webcam coverage when Adam and Joe was actually on. Not often I say this, but they basically showed what TV was missing since their last stints.
