With the next Xbox 360 update bringing Facebook, twitter and last.fm to my favourite time sink, I thought I'd attempt to get with the times slightly. So I've signed up to twitter. I have no idea what these sites are for for the most part and tend to avoid them at all costs (she says while looking posting on a blog and scrobbling to last.fm ...) But I thought about it for at least 5 minutes and decided that if nothing else I could use it to announce when I update this site, which at least means I won't be using it frequently but maybe just enough that I can get some idea of what it's for.
So, feel free to follow me on twitter where I may or may not type messages that are only 140 characters long. I refuse to abbreviate however.
I picked up Pokemon FireRed off of play.com to keep me busy while I'm waiting for Scribblenauts UK release next month. I had forgotten how great the first gen Pokemon were. It was delivered this morning, my one day off this week from my charity work ( I know, I know) and rather than tormenting people on Red Faction: Guerrilla as I had planned I have been wasting time playing on my DS.
This might seem like a huge waste of post (like there is much difference) and you would be right, I did have something I wanted to type about but, well, I forgot it. So as a trade off while I try to remember. My current six Pokemon at the moment, I've just beaten Brock, are:
Charmander, Beedrill, Metapod, Rattata, Pidgey and Pikachu.
My Metapod -almost- managed to hurt Brocks Geodude, so in Celebration I made a picture:
Its my Metapod using Harden against a small and largely un-drawn city. scary isn't it.
I was having a chat last night while slagging off Derren Brown and came to the obvious conclusion that the world would be a better place if Paul Daniels had a position in parliament. If nothing else it would make PMQ's more fun. Can you imagine him presenting a selection of laws and legislation to the PM and asking him to pick one, any one. before pulling a slight of hand and pulling out a bouquet of flowers from somewhere. All the while Debbie McGee poses with a white rabbit filled with tax reforms.
Anyway, I think you get the point and can probably make your own fun from the idea of a magician minister, so ciao.
Edit: More spelling mistakes than words.
I picked up the Tom Clancy Endwar demo this morning from XBL Marketplace, thinking "Wow this is going to be terrible" but after spending the tutorial bit swearing at the computer lady for not understanding what i was saying and finding the campaign level short and confusing, I tried the single player skermish level, which was the same map but gave you alot more freedom and once I'd figured out what you actually had to do, I was having so much fun ordering people around. Still stopping everynow and again mind to tell the computer to "Fuck off and die" when ever it didnt understand my erms and urms. As the game was drawing to a close I was loosing as I hadn't figured out I had to capture the points untill half way through, and this new option appeared on my screen... so i pointed at the enemy and said with a slightly evil grin: "WMD target" and laughed as on my voice command half the units on the map where distroyed enemy and my own. I couldn't believe they'd listen to me and drop some huge laser thing on top of their own men.
All my laughing ended quickly however, when I realised I had yet another game I had to buy along with the rest:
Fable 2, Fallout 3, Mirror's Edge, Gears of War 2, Rockband 2 ... and now Endwar.
