Nobody Reads This

I went from productive on Wednesday, to camping out in my room for two days with the lovely Leslie.

Highlights of the two days:

• Domino’s Pizza twice
• Lots of terrible TV
• 51st State (She hadn’t seen in)
• and much much more!

Last night my father boasted a new Mobile, and I mentioned to him that mine was a bit tattered, so if he could acquire a new cheap one, i’d be interested in it.

Instead, he gave me his near-mint 6300 that he was replacing. Its a nice phone and i’ve already piled all my old ringtone favourites, plus the Portal song and the full Hell March from Red Alert.

Happy days.

I’d quite like to go see Saw IV, and to a lesser extent ResiEvil: Extinction but I think i’ve blown any semblence of a budget I had already. So i’ll wait untill tuesday/wednesday next week instead.

PC Gamer wrote a review this month on Hellgate: London. This is a game initially I was looking forward to, but it didn’t take long for me to completely change my mind. As soon as they brought in Subscription vs Free, they had totally sold out of the Diablo-Battle.net ethos.

PC Gamer shocked me with a frontpage line reading:
“Hellgate London; More addictive than World of Warcraft.”

Now that is a fucking boast and a half! And yet, they only gave it a 73% (Compared to WoW’s 90~%+). Needless to say, Hellgate is one game i’m not jumping for joy to get. If they release a 360 version … I might dabble, but i’ve learned my lesson about dipping.

Anyway, theres now word of a 360 Port, but it is “Games for Windows” so who knows …

Ps. Topless Hellgate Woman is … impressive, but such a god awful publicity stunt.
