How many years to 40 now?

I've provisionally decided that next year I'm going to head over to France, and follow the Tour De France for a bit...probably a week or so. I'll pack up the motorbike, chuck a tent on there, and drive down to Folkstone.

The next game purchase I am likely to make is GW 2 but I am not convinced it's for me. Noel (office gamer chap) says it's going to change the world. I know there are some GW1 fans on here. Anyone catch the Beta? Any thoughts? Opinions? Half formed points of view welcome!

Saints Row 3 is awesome. Got it in the Steam sale and played it Co-Op with the big fella last night. It's fucking hilarious but not because it's trying to be funny, just because it is. It is because if you have a penchant for fucking about then it will help you fuck about more than any other game I know.

Logged into Google calender for the first time in a while, and the first thing I see is "TMA 04 cutoff" tomorrow...

Took me a moment to realise its the wrong colour.

Good luck with the assignment mate :)

So, I've got all these games in my Steam account that I rarely play. Or have never played. They came as bundles or got gazumped by other, flashier games. So I redownloaded a couple to play and here's what I think.

Red Faction Guerilla

Babies are annoying. Pink, fat, you stuff food in one end and wipe crap off the other. Keep it warm, fed and clean and you won't kill it. They don't do anything entertaining. Toddlers are terrifying. They get up, run around, get their hands onto everything. They're anarchists that don't have the language skills to express themselves.

So if you've been on Steam lately you'll have probably seen Pete & I on Demigod. I believe Pete has already done a blog on the gameplay in more detail so I'll be glossing over those details here. What I'm interested in is the community who play the game & how they interact with a thick skinned n00b like me.

War, what is it good for?

Super Monday Night Combat Invitational (hereafter referred to as Super MNC) is the open Beta for Uberents follow-up to the XBox Live (followed by a PC port) Monday Night Combat. The original was a game I really enjoyed, and it went down pretty well at Decembers Fishcon.
