super random joy bomb

So you probably won't get too much coherence out of me today on account of a random purchase of two highly coveted games earlier this evening. Just minding my way on the drive back home when it occurred to me I hadn't acquired said games yet so in a fit of something or other I went out and bought them. Barely been able to contain my sheer joy since. Not really containing it now to be honest, not successfully at any rate because you see dear reader I now possess these. 


My inner geek is freaking out. Wait did I say inner?
   
That would be The Bureau: XCOM Declassified and XCOM: Enemy Within. One's a prequel and the others an add-on pack to my favourite game of 2012, that'll be XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Now then, there's a game that was a hug in a mug on the cold and stormy night that is modern videogame development. But I'll save that blog entry for another day, you must excuse me now I've got overwhelming odds waiting to kick my ass all over again.

save the save game

Due to a miscalculation on my part, tonight's update will be nothing short of epic. No wait that's wrong, what I meant to say was that it'll be more short than epic. Had an evening of casual larks and drinks over Battlefield 4 last night and I've spent most of today recovering from it. The drinks that is, as opposed to the Battlefield 4.

hot screenshot action #1

Happy November all! It's that special time of year where everything gets cold, sparkly and barren. Crispy leaves on the ground, a bite in the air and a wellspring of reflection as the year comes to a close. Naturally my thoughts turn to my year in gaming and soon there will be my third annual retrospective of everything I've played this year. I know, I know you're excited dear conception of a reader but for now I feel like sharing a screenshot or three from a game I played a few months ago but haven't really talked about around these here parts. 

kung fu disco

Walking through a mausoleum of tat (or shopping centre) the other day I recoiled in horror as I came face to face with a life-sized, life-like cardboard cut-out of a standard issue Hollywood celebrity. You know the type, it looks almost human, with a face and everything. I'd say it almost looked like the real thing but it seemed far more authentic, more true to life than any so-called human seen on-screen. You see them all the time, in their blockbusters and their rom-coms, but they never look so full of life as when you see them in two dimensions or less.
