the yodelling throng

We interrupt my adventures in AssCreed to talk about something else entirely. My tolerance for quasi-dream state hijinx is diminished after recent play sessions and besides something caught my eye during an earlier foray around the Twitters earlier this evening. Much to my joy and his endless, endless well of misery, the human shaped sardonic mass that is Charlie Brooker is bringing games and television together once more in a documentary of sorts.


In the infinite mass of noise that is TV he is one of the few personalities that intrigues me, humours me, makes me think that not all media personalities are vapid wastes of cell matter. Given that he seems to put more than a microsecond of thought into the sounds that come out of his face I'll give him credit for rising above the yodelling throng of televisual inanity. So this weekend I think I'll give it a watch should I be able to surgically extract myself from my new gaming console, the Sony Something or Other. Convincing non-chalance that's what that is!

More AssCreed tomorrow, probably.

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.

crossover mania

So there's this teaser site ticking away the day, hours and minutes to something almost very Fallout related. There is the collective hope that Fallout 4 is on the horizon. Will it? Can it? Be it? Having played this series since its first atmospheric outing into the future past I can say I am very happy at the prospect. Very few fictional worlds bring it together like this one does, a retro future 1950's America warped, twisted and annihilated by nuclear hellfire but still very much there when you wipe away the ashes. It's bleak, funny and demented and if there's more coming I will be very much doing my happy dance.

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.
