standard yearly retrospective

Well I was going to do a recap of 2013 as channelled through my own peculiar mind but given work, play and a recent spike in alcohol intake that is unlikely to occur at this hour. Something for the new year perhaps when my brain is less addled and my typing fingers are more capable.

So here's 2013 expressed in its very best as a series of words that may or may not resemble the titles of games played (not necessarily released) this year. Goes something like this... Dishonored, Grand Theft Auto V, The Walking Dead, Hotline Miami, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Vanquish, Sleeping Dogs and Resogun.

Was going to pop Miley Cyrus' Spelunking Simulator 2013 in there somewhere but I have a vague intuition that it doesn't, in fact, exist. Shame that, the adventures of Miley Cyrus as she spelunks into the hearts of fans everywhere would be a treat to behold. Well folks, half expect a more substantial follow-up to this in the new year when sober minds prevail. Happy New Year in whatever shape or form it comes to you, may the ninjas of fate throw a shooting star of good fortune in your direction.

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.

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.

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.
