When we last left our hapless hero he was besieged by the problems of too many games to play with too little time to both play them and blog about them. A knife edge cliffhanger if ever there was one, surely one day it'll form part of an exciting box set.

So what I have I been doing instead of blogging about games? Well playing them mostly. Diminishing that momentous pile and overcoming all odds only to find there is still an f-tonne of games to play. Still progress is key however incremental. Thus far its been a high ratio of quality to bullshit which is always good when you are force-feeding your brain entertainment.

Let's see. There was BioShock Infinite. That was good. Infamous 2. Also good. Uncharted 3. You get one guess on that one. Zone of the Enders HD and its sequel. Less good. Spelunky. Infuriating but good. Beyond Good and Evil HD. Over-rated and intermittently good. Currently I am progressing through The Last of Us, just your average masterpiece. Possibly good, definitely great.

All games, all the time. Also TV. Also books. Also work and sometimes life. Somewhere down that list comes the blog rising from the cold ashes like a fiery phoenix bird of some description. Possibly a phoenix. Anyway the long and short of it is I'm going to blog on a regular basis again. Huzzah! Probably won't be a daily update, at least not for now but it'll be somewhere between daily and never. Let's set the bar reassuringly low and say a couple of times a week at least. More thoughts incoming shortly.

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.

a crowbar of inspiration

Better late than this. Flying starts? Hate them. If this blog could be conceived of as a train of thought then it derailed somewhere between fuck and fuck all. Inappropriate metaphor there, the train. It implies forward motion, a ceaseless drive for perpetual progress at the behest of a cerebral surge towards wisdom, reason and shit. But this? Less a train more a train crash of thought really, a car wreck of ideas, a bungalow of deceit, a tenuous metaphor of metaphors etcetera etcetera. So I failed to press play in my brain more often these past few months, my bad. Various events conspired to mercifully keep me from your screen but staying entirely, dubiously, suspiciously yet convincingly on-topic I'll stick to what I know best...

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.
