the background noise

Spent most of the day getting my ass handed back to me playing XCOM: Enemy Within today so not much in the way of a blog update tonight unless you want me to repeat random profanities for the next few hundred words. Yes you wouldn't think it but I'm actually in my happy place playing this game.

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. 

Next up in the list of games everyone else played ages ago but which I've only gotten around to recently is Borderlands 2 . An off-planet off-beat space Western redneck-a-rama with shades of Mad Max thrown in because quite frankly why not?
