My 360 broke, and I don’t really feel angry about it. If anything, I’m a little annoyed that they force you to book your repair online and then BLAMMO! “WE ONLY ACCEPT SWITCH AND MASTERCARD!” - but that just puts them in a group that includes the likes of CCP and Mythic that for some reason don’t like any kind of money, only the kind of money that costs us, the initial paymenters, more.
To be honest my 360’s been on it’s last legs for about a year now, freezing here - stuttering there, I always knew that I’d have to get it sent away again. As long as the hard drive remains in my possession (and not in theirs, on it’s way to the eternal formatters) the console’s soul and the save games upon it remain intact. I really have a glut of things to play right now, 2/3 of which remain outside the 360’s range of exclusivity, and I think that’s part of my current sanity, as opposed to in.
The weekend was surprisingly productive from a gaming standpoint, thanks in whole to the flat’s internet connection. I played a satisfying chunk of WoW, putting Rin up about another level. I think I’ll be passing on the guild creation for the moment, thanks to an invitation to a Guild already 150-men strong. Plus I know the Guild Leader, as it is in-part my ‘fault’ that he is now teh hardcorez.
I also played a little TF2. I never really got into it to begin with because my hardware at the time had a hard time with it - lagging and crashing like a motherfucker. But the new Nintop, Tensa Nintop, plays it with beyond ease - which ups the enjoyment by like a billion points. I think I’ll be playing more along the course of the next while, especially if they are adding a double-dose of upgraded classes - sniper and spy. I’ve only been playing the Heavy, Medic and Pyro up until now - simply because there are unlockables available to them. I must disclose whole-heartedly that I did use one of the “Achievement Box” levels to gain two of the pyro’s unlockables - which I see now that it isn’t the best way to do it. I did it in the first place because the barrier seems too high for a person with a hundred other games to play, but I didn’t learn anything from the experience, and I suppose that’s the real reward of the trials.
The rest of the weekend, I ate the food of the City, I bought some issues of Fables and the Matrix Trilogy on DVD, I managed to grab a copy of Uncharted that magically, though gift cards and loyalty points only cost me 95p. I saw Star Trek again and still love the shit out of it, and I saw Angels and Demons and didn’t like it as much the first one, not to say that is wasnt good, but it was ok.
This should be watched, as it is further proof that not only should Valve make a TF2 animated series, but that they know what they are doing. Gentlemen.
I don’t really have anything else to say, other than I really should make some E3 predictions before they stop being predictions and become either true or false.

I think it’s all down to my lack of other-nerdly-contact. I have seen fucking No-one the past couple of months, which just goes to show. Mad props to my Fundee Homeboys, who I actually have been in semi-contact with. Just goes to show how fucking dead this town is I suppose.And that’s basically it.
