Welcome to DK one I'm a sick boy. No really, I am. You see I haven't been taking my vitamins like a good little boy so my body has decided to rebel. I have a nasty cold, raspy cough and a bloody headache. The latter is probably due more to Unreal Tournament than my cold however. You see JP figured it would be a good idea to set up a UT clan and I stupidly agreed. So while I am technically supposed to be in bed counting the spiders on my ceiling, I am in fact fragging 'ol JP and Orgasmo's ass on UT with the music a tad too loud and yelling "Take that you son of a.." while dodging the occasional redeemer. Don't get me wrong I am not a die-hard gamer. In fact I am far from it. If you've read my article on misplaced effort you will know that I'll do everything else before doing what needs to be done. This includes playing games. I have an ever-growing pile that I keep saying I'll get around to playing but never do. I just get greedy, order whatever looks tasty and then never play it. Why? No idea really because if I got as far as installing half of my games I know you'll never get me off them. It's just the way I am. So as I was saying, JP twisted my arm into a game of UT a few weeks back. I think he said something about kicking my ass. A challenge is a challenge. The gauntlet was laid down and.. well ok I needed the practice. So here I am a week later kicking his ass (sometimes) and Orgasmo's (every 0.2 seconds) and enjoying it so much that 2 hours later after the game is over I realise that I am starving! Must eat now! I haven't eaten in ages or coughed (remember the cold). UT a cure for illness? Maybe not. So while I am down in the kitchen scrounging up some grub I start to thinking that maybe I should install some of those new games of mine as I might just enjoy them. Nah. In other news that company that I nearly went to work for announces massive financial losses and a huge drop in its share price. I'm sniggering here as I remember my interviewer telling me how great the stock options are when you join. He he. After giving up chipping Playstations almost a year ago now I am amazed how many phone calls I still get asking me to chip em. Well ok, so it's just my sister but I wish she would stop. "Can you chip these new PSone's?" No I inform her. "It can't be done?". Well yes, but I can't be arsed. Sisters eh? If they are not asking you to chip Playstations, its requests to fix their friends PC's. Listen up people! A 386 is an antique! Not a PC. God. So back to that 'to do' list. I know I know the comic strip. Everyone has been waiting on it for ages and I keep delaying it but I'm never happy with it. Maybe I'll just do it. Then after you have all finished laughing at my artistic ability I'll keep a changing it until it starts to look reasonable. After all the main point is the script rather than the media. Well that's what I'm telling myself anyway. Did you catch Dark Angel recently in the UK? Wasn't it sexy? Those smooth curves, tight bends and nice headlights. I am of course talking about Jessica's modified Kawasaki Ninja motorbike rather than the lady herself. Ooer I want one. Until next week.. DK |
