So, a cosy weekend there with lots of wine and homemade Italian. Tonight will be a toss-up between tackling the cascading piles of dishes or… playing new games. Which will triumph? Who can tell.
Gaming find of the week is the hyper-playable Unreal Tournament 2004, out now in demo form. This latest iteration is gameplay-focussed rather than the graphical candy boost that was ’2003. The big Halo-converging differences are the introduction of vehicles and fancy physics. Pure magic to play – the demo contains full multiplayer and AI bot action.
In other news I downloaded America’s Army – the official recruiting tool of the Shining Paladins Of Freedom and apparently a damn fine game to boot. I don’t want to like it but probably will.

Boy, things just get stranger and stranger don’t they *sits back and takes a look at the world*
I shan’t go into my week-end experiences, but things were/are pretty surreal.
Incidentally, I got two fantastic/perfect Valentines pressies…One of which was ‘Explosions in the Sky’ CD; if you lurve the ‘gwai, you’ll appreciate this sound (Paul dun gud).
And Scizzer Skisterz rule!

Homemade > italian? Like, from scratch? Whoa.
surreal weekend experiences > Mmmm….
Scissor Sisters > someone I went to school with who was far cooler than me now works for polydor. He sent me some of their stuff a while ago, and I totally loved them. Is there a song on the album about a cave resembling a large vagina? Total genius. Filthy and Gorgeous kills me every time.

Italian > And here’s me thinking you had Antonio Carluccio tendancies. Crusty bread
(I am of course, joking. I eat my dinner out of an aluminium carton 5 days a week and am thus, no one to talk. Impressed)

Well, Armando Ianucci maybe.
Saying that, survived on Domino’s overload yesterday (‘Texas’ BBQ, mm) so reheats for tea today. Yay.

Omg. Applauding your taste in delivery pizza’s. Nothing comes close to texas barbeque. Esp with that garlic dip thingy. Just no kissing afterwards, on account of vampire breath
Armando Ianucci > Haa.
