Conscious that I haven’t posted anything of late. It’s because life is totally ships biscuits. Same shit.
Think of my job as an unruly T-Rex which without warning, has golluped a hitherto fundamental-to-my-happiness shaped slab of social life and me time. That’s not so good, hey? Hopefully though, only to produce enough of a cash-shaped jobby in the near future to pay off my dealers and maybe take my mum on a Proper Holiday that doesn’t involve eating whelks at Broughty Ferry. So there is a pay-off, so to speak. It’s not just a job Jilly, say theywhoknowstuff. It’s an OPPORTUNITY. But as anyone who’s ever had one of those knows, opportunities are baws fun when its warm outside and there are people wearing sunglasses and you can see them frolicking in the reflection of your computer monitor. So at the moment things are very samey, but i’m getting to see some amazing things. The game we’re working on is beginning to look insanely sexy. The project i’ve been involved with lately has required a good amount of cross-referencing, which has meant some serious time driving around and looking at things. Amazing to see it all evolve. The great thing is that it’s so, so different from the last game in the series, both in look and feel. The level of detail involved, so meticulous and minute that it actually begins to feel real. It’s beautiful. It’s another world. And you get to fuck people up.
Some unrelated linkage:
Are we all agreed that this is vile?
About to be the largest conglomerate sale (in value) of modern art, ever. Including the amazing Nympheas – Part of Monet’s Waterlilies series, not seen by the public for eighty years. Bids starting at ten million. Really expected to go for nearer thirty though.

I find the London 2012 logo baffling. They seem to have gone for some sort of early MTV deal, which may be sickeningly ugly, but is at least contemporary, I guess? All neon garishness and ‘Nu Rave’(BLEURGH) London zeitgeist fadballs. But, like, I assume that come 2012, lazy 80s/early 90s throwbackery will not be the ‘in’ thing, will it? WILL IT?
I mean, we’ll be ass-deep in POST-APOCALYPSE. It’ll all be about camouflage, then.
Like the late 90s.
