Playing Catch Up

Grand Theft Auto IV has been out for a while now. Everyone seems to have played it: gushing its praise, marvelling over its achievement or, in the case of a select few whiners, moaning about how it fails to expand the formula of the last game (perhaps through adding 45 minute long cut scenes, as MGS4 is credited with doing).

Wisely, I was banned from buying the game until the end of my GCSEs - logic reared its ugly head again as my mum pointed out that I wouldn't get any revision done with a whole city open to me and my trusty lust for chaos.

But now that the GCSEs are eighty minutes away from conclusion, GTA IV is, as I type, soaring across the country in the noble scarlet van of Royal Mail, borne aloft like a king upon his litter. Soon it shall lie, gleaming smarmily, in my grubby paws, and I'll finally be able to experience the "game of the decade".

This blog shall be record of my journey. Prepare for numerous GTA IV posts in the future...

More Bloggedy Goodness.

As the saying goes: "Two's company, but three's a crowd."

And so we look on with disgust as Francis ruins the company by setting up his own lacklustre blog to swell the already corpulent blogging sphere to dangerously obese levels. If you have contempt for your own self-esteem, you can view Francis's balance-disrupting skulduggery here. There are now three blogs to feast upon, so you no longer have any excuse to have a life beyond the internet.

Gobble gobble gobble.

A Haiku for Monday:

Monkey in a tree
Tree tree tree
It falls out


Of course, I'm aware that it isn't actually a haiku in terms of structure or actual meaning, but sometimes you've got to take the bad with the good. The good being the fact that the above 'haiku' freakin' rocks.

It's Comic Sunday!

Revision + lack of inspiration = funny comics from websites being posted in a feeble attempt to maintain the flow of the blog. Here's another two classics which I discovered somewhere in the dank depths on Year 10 ICT lessons:


Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic
Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

Unfortunately this second one is cut off when posted, but just click on it to enjoy the inappropriate hilarity!

This comic made me laugh for a solid minute.
