I haven't done this in a while, and it's a shame. Must do more...

I think zombies are just about the coolest beastie to ever grace the horror scene. I even did a presentation on them at university, as part of an exercise for the lecturers to teach us about public speaking (turns out I suck, but I knew that beforehand). In it, I discussed the history of zombies in culture, from voodoo magic's supposed ability to create them through to Romero's hit-and-miss films. I went into what they...

Gordon Brown - did you vote for him? Me neither.

I'm really getting into this weblogging thing; despite the incoherence and anti-humour inherent in each post, it's very cathartic, so I'm going to keep doing it.

I'm going to get an admission out of the way first - I suck at politics. My instinctual reaction is that people should be left alone, and only be intruded upon when they do something wrong, which is occasionally branded "apathetic".

Even the ones I'm really bad at (such as driving games, and RTS) are fun, if I try to ignore my usual (and admittedly pathetic) "if I don't win, it's pointless" attitude. Obviously there are games that are better than others, some approaching genius, but there has never been a flawless game, despite what some people choose to believe.

Recently, while slightly inebriated, a group of us were discussing games, as we do every single...

Weblog post #1 of 1

I'm bored, therefore trying out this new "web log" thing that seems to be popular these days. So to be really original...

D&D 4e... it's actually not bad. The combat for fighters has progressed beyond "I hit it", and now requires tactics! I was shocked as one can imagine. And nice At Will powers for all classes mean that everyone always has options, while Encounter and Daily powers mean there's still some measure of resource management. The combat is streamlined,...
