I did my first five hour shift today, which actually turned out to be a six and a half hour shift because it was so busy that Nalin asked me if I could stay a while longer. It means more money for me and I told Linzi to come back at 4:30 with Mum, which [...]
..it’s off to work I go. Today is the first day I’ve done more than four hours, I’m doing five, which means that I get a half hour break and I’m allowed a free Panini or Sandwich. I think I’m gonna go for the meatball melt panini with a hot chocolate as a drink. Yay!
Unfortunately [...]
I’m almost halfway through The Day Watch now and it’s really good. It’s actually three stories in one and I’m on the second story now. I think the first book, The Night Watch, was the same format so I’m wondering how they made the film one long story.
I read the blurb on the back [...]
March is shaping up to be quite a good month this year, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and new Mass Effect downloadable content. The content is gonna be 400 points (£3.20 approx.) and will add 90 minutes of new gameplay as well as an achievement worth 50 gamerpoints. I’m normally not one to buy downloadable content [...]
I just finished rewatching Doctor Who Season Three the other day and what happens just a few days later? A new trailer for season four is released. Yay! It’s actually only in cinemas (I thought the BBC wasn’t allowed to advertise but who knows) so it’s a shakeycam copy but it’s still looking pretty good. [...]
Ubisoft announced the release date for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2 yesterday, March 21. That’s only 15 months after the original was released, is that long enough to create a game up to the same standards? Or will it just be Vegas 1.5? I’m reserving my judgement because there’s been little to no media [...]
It’s Pancake Day here in the UK today, the day before the start of Lent where you are supposed to use up all your fat or something. It started as a religious thing but most people just use it as a day to make pancakes now.
Which is what Paula and I did. I bought [...]
I was just reading this seven-part webcomic which tells the story of a gamer throughout his life. I thought it was really touching and hopefully that’ll be me some day. But without the wife or son. Or the crappy job. Or the getting soaked. Or the time without games. I’ll take the consoles from God [...]
I got shown how to do the till today and then was thrown in at the deep end as the minute I was put on the till on my own, half the town walked in the door. But I managed to cope, I didn’t give anyone the wrong drink or anything so that’s something at [...]
It was my second day of work today, I was still there as an extra body and I will be again tomorrow for the last time, but it was much more hands on today. For one thing I stayed there the entire four hours! The first two hours went pretty slow but the last two [...]
