All posts in Blog updates

I’ve been meaning to update the blog with the games I’ve been completing lately, but I’ve been struck by the realisation that I have a severe problem – I have too many games! Right now I’ve got these Xbox 360 titles on my playlist:

• Gears of War 3
• The Adventures of Tintin
• Battlefield 3
• Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
• Skyrim

Finding the time to “finish” them is proving nigh impossible, but keep watching this space for the inevitable reviews links/opinion pieces. I’m hoping to get at least 3 out of the 5 completed before I head home for Xmas.

In the mean time, if you want to get my incomplete and uneducated opinions in an audio format, please download The Monkeychunk Show, possible the world’s greatest podcast that I’ve been a host on. Be warned it may contain sweary words, naughty jokes and the occasional incorrect fact.

Ah the classic behaviour of a blog owner, without the right inspiration and routine, it turns out I’ve abandoned this blog! I think I’ve done this with every single iteration of the blog, so I can see a pattern occurring, usually around the half year mark. I’m not sure how I become so disconnected from posting regularly, maybe it’s the choice of video games I’m playing that keeps me distracted, or the activities I spend my time doing.

I’m doubtful anyone has me subbed in an RSS feed (I’ve never got round to checking the analytics side of this blog), but if you read this post then I thank you for your patience. If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to since my last post on August 20th, well here’s my attempt at a recollection:

• Deus Ex Human Revolution rocked my world, as did the Safety Dance
• I became hopelessly addicted to Minecraft
• I reviewed Warhammer 40k: Space Marine for Gadgetoid
• I reviewed El Shaddai for Gadgetoid
• I became a member of the Nerdjackers team and co-host on The Monkeychunk Show
• I attended Eurogamer Expo 2011 at Earls Court in London

So that’s a brief re-cap of the last two months, I see now how I allowed myself to get carried away! Right now I’ve got Gears 3 and Dark Souls on the go, with Dead Island and Persona 4 eyeing them jealously, so my time already seems jam packed! Stay tuned and maybe I’ll post something here at some point within the next 60 days

Yep, it’s been a busy few weeks with a lot going on in my life, more will be explained soon in the form of a video – I’m just waiting for a quiet moment to sit and record something so that I can play around in iMovie.

Anyway, thanks for coming back and making sure I was okay, I’ve been doing some quiet introspection when looking at the blog and decided to change to a new skin, I hope you like it (and before anyone asks, no I didn’t make it, I’m far too lazy for that!).

There’s a new contact form – look at the menu on the top right of the screen – if you notice anything broken, please contact me so I can fix it. I may not be the worlds best php developer (hint – I’m not a php developer) but I can sure try and bend the code to my will. There is no spoon!
