    Spent the last hour watching a documentary about professional Street Fighter players that Dan Dare reccommended to me. It was fucking rad. The best thing is getting to see them speaking straight after a match or a huge tournament win, giving an interview, and being slightly overcome by the rush of things; its the kind of ingenuousness you wouldn't get from a sports personality because their environment is so sterile. The rivalries and interrelationships were really cool to see: Because I'm a fucking nerd.

    The O2 is awful. Nothing but shit overpriced restaurants. I played at the Indigo2 venue there though. That was also kinda shit. On the other hand, I couldn't disagree with your post about Camden more; its fantastic, and totally the kinda place O_W would enjoy, lots of gig venues, especially Camden underground, where you could probably pop into any night of the week and find a decent metal band playing (by decent, I mean like...Vader and Decapitated)...I saw Baroness there a couple of months ago. The market is pretty fun for all sorts of weird contraband and cool ethnic food stalls. Camden is rad. Also, there are drugs.

    It's not that fun a city =p. Bunch of museums, which are cool if you haven't been there before, so I reccommend you check those out if you havent already. Most of them are free like the British Museum, Natural History, Art and Portrait Galleries etc. Parks are fun if you're with friends and a lot of beer. Oh, and Trocadero if you want some stiff Street Fighter competition .

    I wish I was good at maths =(.

    My bday presents this year. It seems that people finally realised how much I like games; got Assassins Creed 2 and Bayonetta from my gf and Pokemon Heart Gold from my sister. Was really happy .

    Oh thats good. My greeting, in the absence of a cliff, will have to be conducted from atop a tree. Flink knows.

    This song scares the bloody pants off me: Had a fucking fearful mdma experience while this song was on loop, and now some Pavlovian tendancy makes my heart race whenever it plays. Amazing song aswell.

    I prefer the Adorno quote just below it brah. Of course, that guy essentially repeated the same thing to infinity.

    I really really hope the third game has the sort of multiplayer allure that the first game did. Not had that much fun/sense of community in a multiplayer shooter for aged. I suppose that might have been born out of the lack of choice though; it was one of the only great XBL games out at that time. Just another example of multiplicity of choice ruining everything =p.

    I would actually watch that.

    Haha, I was at that American Apparel sale with my girlfriend on the second day, and it was absolutely shit, nothing worth buying at all. Especially farcical when considering that theres this amazing stall in the market that sells t-shirts with some really really amazing artwork on them, and far better than anything you can get from AA.

    Oh shit, that first pic brings back awesomeweird memories. I remember that guy who was drawing us lot getting scarily handsy with you

    You would think that, but any parties hypothetical policies are inevitably going to cave to the normativity of reality. Or at least it seems that way. To be fair, it might just be because I'm not working myself, and I don't feel the impact in the same way as people who are actively involved in the economic sphere.

    Is it just me, or does anyone else find it hard to give a damn about turgid sack of shit we call "politics"? I just cannot find any single reason to care, sat in my room, playing Pokemon for hours straight. Makes me feel like a bit of philistine, but inevitably, should I care? I haven't felt any of the effects from political shift over the years, just found that my pack of Quavers has doubled in price in 8 years. But what the hell, I ain't that bothered. I suppose it's only a matter of time though.
  15. The Bard
    Yeah, defs. Of course, some illusion of freedom needs to be there, because when the linearity is overly obvious, you feel as if you have no agency within the game at all.

    I just realised how much I hate sandbox games. GTA, Just Cause etc. I like limitation in a game, by virtue of the fact that every freedom or empowerment they give you seems exponential comparitively within the games own context (games like Metroid being a prime example). The more choice you have, the more apathetic you become towards the decision you have to make, and the things you can do.

    Go as Carrot top. His propensity for annoyance is most definitely supernatural.

    Happy bday dawg.

    I can imagine working at a Safari Park would be great. There's always the danger of getting your eyes pecked out by an Ostrich though. I'm back in Manchester, and recovering from horrible drugs and alcohol and birthday withdrawal. Need to get some work done aswell, got a bunch of shit to read. My sis got me Pokemon Heart Gold for my bday too, which is fucking awesome. I kinda think it was a sort of compensation for deleting my Ruby gamesave though

    Thanks a bunch guys. Last night was very very fun. Can't believe I'm 21 though. Jaysus, so old!

    Yesterday was the best day ever, mates came over, some of which I hadn't seen in months and we proceeded to play ring of fire, which ended with much inebriation, and then upstairs to consume something close to two grams of Mephedrone, after which we we're nothing but sunny, incredibly articulate balls of love and goodwill People only left at around 10am. Haven't slept. I'm still high.

    Cmaaan gaiz, I ain't miserable, I just like to complain! Good day today! About to have some friends over, gonna drink, play some videogames, shoot the shit and generally dick around =3. Thanks for the birthday wishes. I secretly quite like you all
  25. The Bard
    Ah so happy! Went out with my girl today to brick lane and bought a couple of tshirts, ate a BUNCH of food, and then came back and she gave me my birthday pressies, Assassins Creed 2 and Bayonetta! Been playing AC2 since I got back, and it's brilliant. Awesome day!
