    You know what Shiekah, here's the thing. I actually think the same thing but about Animal Crossing. I guess you could say; not all Pokemon fans are autistic, but all autistic people are Pokemon fans. I'm gonna get banned for that aren't I?

    Try playing them now? Dude, I've owned a version of every incremental Pokemon release, and I've completed them all...perhaps unfortunately. I know that there's a way to pretty much mine the depths of the games and train your pokemon in totally joyless ways for maximum efficiency, but I look at the games as sort of zen gardens; they lul me into a sleepily childish obsession the way few other games can. I've been playing Heart Gold, and I can honestly say that I far prefer the original version, played on my tiny GBC screen, under my blanket with my wierd screenlight attatchment in the dead of night feverishly mowing through the elite four again and again so I can beat my friends' asses the next day. The game itself doesn't hold a candle to the "experience" of it. There's a mood that playing Pokemon creates that I love. The gameplay is...I guess a part of that, but on its own it's fucking tedious... I don't think it should be relegated to the position of a childrens toy at all, but neither do I play it for some weird holistic obsession with collecting and training Pokemon to perfection. That just bores me.

    Been listening to a lot of Primus and Tool recently. Antipop and Lateralus have kinda been blaring out of my speakers constantly. Odd, since I quite reviled Tool back in the day. Is it weird to say that I think I've mellowed to the point where I can enjoy metal that isn't completely in your face brutal? Perhaps; Tool aren't exactly "mellow". Schism has a fucking inspired main riff. I think most Tool fans prefer the earlier albums? They seem more raw and energetic, but I'm finding that I quite like the ponderous nature of Lateralus.

    Pokemon's ostensible simplicity was perfectly echoed in its Black and White graphics and 8-bit sound card. The more colour and 3D they add to it, the less appealing it gets. There was something so charming by the little flecks of colour when you played Red or Blue on a GBC, and the soundtrack was perfect. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic.

    Woke up and started playing Advance Wars again, which I fucking suck at. It is strategically intimidating. Love this game, but such a bastard time sink.

    Do you not love that early morning silence which cultivates your insomniac delirium, and you believe, nay, know that the worst thing you can do is attempt to sleep; instead you just end up trolling your favourite message board looking feverishly for... something... there's something oddly intimate about being the few members left, as if in your presence here there's some insane desperation you share to wring the last dregs of consciousness from the brown, slightly coffee-stained ceramic mug that is your day - your week. In fact, the commonplace sight - the stale taste contained by and in that mug are so reminiscent of your day to day pursuit of something vaguely inspirational or stimulating that... I'm beginning to creep myself out dawg. I can't read, I can't listen to music, I can't play a game with that subbordinate, slack-jawed, enthrallment. Emerson would have some strong words. I think I should go see Avatar.

    Libby is one of the only female characters that doesn't have something pervasively cuntish about her. Also, she has nice tits.

    I've been put in a similiarly jubilant mood by an anthemic tribute to platonic love. Mines slightly...different though: As for drugs; you should be. I'd pay good hard cash to see you high.

    Tax? What about the rising WoW tax eh? Nobody cares about me when I gotta pay £9.99 a fucking month, just to be allowed to LIVE in Azeroth. I think ya'll should quit yer whining.

    There's not lube enough in the world for you two.I loves ya!

    Ah fuck, Jim. I want that Lion cub =(.

    Hidden? Dude, when most people go to a therapist; I come here

    That was truly brilliant. Wonder what implications/consequences Taub's final act will have - if any. Also, now I want to try. House is always a pleasure. Never disappoints. Maybe I'm easy.

    You're mean! . But still: Up high! I think I'll continue to update... Go to Brick Lane; there's nothing particularly monumental or anything there, and to be honest, I don't know how it will appear to someone who doesn't live here, but it has a very gypsy market feel which I like, cool cafe's and bagel shops. Also I go there quite frequently, so if I see a large Portugese man walking the streets, I won't hesitate to mount.

    Yo brah, you know I ain't like that. I thought you knew me dude. I crai. Anyway, yes, as much as people always seem to have the capacity to rationalise away any bad behaviour, you (Pancake) don't strike me as the type to be able to sit well with that kind of Machaevellian bullshit. In fact, I find it difficult to believe that anyone can detach their sexuality from a sense of intimacy, and I definitely don't understand how you can maintain a relationship with the kind of sexual freedom that your chef friend seems to show; people are naturally inclined to want emotional monopoly and I find sexual gregariousness very strange, especially when, for me, good ol fuckin plays a huge part in a relationship. But then I don't really have much balls when it comes to women. I've only ever asked one girl out my entire life, and she's pretty much had me in a chokehold for the past two years

    The tube is good for nothing, other than the utility it provides; quick transport between London landmarks. If you want the "tube experience," lock yourself in a room directly above a volcanic faultline along the chilean coast, with an ethnic variety of disgruntled, impatient and sweaty people, who will often grip at whatever dripping clot of flesh or extremity they can in order to maintain balance. Also, apparently, if you come to London, don't ask me for my phone In joke ftw!

    Christ, Locke's life is a bit of a shit sandwich eh?

    Could just be some cryptic prophesied protocol of the elders of Zion? Meh? What's the context? Is there any reason to be overly alarmed?

    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.
