Get in!

Since my last post here I'm very happy to report that our house has been sold and a price agreed on the place we want! Took a bit of dealing at the 11th hour (nothing dodgy mind) but it's all looking rosy now. Now it's a case of seeing if we can push for a Xmas move completion. Chances are slim seeing as teh family we're buying from don't have anywhere to go yet, but they are trying hard to find somewhere bless 'em. Well I'd say looking at 8 properties in two days is trying, wouldn't you?!

Sadly my Speccy is still sitting in it's box waiting to be plugged in, but between working during the day, updating and writing for VN and the house move, free time is becoming a myth. Not that I'm complaining as it's all worth it, well except for the day job which is boring as hell, but pays nicely.

I also got back into playing Civilization III a couple of nights back after recording a small spot for the VN Podcast which is sapping my attention again. God I forgot how much this game sucks you in! I got into the series way back in the days of the Amiga (where's my rose-tinted glasses?) on which I spent way too many hours to count. Well I probably could but it's gonna be a scary answer! In case you didn't know, Civ IV is due out next Friday, 24th Oct in the UK.

Now I've started playing Halo 2 again on Live! I must be mad as everytime it frustrates me due to a number of players being spawn camping 'tards. Then there is the whiners who believe it's their god given right to have a certain weapon/vehicle all to themselves, and may god strike down anybody who gets there first. Well they say something alot harsher, but I'll save your eyes from that, although I'm sure you can guess ;)

Oh and my wife decided that, even though I already had a DS and a copy of Nintendogs, that she needed to go out and get her own copy, and a pink DS to play it on! The sight of her calling the names of her dogs and telling them to sit down or rollover etc., then remembering she's talking to a machine, is funny though!

Catch you all soon!
