03 Oct 08 It don’t matter if shes fat
A simple Jonathan Coulton song for you this week. Its just G, C & D – yay!
Just as long as me – Jonathan Coulton
Its hard to explain on the chordsheet, but basically the intro & and vamp is 1 bar of G, 1/2 bar of C, 1/2 bar of G, 1/2 bar of G, 1/2 bar of D, 1 bar of G.
If you dont know how it goes, Youtube user ‘spiffworld’ has made a fantastic ‘World of Warcraft’ Machinanima video for the song.

28 May 08 Busted!
Yes, it is possible to play Guitar Hero 3 and look after a baby at the same time…

02 May 08 GTA:IV FTW
I couldnt face buying GTA:IV at midnight on the 29th, but i did buy it on the way to work at 8 in the morning. The guy in blockbusters said that they had 450 people turn up at midnight, and were open until 3:30am!
I am enjoying it, but my progress is very very slow (through lack of opportunity to play)
I did a little mission in front of my mother yesterday (She has been up for a couple of days to help look after Zym 2.0)
It involved me and my cousin ‘Roman’ chasing a bloke in a car. Every other word out of Roman’s mouth was either Fuck or shit – mainly cos I was banging into other cars, lamp posts & people, and on the radio was talk show caller lamenting the pharmaceutical companies for the lack of normal strength weed currently available in Liberty City.
Then, when I finally caught the guy, I punched him until he dropped his knife, then picked it up and used it to stab him to death.
I was laughing hysterically throughout all of this, while my mother was wishing she hadn’t agreed to hold the baby while I played it!!
Good Times

Suddenly, monkeys, computers, ukuleles, robots, and games dont seem that interesting anymore
05 Mar 08 Larry Niven FPS!!!
Kotaku have a story about Alchemic teaming up with Larry Niven to create game set in a Niven world/universe
Larry Niven is one of my favourite Sci-fi writers – and the prospect of a ‘Larry Niven game’ makes me VERY EXCITED.
Theres no mention of what type of game it will be – FPS, RPG, 3rdPS etc, but there are a few tantalising details..
The gameplay takes place entirely in zero gravity – the only time you’ll have your feet firmly planted on the ground is during the game’s cutscenes. The player starts off as a miner just learning the ropes of zero-g movement, using tools, etc. The early stages of the game will introduce the mechanics that will turn you from a fledging miner into a zero-g warrior, and you’ll have real technology to back you up.
Mmmmmmmm… Crystallized floaty blood
Ideally, i would like a Larry Niven version of Mass Effect, ie something thats both FPS & RPG, but either way i’ll be watching this one carefully.

15 Feb 08 Guitar Hero Update
I was looking on play.com on Thursday, and noticed that they now seem to have the game+controller in stock. I decided to go for it, and placed an order.
Yesterday i received notification thats this been despatched
*does happy dance*
Play.com is one of the best internet shopping sites going in my opinion. Not only are they often the cheapest, but they also have free p&p – which makes a BIG difference. Their delivery time is normally pretty good, and I havent had a single problem with them in all of the time i have going there. They are starting selling non-DRM mp3s soon too. (More on that another day)
What this space for some photos of me RAWKING when it arrives….
