Too many reviews of shitty games to write – only one game at this stage is going to get more than a 6. Kind of want this quarter to be over – yeah, it seemed like it was going to be great three months ago, and it was – if you only have to play games you like. Desperately want to do some of my own gaming and/or go out and visit the friends I haven’t yet seen since moving up here two months ago.
I didn’t make it to the finals for the Best Reviewer or Columnist awards at the Lizzies. I think it’s probably because I’m low profile and not from Sydney. I mean they can’t hardly award them based on quality if IGN AU is up for awards. No offense guys, but Fox desperately needs to put up the cash for some copy editors.

Driving back and forth from Melbourne resulted in blog entries being missed. Tired and have lots of work to do, and am trying to stem the flow of money from my accounts. Buying like 15 games in the last week didn’t help.

Missed last week’s column since I was busy spending the day with the missus, celebrating our recent engagement.
Been busy with reviews for the last three weeks which has made me irritable. Making money is nice, but it seems like everything gets in the way of getting work done. It really shouldn’t take more than 3 hours to write a 1,200 word review, but it does.
N’Gai Croal quit Newsweek and gaming journalism, and headed over to the development side this week. While I respect the work he did, I rarely found myself agreeing with him, and often wished that he’d consider brevity and understandability when writing. That whole Resident Evil 5 racism thing was a bit ridiculous too.
