I have some work to finish and then we have to finish Zodiac (started it last night)...

BUt....


I got a call yesterday asking if i was interessted in a contract in Manchester, about an hour from where i live. I called the guy, and after seeing a half-finished version of my resume, they wanted to interview me today!


So i went, i interviewed, it went well, but i was reserved, because i have been constantly kicked in the balls by life for the past 6 months; every time something good seems just around the corner, we get screwed.

SO i got a call from the recruiter today After a second, unrelated interview, and I GOT IT! I guess they really liked me because i was told they had two more interviews, and one was for tomorrow, i wasnt supposed to get any news until tomorrow afternoon, but I found out this afternoon i got the conract! And it is huge, i will get to work from home some days, and the pay is outrageously good (if it was a full time job, it would be six figures).

Combine that with my already well paying part time wqork, and I am a man on a comeback.


I am going top wait until my first paycheck to get Bioshock; until then i will just play the demo over and over and over and over.....

Well, its officially out. Haven't picked it up yet - I am a bit concerned about the activation issues that some people are having (ie limited number of activations allowed, have to uninstall before you reformat etc to get an activation back).

I really want to pick this one up - I was planning on leaving work a bit early yesterday to go out and get it (it was released here yesterday). However I think I want to see how this goes before buying.

Thank you :)


I have been playing the shit out of the demo. Graphics are stunning, voice acting is good, great suspense and atmosphere.

And I love electrocuting people them smashing in their face with a wrench. Cathartic in so many ways.

Way to go, Vod! Hopefully you'll be far too busy for video games:D

Not bloody likely :)

I will have a full time and part time job, and a family, but i will make time. If i dont kill fake people, i might take out my frustrations on real ones.

in the time in betwen, i will probably write about horrible things :)
