  1. Once every two weeks-ish, I have to take 5 mins out of my day to watch Lionel Messi playing football. Just to keep spiritually balanced.
  2. That way it sounds like everything I recount could be described during the scrolling text at the beginning of Star Wars.
  3. Down with catchy abbreviations like 90s and naughties. I shall describe this 10 year period as 'the second decade of the third millennium'.
  4. Another consequence of reading Ian M. Banks: Trying to use his made up words in articles. Turns out 'roting' isn't in the dictionary.
  5. @dangerawesome No, of course not! I wear all that gear whenever I go outside. I'm a delicate flower you know.
  6. OK so apparently the Madden 12 intro stole the Inception theme part and parcel. Everyone else has been doing it I guess.
  7. My blurb for the 2012 Gamer's Edition claimed I was "mad for Madden," which was a lie, but I am going to play it now, so you never know.
  8. A long time ago, @batmurt saw a @TwoPlusTu playing with @johnneh.
  9. Had a great session with Deus Ex. Then got to another boss. Contemplating giving up and moving on to something fun. Wish there were cheats.
  10. @Phonosexual All of the above and more.
  11. Learn all about Spanish Taxes and other IMPORTANT FACTS in this week's @Pokerati column - pokerati.com/2012/05/wider-…
  12. Well this is pretty exciting. Lots of great cheap indie games - becausewemay.com/index.html - h/t to @LewieP
  13. Looking towards the next two weeks with a moderate amount of dread at how work-busy they are going to be.
  14. I finished reading Ian M. Bank's 'The Algebraist'. I liked it very much, but I think it's going to make my paragraphs more convoluted.
  15. @batmurt I had a great time, today, with our wife, under an A-Wing.
  16. I thought I was over my FM addiction, but apparently I've lapsed again. Sucks that I have no more time/good reason to play it now.
  17. I've been playing Football Manager 2012 for work today and now all I want to do is play Football Manager 2012 all the time.
  18. @Phonosexual Agreed.
  19. @Phonosexual Well don't quote me on that, but I'd say so.
  20. @Phonosexual If I had to describe it one word, the word I would pick would be 'warm'
