Well, I for one had rather a good weekend. Rain cancelled play (read: anything involving leaving the house) on Saturday, so I spent a good five hours messing about with the SPORE Creature Creator. I had to suffer the trial version mind you, seeing as I still don't have a 'net connection at home. Christ, it's got to be coming up for a year now. Anyway, I highly recommend SPORE for everyone. Seriously. I sent messages to friends, relatives and strangers about this game. If you have even the tiniest spark of creativity in your veins then this game is for you.
Other than that, not an awful lot this weekend. Lack of funding meant I had to miss out on a mate's birthday party Saturday night, and spent Sunday morning and afternoon going over the Creature Creator a bit more, throwing in a couple of hours on The Witcher as well. It's a bit buggy, but rather good fun, and once you start unlocking more powerful spells and fancy swordplay the combat becomes something of a rush. Motion-capture footage of a professional swordsman was used in the creation of the combat moves, and it really becomes apparent when Geralt (that's The Witcher's name) starts flinging his sword around like a lethal majorette.
And I managed to catch Top Gear on Sunday night! First in a new series, and it was a blinder. I highly recommend catching up with it on the BBC iPlayer (what a fantastic way to spend your lunch hour!) if you missed it or just don't know what I'm talking about.
Meanwhile, I'm back off to work, wondering how to get a 'net connection on the cheap and how I'm going to afford all the important events coming up this year. Have a nice day, kids.
Hope I didn't take up too much of your time,
Love, Odsox
