MUST NOT BUY ANMORE GAMES ;)

was thinking about it but i promised myself no more software till the new year.
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

I had a very quick single player go of the demo when it was released, but haven't gone back to it. But it looked very nice even on my outdated PC.

I think that due to my age and the amount of alcohol I have consumed over those years, I have lost the edge that you need to play such fast paced games.

I used to play Quake when it was first released and managed to play for a clan in div 1 for a couple of years against some of the top clans. For me that game was the best FPS ever  ;D

I dont think my ticker can handle Left 4 Dead after seeing some gameplay vids on Youtube.

A few weeks ago, I spent an afternoon going through a good number of zero punctuations, and for me, this must be (one of) the best.
Even though I'm not a console-person, and not a guitar (or drum, or whatever) hero, either.
