#10yearsago was the 10th anniversary of when the band was taught to play.
Is it wrong that the main reason I’m going to see Avatar again is the Sonic extra-long chilli coney dog I’ll be eating an hour beforehand?
6 hrs and 1137 pieces later, I now have a motorised AT-AT. http://yfrog.com/33zt7fj
Just realised Australia lost net neutrality ~8 years ago via “unmetered sites”, and we were happy for it at the time. Retroactively sad.
I don’t know if it’s Stockholm Syndrome or not, but I liked and finished The Saboteur, yet shelved Assassin’s Creed II a few hours in.
On a related note, “ambient freeplay” is my #1 nonsense design word for 2009. (#2 was “pollenization”)
Debating making a “no Skeletor, no Petrelli” cut of Doctor Who special Pt 1 before our marathon viewing next week. What the hell, RTD?
Thanks for reviving all my repressed memories of “Walkin’ Bad”, @JoeRybicki/@PlasticAxe.

One question has perplexed man for ages, and me for half an hour: Can a 6ft 3in man fit in a Smart Car for five hours of driving?
Cash Cab: The Game is now available for the iPhone. My secret shame grows larger.

The Australian Government is seeking submissions for whether they should include an R rating for games. Go do it! http://is.gd/5ninI
I have apparently developed a superpower that causes me to only sleep for 4hrs at a time. I must use this power for good, not evil.

Assassin’s Creed 2’s super sloppy jump towing has caused my first thrown 360 controller. In other news, my RB button is now non-clicky.
RT @HMXkfan: I have some very talented friends who are looking for work today. If any studios are interested, please hit me up.
Watching @John_Safran get literally crucified may not be the best morning workout TV.
HR people: Hire @vegas0zero. She’s one of the best designers I’ve worked with, and I’m sad she’s going. Unconditionally recommended.
