I was never a fan of the Tomb Raider games but. having seen the trailer and gameplay footage I'm looking forward to the new game.

I hope the FA Cup final isn't being shown in the US. If it is, it'll set back the sport over there for years. It's Chelsea v Liverpool and ... It's BORING!

Thinking of emigrating to China due to their impressive human rights.

Looks like Guardiola's quitting Barca. So, when the going gets a little rough ...

Bloody hell. What a performance by Chelsea against the mighty Barcelona. Looked dead and buried with one player sent off and 2-0 down. Probably the best fightback in Champions League history ... after United against Juventus and then Bayern Munich in '99 of course.

Just giving my daughter a history lesson about the Oreos she's eating.

Ugh! Sore throat and headache. Need to chill out with Mass Effect 2.

In a really funny wind-up mood today.

Finally got News Group Newspapers' final response to my claim for libel damages. They're going to contest it. Not surprised one bit. Let the fun and games begin.

Mancini's going to finally punch Balotelli for that! Hahahahaaa! 20th title heading to Old Trafford

C'mon you Arses!

Game no. 1 on is coming along swimmingly. It's a project I've been working on and off with for a couple of years. Started it afresh again and took 3 days to get the engine working. Now it's just the HUD and gameplay enhancements left.

Last month was the third warmest March on record. The weather was glorious. This morning, I wake up to SNOW! In April?? Happens in Scotland but not here! Didn't stick but was still a hell of a shock.

There's a lot to admire about the US. There's also a lot to be baffled about. Just read that a cop who aided a cover-up into the deaths of two civilians by other cops has been given 6 years. Yet he doesn't actually have to go to jail until 23 May. Same thing happened with LiLo, IIRC. The US must have the world's most honest criminals.

Back in '85 I picked up a copy of TV Gamer magazine. It had articles about The Last Starfighter and Dragonriders of Pern. It was because of that I started reading the books. Never saw that magazine again - just found it on DP and no wonder. It was the last issue

Corporate greed or monumental stupidity? In Bangor, North Wales, there was a GAME store until a few months ago. It was directly opposite a GameStation store. Found out last week that they're part of the same group of companies! Friggin' stupid or what? GAME has now gone bust. That's what you get for screwing me out of my preordered MW2 360 Elite. Karma's a bitch.

Just been reading about a friend's grandfather on Wikipedia. William Williams got a Victoria Cross in the first world war. It was the first time that a VC had been awarded by a ballot of his fellow crewmen, rather than being put forward by a commanding officer.

Finally showed who should have been the real finalists at the World Cup. Third Grand Slam for Wales in 8 years. This is stuff that made legends of the 70's players. Let's keep it up.

Wow! Coca Cola and PepsiCo's share of the US fizzy drinks market is 90%! You hardly ever see anyone drinking their stuff over here as it's way more expensive than the alternatives.

Wife turned to me today and said "have you seen that tiny computer that was on the news?" ... "Oh," says I, "you mean the Raspberry Pi." So I explain how much it costs and why they're making it. "Can we get one?" she asks. This is from someone who NEVER watches the news and knows NOTHING about computers. Think she's having an affair!

Hmmm ... got a letter from News International's lawyers. They've agreed to one part of my demands but because of everything else going on at the moment, they need longer to consider the rest of them. I won't hold my breath ...

I'm just not getting it. What's the point of Minecraft and where's the 'fun' factor? Why should I be interested?

That was weird. Started talking to someone I knew in town earlier - thinking they were someone else. It's been a strange couple of days. I need a holiday.

Just spent 4 hours trying to get a Friesian stallion out of a ditch. Was touch and go for a while. Needed two sets of fire crew, including a specialist animal rescue team an hour away, plus additional 'helping hands' to eventually secure him, drag him out and force him to get back on his feet. Looks like he'll be okay now, though.

Think it's time I'd better get to work finishing off the WP7 app. Meetings for the new RDA/Paralympics fundraising event are going to be twice a week now. Where the hell am I going to find the time?
