Finished Psychonauts
I've just finished Psychonauts, so I can have my life back. It's a surprisingly good third-person platform/shooter/RPG from for the X-Box and PC, from some of the minds of people who made Full Throttle and Grim Fandango.

Dan And Alex
People have been asking me if these comics are actually related to my co-worker, Alex.

CNPS
Consecutive Number Plate Spotting is a very, very silly game.
And now Claire is doing it. And I'm betting that there'll be others we know who'll want to try to beat her at it (I'm looking at you, Paul - there's a number 1 parked on Bridge Street).
This could get very, very silly. -
Episode III, Take II
When Ruth, JTA and Claire watched Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith the other night, Claire got very drunk. As a result, she doesn't actually remember much of what happened.
So, tonight, we'll be watching it again. If you want to come along, we'll be showing it at The Flat at 9pm tonight. … -

Claire and I went out with Sundeep last night to Reload at the Students Union, which was surprisingly good fun, apart from that weird man who briefly kidnapped Claire … -
Keep Away From Fire
I hadn't noticed before, but my jeans have a little label in them, sewn in right by my crotch. It reads:
Keep Away From Fire
Yeah; no shit - that's my knob we're talking about. Like I need a warning.
