I Kind Of Felt Bad For The Horse

So, I guess I've neglected this thought repository over the holiday period. I don't particularly know why - I've been on the Internet no less than usual. Maybe it's the sweet distractions of home.

I know that I've not updated FireBall, at all. I think I'm going to have to get motoring on that sooner or later. Three weeks without an update is heinous, of course, but I'll be filling up the archive and catching up.

Um, yeah. Christmas was good, cheers, as was my new year. Now I'm just gearing up for the wonders of Winter-een-mas, which I'm celebratng by writing a walkthrough for my game of the moment - Tony Hawk's American Sk8land. Hey, I never said it was going to be a wild holiday.

Speaking of wild holidays, I was denied my proposed 'go out every other day and get absolutely ratted' situation by the most evil cold I've ever had. I've never shivered when the room was roasting before, I know that. Luckily it cleared up in time for that pagan celebration of the winter solstice that we all know and love, but other members of the family weren't so lucky. Mother's still stuffed up, and can't go to work tomorrow. I'm sure they'll assume she's hungover or something, though.

What does the future hold for 2006, I wonder. Well, hopefully, it'll hold me making it through my first year of University, finding a house (and the housemates to cohabit with therein), and that's where I start becoming a complete geek.

You see, 2006 is the year of the Revolution. And no, I'm not talking the chavs and idiots revolting against the proletariat (although I'm sure we can all agree that the chavs and idiots are revolting). I'm talking about the Nintendo Difference.

No, I'm not going to go any further. I'd just be repeating myself. All I've got to add, I guess, is that Twilight Princess will be the Game of the Year, without a doubt. It's only a shame that Shadow of the Colossus is released in February. I'm going to have to beat it extremely quickly before March and Zelda.

I've still got Prince of Persia and God of War to finish, for Christ's sake. And it's just struck me how similar all of those games are.
