Retail Therapy

I’ve been a bit out of sorts recently. Maybe it’s because I was a little bit ill. Perhaps it’s a bit of the post-holiday blues that people get after having a lovely Christmas time. Maybe it’s just because work is busy at the moment (it is really busy). Who knows?

Well, apparently my subconscious has decided that a spot of retail therapy is in order because I’ve been a bit online shopping crazy!

In the past week I’ve ordered not one, not two, but three t-shirts (as well as a hoody), four awesome DVDs (Usual Suspects, LA Confidential, Kick-Ass and The Godfather Trilogy), a powerball (I’m trying to increase my drumming strength and masturbating just doesn’t cut it any more!), Dragon Age: Ultimate Edition on 360, some optical cables and an optical splitter.

I also picked up Civilization: The Board Game. Which is amazing.

I feel better now. Screw you austerity/holiday blues!

New job: New look

In order to celebrate my new position at Rockstar, I’ve kitted out my XBOX Live avatar with some appropriate new attire (courtesy of Red Dead Redemption) and I’ve finally managed to convince Twitter to let me upload a new background image.

Twitter is incredibly flaky in this regard; 99 times out of 100 it claims Twitter is over capacity. Apparently the maximum image size limit allowed is 800k, but I rarely get it to upload unless the image is somewhere in the region of 200k (a.k.a. hideously compressed).

Get it sorted please Twitter!

Anyway, here it is in action:

Should you wish to follow me on Twitter, you can do so here: http://www.twitter.com/asphaltOnline

I am aware that this post might come across as a shameless, shallow attempt to gain more followers, but it’s really just so I can show off my new background, honest guv!

Oh and the Rockstar website does have some awesome wallpapers and avatar images by the way. If you’re into that sort of thing, you should definitely visit the Rockstar Downloads page.

EDGE cover and feature on PlayStation Move

A little late to the party I admit, but I’ve only just got hold of my post and this May copy of EDGE magazine. There’s a rather large feature on the upcoming PlayStation Move controller and games, and who should appear on page 68? Why, it’s none other than yours truly. Hello!

At last, my plan for world domination is finally in motion! Shame they didn’t think much of TV Superstars! 8)

Thanks to @MrTom for the heads-up all those weeks ago!
