I Had A Clever Title For This But I've Forgotten It
The total fuck-storm that was Saturday at work continued to have a ripple effect at the start of the week as I spent Monday tidying up the rest of the mess that wasn't cleaned up on Saturday. To be fair it wasn't that bad, there were very few drops to do, they were just massively spread out and took a good eight hours. No seriously! The scenery was lovely though, all along the Norfolk coast and it was a very pleasant way to spend the morning. Today was spent delivering in good old KL and was another decent day. Keep that up and I'll have a good number of hours come the end of the week.Haven't had much of chance to play Fallout 3 until today, although what I have played continues to impress. Although it occurred to me, perhaps later than it should have, that it's Oblivion wearing a nice Fallout suit. That said I'm still astonished that my machine can play it at all, let alone as well as it does, so it's a special kind of surprise and joy to be playing it at all. Makes me wonder what else my PC is capable of from the games of this generation. Guitar Hero WT also continues to impress. The new guitar is great, big and weighty, very responsive and unlike the GH3 iteration it actually works! On top of that the game soundtrack is a marked improvement over Legends Of Rock, with a much more diverse and entertaining soundtrack (Steely Dan, Blondie, Wings and Jimi Hendrix!). I'll admit that I did find things to enjoy in GH3 but after the first two it was a horrible let down. World Tour is a welcome return to form although it still doesn't seem to quiet have the magic of the first two, but then maybe they never can because back then it was all new and exciting.
Speaking of new and exciting, here's another party I'm rather late to; the new Metallica Death Magnetic. I listened to it for the first time yesterday whilst tidying the house and doing various other jobs, and I have to say I was not at all disappointed. That's not to say I had high expectations, I'd never consider myself a Metallica fan, but there are times when their music and my mood agree very well and yesterday was one of those days. I should probably give them a bit of time and appreciation and see what I think, free of the weight of expectations of those around me (for a while there I was running with a crowd where not liking Metallica was considered little short of heresy). Anyway, I liked it.
