And we'll do this a day early because I've got tomorrow off in honour of:
WoW (PC) - Wrath of the Lich King! Installed! Updated! No thanks to
Blizzard's
shonky patch seeds serving up bad blocks of data, mind you. But I'm going
to
be spending all of friday and most of saturday and sunday playing this.
Yes.

Having two job interviews lined up on either side of the weekend, I don't
think I'll be getting a weekend as such.
However, for those late evenings after preparation and research, I'll
probably be playing Bully (PS2).Brilliant game; typical Rockstar humour and
a shining example of how Jack Thompson manages to talk out of his arse
whilst keeping a straight face. My only gripes so far is the screwed up
controls for shop class (the game keeps misregistering my analog stick
movements so clockwise ends up anti-clockwise etc), and myself for not
buying this sooner when I had more time to play it!
If my nerves don't get the better of me on Sunday night, I might wind down
with a Mario Kart Wii session, if Nintendo's servers actually sodding work
this time.
