About
I enjoy games. Lots of them actually. I enjoy festivals/raves. Been to a fair few. I enjoy smoking weed. It makes my incredibly dull life slightly enjoyable. I like drum and base, old school dubstep (Skream etc), house, most electronically / base driven music. But I also enjoy folk, indie, rock, rap etc etc. Anything that is 'good'.

My first major experience with games was completing Sonic 2 at the age of 5, much to my dads amazement. Its strange, I don't remember his reaction, but i do recall him not letting me play any more games until he completed them first. My all time favourite game is Banjo & Kazooie. God damn I love that bear & bird.

Games I love:
Dino Crisis 1/2
B & K
DQ8
Command & Conquer
Borderlands
Golden Axe
Crash Bandicoot: Warped
Resident Evil 2/4
Sonic 2
Altered Beast (despite never getting past the third level)
Radical Rex
Pokemon Blue/Gold/Ruby
Super Mario Sunshine/64
Diddy Kong Racing

N64 is my favourite console of all time.

Oh look, It's me! I have slugs for eyebrows.


Here is Lynx. Lazy bastard.

So currently i have been disabled for electricity. The only way im able to use my laptop is by taking it to work with me. I dont look out of place at all, sat there in a building site with a laptop. It honestly makes me question my manhood, while im scooping some gaming news, the 5 men next to me are reading Playboy while spitting on the floor, doing weights and smoking.



But anyway thats not the point of this preety useless blog. I just wanted to talk about how shocking (electric pun no.1) my daily routine has become with the absence of elecricity. Dont ask me why, but im sure working from 5 in the morning till 6 at night, then going home and watching your family play board games from a distance (me and board games dont go) has driven me slightly insane.

Speaking of which, the last 4 days i have had to wake up at stupid o'clock, and attempt to get prepaid for work in the pitch black. So many injuries. I actually fell down the stairs lastnight, and it hurt way more than i remember. But this blog post isnt about personal injuries or the accidental death of my 2 month old kitten, its about what the evil electricians have done to my gaming capabilities. Which is basically crippled them. The only game i have played in the past four days is solataire, and i am terrible at it. Its almost as if i have been unplugged from the gaming world (electric pun no.2). It depresses me evn more that (i think) the new norderlands dlc is out in England today, yet i am unable to persue my love for the game.



Im disconnected from all my online chums and pals, i have had to cram all the destructoid goodness from the last few days in a one hour dinner break. When i am back and fully functioning, i have a idea for a post which has been praying on my mind for a while. But it needs some serious graft put into it. Until then, chow!!!!

Electricity is very nice. Coincidentally it is how I learned my first word, "hot." I'll let all of you just imagine how it happened.
@Enkido.....yes....yes it is. I took it for granted. But no more. When she comes back im gunna treat her nice. And there are a fair few spelling mistakes in this.

Oh and i forgot the whole point of this blog....how long have you been without elecricity before? How did you cope? I have another 4 days of this bullshit.
Electricity, huh? Tell me more...

17 days. I live in Florida and after we got hit by two hurricanes in a row we found out our house was on one of the last grids to be restored.

@Occam
Tesla was a badass.
Tesla was the Tyrannosaurus Rex of electricity developers. Edison? Edison was more like a diplodocus. Kapow.

During our last power outage, my brother and I played scramble. Given our propensity towards generating new words weighted towards landing on score multipliers and unpronounceable constant combinations, in a few days, we would have created another language. This is your chance. Start a new civilization down there in the dark.
Why are you without electricity? Have you had floods or storms? I know my inlaws were without electricity in the middle of a Canadian winter in Ontario for several weeks. They used the open fireplace for heat but had to play a huge clean up bill later on when they realized how much soot had gotten all over the walls.
We have a wood stove here and ride out power outages pretty easily, but the longest we've been without was only a day or two.

... also, what kind of job do you have that there are "5 men next to me are reading Playboy while spitting on the floor, doing weights and smoking"... because it certainly sounds like an interesting workplace. :)
@ Occams.....im afraid that whatever Telsa has told you is a lie.

@Enkido- What! Jesus. Luckily for me england has shitty weather, but not to a point where im heading underground to avoid the next hurricane.

@Beyamor- You just burnt Edison reeeeal bad there. And i cant. Ive been banned from board games. They unlock some kind of uncontrolable primal rage.

@Elsa- Haha my job is amazing...i spend 10 hours a day shifting bricks to one warehouse to another. On the same complex. Its amazing fun. Oh and because some realllllly smart people where i live thought it would be a good idea break into the substation and wreck some of the panels. Fucking idiots.
