If it’s even one tenth the game Fallout 3 is, New Vegas is worth getting very excited for indeed. And look! He’s got a glowing red face!

For reasons I don’t understand, Spotify just went a bit mental and started playing everything at double speed. Even closing the app and opening it again doesn’t seem to have helped.

Shame I can’t do the same with live TV. By tomorrow morning I’d know the lottery results!

The sticker says that rattle noise is normal. I’m not sure about grating, squeaking, squealing or grinding though…

This evil sight was in Asda this evening.

Last week, there was an update for the 360. It was supposedly innocuous, simply providing the groundwork for some features not yet accessible. It wasn’t supposed to do anything to the system. Except, of course, for me.

The price says ¬¨¬£39.99 – but that was how much it cost last year when they started stocking it. I knew if I waited long enough they’d drop it a bit, and I was right! Worth the wait? Of course!

There was just a little bit of thundering, lightning, and rain this afternoon. The Sky Gods were upset, it seemed. Lightning hit the building at least twice, frying the wireless network and killing my fax machine with magic blue fire.
