Ex Londoner's Lament

Living 2 hours out of London is lovely most of the time, but I definitely don't have my finger on the pulse as much as I did living in London.

Yes, I knew about the London Games Fest, I was even thinking about travelling up on Monday night to see the Video Games Live Concert. And I heard about the Xbox Games Lounge at the Vinyl Factory in Soho. But I did not hear about the EA event in Trafalger Square until after the fact.

I blame being really, REALLY busy at work this week, which cut my internet usage time to my half hour lunch breaks only, and I haven't played online much in the evenings to talk to other gamers.

I also have a stinky cold! Which meant I didn't want to go out last night to see Saw 4, so we stayed in and watched Zombie Flesh Eaters on DVD instead!

Today we have mostly been playing the Guitar Hero 3 demo! Definitely on our Christmas wish list, and surprisingly Xandu Rocks harder than me!! I think it will be easier with the Guitar tho! Playing on a controller does work, but it's not quite the same!

While playing demo's I got a couple of random messages and friends requests from guys who had seen my GTP profile, I don't mind getting messages but I really wish it was at least from people who play Burnout. There really is no point me adding a non-burner to my friends list. Gave me a Xandu a laugh tho!!

We saw a TV ad for Metroid Prime on the Wii today too - another thing to ad to the Chrimbo wish list!!
