Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Another Christmas has come and gone, with the new year just around the corner. This year, like last year, has flown by, 11 months since we came back from our Holiday in Florida yet it doesn’t feel that long ago.

Christmas was good fun as always :) I bought my brother and his girlfriend Guitar Hero II, turns out my parents also bought me it for Christmas too, so Christmas day was filled with Rock’n'Roll co-op guitar playing :) It also meant I didn’t need to hope they’d forget to take their guitar with them when they went home ;)

Its one very addictive game, I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about it until it was mentioned on IRC a few weeks ago. I can’t think of anyone in the family that has played it and not had good things to say about it or gone out and bought it.

If the 360 does get Guitar Hero in 2007 as I’ve heard, then I may finally get a 360, at least if you can download additional songs over and above those that ship with it via Live.

The only disappointment this Christmas has been the lack of any Snow, not counting the giant inflatable snow globe in our back garden. I’m sure we’ll see some in the coming month(s), but it’s still not the same as having a white Christmas. Maybe Christmas 2007, although I’m not holding out much hope.

Here’s to a good new year :)

 

Shelled Postmortem

For anyone that hasn’t already seen it, I’ve posted a Shelled! postmortem over on the GarageGames Site. You can also download the PDF version.

You may have noticed the books on the right hand side of this blog. I thought it was about time I started listing which books I’ve read, I’m reading or I’m planning to read. Hopefully I’ll give a short review of each once I’m done. For those in the UK I’ve added a link to the Amazon page for each book too, yes I’m after the affiliate commission :P but I’ll only recommend books I’ve read and found useful. Besides which, it would seem most people that read this blog are not UK based anyway.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

PS: Guitar Hero ROCKS! Go buy it :)
