Arsecasted
With sincerest apologies to anyone who wastes 34 meg and 49 minutes of their life, my ambling bitching session with Graham is now available for you all to download. Luckily, thanks to the marvels of modern technology, you fully have the ability to hit the off switch when it starts to bore you. I give it 5 minutes at the outside.
- Find out precisely what Project MFOR (pictured) stands for.
- Find out precisely how much I’m considering stealing from your coffers in return.
- Discover how scatty brained I can be with my inability to tell the difference between the 1980’s and the 1990’s.
- Find out some other stuff ever so slightly more interesting, but not much.
- Now in mumblydrinkingorangejuiceovision.
So, if you’re suffering from severe insomnia, then have a gander over to the Arsecast and torture yourself. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you…
On the bright side, now that the interview is out there - I can start posting a few bits and bobs about MFOR and things and stuff.
Random Search Queries (NSFW)
I’m always amazed at the queries bringing people towards my little corner of the internets. Granted, a lot of them are very normal remake/game related stuff - but each and every month there’s some really curious ones that crop up.
wet cunts - its the internet I suppose, I should expect nothing else.
retro bit tits - okay, you’re starting to lose me already here. Retro Bit Tits. Is that old breasts in part? What are you looking for person who found me via that query. Filed under “I’m really not sure even the internet can help you here”
silly games make yourself clone of yourself game now - thats just random! If its not, I fear for the state of the world.
remakes downloads that are not zipped -I’d hope its someone looking for an installer based remake really. Ignoring the wrongfacedness of such a quest, if its not - colour me worried.
fuck wives uk - get yer own!
free sites for naked game characters - too far, man! Too far!
companies that make teabags - BASTARD! You just hate me don’t you…
and the disturbing final entry for this month so far, which I know I kinda ask for with all the puns I make on here but still…
want a look at my willie
*sigh* It comes to something when you’re asking Google, a search engine on the internet, that question. I don’t think it really does you know.
Tea
Its been the best part of a month since I gave up tea, originally not intentionally - I just couldn’t stomach it after being ill for a bit and next thing you know, its a month later and I haven’t even sniffed a teabag. (Oh, the connotations).
Maybe this is why I’ve been seriously “meh” about doing anything of late. I managed to tidy a few things up in G-Force and make sure Vista wasn’t complaining about it, nudged away at MFOR to get a design I liked (described by one of the select few who’ve seen it in action as “Fren-Ze meets Gunroar” which is either a case of me being a shameless rip off or the greatest praise one could ask for. I suspect it lies somewhere inbetween) and little else really.
More fun was taking part in officially the worst interview to ever grace the internet (or not, yet, as the case may be). Graham asked me long ago would I be up for some Arsecast action and I kinda forgot all about it for a while. On the basis of how the interview eventually turned out - maybe the pair of us should have just plain not remembered at all, ever. Its not that its bad per se, more that there’s approximately 2 people in the whole world who would possibly give a shit about it - and they both take part in it. Having had a sneak preview at the edited version the closest I can describe listening to it is if you were to tap the phone of two people having a conversation and ambling on to themselves.
I also discovered that I now have the strangest accent ever after a variety of moves around the place. Its an odd hybrid of Cestrian and Mancunian with a scouse twang.
And yes, I blame the lack of caffeine for not being my usual fiery self during the interview. That, and for once, I’d actually been awake since the early hours of the morning and scheduling the interview around my normal erratic sleep pattern. Then again, thats probably for the best otherwise it wouldn’t have just been 10 or so minutes that had to be cut out and/or beeped out.
I’m sure it’ll still manage to annoy a few people along the line, but I’d guess they’re more likely to be in a coma after 5 minutes. Just be thankful that if Graham does put this interview out, the starting ramble over Doctor Who wasn’t included - then you’d be really bored.
