  Something new...

  ... Is coming soon. It's not a new series, like The Captionator, but I can't say for sure that it'll be a one off. No, I'm not going to tell you what it's about, but I will give you a cryptic clue: But what should I do once I know everything?
  
  No more clues after that. You'll just have to wait and see. It may be up on Tuesday or Wednesday, I'm not sure. Either way I'll make sure it's up before Thursday, because I'm planning a monstrous Saints Row 2 marathon.

  Some updates and first impressions

  Yes, updates time. Excuse me if this is mega boring, but I feel that I should move on.
  
  
  
  Games wise I have 3 new games: Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Fable II Pub Games and... Spore! Yes it arrived from the GS head office on Friday, and it is a blast! More details later. I've also made a big change in my life - I quite my job. Now I know what you're saying: "But Turbo, how will you fuel your spending habit now?" Well I'll get another one. Just not selling phones. Plus I've got quite a bit of money saved right now, and I get paid once more before I leave, so I should be fine for a while. I hope I can find a new one before Christmas, but if I can't then it's no biggie. I was thinking of going back to TAFE, maybe study Multimedia, so that's an option.
  
  Oh yeah, and I watched the first episode of Rosario + Vampire season 2 today. Man I missed it. It's basically more of the same, if you've seen the 1st season (I'm guessing most of you haven't) but that's a good thing. I lost count of how many pantsu shots there were, but that's normal.
  
  
  
  Spore: Fun fun fun! Yes there could have been some improvements to the formula, but it's a good game anyway. The tribal and civilisation stages are a yawn-fest, but the creature stage is top notch and the space stage is fun so far. I haven't actually gotten too far in the space stage so I can't do all the good stuff (turning planets into toxic wastelands, annihilating whole species) but so far it's good. I think the creature stage could have been better, in fact it could have been a stand-alone game, but it's enough fun as it is.
  
  Splinter Cell: Double Agent: Now I don't usually go for the stealth games, as I suck at them, but I got this because I want to have a crack. So far it's good, I think I've been doing well but have been pretty sloppy in parts.
  
  Fable II Pub Games: I'm glad I didn't pay for it. It's a good concept but for me it fails because the games are so boring. All of them are luck orientated, so there is 0 skill involved. It could have been so much better if they just made it "Casino Games", with Blackjack, Texas Hold 'Em and Pokies.
  
  That's all for now. Don't forget to catch me on the forums. Or MSN, if I've got you. If I don't have you on MSN then send me a PM. I'd like more people from GS in my list.

  The Captionator...

  ...is dead. I found him floating face-down in the pool yesterday. Was it an accident? Was he pushed? Did he jump? These questions will sadly never be answered. Though he did leave a will, and he left everything to me. Sorry guys, you get nothing. I guess he didn't care about any of you enough. He did leave me peice of paper, though I can't make any sense of it. Perhaps you guys can?
  
  I dunno, I guess it's a list of some sort *shrugs shoulders*... Anyway, I've decided to move on, you guys should too. Yes he will be missed by all, but he did leave me his beloved images, so you can expect to see them again in the future. And hey, perhaps he has a secret love-child?
