  Odds and Sods - My Okami Car

  I was looking at some old pictures on my hard drive today and found this Forza 2 picture. I painted this car a couple of years ago, and it is the only decent thing I ever managed to design. It must have taken me a good five hours so I may as well share it. Let me know what you think.

  I had no idea games looked so good!

  This morning I took delivery of a 32" Toshiba Regza. It replaced a miniscule SD LCD screen that I have been squinting at since my old cathode ray tube leviathan exploded. So this is my first real HD experience.

  The detail one gets from 1080p is stunning! The first game I played was Dirt 2, I am shocked the number of details that I missed before. I almost feel obliged to write a letter of apology from the developers of my games begging forgiveness for desecrating their work with standard definition. It is like hanging an original Titian in a nightclub toilet.

  If anybody is looking for a new TV the Toshiba comes highly recommended. It was about £390 from Amazon, which for 1080p is quite reasonable (Toshiba Regza 32RV635DB 32-inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD TV with Freeview).

  Short post.

  I'm bout to waste your time with facile details of my week, enjoy!

  I went back to college this week, after the summer holidays. To be honest it is a relief to be back, my brain was in danger of dribbling out of my left ear in a viscus grey form. To my delight the library is holding a book sale, 25p for anything on the trolly. I picked up The Oxford Complete Works or William Shakespeare, The Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse, The Penguin Complete Novels of George Orwell, Lonely Planet Britain and The Iron King by Maurice Druon. All for a grand total of £1.25! My friends mocked me as Istaggered to the bus,overladen with books like an 80s sitcom nerd. Hopefully the Gamespot community will be more willing to see the glory of discounted literature.

  As a final point, I have pre-ordered Dirt 2 from Amazon. I really hope they get it to me on Friday. It almost feels like today is the 23rd of December! I watched the video review before and saw Tom McSheas shameless griefing of Justin! Shame on you Tom.
