Yes after 19 days of 0 activity (along with 21 of 0 pageviews) I am back. I don't really know what else to say now except I've had a decent holiday in in Bordeaux, France which consisted of drinking, staying in and more drinking, very social me. Also had a amazing time in Disneyland Paris which gave me a chance to act like a child again, few gripes here and there, not having that much money, being dragged onto rides, oh and that "princess" from the princess and the frog being in the once upon a dream parade, I mean COME ON! Why is she even being referred to as a true Disney princess, it's like classing Selena as one for fucks sake! Anyway, unrelated babble...Before I go I'd just like to notify you of a new project that I will be working on into 2012, only saying one thing at present, it involves computers and retro games, another teaser at the start of October ;)
Anyway I shall be back on track by next week with my horrifically late Quakecon recap on Wednesday as well as a lets play of Monkey Island 2 part 1 maybe? We'll see.
Bye for noww!

Internet and hangovers
In short, my reasons for not posting are:
Wednesday & Thursday-Rather bad internet problems.
Friday-At a party downing lager, whiskey and rum.
Saturday-Throwing the aforementioned drinks up and suffering from my first hangover.
For these reasons I have put everything off to next week, my deepest apologies.
I shall be back on wednesday, until then.

Flash Game of the Week: Dude and Zombies
AGH sorry everyone probably no-one, didn't realise how late it was, I'm gonna press on with this and try make it short and sweet OK?
Today Yesterday I bring should have brought you Dude and Zombies which was made by the wonderful men and/or women at FunCrow.
The main aim of the game is to repair your ride while fighting off hoards of zombies we've all been there we know what it's like. As well as the car's permanent repair status there is also a sort of temporary repair meter which degrades as the vehicle is attacked and will stop you from permanent repairs until the meter is brought all the way up. The game features both a shop selling various weapons, a health boost (which is upgradeable through the skills menu) and mines and a skills menu which has 3 three-tier skills which cover health, reload time experience and so on.
This is another one of those games that can last you for hours and, unfortunately, isn't really intended for those 5 minute time spaces due to the time consuming nature of the game, nevertheless this is an excellent game and if you don't play it well .you may as well be the devil himself, I'm jus' sayin'.
As always the link to the game on Kongregate
And there doesn't appear to be a second site for the game, all the "More Games" links appear to link back to Kongregate.
Anyway that's it until Friday, but may end up being Saturday if nothing of my interest surfaces between now and then...
See you later (:

Feature: Autumn and winter games (plus games from 2012 onwards)
If you know me you'll know I tend to get very excited over upcoming game releases (and only buy them several months later) so here are a few releases I'm looking forward to:
- LA Noire PC port- I may not have played LA Noire yet but I am very excited to see this release and how much more it has to offer over its console counterparts.
- RAGE- Once again if you know me at all you'll know I'm a massive id fan, following them since age six and I am totally stoked for their new game and new engine which will soon house Doom 4.
- The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim- I've hardly ever played any Elder Scrolls game but I've heard about them before so I've decided to give Skyrim a go, in the meantime I will be checking out Arena and Daggerfall seeing as they're both free.
- Doom 4- It's been announced, rumours are circulating and it is due to be confirmed in 9 days, should it come out when people are saying it will this will be the first Doom game (expansions not included) in almost a decade, in typical id style.
- Quake 5- Being the massive Quake fan I am any word of a Quake 5 of any sort gets me real excited and seeing as id have been hinting towards it I'm starting to get super excited and will be waiting eagerly for John to say "It's official, Quake 5 is on its way", sadly due to RAGE and Doom 4 we may not see Quake until 2013/2014.
Well that's my insight into the games of the foreseeable future I'll be back tomorrow morning with another wonderful flash game to review.
Tata for now.

That's Interesting: QuakeCon
That's right guys QuakeCon 2011 is now less than 2 weeks away SO EXCITED.
"Hey Tom, what is QuakeCon???"
QuakeCon is essentially a LAN party held by id software every August out in Texas....noting more to say.
OR IS THERE?!...yes there is.
id also use QuakeCon to announce/discuss any upcoming projects and this year there are 3 projects on my mind: Rage, Doom 4 and Quake 5
We thus far know that Rage is on its way (out 13th September I think, cannot be bothered to check) and we know that Doom 4 is a possibility and that Quake 5 may have been taken into consideration so for all of us id fans QuakeCon '11 is going to be an exciting event.
Sadly I will not be attending the event this year but may attend next year's so keep an eye out. I will be following the event closely as it unfolds and put my findings in a blog post for you all to see (:
Anyway that's it for me now sorry this was so late.
I may see you all later on today but if I don't I will see you on Tuesday where I will be discussing the best upcoming titles as 2011 draws to a close.
Goodnight.
