The rest of the time...

On Thursday I gave this short Daedalus-centric list of things I chose between when I have some free time:

• Do some new development on Daedalus
• Play games/watch TV/relax
• Reply to a few emails/comments, post a new entry here

I gave a long list of stuff I've been working on that represents the first bullet point over the past 5-6 months. I thought it might be interesting to list a few of the things covered by the second bullet point in the same period of time:

• Dead Rising
• I decided to finish CoD2 on Veteran
• I picked up Prey, PE6 and Burnout Revenge preowned
  
• I finally got a Nintendo DS Lite...
• ...and got hooked on Advance Wars : DS
  
• I started playing more football
• Gears of War
• I rejoined the gym
• I got readdicted to Lumines
• I watched Prison Break
• Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the PSP
  
• I got a Wii
• I changed jobs
• Tony Hawk's Project 8
• Celebrated Christmas
• Visited Spain
  
• Battlestar Galactica S2
  
• Company of Heroes
• Trauma Center
• Viva Pinata
  

There's quite a lot of Xbox 360 games on that list. Curse my inexplicable addiction to accruing gamerpoints! Most of the DS and PSP games have just been from the hours spent commuting to and from work - I don't tend to use either much around the house.

By far the most significant item on that list for me was changing jobs. I don't really want to go into too many specific details, so I'll just say that I'm working in games again now and leave it at that. It's nice to have a new platform to explore, and get paid for doing it. I have a nicer commute to work in the morning too. It takes the same time, but I'm travelling against the main flow of people so I can stretch out with my PSP/DS and have a carriage to myself rather than squeezing into an overcrowded train each morning.

Anyway, enough of the offtopic banter! I just wanted to give you some idea of the other things I've been up to in my absence from the blogowebs.
