Hiatus

Been a bit busy for various tiresome reasons, hence lack of posts. One thing worth perhaps brief comment is that last week, for the second time, I bought a second hand copy of a game I'd already traded in. The first was the underappreciated Gun, this time it was Orange Box. It's an odd thing to do but it's symptomatic of the sort of slow-burn interest that can happen with video-games. Sometimes, for no apparent reason, I'll have the urge to pick up a game I've not played in years and will obsess over it. No clever insight here - the same happens with books, films and music - but I thought it worth pointing out what a bloody idiot I am to pay for a game twice.
