Gore
Hmmm, now my finger is about ten feet away from the pulse of the computer games industry. I have a vague idea of what's comming out and play a few games now and then. However I stumbled across this and found it very interesting. Hardend games reviewers 'sickened' and 'bored' with the amount of violence in the main titles at this years E3 event. That says a lot.
Ahh, to go back to the glory days of Sonic 2 and when everyone was shocked by the OTT of tomato sauce blood in Mortal Kombat :-)

Oh, and i'm not saying I'm adverse to a little gore or violence, just that there should be more to a game than chopping bits off people, right? Or sequels that are just map packs (Call of Duty anyone?). I'll go back to posting about books I think..

Dying Art
Just like thatching, shopping and face to face contact the tradition of darning socks has been destroyed by human evolution. Here's me reviving this dying artform...

Tramlines
I went to the Tramlines festival in Sheffield yesterday. It's a huge free festival in the city lasting the whole weekend. They shut all the side streets near the town centre. People were everywhere and the atmosphere was great. Bands of all genres play in many of the pubs but the main attractions are the main stage and two smaller stages, where more popular acts play. I went specifically because Rolo Tomassi were playing (see picture) It was a really nice day out made all the better by it being really sunny. Rolo Tomassi were excellent and I enjoyed many other bands throughout the day. A well organised and fantastic day out.
Oh and it was sunny for the first time all summer, which helped!
