My day's pretty good, I took it off work for no reason
other than I'm sick of being at work. I'm being productive though.
(, Fri 6 Aug 2010, 10:03, 2 replies, latest was 16 years ago)
Did you take it off as holiday then?
We have to book days off in advance, but I think this is a good thing else I'd have blown all my holidays by February.
(, Fri 6 Aug 2010, 10:05, Reply)
yeah I booked it off yesterday on a whim,
I'm the one who agrees everyone's holidays so I has teh power. I've got 6 left so I'm trying not to blow them all on a week off doing nothing.
(, Fri 6 Aug 2010, 10:14, Reply)
I have 16 left
And hope to have a week off in September to go somewhere hot.
We have to fill in forms for holiday requests, and there's a section where they ask you to detail why you want the time off. I never answer this truthfully. So far I've had approval to "Bring civilisation to The North" (Blousie's bash), "See a man about a dog" and "Conquer Prussia".

I wish we had that
I may start filling in the comments section. I use most of my holiday taking Wednesday afternoons off, it breaks up the week and boosts my flexi credit. I'm sure they think I'm doing something mysterious.

It's true
If I have time I'm going to get some Dragon Age in, although it's proper story heavy so it's kind of boring.

"it's proper story heavy so it's kind of boring"
Go play Tetris then, you ignorant wench! Dragon Age is a great game.

I'm going to get Mrs V's parents to get me a Wii game for my birthday
what shall I get?

A proper console?
I'm not a fan of the Wii, but you can't go wrong with Mario Kart and Resident Evil.
(, Fri 6 Aug 2010, 10:27, Reply)
Mario Kart is top of the list
I don't play games much*, other than when we've got people round, so the Wii is ideal.

*if I do they tend to be old school PC games.
(, Fri 6 Aug 2010, 10:28, Reply)
When I have mates 'round we tend to play Rock Band and Guitar Hero
But the Wii is a good family/party console. The Wii Play/Sports and Warioware minigames can be fun too.

Which one has the fencing?
Think it's one with Sonic and Mario? I hated that one, as the movements are utterly spasticated compared to proper fencing.
(, Fri 6 Aug 2010, 10:35, Reply)
olympic games
the fencing is shit, but most of the rest of it is pretty good.

As a former fencer for the UK
(No I'm not Edmund) That fencing game made me angry.

is it because it used swords
rather than wooden posts and wire?

Very well
I helped him rescue Princess Peach a couple of times, and he sorted me a good deal on pipes for when I hand-built my luxury mansion at the Everest base camp.

Super Mario Bros is really fun
but it does cause arguments.

Because you are a horrible racist
And complain to Wiggy that you'd like it more if there weren't any "fookin' Wops in it".

I love games that have a proper story
but when it stops you every 23 seconds to do a three minute cut scene it gets kind of boring, I want to play, not watch a damn movie. Hopefully it's just because I'm quite near the beginning, so it hasn't really got going yet.
(, Fri 6 Aug 2010, 10:36, Reply)
Yes that's because you're at the beginning
Don't play Final Fantasy XIII then. For the first 6 hours or so it's 'follow the path, hit X a bunch of times, run some more, 10 minute cutscene, follow the path, hit X a bunch of times, cutscene'...

Heavy Rain is fantastic.

I've heard it's good
I can't afford new games though, I have to wait until someone has bought them at the ridiculous price, completed them in 32 feverish hours and then returned them to Game.

I just went routing through my car trying to find my passport to fill in Uni forms
