New Game

I’ve been trying to hunt down a game for my iPhone for some time now; but have not found anything that has dragged me in. The new GTA game almost got me to shell out; however after a bit of delibaration I decided that the in game controls just don’t look great.

So the question was what else? Without anything standing out at me I thought I would go old school. After searching for “Amiga” in the app store I found the old platform game “Flashback” but was worried that it would suck into my working day to much. Pinball however you can jump in and out the game quickly.

If you don’t remember the game don’t bother; but for all you people that spent so much time playing it that your “shift” key stopped working…. Pinball

Room 101

A full day conference today.  I think staying in room 101 last night pretty much sets the tone for how the day was.

Torture.

The only good thing that came out of the day was that I got to spend some time with most of the major UK mobile manufacturers.  I got the chance to get my hands on HTC Bravo and I’m going to say that it has got some tricks under its bonnet.  The only problem is that because I was there as part of work…. I can’t talk about it any more than that.

Tonight is going to be all about the drinking; tomorrow post may contain some drunken video.  Just so you know.

Stuck on a train…. FUN?

So it was a trip down to Bristol today.  Five hours.  That’s how long the journey takes from Newcastle to Bristol.  Not 2 hours or even 3 hours…. its take Five. 1, 2, 3, 4, FIVE.  I know this due to the five dull and torturous hours I spent on a train…. to Bristol.  Why so dull.  NO WiFi.  They should stick big sticker on the side of trains letting you know who has WiFi and who doesn’t, I would have got on another train if I had known before hand.  I may have even binned the whole thing off flown down.

And what did I have to look forward to once I got into Bristol after a torturous trip.  My Hotel room.

You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.
