Apologies for not doing much here for the past month and a half. I have recently moved stores and am on a three month secondment as a duty manager which, if I'm successful, will mean I get to stay on as a manager earning more money. If it doesn't work out, I go back to my old store and job which is nearer to where I live so it's a win win scenario thankfully. As you can imagine with the increased traveling and workload, I have been very busy and as a result have been increasingly tired to do things. However, today is the start of a 9 day break for me which I have been looking forward to for ages. I intend to use this time creatively but also to help me chill out before I head back.

One thing I will say is that I have been amazed by the reception of the pictures  Duragan and I did regarding the anthro MLP: FiM pictures. To those of you who have favourited, commented and watched me, I thank you. I just hope that you won't be disappointed to see that I enjoy working on other stuff besides that!

Other stuff that has been happening is that I've got some new games for the PC and PS3. I recently got Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Guild Wars 2, Tomb Raider and have put a pre-order down for Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time that hasn't been released in the UK yet. Haven't had a chance to play them yet but will be able to this week along with a load of other games that were bought for me before Christmas. Still cannot thank the people who gifted them to me enough for that! Other than that, I've been feeling nostalgic for my older PlayStation games like the ToCA Touring Car series and Gran Turismo. You know what? They still hold up and are fun to play today.

I was going to get SimCity at some point but the whole online DRM thing has killed it for me. However, a hacker managed to get the game to work without needing to hook up to EA's servers. Perhaps this will mount pressure on EA and other publishers to stop with this ridiculous practice as it quite clearly doesn't work.

One last thing which is more positive. The Museum of Modern Art in New York has become the first art gallery in the world to exhibit video games. People can go up to the installations and play them. Games like PacMan, Portal and Vib Ribbon are on display there and if I ever do head over Stateside, I will definitely want to check that out!

That's all for now. See you soon!
