I'm spending rather more time at my InsaneJournal than I am here at present. If you're wanting to get my attention, you're probably better off emailing me - try megpie71 at yahoo dot com dot ay you (convert words to punctuation etc as required). -
And they've done it *again*
Okay, it appears 6Apart don't want any money out of any of us writing types any time soon. For details, see their latest entry in the "how to lose friends and piss people off" competition. Once again, it's in lj_biz rather than in the "news" community (so unless you're a regular watcher of lj_biz you've probably not heard about this directly ( Read more... ) -

Well, so much for that...
Just heard today that my last remaining grandparent died. She'd had a prolapsed disk in her back, and had been in pain for most of the last three weeks, to the point where they had her on morphine. So, on Sunday, I drive down to Esperance (with Himself) for my grandmother's funeral, which will be held on Monday. Then we're going to spend a ( Read more... ) -

Which would be *great* - if I'd signed up for them in the first place. As it stands, I'm reasonably damn ( Read more... ) -
The joys of technology, part the second

In Which Meg Reviews Games - Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus
Overall, I enjoyed it. The gameplay is fairly easy to get the hang of, and once I'd realised that the "attack" and "jump" buttons were the other way around to the ones in Kingdom Hearts 2 (which I'd been playing before I started DOC) I was relatively okay. I'll never be an expert gamer, but I can definitely manage the "point and shoot" interface ( Read more... )
