I did it! I got a 2:1! I can do the MA ( Read more... )

Just three more days until I find out my degree classification. Must do anything to keep my mind occupied until then.

I just got to the end (one ending, anyway) of the SNES game Clock Tower. I believe all of its sequels have been released in English, but the original is only available as a fan translation. It's one of the earliest survival horror ( Read more... )

Recently I've been catching up on the Resident Evil series, one of many things I got into quite late but have developed a mini obsession with. While it's still fresh in my mind, here are a load of my thoughts on the games I've played so far. This is ridiculously long and I doubt anyone will read it all, but I wanted to get it written down anyway ( Read more... )

This morning I handed in my dissertation! Hooray ( Read more... )

I've been reading through an insanely nerdy (yet awesome) blog that Jordan linked me to, all about little details of the Mario universe: Coin Heaven. It's sadly now defunct, but reading through archives has been fascinating and hilarious, both for the articles themselves and some off-site things the author linked to ( Read more... )

Today I set myself the most minimal target I possibly could. I decided that I would go to the library, get some subject-relevant books out, and start working on this particular section of my dissertation that I know is really crucial (since my supervisor commented about it specifically). Not complete it, not even get a significant amount done, ( Read more... )
