I'm sure those quotations around traditional are clue enough for you to tell that I'm going to throw sludge at them - not that it's my intention. ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-11-19/the-rpg-a-genre-of-opinion/ Day thirty-eight in the City of Padarak. Yes, you heard that right - it's not a settlement, not a town, but a city. In commemoration of our transformation, I decided that the next day would be a public holiday. Everyone loved the day of rest and I got to go ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-11-17/my-life-as-a-king/ So in the hopes that this place will start to pick up speed with semi-regular updates, here are MOAR lists! No, no, no... it's not that play on words found on other corners of the "interweb" or "internetz"... it's actually an acronym I'm using for the list of: My Other Artbitrary ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-11-13/moar-lists/ The Wii in my house has suffered from a lack of attention since I stopped playing Fire Emblem (I should really get back to that one...) Last weekend, however, I found myself in the Wii Shop - and I couldn't resist purchasing new games. Lost Winds. A beautiful and serene game. ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-11-13/short-sweet-wii-game-reviews/ Just another short update on the tail of my last entry. So for those in the know, it's been a pretty big week/fortnight in games and game releases - here Down Under included. As mentioned in my previous entry, there were certain things that I had on pre-order. Well, most of ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-11-12/the-rhythm-the-beat-and-the-headshots/ My Gmail inbox is almost always filled nowadays. Thankfully not from spam... but still, from emails I still don't normally read. Such as newsletters from old sites I've signed up for. Or emails from stores such as Borders where I just signed up for so I could get discounts. Everyday ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-11-11/impulse-buying-now-online/ I know I have a tendency to ignore my blog for months, but this time I have a valid reason - work. So it's not just my blog, but also my hobbies that are suffering. I'm still waiting for Guitar Hero: World Tour to drop here. When that ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-10-29/burnout/ So with the flurry of theme changes and the overlong absence, I figured I'd drop in and drop a line. As mentioned countless times before (here and outside of the interweb) I'm a casual gamer. And with the amount of releases burning multiple holes in my pockets, wallet and bank account, ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-10-21/short-update-with-a-shortlist/ Anybody else besides me excited about Guitar Hero: World Tour? To be honest, I didn't really get into the Guitar Hero franchise before. Mainly because I didn't have the time for, and the money to buy a second console. (Let's face it - as much as I love the Wii, ... http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-10-16/world-tour-kicks-off-on-november/ Watch this hilarious video about a conference attended by different fonts. A bit on the nerdy side, but just the right dose for me. Even a regular computer user will get most of the jokes - if you take notice of the fonts. ;) No spoilers, just watch! http://www.kittenthecat.com/2008-10-13/mailbox-open-mailbox-the-font-conference/
