Changing culture, one gamerscore at a time.

Good afternoon all; apologies for the lack of update yesterday, unfortunately I was so tired I passed out before the clock had even hit eight in the evening, which was a first. However, some good news, which I can now reveal; Plot Wholes, my new column at www.gamernode.com has gone live with its first of hopefully many weekly columns, focusing on Fallout 3 and creating your own narrative this week. I have my own news blog over there too, so expect to see that list of links on the other part of this site begin to grow in size rapidly this month.

Fable II‘s content came out today, and it is with trepidation I consider firing up my old save. My main problem is it’s on the wrong hard drive, but I’m tempted to play through again, this time far more relaxed as I’m not gunning for ten million achievements this time around. It also means I won’t end up with a seven foot tall fat man with red dreadlocks down to his knees, the result of a lot of odd choices. Did I mention he doesn’t even have a top on? Barbarians are hard to create in Albion. Bring on Diablo III please.

Another interesting bit of news was the trailer release for 9, a film taken up by Tim Burton after its response at the Oscars as an 11 minute short film. Set in a post apocalyptic universe on Earth, 9 follows the ragdoll (read: Sackboy) of same numerically-based name as he rings together his similarily built cohorts and attempts to found a new civilization, all the while avoiding being destroyed by a race of machines. Sounds like Terminator meets LittleBigPlanet meets The Matrix meets Toy Story. How you can’t want to see it after hearing that mix is beyond me, that has to cover every film demographic there is. And to be nice, here’s the trailer.

Expect some more updates tomorrow or later, the news scene’s a little dry this Wednesday, I’ll wait until the US lot wake up.
