			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My xbox 360 is currently in the dreaded red-ring-of-death stage, so of late, I&#8217;ve been playing computer games on my PC more than anything else.</p>
<p>Turns out, if you don&#8217;t play Real-Time-Strategy games enough for a long time, you get really bad at them. I used to be able to wipe the floor with 3 brutal AI&#8217;s in Red Alert 2. Went back to it the other day, to get swiftly crushed by one brutal, one medium, and one easy AI <img src='http://kirrus.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Still, means I&#8217;ve been spending a little more time in Fallout3.. First time I played it through, I concentrated on the primary storyline mission. The game finishes when you complete that mission! GRRR&#8230; Finally got the will to go back and try to complete the game, fully, this time. Even set off the nuke, just to see it go boom! Then I restored from my previous save.. I&#8217;m not that evil <img src='http://kirrus.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Due to err.. circumstances beyond my control, I&#8217;m living with my father again, commuting back and forward to work. He&#8217;s got a bread-maker, and we set it going for the first time last night&#8230; to find we&#8217;d used yeast 9-years out of date! :S Still, new yeast, means I&#8217;ve just had a breakfast of warm bread and jam. Yum <img src='http://kirrus.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Got t-shirts for <a href="http://JaydenAndCrusader.com">JaydenAndCrusader.com</a>! Postman delivered them yesterday.. they&#8217;re pretty nice <img src='http://kirrus.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We&#8217;ll sell one, probably on ebay, later this year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So here I was, playing a game in fable two with a colleague from work. (Xbox Live FTW!) We&#8217;re at the top of a cliff, which we can jump from. I notice a treasure chest at the top of the cliff, and point it out, timidly. He grabs the treasure, and I jump off the cliff, with a &#8220;A Cliff! Wheeee!&#8221;</p>
<p>Then, he comments something like, <em>Around the treasure &#8211; that&#8217;s more like the character that we see in the office</em>. In real life, I am timid and self-concious. When I put &#8220;Socially Inept&#8221; in my about box, I wasn&#8217;t kidding, something some people don&#8217;t believe.</p>
<p>But it&#8217;s interesting to me, that that particular aspect of my character in real life bled through to the online game world, in which I am much more outgoing. Online, there is a shield between myself and those with whom I&#8217;m interacting. If I want to escape, doing so is a simple matter of disconnecting from the internet, hence my more outgoing nature online.</p>
