GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Sang the M&S advertising, housewife's favourites Take That. This has been one of those months where everything around me feels like it's going at a million miles an hour and I'm stuck in the middle trying desperately to keep up.

Firstly my job. Now not so long ago I blogged about my new position and well after a few short months I have been promoted to the big boss. I have a new bigger mug for my coffee and a great swivel chair but the workload is very demanding, don't they know I'm a gamespotter?? Hence why I have been somewhat quiet of late and not filling the forums with nonsensical ramblings, not a great loss some may say .

Secondly the new dash update for the 360. I like it and like the fact I get a look at (all abet a virtual look) at my friends and what they look like. I did try to install Devil May Cry 4 in the hope that the DVD disk read errors would stop but alas no and the game still keeps crashing and I can't get past level 7 which is causing me to spout all sorts mumblings directed at the game, some foreign I believe!

I have also finished Fable 2. A good game but the issue around the achievements again has raised my blood temperature to levels that would make Dr Bruce Banner go all green. It's a lot of fun to see just how good and ultimately bad you can be but the ending was somewhat of an anti climax. I do recommend it though as an experience more than anything else.

But now I have no games really left for my 360 both DMC4 and Test drive are broke and as I have just sent out my Christmas list I fear buying games in case the sticky situation comes up when I get what I have just brought from a loved one. I hate having to look chuffed in front of them when inside your crying LOL It's just terrible coming home, sitting down and then just twiddling your thumbs, looking at my 360, with it looking back asking 'what you going to do about it?'

But I have been dabbling in LBP it's a great little platformer but the level creation tool is amazing. You genuinely are only limited by your imagination and of course time. I have yet to fully explore its potential but maybe when (if) I get some time off I can have a proper play with it.

Oh and finally the obligatory pic of my avatar. A fair representation of me but oh the eyes are wrong and I can't seem to find any that look right. EDIT: Thanks Wavey

Congrats on the promotion to boss. I might have a go at installing LO. Im not giving up on this game. I'll make it work one day. How do you install the games?

Try an underscore instead of space?

Congrats on the promotion mate. I haven't really played much LBP lately and I've hardly touched the Create mode at all. I have no idea how these people with huge lists of games in their sigs get time to play them all. I've got 3 to play at the moment and even that's too much.

Sounds like it's all go for you at the moment. Well done on the promotion, are you an Overlord or a Pikmin kind of boss?

The whole Fable 2 achievement thing is a bit lame. I was cynical about the whole pub games thing from the start. If they had been free to download then it would have been a PR masterstroke.

Not sure about the avatar thing but when I updated mine offline it didn't show up correctly in my blog. I had to connect to live then go to the edit avatar thing and just save and quit. Then it showed up OK. If it's the space thing then I don't know.

LOL - you know what I am going to say about this don't you Bub! You can't seem to get him up?? There are treatments for that you know!!

It may be a syntax error with your gamertag having a space in it try %20 which is what I think comes up when you actually place your URL in to a browser.

Oooo and congrats on the promotion! (you could always get Gears to occupy your 360 for a bit!!

Congrats on being the man. You can tell the little people what to do. Oh and as for your avatar problem, you could try this link. http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/Swannzee/avatar-body.png

EDIT: I see that is the link you used, must be to do with your name either having a number in or there being a space.

Did you know a good boss will only have 2 things on his desk at 11am. A cup of coffee and his feet!

@macacd Ah I wish that was the case mate but I'm snowed under. I know this is the big rush to get things sorted but have a million things going on at once.

I find your lack of nonsensical ramblings a loss - Surely you can be gamespotting while looking like you are doing something important and work related?

It's all just pose-typing like Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City once you make it to the boss job isn't it?
Posted Nov 28, 2008 5:21 am PT
@ MissLibrarian well hopefully once the dust has settled I can be more of a hands off boss but it's busy at the moment. Oh and I would love to comment on the comparision about Sex and the City but being male I have never watched it LOL
