My 360 died :(
Actually not the red rings of death, but just as useless. After spending two weeks in San Francisco working from our US office, I was looking forward to some quality time with my console and some... Photo Album--Toronto
Here's some pics from Toronto in Canada. You Animals!
Here's a selection of animal pics. I don't think David Attenborough needs to worry, somehow. More Tokyo pics

I've got a new obsession, and for once it isn't some wildly unsuitable and clearly uninterested bloke. My gaming PC is currently in the computer equivalent of the intensive care ward in a... Leipzig airport
Leipzig is not a big airport. Apart from a little cafe selling delicious snacks and treats like Bum Bums (see previous post), there's not an awful lot to do there. Just before you go through to... Ice Lolly--German stylee

Yesterday I was slightly amused and a little disturbed to discover that people are already standing in line in the US (in California, natch) for the PS3, which isn't out for over a week.... 'Grand Theft Mario' parody on Robot Chicken
I saw this on the internet, and did literally laugh out loud--Mario takes a trip to Vice City, pimps his ride and rescues a 'princess' on a street corner. (I guess viewer discretion advised,... I thought I was over it...
But I realised yesterday I wasn't. "It" being, of course, puerile jokes about Nintendo's latest console name. It started in the morning when I got an email from a friend in Japan who... Game On and on and on...
I checked out the media preview of the Game On exhibition at the Science Museum on Friday morning. Perhaps it is the current furore over Rockstar's Bully that has pushed video games into the... Is this the future of gaming?
