It's that time...After 9 1/2 months off (I use the word 'off' loosely - it's hardly been a holiday!) I'm back at work. My role at what is now CBS Interactive has changed; I'm working within a central team. I'll still be working with GameSpot UK, but not as site manager. GSUK will remain in the capable hands of Guy, Alex, Luke and Mark. I'm hoping that if I'm nice to Guy he'll let me come and be a guest on the podcast. Go on Guy, you know you want to!

Coming back to work also means becoming a commuter again. Ergh. I've preordered the new Professor Layton game (and the new Ace Attorney Miles Edgeworth game, but that's not out until February) but run into a slight hitch - sometime in the last 9 months I have put my DS charger 'somewhere safe'. Hopefully I'll find it before Layton is out on the 25th! Scribblenauts also looks really intriguing. It's very odd to have the time to even think about games...
