It's been a while - I've been very busy working through my research. Reading a lot about Social Theory, but you guys don't need to know about all that jazz. 

I have added another game to my ever changing collection of games following my purchases of World at War (which I've finished, but am yet to play online-see below) and Fallout 3. This time my money was well spent on Okami for the Wii. I managed to pick it up from the Christmas bargain bin at my local Gamestation for about £20. Which isn't too bad. I've only managed to play through the opening so far, but from what I've seen I know that I am going to love this game. It reminds me a lot of Wind Waker on the Cube (another game I loved and still have!) - similar graphical style, speech and humor. I can't wait to get back home today and lay into it some more.

In other news, my wireless router is still broken, and the replacement I ordered has seemingly vanished into the ether. I know that it is somewhere round my town, as the post tried to deliver it on monday when I was out. I requested a re-delivery for wednesday, but it never arrived. And calling my local depot had been fruitless - so far I have either not been able to get through, been told "it's probably around the depot somewhere", been promised a call when they find it (never happened) and finally told it's probably out on delivery "right now" and yet it still hasn't materialized. Obviously I am now slightly delirious with anger, and will be going to the depot in person on monday morning, possibly to vent said anger.

If it has gone missing, I'll probably end up having to tell Amazon and getting a replacement sent out - another weeks wait. So no online gaming for the foreseeable future. Bummer...

Other than that, all is well And finally, I hope that all my American buddies had an enjoyable Thanksgiving!
