Woo and/or Yay

It was my birthday yesterday - I am now 24. Huzzah.
To celebrate, I had my traditional birthday pizza and played videogames, just like I always do.

Now I'm going to talk about Heroes.
For those of you who don't know, Heroes is perhaps the best show ever made, and is certainly the best thing currently on TV. The idea behind it might sound a little cheesy when said out loud - its about a bunch of people who discover that they have superpowers - but it's a fantastic show. I'm not going to talk about plot details because I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't been watching it (you can't just jump into it, you have to start watching from the begining), but the only show that has come close to making me want more after each episode as much as Heroes does was the first season of Lost. As well as the TV show, there is a full comic book to accompany the show published on the website every week, a very nice touch indeed.
Anyway, if you haven't been watching it, I suggest you find some way to do so. You won't regret it.

In other news, an article I wrote about Procedural Content has been posted on Game Career Guide, a sister site to the more well known Gamasutra. You can see the article here.

Cross blog comment: I read you, dammit!

On topic comment:
I have terrible trouble trying to persuade people to watch Heroes. Starts off 'Well it's about these people who find out they have powers' and you can see them just switch off. Fuckers. I've taken to just saying 'It's great, watch it or die.'

Now, it helps that I'm usually holding something sharp at the time..

Also: Don't forget the other extra stuff, like the blogs, myspace page, etc etc. Eddie found that Primatech paper have one too, which I didn't know about..
