July is at an end, finally, and August has arrived, bringing with it random showery weather and sudden outbursts of sunshine. Surely not right.
And unfortunately August is not really a month where you can stay inside gaming all day, but I've still managed to pack in a few hours in the evening on assorted games on random consoles. So lets go through what Scottie (cringes at Aclark24's way of addressing me) has been up to recently:

 First off
 I reinstalled The Movies. *gasps* Yeah, y'know, I didn't like The Movies at first, and vowed never to play it again for mental torture reasons, blah de blah de blah. But I did anyway! :D And this time my computer can actually run it suitably well, so i'm very pleased. And more importantly I'm finding the game mildly enjoyable, and I've packed in three hours since I reinstalled it on Sunday night. Now if you excuse me I got to go finish "Ladies Night - Interrupted By A Demented Gorilla." Haha, I really love the gorilla costume, it rawks.

 Secondly
 I had a few games of wireless Mario Kart DS last night with two friends. It was hilarious, really it was. Plenty of bashing each other about, with indignant cries of "Yoshi!" ensuing whenever Peach crashed into his bodywork. In the end it felt more like Burnout Revenge than Mario Kart, but it was still bloody good fun. I won, naturally, and in the end we ended up going on the Waluigi Pinball track and playing pinball for the whole time, ignoring the race. It was kinda fun. We also invented a Burnout-esque Crash mode on Sky Garden's ramps, but thats another story. ;)

 Lastly
 I played about 45 minutes of Unreal Tournament 2004 last night, with good sirs NeoJedi, Andywilliams, and, eventually, once he'd got off the damn phone, nodham. ;) I played rather well considering I'd been absent from the game for well over a week, finishing second on my team in the end, ten points behind Sir NeoJedi, who done a rather nice job of bossing the rest of the team around. ( We were all acting like idiots, you see. :P ) There were a lot of newbs in that game too, I saw one dude on the opposing team trying to charge up a neutral powernode (i.e. don't do it) so I laughed out loud and blew him up with a well-aimed shrapnel bomb from the trusty flak cannon. :twisted:

 And as far as gaming is concerned, that is all Scottie (cringes again) has been up to.

 On GameSpot matters, I didn't post much yesterday in any unions, but I think I might do a bit today, especially in unions I am Officer in. I owe a lot to the SFU after being absent, so I'll try my best.

 I'm also going to buy Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, so that will be a pretty cool game. Sir NeoJedi made me do it. :P

 So thats all, my friends, I'll see you tomorrow!
