I haven't shown my face on GameSpot recently, really, have I? Nah, guess not. Call it lack of commitment.

So for this blog, I'm going to be completely random and talk about some assorted stuff - hopefully you'll find some entertainment in this blog of uncorrelated subjects.

First off, I reviewed Doom 3 on Xbox. I didn't have the heart to finish it. I really didn't. I got just past the first appearance of the Trite spiders, and that's about the time when I said to myself, "I am wasting my time with this game." So the result is, maybe, an unfairly judged review, as you're meant to write a review when you're done. But the game is so repetitive, I can't see how it could have possibly redeemed itself from the mediocrity I went through to write that review.

Oh, and GameSpot glitched it up. It isn't meant to be one huge paragraph of text. So I don't see how your eyes can struggle through that wall of writing.

I've almost finished Diablo II/Lord of Destruction. Nodham and I have got to Act IV and are getting headway, little by little. Izual has been slain, as have countless Doomcasters. Just two quests left until the grand finale, and then the bonus act offered with the expansion pack. Still a way to go before I can properly review this game, but rest assured, it is a very high score at the moment. I stand by my statement that its my favourite adventure/RPG game I have ever played. It's fantastic.

I've got some videos forthcoming, possibly - one of which is already finished and edited. It's a Garry's Mod rampage through the popular CounterStrike: Source map de_dust - quite entertaining, actually, and easier on the eyes than my psychedelic Citizen Erased video.

Also, maybe my video blogs will be restored. I badly screwed up my last one, in my eyes anyway, so I removed it. It was too long, it had mundane topics, and blah de blah. It just generally was a crap piece of work. Next time, I'll try harder.

I'm also going to attempt to run Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind on some sort of setting on my laptop. I've been itching to play Oblivion but my comp spat on the game, so I've got to settle for its predecessor. Neither of my computers like either games, it seems... but I've got to try. I'm in the mood for some adventuring other than Diablo II.

I've also got to take this opportunity to pay my respects to James Kim, the CNET senior editor. It's such a sad story when you read about it. He was a great man and I'm sure he will be missed by all who knew him - condolences to his family and friends.

That's it. For now.

Be constructive.
