The weekend just past was my first Armageddon experience, so it can no longer be said that I'm an Armageddon virgin. It was pretty eventful, but left me wishing I was 12 years old again.

I managed to get myself in on an exibitor's pass, which was pretty awesome, but with one condition:- I had to be Master Chief for the day.

I'll be honest, this was as awesome as it sounds, drawbacks included. I got to wear the coveted RvB Nightmare Armour Halo 3 Master Chief suit. Soooo many people took photos with me it was unreal, including the lovely girls at the PlayStation promo area >.<

It was, however, mostly like being in a sauna the entire time, and left me just as sweaty. I feel sorry for the next guy who wears that suit, even if it gets washed.

I returned sans MC on Monday to peruse the wares available to the average punter, and found it was pretty lacking unless you are 12 years old. $70 for an action figure? What's happened to the world!? Also not a big fan of sweaty men in speedos hugging each other (wrestling).

Other than avoiding the man-love at Armageddon, I've mostly been playing Fable 2, which is as kick-ass as I expected. I've clocked it once, and I'm now embarking on the second two play throughs, one of which will be the character I use when new DLC becomes available (if they do it, which they should). Of course I'm wandering around in the Minstrel Chief armour, swinging Hal's sword xD. I've become alarmingly attached to my dog, named Cat.

Next on the list is Gears 2, which should be fairly epic...

Oh yeh, and University exams....
