Ask anyone these days what they think about students and no doubt the general consensus will fall into the lazy Pot Noodle consuming layabout stereotype.
I’m probably not helping the cause by going on to say I have a splendid 24 days holiday this Xmas season. For weeks now I’ve been slaving over assignments and other projects that kept being handed to me in what seemed to be a never ending supply of work.
Sadly during that time my gaming has suffered, sure I’ve managed to pick up the odd couple of hours here and there but I’ve seen nowhere near as much game time as I’d have liked to. As a result I’ve now got a number of games sat on my shelf waiting to be played.
With Fallout 3 finally managing to get a brief session the other night I’m slowly getting back into the stride of things but the likes of Gears of War 2, Mirror’s Edge, Banjo Kazooie and Tomb Raider are all left untouched, along with any new games that I’m hoping will make their way down my chimney in just a few weeks time.
Xmas is said to be a time to have fun, spend time with family and friends and let’s not forget getting fat on too much turkey and stuffing. For me this year it’s about catching up, in the words of Yoda: “Been away too long I have hmmm.”
Less than one week of education to go then I’m free… free for three weeks of pure gaming bliss. The supplies of Cherry Coke and bags of sugar filled confectionary are collecting as we speak, replacement batteries are on standby for emergencies… the countdown begins.
Now if you’ll excuse me, my thumbs are late for their weight training session (one cocktail stick and two cocktail sausages for anyone who is interested).
