Interesting things thus far

Craig here!

Well, blow me down, it turns out some people are actually reading this blog, and here we are, not writing anything! We're well chuffed that we're receiving hate mail, demanding more entries!

Without a rockin' overseas trip, full of adventures, new people and junk food, the content is gonna be a little thin. But if you're reading this at work, then hopefully it won't matter -- anything is good to pass the time. Bam.

So here are a few more things I've noticed in our time in Melbourne:

1. The dark mornings can be a little odd. I'm looking forward to the lighter mornings as Spring approaches, as 6.15am still looks like nighttime. So much so that after a small sleep-in on the weekends, I wake up feeling like I've left a light on. We've passed the shortest day, so it all gets lighter from here on in. And hey -- we get daylight savings again (whereas Brisbane, our old home, chose not to). Much light ahead -- TOOTOOOOT!!!

2. In the past, when I'd say, "I'm going to go play guitar with Greg this weekend", people would say, "Oh yeah" or something like that. These days, the first question people ask is, "You mean Guitar Hero, right?" Looks like plastic Playstation instruments have won the war.

3. "Lord of the Fries" is a really popular hot chips and burger place, with two outlets near Flinders Street train station. And there's something special about it... it's vegan! This probably only interests the veggos, but after finding that the Hungry Jacks/Burger King "Veggie Burger" contains animal products (and when questioned about it, the owner of the whole chain just said, 'well... we never said it was vegetarian, so... meh!'), it's nice to know that things can swing the other way. So yeah -- all the burgers contain 'patties', but they're not meat. Yay for there being oil-rich fried crap that we can actually eat between Friday night beers at work and the train trip home. Hoorah!

4. "The King of Kong" is a cool documentary we watched today, about a guy who takes on the World Championship Donkey Kong player. It's really good, and even non-gamer-nerds will like it. We laughed! We cried! We yelled out abuse at the stinking dirty prat!

In other news, I've extended my contract at Krome Studios, helping out Simon with the game design work on AN UNANNOUNCED PROJECT. I'll leave it at that to make it sound MYSTERIOUSER AND MYSTERIOUSER.

But enough about me -- tell me about you!

Hai!
