Greetings traveller. I forgot how to cook Chicken yesterday. This is quite a big thing for me, as I'm rather fond of that particular poultry-themed bird. I feel that the Homer Simpson quote - "The more I learn, the more is pushed out of my brain" - ever more accurate. I'm 20 years old, so I really don't think this is going to be senility.
Gamespy recently ran a 'Most Wanted of 2008'. So I'm like, 'yeah I'll have a piece of that!" So here goes my top 10 (multi-platform!):
#1: Half Life 2: Episode 3 (PC)(well, it is most wanted...)
#2: Final Fantasy IV (DS)
#3: Left4Dead (PC)
#4: The-motherfucking-Forced Unleashed (PC/PS3)(...zomg)
#5: Penny Arcade - RSPoD (PC)
#6: Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
#7: Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
#8: Grand Theft Auto 4 (PS3/PC)
#9: LittleBigPlanet (PS3)
#10: Spore (PC)
#11: Crysis (PC) (I know its top ten, and not 2007, but my lame rig is not enough to chug through Crysis at the moment...)
Looking across the varied system spread there, it may be fair for me to say "Fuck the 360..." Halo 3 will keep the 360 running for a few more months I think.
Well, I hope that's made your day better, knowing that I will play about half of these, as I'm too bitch poor to pay for the rest. Please give generously.

Sweeney Todd
Mental note - go with gut instinct.
If you like bad singing and... urggh... Burton... then Sweeney Todd is the film for you.
If you don't exactly match the criteria of the above, then wait for Cloverfield next week. If that's not any good then I'm going to curl up in a ball and weep forever. I would normally check some reviews, but, on the off chance that some crazed retardo-journalist spills the beans on the plot, I am forced into a situation where I'm heading into a film blind to the knowledge of what awaits me.
I am backed up only by the fact that J.J.Abrams work on Lost is very interesting and that the experience may be an indication of what the new Star Trek film may be like (which is odd, as I am a massive Star Wars fan, and the two media never bode well when mixed.) Anyway, I really hope its good.

First Image Up!
Good news everybody!
My printer died. Now I have a reason to buy a scanner/printer/fax/tea-maker. Expect plenty of random sketches as soon as I have it. You lucky people. Fortunately, during my more boring lectures (i.e. the ones where they read off the screen) I have a tendency to draw or doodle, so these sorts of posts may be quite frequent. Daily, even.
For now, an image I've been working on for ages (but not recently). I call it 'Dark Knight', but in light of the new Batman film, I may actually be sued. If not, at least the Googlebots will tag this page as being something to do with the new film, when in actual fact, it isn't. Oh the hilarity.
Also - in answer to the complaint(s) regarding the 'American' style of my writing; I will now stick to a more comprehensive and concise British prose. One apologises profusely for the inconsistency and the issues raised will be addressed promptly. Forthwith. Rather. Indubitably.
Tea and Crumpets me old China... (Whoops, too British.)
In other news, I'm going to see Sweeney Todd tonight, which should be 116 minutes of Tim Burton raping my eyes. Though my opinion is open to the off chance it actually being good...

I Believe
Rummaging through some old game trailers and etceteras on my PC, I came across the gem of a video that is the 'Believe' trailer for Halo 3. Though it wasn't aired long ago here (its still being show in front of some films even), it still moves me in so many ways. I know what happens in the game, I know how it ends, but I still feel like there is no hope for the humans in the game when I see this video.
This is emphasised still by the accompanying trailers, showing the construction of the model, and the 'Marines' talking about their experience many years later... Possibly meaning that the jolly green giant will never set mechanical-foot back on Terra-firma.
I also found the trailer for LittleBigPlanet. That is going to be immense, but in a very small sock-like way.

First Post - Part II
Quick follow up - I've tinkered with settings, so now the timestamps are in GMT (the only 'true' timezone) and allowing anonymous comments. Of course, the biggest change is that it is now hosted on the dotgif.co.uk website. So instead of the old (well... 'hours old') tedious title, its simply 'blog.dotgif.co.uk'.

First post...
It had to happen, really. I mean, you get a blog account, and what, your supposed to just leave it?
I've made this to make life a lot easier for posting news/images to dotgif... Save me horsing around with all that HTML tripe, I figure chucking thoughts and files onto a blog might be easier. We'll just see how that goes. 'Cos it still means I have to get off my ass and actually draw stuff. I can also use it as a diary, except that I cant add glitter and shiny stars to the cover, and spend ages drawing my own name in bright crayons. Like a girl.
A little update in terms of the website and comic - We're not dead. It would appear that balancing the dizzying highs of University life and playing Halo 3 quite a lot, forces us to neglect the comic. We keep coming up with ideas for comics, and we're all like "Heh, that's so funny, we should make a comic about it!" - 20 minutes later, we've forgotten the idea, and are talking about which is better, Mac, PC or Linux (that old fruit...) I'm also looking into getting either a scanner (to post raw images) or a graphics tablet, as the tediousness of mouse-drawing comics is nicht so gut (German, for 'not so good'. Or not.)
Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now - hopefully will be posting some more - maybe even with colourful images! Or even better, black and white outlines, allowing you, the viewers, to scrawl bright colours all over your lovely monitors. Interactivity ftw!
