I've been enjoying my half term break; a week with no children, just some planning, lots of sleep and food. This is all good, as far as I'm concerned.

I've played Age of Conan; it's certainly better than WoW, but... it needs a machine in the realms of Gods to play, needs about 25gb of space on your hard drive, and even on the lowest settings is somewhat jerky for me. It's really really good; all speech has a voice-over, the combat is intuitive with you hitting around peoples' defences and stuff. There's a really odd point at about level 7 where you don't have anywhere specific to go and fight things, and I died about ten times trying to find somewhere. Eventually I muddled through to level 10, but it was a struggle.

All that said... I've got no real reason not to play it. But my mates all play FFXI, so I guess I'd rather play that, and keep an eye on Conan to see what happens. It was noticeable that things were being improved on a day-by-day basis, as I logged in yesterday to find two new menu bars on the right of my screen. So at least they're fixing things ASAP.

Regarding the lack of a strip: We're entering a couple of competitions again this year, and also have an idea in the works for a manga to be released on the website, so, hold that thought ^^ Kat's really busy and, although I'm currently not, I've got five weeks left of my course. Nearly there!

I've finally got round to sorting out the shop. There are now 3 comics for sale, including "London Flavour", a Shonen Ai manga collaboration that is in comic form only! We also got badges, and a free one with every order! I'm still undecided on the t-shirts.

I've been sprucing up the site lately, and spent a lot of time today bending the TSW shop into some sort of shape. I'm pretty pleased with how it looks now, but it's still a little empty. I've got a lot of t-shirts and half made Kat hats sitting around so I need to sort something out with those. I've been thinking though, it would probably be better publicity for us to give the t-shirts away, postage included, possibly in exchange for something like a TSW related doodle or comment. What do people think? Would any one be interested?

I'm a little drunk right now so maybe this will seem like less of a good idea in the morning!

This one was written by Oz. Enjoy!

Linkalicious!

Just because I think Kat's new header is cool, I'm going to pimp it here too. It changes! According to time of day! How awesome! Also, you should see it in the morning, I GET STUFFZ!

Ahem. Anyway; Heroes Season 2, I have yet to catch up with for a variety of reasons. Lost, Season NINE THOUSAND I'm three episodes behind. The Apprentice looks good tonight, I'm still rooting for Raef, my hero, and I'd like to see Lee disappear, preferably even further up his own fundament.

Movies: Iron Man, I mean, whoa. Finally broken the mould of 'crap standalone films' that was propagated by Hulk, Daredevil, Elektra, Punisher... nice one, Marvel. I don't care much for whether it's canon or not, I enjoyed it at face value, and if you didn't stay to the end of the credits, you're a fool! A FOOL! And Samuel L Jackson would pity you. Haven't really had time to watch any other films. New Hulk looks good, and Indiana Jones looks superbly retro, due out next week.

Games: I got C&C3: Kane's Wrath, and that's been kind of... it. I'm not even a third of the way through, unless I'm going to be disappointed, which makes it a long and moneys-worth game. **EDIT: I've finished it, and I'm really disappointed. Something had given me the idea that it was a lot longer than that, and it's not, it's a lot shorter and leaves a few questions STILL unanswered. Kind of disappointing in the event, more something to keep it idling. Single player, anyway.** I also intend to check out the Conan MMO at some point. Maybe when my eyes are not burning from tiredness, eh?

Oh... I got a job at a school ^^ I start in September. First interview, offered a job, because I'm jammy.
