Mega-Monday

The horror! THE HORROR! Yes folks, this weekend, I was forced to mingle with…people. The awkward chit-chat. The mention of car refinancing. Whinging bout bank fees. What a strange and horrible world to exist in, one devoid of normal stuff like video games, dressing up as comic book characters or the fine art of Call Of Duty sledging. But it was all worth it, as I walked out of a yard sale, triumphant and cradling a box full of cheap Lego! Uuurgh, people. What a bunch of bastards.

In Other News: Get your PS4 buns firm, jump into Poi, I’m on the road to the Iron Forest and big maps for big teams in Halo 5.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because I was too busy thinking of carpentry jokes that would work.

        I hope to see you all there. I was at EGE and only saw Avo and Weanerdog. Rince was probably there too…but I wasn’t really planning on seeing him again. ;P

          I drove past it on my way to the Waterfront, saw the board at the convention center when I went by. Did not even know about EGE.
