CD Universe (the mob that failed to supply Rock Band) have shipped Justin’s latest game order, which contains two copies of Eye of Judgment, a trading card game that comes with a little camera. One copy is mine.

The idea is that you have a game board that you have to control the squares of - I believe it’s a 3×3 square. You play a card and your opponent tries to defeat it. The twist is that the PlayStation looks at your cards as you play and does… stuff…. on the screen… and… I guess things blow up. Then you get to take the board home or something? I don’t know, I don’t really play card games. I agreed to get a copy because I like trying different things (steady on Xavier, not quite that different) and the camera will hopefully be useful for other things down the line (like, for example, creating a user icon for PlayStation Home).

Speaking of games, I was entirely wrong about Ridge Racer 7. The trick is to not think of it as a driving game, but as an updated version of WipeOut 2097 - at which point it becomes awesome.

Spam email continues to amaze with exciting, provocative subject lines. The latest that appeared in my junk folder:

Now, could I avoid clicking that email?

Yes, yes I could.

This link is the tracking link to Drew’s new projector.

When his projector arrives, he sells his old projector to me, and I sell my 80cm TV to Giz. So that’s three folk in total that will be hitting their F5/Cmd-R keys a lot.

I’ve decided to spend a lot more time jotting down stuff for the blog and turn it into something more than a collection of links that interest me. Why? Well, the domain expires in a month and I’d like to think that people are getting something for my money when I renew it.

I’ll be adding some posts regarding gaming and my initial experiences with Blu-Ray, so those who don’t care about such things may want to tune out until the inevitable link to a cute dancing kitten arrives.

This has been inspired in part by read Rod William’s blog, which he seems to dump from his brain into his computer just before falling asleep. It sounds like a good way for me to work as well, especially as I usually have a laptop disturbingly close to the bed.
