July 2004
Oh dear! After finishing a ‘quick’ (OK, five-hour) session of Beyond Good and Evil on the old Gamecube device, I spotted the neighbour’s cat slinking across the lawn and - can you guess already? - the first thing to cross my mind was whipping out my camera and taking a snapshot. Not a good sign, I fear!
Still, that moment still wasn’t quite as scary as the time I caught sight of one of those “World’s Maddest Police Videos” programmes out of the corner of my eye - except it looked just like the GTA screen, with scores overlaid and everything. :~ At that moment, I decided it might be a good idea to take a break from the game.
No such silliness will occur with Beyond Good and Evil, or BG&E to its friends, however. It is great.
What do you mean, five months late? I always planned to open at the end of July! Registering the domain way back in, er, March, was all part of the cunning plan!
I would also like to state, just for the record, that the emergence of The Bennyblog and elTee’s site in the same weekend did nothing to sting me into action. I didn’t need stinging. I was already beavering away, being all dynamic, meeting all my project milestones and everything. Again, all part of the cunning plan.
And, while I’m clearing up all these silly little misunderstandings, you see the links at the side there? Totally not stolen from Remi’s site. At all. All my idea. Really.
Anyway: hello. Welcome to my brand spanking new web site. I hope you will enjoy it. Admittedly it doesn’t contain that much ’stuff’ at the moment, but I hope to be adding things on a regular basis. After all, I need something to update with, right? Right?
In the meantime, have a poke around with the pretty themes, chuck the RSS feed URL into your favourite news-reading software (after all, you want to know the second I even think about updating, I’m sure!), and try to break my fancy PHP script by posting reams of song lyrics. Go on. I dare you.
In the meantime, I’m off to play Beyond Good and Evil. Not that I’ve been messing with this damn web-site all weekend, you understand - I’m way too disciplined for that - but I feel I’ve been neglecting it, not giving it the tender loving care it so richly deserves. Toodle-pipski!
