My complete costume, although I should have tidied myself up a bit before the picture
I forgot to post up how I did my rather quick and dirty Team Fortress 2 Medic costume for Halloween. It required the use of sewing, which I got help with from my mum (luckily for me, since it required a [...]
The show!
Video Games Live was fun stuff. For the day, we visited first Funland arcade in the city centre then went off to the show. There were some Guitar Hero: World Tour bits going on before it began, too.
The awesome Martin Leung
The show itself was great. All console music, basically, but quite well done mixtures [...]

I think we were lucky when the Gizmondo went poof (via. Mersey Remakes)
I’ve written up/added all my notes for the Women in Games, Day 3. That completes the set - Friday was a half-day, and I finally got home to upload my photos. Hooray for blurryness! (I didn’t want to use the flash much - it wasn’t much use when I did anyway). Look at them at [...]
