A very successful week apart from the fact I seem to have developed some form of man-cold which sucks ass. BUT Part 9 was released which I was a bit an on the fence decision really as there is a little scene I was going to add onto it, but as the part had reached 8 minutes I figured I’d leave this next scene for Part 10.

A few folks were surprised by what happened when the EEV got opened. I promise everyone that this will fit into the main storyline very well and also will be fully explained as the story progresses – so fear not! This is not some random ‘it was cool at the time’ thing I’m doing, it’s an element that has been built into the Frontier storyline for ages – we’re talking about when I first wrote the first draft in 1997.

Another thing which was slightly unfortunate was the lack of space combat which is a main part of the Frontier storyline as well, however as I’ve said on almost every forum, Part 9 may not have space combat BUT what we see in this part is CRUCIAL to the storyline.

So overall I hope you enjoy it.

In gaming news – my daughter and I successfully completed Resident Evil – The Darkside Chronicles yesterday! So well done to us! Pretty awesome story and also shows a few little clues as to how our old friend Krauser got to be the way he is when we see him in Resident Evil 4.

The only downside (and this is tiny as tiny gets) was the freaken singing on the end credits! C’mon!! Resident Evil soundtracks are usually epic beyond definition, but when you bring some 20-something chick into the mix and get her to start singing some lullaby BS on the credits – well…it just kills it for me.

In internet news I have none at all, the reason why is because I’ve been freaken capped! Used too much data I’m afraid and now I’ve been throttled to lame-ass dial up speed and to be honest I seriously wonder how we all coped back in the nineties with this horrid speed where you are literally pulling your hair out waiting for a jpeg to come up alongside some text – uuuurggh!!!!

Even trying to look up a 30 sec vid on youtube requires you to step away and make a coffee – I’m just feeling very 1995 right now.

One thing I did make was an appreciation group on Facebook – dedicated to a flat where a numerous amount of my mates used to live – the place was horrible, dingy and dirty- but it sort’ve functioned as a good place to have parties from 2004-2007, after they move out the house went on the slate to be demolished as it was too far-gone to be re-rented.

Stay tuned for more later!
