Doom 3

Had a quick play of Doom ]I[ last night..

I was expecting it to be like yet another generation of Wolf/Doom/Quake - ie. a First-person perspective shooter with lots of gore and exceptionally good graphics, but not actually much in the way of gameplay, character interaction, plot, ai, etc.
I am happy to say that I appear to have been proved quite wrong.

In the brief go I had last night, I encountered no enemies - yet I was on the edge of my seat, nervous, jumping every time the lights went out.. So far the game plays a bit like System Shock, except without the character stats.

Zephyr

Hmmm....
I'm terrible. I'm going to have a look at one of these after work:
Kawasaki Zephyr
(Except the one i"m going to see is my favourite colour - blue)

It's a bit more powerful than existing bike (550cc vs 400cc, after all), but not massively so.

Quick bike update (an ode to poor impulse control)

I've put a deposit down - it arrives Saturday.

It's BLUE! :D
