Rainbow Six: Vegas Demo (360)
Oct 24th
Another demo which looks nice, but which is incredibly bloody hard. I gave up on it last night. The loud noises where hurting my head.

I’m still struggling with Bishops Stortford in the Conference South. It’s just after Christmas and we’re second from bottom.
It’s depressing, but sometimes we just do well enough to give me hope and keep me from resigning. I’ve loaned a defender worth a mammoth £4,000 from Dagenham & Redbridge and he seems like he’s going to fit in well. I’ve also asked to loan a young striker, just to see if that’ll help. I feel for my striker Essandoh, he’s a decent chap and he puts in good performances, but he just doesn’t score.
Though scoring goals isn’t so much of a problem. We’ve scored 23 this season, which is over one per game on average, I believe. It’s just we’ve let in forty.
You know, I’m really getting in to this now. I so want to pull off a miracle and avoid relegation and then take the club to glory next season.

Well, now we’re at -
PLAYED: 14
WON: 3
DRAWN: 2
LOST: 9
We’re out of the relegation zone and morale is soaring.
Three things seem to ahve prompted this small turnaround.
1) My cpatain went out with the flu and his replacement is doing better.
2) I moved to a more attacking 4-4-2.
3) I promoted Anton Innocent from the reserves to the main squad. He’s not fit enough to last a whole match, but he’s great when he’s on.
Tony Hawk Project 8 Demo (360)
Oct 22nd
Gosh, this looks nice.
Unfortunately it seems a billion times harder to land tricks than in any other Tony Hawk game I’ve ever played and I don’t know why.
Lumines Live (360)
Oct 22nd
I think the leaderboards may have been reset overnight, as I don’t think my score of 80K should really have got me to 32nd in the world…
Lumines (PSP)
Oct 22nd
Been playing a bit of this to get my Lumines fix while my wife’s playing Harvest Moon on the TV.
I’m really not very good.

After a 5-1 defeat to non-league Solihull in the FA Cup my finger was hovering the “Resign” button for a while.
But nobody else will give me a job, so that would mean restarting the whole game.
Hmpf.

Lumines Live (360)
Oct 21st
I wish this wasn’t so good, so I could have boycotted it due to the price structure.
I am, however, weak in the face of genius.
So, Lumines bought. And advance pack bought, too.

I took control of Bishop’s Stortford.
I’ve, er, not been doing so well so far. In the pre-season friendlies I lost all but one match.
Oops.
If the season goes badly I’ll either look for a new job or start a new game at a different club.
