Good grief, but I’m tired today. Didn’t do much gaming over the weekend because my wife and I were doing an epic sort out of our house. Boxes were gone through, bins were filled and the cat got very, very confused. It’s nice to be in work now for a bit of a break, though I suspect I may have to break down some boxes and throw some more stuff out this evening.

Anyway, I still managed to keep up with my games of Words With Friends, though I seem to be losing more than I’m winning at the moment. I’m blaming brain fatigue. And my letters. I always blame my letters.

Didn’t have time to play anything other than Words With Friends last night because I went to the cinema to see 2012. Takes nearly an hour to get there, then the movie was about eight hours long, so I didn’t get back until way after bedtime. No time for gaming. Anyway, the film had some brilliant set pieces and Oliver Platt, Woody Harrelson and Zlatko Buric were great, but it really felt like a great ninety minute film unnecessarily bloated with speechifying and too many subplots. Still, I’m very glad I went to see it at the cinema, because the good bits were tremendous. (Even if one of the best bits had been completely spoiled by being shown in a Sony commercial before the film. D’oh.)

Anyway, Words With Friends, eh? Lovely game.

Not the most exciting screen ever, but I just took one while I remembered. Not every move is a huge deal, most of them are just the best of a bad job.

Sometimes, I feel bad when I make game-changing moves like that. Not bad enough not to do them, but, well, it does feel a bit like I just ruined the game. Hopefully my opponent will come back with some huge move later on to wreck me.

(And unless the game allows Wookiee-language words, it’s not like I’ve got great letters now.)

Here’s a thankfully rare example of me being not beaten – that happens often enough, thank you – but absolutely, comprehensively slaughtered. I will not be sad to see the back of this particular game.
