Finally accepting (medically) that I have to change my career. And then realising that its just not that easy to simply drop something you have been doing pretty much all your working life. In terms of salary anyway.

EA closing down over a dozen game servers grinds my gears slightly.
Only means I wont be able to complete Burnout revenge but im sure some people out there are getting screwed out of a few titles.

One of the blights of this generation i fear , can understand why they do it (servers like ghost towns mere weeks after release, as J.Public moved onto next big thing...), but given how much of a focus a lot of games put on the online side of things today, seems that large % of it has a 'shelf life' as it were.

When people spout the phrase 'but I digress' or something similar, during conversation. :evil: :twisted:

Every person I have witnessed saying this has been a complete teenuc. Apologies to anyone nice who uses it :?
