Neowin

Got lazy this time around. Tried to get this finished by New Year's Eve, but obviously failed. Oh well, better late than never, I suppose. BTW, I actually posted this list on New Year's Day over on my Facebook, but I forgot to post it here.

To make things even lazier, there's no writeups on each album this time, so here's the...

Ahh, Steam Sales. They're so unbelievably good, that they tempt even the most frugal of gamers into opening up their clamped wallets. For I, and a few million others, the now-gone Steam Holiday Sale 2011 was yet another case...

I got a private message earlier from John Callaham, saying I won one of Neowin's five Steam keys of Serious Sam 3 BFE...

Thank you, John! I will download it once I've got enough free space....

On yesterday's Steam sales, PAYDAY The Heist was half price. Unfortunately, I missed it...




So this is an appeal to anyone who bought the four-pack yesterday. If you've still got a spare copy available, I'll be happy to buy it off you, and I'll even round up to £6. :)

So yesterday was Black Friday over in America. Thankfully, a few stores tried to bring it here to the UK. :) Unfortunately, the offers were mostly underwhelming. :/ Although I did pick up one deal yesterday; I got WWE '12 for £26.97 from Amazon's lightning deal, and that only came out yesterday. :)

The biggest guilty party has to be...

Thanks to yet another great Steam deal a couple of weeks ago (it never ends!), I bought DiRT 3 and F1 2011 together for the great-ish price of £20. :) I started playing F1 2011 a couple of days ago, and my initial overview of the game has to be: mayday, mayday, I can't control it!!!

I read in a couple of reviews that...

Well, last night, I had an amazing time seeing Evanescence (plus The Pretty Reckless); now tonight, thanks to an old friend, I am going to see Fozzy tonight! :D

Now for those who follow wrestling, you'll already know that Fozzy is fronted by former WWE superstar Chris Jericho, and Jericho was one of my favourite wrestlers in the early...

Last year, I went to just four gigs, which is still three more than I went to the year before that (bear in mind the lone gig in '09 was my first ever one). Two of them were epic as hell, and another, I was on the guestlist for thanks to doing a little bit of street team work for the band. :) And thankfully, this year won't be an empty...

No contest here...

I've finally got an iPhone! :D

I went down with my parents to the Carphone Warehouse yesterday to help them look at which phones they could upgrade to, as they've been eligible to upgrade for a fortnight now (October 14th, to be precise; the same day the iPhone 4S was released here). And would you believe it, they ended up buying an...

I'm now a Subscriber²! :D

A huge thank you to Neowin for picking me as one of the lucky winners of a tier 2 subscription as part of their 11th birthday celebrations. :) I am certainly going to make the most of these new privileges, especially the blog. :)


Speaking of the new privileges, let's go see what this special...
