No no no…
I’m sorry but no. There is nothing for you here. I am busy writing a novel – come back later (Oh but before you leave – if you subscribe you’ll know exactly when I’ll be back posting bloggy things again, now isn’t that a good idea?)
Chris.

Bioware writer eloquently defends DA2′s sexuality balance
It wasn’t so long ago that Bioware made the news due to the romantic elements in their recent games (what right wing news broadcasters called “virtual rape”) and when one fan calls them out for not offering enough choice for “straight males” in their recent title Dragon Age II, yet they offer a ‘gay option,’ one of Bioware’s lead writers personally responds and doesn’t hold any punches.

It’s another small step for an industry gradually acknowledging gay gamers and gay rights (yes Microsoft, gay people do exist.) It’s just a shame Bioware refuses to apply this logic to the Mass Effect series.

I heard it was quite an offensive representation though Chris? I haven’t seen the content myself mind.

Well that’s the thing, should we celebrate the inclusion of gay characters when they’re made to be stereotypes? I haven’t seen/played it too but I’ve heard things. I do like what the lead writer had to say though.

MindNode
The Apple App Store has launched! While you may be tempted to download a HD version of Angry Birds or update your iLife software to the latest edition, you may want to also check out a FREE app called MindNode.
This little app allows you to create brainstorms, while it is very simple if you’re into writing (like me) this app is great for mapping out ideas and creating plans, here is an example of something I whipped up in a few seconds. It’s easy to use and absolutely free, make sure you check it out:

I’ve decided to promise myself lots of things for 2011. These things will include: Japan, lads and a new place to live but not necessarily in that order…
