Wallet is about to die, needs cash badly!

Yesterday at work, I was pretty bored (as usual) and decided to look at the release listing and pre-order all the games that I want to buy over the next month or two... and what a bad idea it was. Natwest are gonna think i've had my bank card stolen or something if I buy this lot:

• Excite Truck (Wii) - 16th Feb
• Supreme Commander (PC) - 16th Feb
• XBox 360 Crossfire Receiver (PC) - 16th Feb
  
• Crackdown (360) - 23rd Feb
• Final Fantasy XII (PS2) 23rd Feb
• GAMEWare Wii Rechargable Battery & Dock (Wii) - 2nd Mar
• Sonic & The Secret Of The Rings (Wii) - 2nd Mar
• Castlevania: Portrait Of Ruin (DS) - 9th Mar
• Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (360) - 9th Mar
• Pheonix Wright, Ace Attorney: Justice For All (DS) - 16th Mar
• Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 (Wii) - 23rd Mar
• Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (PC) - 30th Mar
• Mario Party 8 (Wii) - 30th Mar
• Virtua Tennis 3 (360) - 30th Mar

All of those in the space of a month and a half... I estimate that even with my staff discount, that lot will cost me about £350... ouch...

A Century Divided by Four

Well, i'm now twenty five years old (yes, 25). I'm happy to report that it feels no different than being twenty four. I had a really nice evening though so it's all good.

In other news, tickets for Download Festival 2007 have now gone on sale! Yay! Admittedly they do cost £145 (plus a £10 booking fee), but for a week in June it's just hot weather, beer, and good music! Like this:



Finally, SquareEnix handily sent out an advance copy of Final Fantasy XII on PS2 to our store, which Tim and I have been sharing every half-week, and I must say, it's probably the best Final Fantasy i've played in years.
