You Know The Saying - Points Mean... Live Arcade Games?

I've been playing a lot more 360 recently (along with restarting FFXII to try and do everything in it), but I haven't really been playing actual 360 games. I had a quick go on F.E.A.R., Football Manager 2007, and Condemned, but i've mainly been playing Live Arcade. Why? Simply because in the past three weeks, we've had Alien Hominid, Worms (!) and the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade Game (!!!). I've also just found out that next Wednesday's release for the Live Arcade is Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, complete with awesome 2D graphics and craptacula voice acting. Ahh, the memories!

On another note, I still haven't been paid by James Hardie for my work that I did for them before Christmas. This has literally gone well beyond a joke now - the company I did the work via (i.e. like a middle man) is so astounded by the time it's taken that they have decided to pay me themselves so i'm not waiting on it, whilst they try and wrangle the cash out of James Hardie. So:

Oh, and in case you're wondering, no, I didn't make this image - I actually found it online using Google Image search! :D

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.
