Last day of school

So five years of Key Stage 3 and 4 learning finally comes to an abrupt end. Today was our last official day of year 11, and while it wasn't really that sad for me, I did manage to capture lots of witchcraft paintings for memoirs.

This is Lauren making me look unattractive

These are the cool people who murder each other regularly

Here are two random people

And here are the boys. I can't be bothered naming them.

France vs Children

Imagine for a moment, if you will, a full A4 side of French gobbledygook. Add 5 questions on top of that concerning that piece. Then add another 50 random questions and answers all in french. Then consider the prospect of having to memorize all of that in five days. That is basically the task that haunts every second of my life until Friday. Apparently, "they" are getting rid of this curse in the coming years. Yay.

Do not watch this space for the next 48 hours

So, tomorrow happens to be one of the most frustrating days for many people. And while some will think that hiding dog excrement in their "friend's" shoes is a larf, many games will know to loathe and despise April Fools Day like the bastard child of the Gregorian calender it is.

Unfortunately, numerous sources have already been getting over excited and begun to dust off their cobwebby imaginations early. So forget any "MEGATONS!!1" you may have heard over the interweb - it's complete BS. I happened to come across a story on Wii60 earlier elaborating on plans for Nintendo to introduce DLC for 35 of its games, including Twilight Princess, Metroid and Brawl. Super. Predictably, the article was bashfully removed within hours.

So, if I do update the blog tomorrow with some major announcement that is too good to be true, take no notice. In fact, lets just not go on the internet tomorrow: that makes everything easier eh?

My lovely new blog.

If you are reading this post, feel special. Feel special for two reasons: Either this will go down in history as Aaron "D_prOdigy" Clegg's first foray into videogame journalism stardom, or at least feel fuzzly in the knowledge that you could be among the only 3 people who reads "just another nerd's blog"

Well nerd I am not. I mean, I'd love to be, but I just don't know how to be. HTML? FTP? WTF?

Over time, this blog will expand. Whether it draws in 2 readers or 2 million is irrelevent. All journos start somewhere and the younger the better. Today is the day I read a feature on the matter. Every single writer involved unanimously agreed that a blog was the best way to start a career. Write, write and write is what they said. And slap me over the head with a flannel and call me Mabel, I am going to write.

What can you expect from this blog? Well, if your really not into gaming then I'd suggest that little red cross in the corner, becuase you'd be more out of place than the Six Million Dollar Man in a magnet factory. I will be focusing most of my efforts on Nintendo-related stuff, but I could post all kind news if I deem it significant. Plus you can count on lots of random stuff too.

Keep tuned, because I'm at a time in life where there's not much more to do than sit at a PC, and I might as well try and reach out to as many people as I can in the process.

Viva la Revolution!
