So another year has been and gone, The Lord of Leisure is now the wrong side of 25, which only means the belly gets larger, the chins become numerous and the flatulence gets unbearable.

Basically, for all intensive purposes, I can no longer pretend to be young. For once I have to now face the stark reality of being 2/3 to 1/2 way through my existence and pull my socks up. So no more eating super noodles from a shoe, no more wiping my face using next door’s cat, and no throwing up in people’s hats.

Time to act my age. Time to get together a plan to define what I am to do with life and stand up, be counted, no time to stay below the masses without making any impact. No more should this manly man stand by while evil wanders across the land and up ladies’ skirts.

I feel sick now. Maybe I should slow down and just take it one step at a time, like trying to get dressed without getting stuck in the dishwasher again…

On the plus side of course, we are still technically alive after the switch on of the giant donut over in Switzerland which may or may not destroy the world. Well, strictly speaking, they haven’t started the dangerous reactions yet. That’s in October, so hold onto your butts for a while longer campers.

And of all things, today of all days, it is also the birthday 100th Podcast of Gamers with Jobs featuring Ken Levine once again of Bioshock fame, a bizarre song from a fella called Sumberland and yep, another advert which I created a long time ago about Bioshock’s character Andrew Ryan’s first venture before he created the underwater city of Rapture.

Just the fact that got played for the man who created the game was more than enough, so go here and listen to the whole episode, it’s gold from start to finish and frankly, here’s to another 100 episodes of GWJ.

HOORAY!!!!

Stay tuned tomorrow for pictures from the day’s events where for the first time possibly you will see the Lord of Leisure looking respectful. We apologise for any fear this may cause!
