Amused by Reviews

Two reviews of Mario Kart 8 today. One reasonably balanced one, and one where the reviewer is so wrapped up in the the very specific way that they play the game that they're utterly incapable of writing anything like a balanced review.

Tiredness, thy name is Andy

In other news, yesterday I had a tooth taken out, and today I spent 8 hours in the first half of a Six Sigma course.

Both of these things were worthwhile, but the combination has left me completely collapsed. The hour and a half of "taking Noah home and then playing Super Mario 3D Land with him" has just about pushed me over the edge into "I am made of jello" status. I think an early night might be in order.
