One Month of Project 365

It’s been four weeks since I started the Project 365 task and although I’ve had to backdate some posts, there are 28 posts for the year so far.

Although I may not have played the game I blog about on that day, it has been played within a few days and the screenshots/images/photos are new and from the gaming session being blogged about. It’s going quite well, even though there are a lot of Skyrim posts, that’s mostly because it’s the main game I’m playing, but I do play other games to blog about that breaks up the Skyrim posts.

Anyway, I hope your Project 365 blog is going well and if you’d like to see mine, just visit mentalaceman.wordpress.com.

Project 365: One Week Later

Although this is my main blog, it’s not being used for WordPress.com’s Project 365.

My idea for that was to play at least one videogame each day and blog about it, I may play a few games some days, but will just blog about one. It has reached day 7 and is there for anyone to read if you would care to do so, each post should only take a couple of minutes!

Anyway, if you want to read about my Project 365, go to mentalaceman.wordpress.com.

Thank you!

Project 365, But Not Here…

I started the Post-A-Day WordPress challenge at the start of this year and due to other commitments, I stopped in April. This time will be different (yeah, you hear that all the time :p ) because it’s part of my plan to get more gaming done and a bid to get my Xbox 360 Gamerscore up to at least 50,000 by the end of the year (2012).

Orders To Delivery

So, The Sims Medieval didn’t arrive like I thought it would and in the email, I noticed this:

Please note: As Special Deliveries are �next working day� deliveries, orders despatched on a Friday will not enter the Parcelforce or Royal Mail networks until Monday and therefore will not be delivered until Tuesday at the earliest.

What? How lame is that? I understand the special delivery part, I rather like that, why do the dumb parcel people have to wait until a certain day before they’ll deliver it?

Also, what’s with so many things using weird symbols and whatnot that aren’t viewable in normal browsers like Firefox? On Twitter, for example, it seems iPhail users are putting some kind of weird thing at the end of messages that must only be viewable by other iPhail users, it/they appear(s) as a dot in TweetDeck. Then there’s � which appears as a question mark in a black diamond to me and seems to be increasing it’s numbers around the internet somehow.

Anyway, yet another day to wait until I can get my hands on what is a bit of a first for me, a Collector’s Edition of a newly released game (I ordered it on day of release).
