Shingles, Apologies & Pimpage November 14, 2009

Apart from the pimpage, I’ve been a bit quiet recently over here. Apologies for that, but I’ve been suffering with a nasty bastard of a virus by the name of shingles. It’s made moving a trial of pain, but thankfully it’s started to heal. I’ve started to get back into the writing groove, though, so on that note allow me to pimp a couple of things I’ve worked on recently. I’ve mulled a bit on Uncharted 2 over at GamesAreEvil and also shared my views on Axel & Pixel over at my very own Big Red Potion. And the show will be back this week, by the way.

Expect a bit more pimpage on the blog for a while as I’ve managed to land a few freelance gigs recently and I’ve got work on them as well as catching up on the time lost by being ill. But, because you asked nicely, I’ll share a few ShoNTell-type thoughts too, given that the one thing I was able to do while out sick was game a-plenty – lots to talk about.
