Mick vs The Future or Why Ive been weird for the last few weeks
Jun 20th
*This is a totally honest outline of my current emotional and mental state, which means its a) sort of embarassing and b) whiny as fuck. You have been warned.* Continue reading…
Amusing spam
May 18th
This is the most amusing piece of junk mail Ive received in quite a while. I think its the badly written pseudo-literary style that does it for me. Continue reading…
Cant Sleep/Wont Sleep
Mar 30th
A combination of military grade insomnia and FF XIII side missions has rendered me brain into a fine grey ooze incapable of rational thought. Alll operations on hold until further notice.
The Best of 2009 – Computer Games
Feb 23rd
Compared to last year it was quite a struggle to even come up with ten games from this year to include on a top ten list. It seems that a huge amount of titles got pushed back to 2010 and those blockbuster titles that did come out in 2009 were nearly uniformly overrated or just plain shite (I’m looking at you here Halo:ODST, Brutal Legend and Assassins Creed II).

Failure to communicate
Feb 19th
Well things started out more or less fine. But leaving material in work and getting back into World of Warcraft sort of scuppered that. I tried to recover but it would appear that my ability to queue up articles to publish automatically failed miserably. Which means that I’m going to have to indulge in some batch posting and back dating. But as I can’t afford to be caught online in work it’s likely to take all weekend.
Mass Effect 2 – The difference between good and great
Feb 2nd
I really enjoyed Mass Effect 1, unlike Jade Empire it actually managed to live up to they hype. While it did have some technical and gameplay issues (texture pop-in, terrible inventory system and those fucking elevators) it was still a great game. In particular I liked the world it was set in. The story itself was also pretty enjoyable and well constructed. So needless to say I was looking forward to Mass Effect 2 quite a bit. Continue reading…
Tiny weapons and disappointment
Jan 29th
Well my update schedule was supposed to be Tuesday and Friday. However Im cream crackered today after staying up last night to finish Mass Effect 2. So after doing the tedious Argent Tournment dailies and going to work I didnt get around to finishing the piece I had planned to post. Hopefully I will get around to doing so tomorrow. Here’s a picture of my Warlock after three days at level 80 to distract your attention (I fucking hate how spindly that dagger is).
(Should point out that these images are lightboxed so if you click on them you get a bigger version, ah technology)

Grand (re)(re)Opening
Jan 27th
So yet another version of the Temple of Mick graces the world wide web. Which means this has been going on for more than ten years at this point. The original joke that started the entire thing has long since died and for the last few years its basically been a blog (and on the backend somewhere to host files and test our various web doo-dads). But as I was looking towards a new design I realsied that the functionality I wanted to add would require more coding work than I was prepared to invest. Continue reading…
Under Construction
Jan 22nd
Decided to upgrade to WordPress as Im too lazy to come up with a tag cloud flash plugin or a decent spam filter. The blog officially re-launches on Monday. Edit: Make that Tuesday.
