One whole year? Really? Surely not... It makes sense, and I'm sure those of you who even remember me will feel it's been a whole stack longer; despite bursts of activity I wasn't really 'active' that June of 2008.

So where the hell have you been, Mr Borrett and all that jazz? Well, my third and final year of university got somewhat hectic. On top of the usual heap of assignments I had a 10,000 word dissertation to write over the year, which was more fun than it sounds (because I am a loser) but still fairly stressful. In regards to being a loser, it was my second year residing as president over the Computer Games Society with excessive amounts of Smash Bros Brawl and Street Fighter 4 tournaments every week. On top of this, my social life just kind of peaked so other than the regular checking of webcomics, my laptop was really a working tool and I felt like if I was sat around at it, I should be working.

Well I guess that's about to undergo a radical shift... lol. I graduated "with Second Class Honours (Upper Division)", which in non fancy terms is a 2:1, the 2nd highest grade boundry.

Had to move out of my student house, back to the family home temporarily. It was sad seeing my home for the last 2 years off and I'll miss not having all my friends from there just round the corner; a bunch of them still have one more year to go, just to rub salt in the wound... lol. Being at hime is incredibly weird again so far. I'll be looking to move to London when it's financially viable, but that will require saving for a little while.

So yes, now I am rejiggering my CV to go job hunting. Optimistically, I'm hoping to get some sort of job writing for a games based publication, be it online or print; I would prefer print, but I'm not fussy. Either way, I would love that even though it's not the best paying. The plan would be to spend at least about a year writing if I can find my window into the industry, build up contacts and move into PR/Marketing for a games developer or publisher. I know where I want to aim, it's all just a matter of how well it pans out. I'm not getting my hopes up too much, the economy timed itself to go to shite right when I would actually need a job, but you know.. you gotta at least aim high, see how it goes and adjust accordingly.


I havn't really drawn properly in a long time, only doodles on lecture notes, but I always want to. I don't know if I'll start doing so regularly again, but anything I do will likely crop up here.
I guess now that I have the time again I didn't want to just disappear forever without a word. Most of you guys who would have actually noticed me go are awesome and I hate to have let you down. Anyway, I want to know what you're all up to, so enough about me because I wanna know how life has been treating my old friends. We're long overdue a catch up

Oh and just drop me a comment here or a note if any of you guys want my Facebook, Playstation Network ID, email or what have you... Or Pokemon friend codes for battling, cause I AM still a loser after all xD
