Julian Assange and the Embassy Siege
I, like my two fellow blog mates, live in the UK, and as you may or may not be aware, there is trouble in the state of England. Julian Assange, who has remained in the UK whilst he appealed against extradition to Sweden for quite a few months now. The official line in all this, is that Mr Assange is wanted for the questioning in Sweden to do with some trumped up Sexual offence, which surprisingly only came to light after the wiki-leaks scandals. The UK, up until this point, had been acting in an officious way, and rightly so, preventing the calls by the US and Sweden for denied appeal and letting it run its course, they even granted him limited bail.

Skyrim. A Game That Taught Me How Boring Greatness Can Be
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a massive open world action
packed RPG. It's massive, packed full of content and can give anyone
who plays it an overwhelming sense of scale and adventure as they
brave awe inspiring snow covered mountains and grand fertile valleys.
You can traverse the most decayed landscape or some of the most
beautiful and alive environments which I have ever experienced in a
game. It's reconnecting with nature, but without the effort of
actually going outside. It's stunning, it's long and it will become
addictive enough that even when you leave Skyrim for the outside,
you'll crave to be able to get back home and play it some more.
But, it's also exceptionally boring and
one of the most repetitious games that I've ever played, forcing me
to grind more than if I was a mule working in a mill forced to pull a
grindstone all day until I go lame and buckle under the futility of
it all. But obviously I can't stop playing. So what the hell is in
the water in Skyrim? On that note then let's jump randomly between
thoughts until we can pull a conclusion out of our asses.
