Our local supermarket now has Tim Tams. My God, Australian types, why didn't you tell me? Those things are ridiculously nice...

My missing _Bubblegum Crisis_ CD turned up - god, I'm such a fanboy.

And I've reached the point of reading FATAL, the world's worst roleplaying game. A review can be found here... although I fear it's been revised since the review to remove a few of the things they pointed out. However, the good news for the connoisseur of the awful is that there remains vast volumes of rubbish to be mocked...

Oh, God, No!

If they're appearing in the UK, I am actually going to quadruple in size... They're the nicest biscuits in the whole world, ever, and while in Aus I was quite capable of eating a whole tray at a sitting with a cup of tea...

If they still do them when the Wake rolls around, I'll bring you some specially. :-)

Oh, thank you thank you thank you!

(do I seem desperate to you..?)

I wouldn't like to say - but remind me closer to the time, OK?

Er… you could just go to Tesco yourself?

Oh, I will be doing. I'm just worried that they may be user-trialing them in Bracknell before deciding that in fact the UK isn't a suitable market at all, and thus I'll be deprived of them until I get my arse in gear and get back to Australia. Bracknell seems a plausible place to do such a thing. Nicely middle-England London-commuter-beltish.

Oh, my, you too couldn't keep away from it? After the review of the review I read, I did actually write a review of the review saying "Don't read it or if you do, don't blame me". I did like teh review of the TimeCube! game on the same site, though.

They've gone through fixing all the little gripes from the first review, mostly covering over with faux scholarship. The "Maim Master" is now the "Aedile", for instance; there's a little footnote saying how their extensive research found no evidence of VD in the Middle Ages (!); it's a fantasy Europe devoid of outside influences, which is why all the characters are Caucasian, etc.

I've dropped the review guy a line to see if he has a copy of the older revision still.
