Absinthe, Gaming, 3D Accidents Etc.

The last few weeks have provided a plethora of random things, as some may know, I did infact acquire a Samsung 43inch 3D TV for a nice price from Littlewoods, to my dismay it didn't come with any 3D Glasses, for a TV advertising that its a 3D device and not give you the ability to use it without buying a pair of specs was just silly, its like buying a car which is meant for transport buy having to buy the wheels separately. I over came this problem buy selling my Gears of War Golden Lancer on eBay which covered the cost.

My experiences with 3D, like most others had been confined to the cinemas along with the ridiculous price, so finally having my own 3D output was welcome, however this did not last as long as I'd hope. Recently I was invited to attend a small drinking session with some friends, one of which also had just bought a 3D TV and wanted to see what GT5 and Killzone 3 looked like in said 3D, I insisted on bringing my own 3D Glasses, saying that it is like bringing my own pint glass. With drinking progressing slowly and the host showing off various Sky3D recordings we were happy, until the Absinthe was unleashed and we fell deeper into drunkenness, I felt it appropriate to wear my 3D glasses on my shirt neck as if they were proper sunglasses and in a drunken stupor I gave a friend a hasty hug and I heard a grinding few cracks and I just knew I've broken them.

Although these are not my glasses in this picture the result is still the same

So that's £50 pounds down the pan for the time being, I've foolishly tried to get the warranty to cover it and get them replaced but I very much doubt anything can be done.

In other news, Steam held a very cool sale in the last few days where everyday for 10 days games had been murderously slashed on the price to as much as 75%. I picked up Batman Arkham Asylum for £3.79 and grabbed Alien Breed 2, Killing Floor Steampunk Character pack and Costume gear for Portal 2 for free.

I've also took a tiny step back in time had decided to play Borderlands online with friends @Phill_Jenkins and @dfragglet which has proven to be very fun, unfortunately one game I've loved over the last two months is Minecraft, lack of activity on server I play on is rather off putting, I hope to increase that in due time.
