Don't Kill the Haitians
Oh dear. On top of the brain dead moralising from the New York Post, GTA: Vice City is under attack again, specifically over the ‘Kill the Haitians’ mission. Anybody who bothered to play the game could tell you that you don’t pick on any one race- everyone is killed equally- and it’s all about extreme stereotypes anyway.
Seconds Out
I’ve never really been a fan of fighting games. So I was quite surprised to find I was addicted to Tekken 4. New Year’s Eve descended into a drunken brawl as the seven of us had a tournament, with one controller going clockwise and the other anti-clockwise around the room.
Auto-pilot
Can a writer ever take themself completely out of their stories? Danny Leigh thinks not.
Which reminds me. I have two quite autobiographical projects that are currently stalled that I’ve promised people I’ll finish- Post & Publish, which Penny wants me to finish and Eliza Effect, which Jenny has been asking about. There’s not much chance of Heavensent being considered boigraphical.

After they were famous
No! Bad Clanger! Bad, bad Clanger! They’ll lock you up for that sort of behaviour.
The (mis)adventures of Bad Clanger are to be continued………
Deux
Natalie Portman has hinted that there might be a sequel to Leon, again directed by Luc Besson. I can only guess that her character is now all grown up and has taken on the assassination gig for herself. Judgement is reserved until I learn more.
