			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah it&#8217;s been a while, apologises to the few of you still reading.</p>
<p>As you can see I&#8217;ve spruced things up a little and changed the theme again. I&#8217;ve also added the Portfolio section which covers everything I&#8217;ve done to date.</p>
<p>There are quite a few updates as you can see! Most notably I&#8217;m now no longer Reviews Editor with GrE and TPG. I decided that it was for the best so that I can focus on my writing.<br />
Since then, besides being much more relaxed, I&#8217;ve written a piece for one of my favourite sites <a href="http://www.resolution-magazine.co.uk/">Resolution</a> and been writing a few reviews for a good friend&#8217;s site <a href="http://hi-score.co.uk/">Hi-Score</a>. Most importantly, I feel more in control of my work which is always good! Hoping to write a piece for this blog soon on escapism through gaming, something that has been ably written about by some of my peers <a href="http://resolution-magazine.co.uk/content/why-i-play-games-my-escapism/">here</a>, <a href="http://shoinan.com/2009/10/03/my-gaming-through-grief-the-aftermath-of-smashed-plates/">here</a> and <a href="http://forthegamergood.com/2009/10/11/semper-lugeo/">here</a>. The ironic thing is due to the content, I&#8217;m escaping from writing about it and waiting till I feel mentally up to it! I can think of two things I&#8217;d like to write about, and I&#8217;m sure it would be cathartic to do so, but sometimes denial is useful. </p>
<p>Anyway no guarantees, but I&#8217;ll try to write here a little more often now that I have more free time although I do seem to be writing at least one full article every day at the moment! Good old busy season. Certainly not complaining, I wouldn&#8217;t have been able to play the likes of Uncharted 2 if it hadn&#8217;t been for such review opportunities. Uncharted 2 is a bit good by the way, more in the next few days. </p>
<p>Oh and before I forget, I was hoping to attend the Eurogamer Expo next week in London but as my foot is still causing me plenty of problems, this almost certainly won&#8217;t be happening now. It&#8217;s looking pretty unlikely I&#8217;ll be returning to my day job soon too. What fun! Not. </p>
