Sherlock Downgraded To Drivel?

I am a massive fan of the new  Sherlock series and everyone's fascination with something so piously British. My only complaints up until now had been that the series simply wasn't long enough. Now given the actors work commitments ( The HobbitStar Trek etc) and the writer Steven Moffat's 'other baby' Doctor Who, it was great to get a series this year at all. However the whole thing felt like such a drastic departure from the previous two seasons, that I was actually left wondering why they bothered.

Call of Duty Ghosts Extinction ~ The Watcher

Imagine the franchise loving gamers frustration when Treyarch and Infinity Ward decided to go their separate ways. There was a small consolation of the companies taking turn about to exploit the gamers wallets with further renditions, but zombies was to be regulated to every second year. The lack of Zombie maps sent shock waves (well mild tremors), through the gaming scene. Well no more will there be a sense of a crucial 'something' missing. Infinity Ward has delightfully saw fit to take survival map to a new level with aliens. About time as far as I was concerned! I loved the first foray into zombies, but the follow ups seemed too tied up in their own glory, for me it lost its watch-ability and for some the playability.

New Year 2014 Resolutions

New Year ... New You, every year its the same trite lists of excuses and promises. Lists of New Year Resolutions composed by insecure people who believe they are in need of a lifestyle change. Worse yet everyone believes they have to right to quiz you on your intentions, for no other reason than to decry your efforts when you fail. I resort to laughter when people ask my intentions for the coming year, and happily inform them that I intend to continue into the next year in the same way I've enjoyed this year.
Nothing will get between me and a mammoth bar of chocolate, I will drink when the notion takes me, and exercise is much more fun when taken as a NERF battle or water fight.
