It's the nature of man. Religion, political extremism and greed incite war and I expect it always will to a degree. Anyway, sort of against site rules as such discussions always end badly.

Surely there is something to look forward to? Are you still doing your writing? And how did your design course go?

As for games, there are some great games just released, or in the pipeline. Grid Autosport just released is a very good return to form for Codemasters. Much better than Grid 2. And Elite: Dangerous is shaping up nicely. Loads of other games including loads of RPGs just released or due soon.

And there have been a lot of game discounts in recent weeks on the bundle sites such as Humble Bundle and on Steam and other retail game code sites. Lots to play and enjoy.

And loads of interesting new series or new seasons to watch. Are you not watching Game of Thrones? I thought you would enjoy that.
