First off, i have to admit that the link above my counter is perhaps the coolest thing on the page! Megatrobe, you fool!

So anywho, i haven't blogged for a while, so i decided that i may as well, just to see what happens!

So what's happened to the DickyBod of late? Well, another showdown with the militant group in Beckhenem high street (funny story. They ended up shooting each other when they couldn't decide what film to watch at the Odeon.) Then as i was in Bromely on Friday i ran into the ninja's that had plagued Nonnesuch so horribly (yet another funny story. they got the rong person, so i directed them to lewisham. I wonder why nonnesuch hasn't blogged for a while... a mystery.) but after the encounter managed to procure for myself a copy of .hack//INFECTION, which i have fast become exceedingly addicted to, (though obviously not in the 'plug it into my veins' sense. Snorting is much more efficient.)

Disclaimer : I'm going to use no bracket for the rest of this blog. Fair enough? :-)

So, anyway as i was sayin... ah crap, emoticons have brackets in don't they? Bollards... Ah well. So, .hack. It arrived at the best moment possible, since only 4 days beforehand I had conquered the current beast in my life that was FFX-2. As such, a new game was needed to fill the void, and the arrival of .hack onto the HMV shelves was much appreciated on my part. From what i can make out from the time ive been playing it the story runs a little like this:

After a worldwide computer virus made computer moniters flicker, causing people to lose consciouness (seven died) all OS systems where shutdown, and the internet made very restricted in its use. Then in 2007, a new OS was created, that was hailed as the perfect OS 'ALTIMIT'. Soon the entire world was run by ALTIMIT machines. Then, in order to get the internet back on a global scale, a german prgrammer created a new MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) called "The World" which could be run effortlessly on ALTIMIT machines. So, into this game comes you, invited on by a friend from school. You meet up with him, and start playing. After a while, a strong monster attacks his character, and you don't hear from him, until the next day when you find out he's been hospitalised. So, after you decide that the game had something to do with it, you go on a hackers rampage throughout the game. Thats pretty much it. I'll get back to you with my progress soon.
