A merry Christmas and happy new year to everyone. That includes the fanboys of all ages who hurl abuse at me out of ignorance, let’s hope they become more educated and open minded in the new year.

I am taking a little rest from writing these articles. Normal service should resume around the middle of January.

In order to be more sociable and to create an area for people with the common interest of the games industry I have started a Facebook group for Bruceongames. It is open for anyone to join, so please do. Just put Bruceongames in your Facebook search window. See you there!

So yesterday I signed up to two things that are hot at the moment. Twitter is microblogging. 140 character messages from mobile phone or computer. Full on it looks like this: http://twitter.com/public_timeline 
And here is my little beginning: http://twitter.com/Bruciebabe

Naymz is yet another form of social networking. But this time it serves as a central point for everything you do on the internet. Here is mine: http://www.naymz.com/search/bruce/everiss/2335582
It has good tools for importing your address book so it is easy to get going. If you can be found at multiple places on the web this makes good sense, as you can see from my entry.

I’m off for a week of cave diving. If I can find time and a connected computer I will try and write articles. Otherwise there may be gaps.

I have pre loaded a pile of articles.

• 4.8 Sony PS3 marketing mistakes. I was asked for this. Should keep the fanboys happy.
• 5.8 More on Tera Patrick and Saint’s Row 2. My reaction to the reaction really.
• 6.8 Devil May Cry 4 sales cannibalised by piracy. The industry is at a turning point. Forced there by mass thieving.
• 7.8 Eight news stories 7.8. Obviously this one isn’t written yet and will only happen if I find the time.
• 8.8 Ubisoft go shopping. Some analysis of what is going on here.
• 11.8 Charging for Microsoft Xbox Live. A popular issue at the moment.

Enjoy. Approving of comments will be much slower as I may not get to a computer for days at a time.

I am in the Caribbean Island of Grenada till July 2nd. There are some articles on the auto scheduler that will self publish themselves whilst I am away. I will try and find some time/a connected computer to do the Thursday news round up. Comment approval will be very slow.

I have started a new community forum for the area around where Codemasters is and where I live.
