I’m back from Christmas with the family, and thoroughly stuffed from several days eating both hot turkey from Christmas lunch, and cold turkey from five days of non-gaming. Actually, I didn’t really miss it, didn’t get the shakes or anything, so I guess I’m not too addicted after all.

Presents included Medieval: Total War II, which looks pretty shiny from the tutorial so far (loved the first, and while Rome was a major advance in many ways, I much prefer the Medieval setting), and the first volume of Michael Palin’s diaries, which are interesting from a blogging perspective.

Anyway, back to the battleground queues!
