The blog of a dangerous madman

One wonders what morons they have in the government.

Observe the new logo for the Office of Government Commerce:

Now when it is flipped onto its side:

This new logo my friends cost £14 000 to make. That's right. FOURTEEN THOUSAND RUDDY POUNDS! This is taxpayer's money here! All that money and the designers failed to notice the problem. And even with ignoring that problem, the logo still sucks for that price! I have virtually no skill in art or image editing, and I myself believe I could come up with something better than that naff for FREE!!! Who the hell charges that sort of money, and who the fudge is stupid enough to pay it???

Gob-smacking, it really is.

The next TF2 'Meet the' video will apparently be the scout, so sayeth the interwebs. Ah well, it was worth a guess, eh?

I've recently been playing some Command and Conquer games. I've got through Red Alert 2, and I'm now having a go at Tiberian Sun. I've been tackling the GDI campaign, and it is surprisingly tough in places. Something I've not particularly liked about Tiberian Sun is the fact that it can be really slow. Units take an age to cross the map. Still, that's probably a poor thing to complain about. On the whole the game is pretty good, although it lacks the ability to play movies you've seen unlike in Red Alert 2.

In another burst of sheer insanity I also tried hosting a dedicated server of Team Fortress 2 on my laptop. Amazingly the performance hit isn't actually that bad (when there's not players on it, mind). It hits my system less hard than stock msn, which I don't use now because it's bloated to hell. Use Pidgin (find it through the power of google).

Peace through power brothers!
