Not entirely unexpected, but...

I wandered into Tesco earlier, intending to restock the empty fridge. Somehow, I ended up wandering down the video games aisle and glancing at the PS3 games.

Prince of Persia.
Resistance 2.
Tomb Raider: Underworld.

"Hmm", I thought, "I'm getting a bit behind with my gaming - still working my way through GTA IV and Bioshock; haven't even started Fallout 3 yet, and here are three games I was really looking forward to..."

And then I wandered off. An aisle or two later, I idly wondered if this meant that I'd improved my willpower, or just that I wasn't entirely feeling well...?

Ten minutes after that, I reached the checkout and realised that a copy of Tomb Raider was in my basket. Once I noticed it, I did remember putting it there - but I'd blanked it completely in the interval, once it was safely hidden under the multiseed bagels and cavolo nero...

Ooops.

It's not that I dislike computer games... I just have very little interest in them - completed Golden Axe, oh, about twenty years ago, and have a very distinct memory of pouring white russian into my lap instead of a glass whilst watching jero commit havoc on Sonic the Hedgehog (we'd borrowed a games console for the weekend). But then again, Ian did end up writing a version of Tetris for me on the Amiga...
