SNOW!

So it finally started to snow this winter, even though the weathermen say it'll be gone in the next day or so. Watching it come down it reminded me of the first time it snowed in years two years ago when myself and the Ex-girlfriend went snow stomping all the way into town and giggled all the way, one of the all too few happy times we had together, but once I got out into it heading to the local chippy I had to be amazed at the way snow plays with sound.

You see unlike the crisp clear nights we have had where sound carried clear as a bell the snow softened the sounds in the same way that it softens the edges of the landscape, then I got to thinking about my favorite sounds for instance I love the sound of a summer rainfall on the trees and the crunching sound of crisp fresh snow under foot along with the sound of a well maintained V8 and V-twin engine.

I'm an odd fish at best as you can see but it works for me, though I have been gaming a hell of a lot mainly on Fable 3 which also got me thinking what the hell was stopping Lionhead Studios from doing something similar with Fable 1? I decided to not worry about it as I was not and am not running the company, I am just looking forward to Halo 4 and the new story arc with the Master Chief and Cortana I even pre-ordered  a copy.

I have also had a look at the new PS Vita which is a gorgeous device but its price tag isn't at £229 at its cheapest I think I'll wait unti Sony notice that its unit sales are fucking awful and bring it down sharply.
