It’s official, at the time of writing this entry I have spent more time asleep than awake this decade! I watched a bit of The Speedgamers New Year playthrough of New Super Mario Bros Wii until 1:30 then I went for a lie down, I didn’t wake up until 5am. I sat at the PC for a while until 5:30/5:45 and then went back to bed again, not rising until midday. w00t!

Anyway, what did I do for New Years Eve? Not a lot really. I installed my Bluray drive (breaking one of the cold cathodes in the process) and hooked it up to the TV using a HDMI cable. So far the results have been pretty damn amazing, I used Rambo as my test disk.

Sarah came down just before 9 and we watched a bit of TV. The IT Crowd was on along with The 100 Most Annoying People of 2009 (AGAIN! – it’s been shown nightly on BBC3 for some time now) then I hooked up the Wii to the TV and we played New Super Mario Bros Wii for the first time. It’s a pretty good game, it’s taken all of the really good parts of Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and the original Yoshi’s Island and mashed them together to make something that is truly brillaint. A good game to end the decade playing and to start the new one with!

PS: It snowed overnight again, awesome!
