I like computer games. I know I am probably a bit old to be playing toy soldiers, but I am of that generation that grew up with the ZX Spectrum, so it is a bit hard for me to resist the latest shiny console. I’ve tried to resist, I’ve tried to act my age, but my resolve always crumbles and I end up playing games again.
My passion at the moment is a game called Rainbox Six: Vegas on the XBox 360 and this is a FPS (first person shooter) that lets you blow the top of terrorist’s heads with your high powered rifle. Ahhh, if only real life was as simple as that. But the thing about this game that has got me all a quiver is that you can put your face into the game using a technique called Digimask. It’s all rather clever. Anyway, in an attempt to force myself to have some interest in this blog, here’s a snap of Digital Darren. I think the technology behind Digimask is pretty cool myself.

Anyway, my Xbox Live login is Little Lemon, so if you want to come find me and put a bullet in my head, feel free to join the queue. Man, I really ought to have grown up by now.
