Torchlight! Diablo fix in an espresso cup!

The past week and a bit, has been quite the crazy one for me. In between studying for my formal logic exam, practicing for and playing at the Gospel Cabaret, running the VoB 21.1km Graperun and having my birthday I just couldn't find any time to update my blog or even play WoW!.(ag shame - ed)

But now that it has all died down a bit, and with things slowly getting back to normal I had a chance to just add this little update.

Note : slowly is a relative term seeing that I have 3 exams still coming up!

But as hectic as the past week was, It was also an absolute blast!

My wife leveled her cooking skills all the way to grand master chef in a matter of hours as she went about cooking up a storm for my party.

Teddy Cake : +60 to Awesomeness

The party itself was insane.. Food was great, friends where great, and we even had Buffon (aka H) from Juventus making an appearance in our mini soccer tournament!

I was showered with some awesome gifts too...

My wife got us Parlotones tickets, while Team A club together with cash which I wisely went and spent on an awesome new game called "Torchlight".

I'll be posting more info about Torchlight as soon as I've had a chance to actually play the game, but for now all I can tell you to do is to go check out their website : Torchlight.

The game basically takes everything good from Diablo 1 and 2, combines this with Fate, adds in a very nice looking 3D engine and rolls out a spiffy little game that I can't wait to dig my teeth into!

I also got some spiffy running gear from my bro and parents which will definitely help in next years Crazy Store's Mountain Challenge (watch me run a sub 3hrs).

Lastly, I ran the Graperun on sunday and completed it in 2:04.. I was aiming for a sub 2hr, but the race is an absolute killer, and by pushing myself I caused a full body break down with 4km's left to go.. This at least  did help me realize that I'm not 100% ready for a marathon just yet (to the relieve of Zoe and everyone else) and so I'll be giving Winelands marathon a miss, and settle for the half instead..
