I always thought politics was bullshit. The original idea for this article was to convince readers to NOT vote Conservative in favour of Labour or UKIP, or even to deploy a ‘tactical vote’ for one of the lesser-known gayer parties. But the more research I’m doing into this bore-fest, the more I’m thinking that voting for anyone is pointless.

Back in the early noughties, I was a young Computer Science student. I was in the lab one day, reading Maddox (When it used to be funny) instead of writing my ground-breaking library database program. By ground-breaking, I mean it was text based and it did what it needed to and had no bugs. Which in the modern software landscape is pretty fucking ground-breaking. Anyway, a really tall ugly fella who I used to play pool with walked over to me. “Cunty, you have got to see this. It is hilarious!”, he said.
What followed was possibly the strangest thing I have seen in my life. This was, for me, the beginning of the end. 
I haven't written about my escapades for a while. It's a difficult thing to write about currently. I have so many projects I am working on that I find it hard to distinguish between the two, which makes it hard for me to write coherently about. Mainly because, in the back of my mind, I am always thinking “Is that the right one I'm on about?”  Currently I am working on an idle clicker incremental game for the website. It won't be particularly groundbreaking, it'll do what it says on the tin. What it will have is the standard level of piss taking you'd expect from a Foul Entertainment product and a sense of fucking humour. I really get fed up when these games take themselves so damn serious. Let's get one thing straight; They're not proper games. You can't lose. You can progress slower, but you can't lose. There is no real challenge, it doesn't take brains or awesome reactions. It doesn't take anything. So, hopefully our slant on it will be worth the massive waste of your time these things are.
Let’s carry on with the one of the worst weeks in gaming. So, Valve and Bethesda suddenly sprung a major change into the PC game modding scene, only to have it rightfully blow up in their faces. It’s an interesting time in the state of gaming when stereotypical ‘good guy’ devs like Valve and Bethesda are playing the role of the Fagin. Thing is, I don’t know why we were all shocked that A) This happened and B) It crashed and burned as badly as it did.  So, let's ask the question: Does Valve and Bethesda's behaviour over the paid mod system mean the end to modders making money before it's even started?
