This whole deal right here is about to get 'hella' dusty. Tomorrow morning, oh-nine-hundred hours, I shall depart my girlfriend's abode, Mel in tow, and set out for the snowy northern continent of Europe. Yes friends, I shall be apart from my wonderful internets for a long snowy winter.

At least until I can get thee to an internet cafe or find a decent Wi-Fi network. If I get a spare half hour, which I probably won't, I'll do a progress update via blog but I'm going to be busy. Six countries (Germany, England, Sweden, Netherlands, France, Austria, Germany) in six weeks is going to be an effort, albeit a life defining effort. Mel and I have been planning this trip for over a year now so it's going to be incredible to finally feel the plane lurch onto the runway tomorrow around mid-day.

Here's hoping that all goes well. Drop a comment in if you have any suggestions regarding things that we must do/see, we have a substantial list but it would be great to hear what other people have done. I hope everyone who reads this (I know there are at least a few [WOO STATS]) has a great Christmas and a hangover of a New Years. Just relax guys, don't over-do it.

Now I need to whinge. I'M GOING TO MISS OUT ON GAAAAMES! I get back January 4th, you'll then be able to find me on the PSN playing Gran Turismo 5, Dead Rising 2, Pac-Man CE DX and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and on WoW, all over WoW. Dammit the new patch is interesting. I want to shattering.

I'll make sure to post some pictures and epic fables when I return. I plan to flaunt my GiantBomb member shirt all over Europe so I'll definitely have some pictures of that. Lastly, here's hoping North Korea hasn't started some shit, no-one needs another war.

TLDR: I'm going away for a while. Here is a mediocre goodbye post. I hope you have a safe and relaxed holiday. ARGH I'M MISSING GAMES. I shall return with qualitative and pictorial evidence of my adventures.

Where in the world is Max Jackman?

I love you, whoever you are. Have an amazing next six weeks.

Me.
