I don’t know what it is, but it all started last night when I somehow failed to open a can of beer.
Ever since then I have been failing left and right, unable to open doors, falling over things that are not even in the way, even getting simple words completely wrong when saying them.
Thankfully though the worst of it did not kick in till after we finished recording and uploading this episode of the podcast. Who knows if it kicked in sooner we may not have managed to talk about Kickstarter, we could have ended up discussion the SNES instead of the Wii U, Though i think we still would have remembered to have a pop at Zynga.
Anyway all that and much more in this episode of the Drinky Talky Thingy.
