Now, I have a sense of humour. I find certain things funny, others hilarious.
I see amusing posts and parodies posted by the likes of Meka, Goatboy and SHEEPY to name but a few. I read them, laugh, and think to myself "so clever, yet so simple and obvious". I know it's obvious, because the humour is such a simple link in todays somewhat twisted reality.
And yet...
I cannot replicate it. I just can't get the inspiration to write such things myself.
Truly, some have it and some do not. It seems that I do not.

A good yardstick is to go back to something you write months ago to see if you still fin it funny. I do that with my old news stories and laugh uproariously every time I read them. Or maybe that's just a measure of how big my head is.
It's always been very easy to make me laugh.
I have a good sense of humour also, which means I'm laughing quite a lot of the time.
Hoho.

That's "Brian", SHEEPY...
Brain eh?
It's a hella pressure when people think you're amusing.
You either get nervous about it and try to maintain that awesome level of hilarity, or shrug and just talk about midgets and cows with massive heads and stuff.
Like if I was to attempt a post about what I look for in games, what makes a game worthwhile to me, it would invariably end up with me ranting about rubbish I dont like.
Like elves and pixies. Or cell-shading, because Dragon's Lair was cell-shaded and that blew ponies.
And driving games. Like I dont drive enough, I want to simulate that experience?
Like balls I do.
I want games where I get to smash massive pigs in the face with car bonnets and stuff. Or turn into a big flying horse called Brian and shoot lasers from my nipples.
