Ever have that feeling like you're drowning in work? I've had that feeling for the past couple of weeks. And the more work I get, the harder it is to actually DO any of it. I'm so rubbish.

We've got a rather unusual Frag Doll video that should be emerging next week, so make sure you keep an eye out for it at www.fragdolls.co.uk (as if you didn't know the link!)

We might also be doing a rather groovy community evening on Tuesday, which should be confirmed over the next few hours/days. Again - keep an eye out for it, especially if you're a PS3 owner (oooooooh!)

Finally, thank you for all the questions everyone posted in my last blog. I'm going to put them all together and answer them in a video, I think. But if you have any more questions, keep 'em coming!

Right, I'm off to tackle my workload. But before I do, I have some questions for YOU!

1) Do you think GTAIV lives up to the hype?

2) Any of you Brits doing something nice for bank holiday weekend? I hope you voted in your local elections!

3) Does anyone have Wii Fit?

I'M IN A GOOD MOOD TODAY! YAAAAAAAAY! Even though my bum feels like it's been smacked by a dozen horseshoes, due to a new dance class I attended yesterday. There's nothing to put you in a better frame of mind than needing to wince everytime you sit down. W00t W00t!

Right, enough flapping around. Before I forget, thanks to everyone who hopped online during the Gamespot Community Night. It was great fun. I always think a great online session isn't the game you're playing, but the people you're playing it with.

Also, I have a new videoblog! And thanks to everyone's kind words, I bit the bullet and wore my glasses. Sadly I can't upload it to Gamespot as usual as it means lots of conversion confusion, but you can still watch it on the FDUK site here.

Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to throw open a bit of healthy discourse. Meaning, I want you to ask me some questions about Frag Dolls. Sometimes I forget there are a lot of people out there who aren't quite sure how we operate, or what activities we get up to. So if you message over your questions - however big or small - I will do my best to answer them. No hate mail, please! Don't spoil the Jammy fun times.

Right, I'm off to accept some friend invites. I've been getting really lazy with them recently. Tut tut.

Yes, tommorrow evening I and my fellow Fraggies will be hooking up with the lovely chaps from Gamespot to bring you an evening of WILD GAMING ACTION!

Well... a few nice games on Rainbow Six: Vegas 2, at the very least.

We'll be playing on Xbox 360 and PS3, from 8pm BST on Thursday. It's all a bit of harmless fun and a giggle, no matter what your skill level. So if you're free, hop online and say hello!

I'm in a good mood today, but I ache all over!

As mentioned in my previous blog, I've decided to have a go at kickboxing. I went to my first lesson yesterday. It was all pretty bizarre, as the vast majority of people there had been kickboxing for years. I also couldn't drag anyone along with me, so I felt like a complete loner n00b. Fortunately everyone was really friendly and forgiving when I couldn't do a 'snap kick' to save my life. I even had a woman stand on my knees whilst I was sat in the lotus position - how insane is that!? Not your usual idea of a Monday night.

I'm not sure if I'll go back yet, as I guess it is a disadvantage that there aren't any other n00bs like me. It's not so much feeling inimidated, but I don't want to feel like I'm the rubbish member of the group who slows everyone down, you know? On the other hand, I did have fun, and I think it can teach me a lot of new things. We shall see.

So sleepy now!

Yesterday I sat down to what I hoped would be a relaxing evening with A-Train HX.

For those on the other side of the pond, A-Train HX is a train simulation game (previously known as "A Ressha de Ikou HX") that recently got a European release. Okay, so the graphics looked last-gen, and building up a city around some train tracks might not sound like everyone's cup of tea, but I've always had a fancy for simulation games. I hoped A-Train would be like many small releases - quirky and full of charm.

I'd never played a train simulation game before, so like a good girl I read up on the manual before hand. It described the basics of building up a city from scratch. "Okay" I thought, "Now for the game!" I booted up the menu screen (with the painfully small text, even set to the largest font on a HD TV) and off I went onto the first map in the main mode.

Oh. My. God.

I cannot fully desribe my feeling of confusion and panic at the sprawling metropolis that lay before me. Instead of starting from scratch (such as Theme Park or Sim City), A-Train plonks you smack in the middle of everything. With no tutorial. No handy hints. Not so much as a cheeky nod as to how the hell you're supposed to get started. Suddenly the instructional manual was like trying to teach the metaphoircal murmurings of Ulysses using an Ikea desk assembly manual.

Before people begin to complain, I know that A-Train HX isn't mean for a quick casual game, pushing around some Thomas the Tank Engines. I was more than prepared to get my hands dirty. But it was the complete lack of help that got me. Unless you've been playing these kinds of games since the Atari, I just can't fathom how anyone can figure out what the hell to do. Why are random houses popping up next to one station, but not the other? What are these signal points all about? How do I make money? How do I buy and sell shares? Three hours later, I was still none the wiser.

It was a big disappointment for me. I know a lot of people scoffed at the idea of a Train Sim on the 360 from the get-go, but I really hoped it would prove them wrong. It's terrific to see more diverse games heading to the Xbox 360, and good on 505 Games for taking a chance. It's the utter lack of effort that galls me. How hard would it be to put in a simple, in-game tutorial? So the incredibly niche title just got even nichier. Consider me a potential fan, lost.

You know you're in a great job when it's a Thursday afternoon and you're filming a developer standing on a table, shoving his bum in a co-workers face. It was all in the name of upcoming FPS 'Haze', which seems to be shaping up rather well. Keep your eyes peeled for video madness in the next few eeks.

That said, I find myself in another gaming slump at the moment. There's just so many games to play, I figure I shouldn't play any of them. Logical, right? So to use up my free time, I'm planning to enroll in kickboxing classes. WAAA! I figure it will get me in shape, as well as making me look teh hardc0re. Although, to be honest, I'm a bit scared by the idea of hitting someone. It just seems so wrong! I'm planning on attending my first lesson this evening, so I will let you know how I get on.

My hair is very red today
