God Hates Games

Yes we will be launching soon. Expect things to get going some time in August.

I know I said we'd be launching soon, but there's the small matter of my wedding in three and a half weeks time. It makes more sense to actually get the site going once we've returned from honeymoon. So stay tuned.

There may be the odd update before then, but the site proper won't start until later April.

As you can see the site software is up and running. But it will be a few weeks before there's much content on here. The aim is to run the site for a month or so after that before the official grand opening.

So please do bookmark us and come back in a few weeks when we're sure to have something interesting for you to read.
