College, the Good the Bad and the Ugly

Ok so for those of you who don't know today was the day when I was invited to college to take part in an activity, heres the lowdown.

Well I was very nervous, the kinda nervous that makes you feel sick, anyway. Anyway so I went to my train station (Which I've never been to before) and by coicidence met up with one of my friends Yazmin, it was a coicidence running into her and I didn't even know she was going. So anyway we got on the train (3 stops before the place where college is) and on the 1st stop we ran into another one of my friends Jenna. It was also a coicidence runnining into her, but I did know she was coming, so less of a coicidence. So us 3 waltzed of to college and we were directed to a massive hall where everybody who was taking childcare was sat, and not to my suprise I was the only male there. The whole place was filled with just under 100 females, I actully felt quite embarrased and when the introduction started and the woman at the front started talking loads of girls were staring at me, quite embrassing. But the lady noticed and came up to me and asked if I was ok being the only boy here, and I said yes. Anyway, so heres what happened in it.

We got a tour first, I'd already been round some of it on the open day back in April but got to see more of it, what I hated most was that whenever we were ready to move on she went "Ok girls lets move on!" That was quite annyoing, and infact this contuined throughout the whole day but near the end when everybody found me "Cute" and "Sweet" some people started saying "Theres a boy present" and struff like that, that made me happy :D

For the 1st main activity we had to work in large groups and make a massive tower out of sticks and elastic bands, I'm incredably Clumys so I chose to let all of the girls do it. They thought I was being very shy so they insisted I helped, but when they saw how bad i was they found a nice way to say "We don't want you to help" :P

Then later we got to do painting, we had to paint somthing that represents somthing, but I am terrible at painting. So instead, I poured the paint in a bowl. and pushed my hand in, took it out, and pressed it agaisnt the paper multiple times. Everybody laughed when I did that, but not hurtfull laughing the good kind. I made loads of friends, loads of the girls kept coming up to me and saying things like "Your so sweeeeet" and "Your so adorable" I love being treated like that :D

Then it was time to go, but wait, we had to catch the train and we had minites left, so we ran and ran and what do you know. As soon as we get down the stairs the train doors shut and it leaves. We had to wait for 25 minites :( I wish I would have ran faster.

So all in all good day, I kept hearing people talk about me saying things like "He must be gay and "I bet he is gay So i was just thinking if they ask me when college starts, wherever I should say yes, i think I might. Make things a hell of alot easier, plus I think it's kinda ovoius anyway, I mean the only guy doing Child Development, dosn't seem to straight :P

Well I guessI'll seya later!

Conker Update and MGS Video

I just noticed that I haven't said anything about my update with Conkers Bad Fur Day for the N64 and i bet some of you are wondering, so I'll tell you. Well so far I have $1250 dollers I think and I'm on the Unga Bunga chapter. I'm in Rock Solid and I need to pee on the rocks to make them go down the hole so I can free Berri from her dancing cage, so so thats that. So far my favorite character is Franky The Pitchfork, i hope he makes a return.

In other news I made a new video, this time instead of making a more seroius one I'd thought I'd make one like my Barbie Girl video. But this time its the "Love Triangle" in MGS3 between The Boss, Snake and Eva. Please post comments and enjoy.

Favorite gaming couple + MGS Video

Ok so I just was wondering who's your favorite gaming couple? Mine would have to be Solid Snake and Meryl Silverberg in MGS1 (MGSTTS). I just love the chemistry between those two, they both fancy each other but are too afraid to tell each other, at the end though they finnaly love each other, plus it was such a sad story that Meryl got captuted and tortured and Snake eventully saved her. They are my best gaming couple.

And because of that let me introduce my newst video dedcicated to Snake and Meryl, the Legend and The Rookie, please post comments and enjoy.

PS3 Problem Explained and CBFD and 1080 First Impressions.

Ok so my last blog may have confused some of you, well let me go into more detail into what happend.

Well I woke up and as soon as I did I rushed to my PS3 and downloaded the update, at first nothing was new, because the trophies wern't active yet and in games you can't browse the internet or listen to music as they had promised. (This was one of the reasons why they pulled it off) But the In game messaging was great, it saves a great deal of time leaving just to answer a messege, it can be quite laggy but still its a cool edition. Anyway so straight after that I played MGS4, I got up to the end of Act 5, just after Screaming Mantis, and then a friend came round so I turned it off. When I turned it back on again WHAM! All my files were gone, whenver I tried to find them this messge came up saying your hardata is corrupted or somthing so it had to be formated, then my data was no more. At first I thought it was just my luck, but allas no, other people have had save files gone, games busted or even the console itself! I lost all my game saves, images, music, video clips and theme, my friends stayed intact. It must have had somthing to do with the update because Sony took of the update and released an article saying "Sorry for the inconveince" Well they need to say more than sorry because think of what i lost. 150+ on Oblivion, that was the thing that hurt me most cos I spent aaaaaaaaages on it, apart from that all my other games, gone. This was not very good but I had to make the best of it, I am now saying that atleast I get more value out of my games. I mean would I have ever played Heveanly Sword again if this didn't happen, probbaly not, but now I can :). But still, wish it never happend.

Ok now onto my two games, they both arrived today, Conkers Bad Fur Day and 1080 Snowboarding, here are my thoughts.

Conkers Bad Fur Day was pretty much how I expected it, cinimatic wise. I mean i watched a couple of cinimatics on You Tube, but they seem so much more funny on my TV< I laughed my head of at the part where Conker meets Greg the Grim Reaper, so far I'm at the part where you have to go collect some poo from a bunch of cows so I can get a ball of poo...Don't ask. The graphics are spectaular and quite frankly are the best on the console, they look really good, and the voice acting is good, especially since hardly any N64 games have proper voice acting in. This game is pretty frustrating at times since i don't know what I'm doing at some parts, but other than that great game.

Now 1080 Snowboarding, I bought this for collective purposes only really, I knew that I wan't going to really like it, I bought it hbecause it was cheap and saves me buying it later I guess. However, I actully quite like it! Ok so I am terrible at the races, mostly because I don't know how the hell to land, you se in this game landing is manual, not automatic, and I stink at it. But I am very good at the contest mode, and I enjoy that the most. The graphics are good but theres nothing to see, kinda bland. I absolutly hate the character selection scren music "Work ya body, work ya body" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over does get a bit annyoing! But other than that it beat my expectations and was a good buy :)

So I'm off to work, but when I get back I'm going back on CBFD and then Heveanly Sword (Thats the game I'm going through first in my PS3 rise to normal) then sleep :P. I may also get my nans money tommrow I dunno, if so be expecting another N64 blog, seya!

I've entered the world of online shopping!

Yes, I have purchused things online before ofcourse, but that was under my dads or mums name, now I finnaly can buy stuff under my name. So every month £25.00 goes into my account from my Dad, and hopefully about another £45.00 at the beggining of next month cos of work, and my nan is also giving me £45.00 into my account soon to as spending money for me :D. So what did I buy you ask, well the £25.00 went in today and it left today, it didn't stay very long :p, anyway this is what I bought.

Well as you know I hoped to buy a N64 expanion pack, Conkers Bad Fur Day, Lylat Wars, a Rumble Pack and Mario Tennis, well I only bought one of those. Well also sadly my nans money didnt go in in time so I only had £25.00 instead of my hoped £70.00, so Conkers Bad Fur day was defantly of the list. So I was looking and I decided to buy a N64 Expaion Pack (£11.24) Mario Tennis (£9.44) and Glover (£4.89). But just as I was about to buy them I got a messege from Amazon saying that one of the games I was tracking has gone down in price, I was amazed to see that it was Conkers Bad Fur Day. Conkesr bad Fur day was originally £39.00, but sombody put it on Amazon for £21.91 :shock: , so I couldn't pass up the offer and decided to purchuse that. So I didnt have that much money left, but I really wanted to buy an Expansion Pack because I had Donkey Kong 64 and can not play it :evil: but it was to much so I couldn't. Anyway so I couldn't buy Mario Tennis either, and Glover would have just been too much, so I had to go through my whole N64 game list to see if I could find anything cheap. and the best cheap games I could find were F-Zero X, Wave Race 64 and 1080 Snowboarding. In the end I made a choice and went with 1080 Snowboarding, it was the cheapest and looks really good. But it was a tough choice because Wave Race 64 looks good to, I'll make sure to get it next time.

Ok so Conkers Bad Fur Day should arrive in 1-2 days and 1080 Snowboarding should arrive in 2-4 days, so in the meantime I shall keep myself busy by playing Banjo Tooie and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, they should keep me busy, and into the platforming mood. I lack any good racing games on the console to prepare myself for 1080 Snowboarding, well Mario Kart 64 is great, but it is broken and all I have left is Diddy Kong Racing "Shudders" read my review. When I get the other money in a couple of days I will defantly be buying a n64 Expaniosn pack, and

Special Operations FoxHound

Here is a remake of my earlier video "FoxHound" there was really no need to remake it I just really love this group and there in my favorite game, so please post comments and enjoy.

FGVB is no more

Well I finnaly decided after a long thought not to contuine with my video blog series, I just cannot be bothred anymore. There are many reasons why this is, they take really long, there not very fun to make, I keep forgetting my lines and having to start over, not many people watch it or even like it that much and my webcam and mic are very bad and they keep breaking. Also it started out like fun, but as I made myself do it every Sunday it became more of a chore than fun, so yes FGVB series has come to an end and the videos are now off of You Tube. But after I get loads on N64 games expect for me to purchuse a CamCorder, and not some bad one with bad quality I'm talking about a really expensive one that has good quality. This is what I will use it for.

  • Video Reviews - I will defantly be doing video reviews, but for all you non Nintendo fans they will only be N64 reviews, after I've bought every single Europe released N64 game and reviewed it then expect reviews for other games on other consoles.
  • Walk Throughs - Yes I have always wanted to do one, and just as the video reviews they'll be N64 only to begin with, I don't know if I'll do a walk through for EVERY N64 game because some of them will take aaaaaaaaages to do like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and some of them don't really seem like they would need one like Mario Kart 64, but I may do one for all of them you never know.
  • Rants - Yes instead of a video blog every once and a while I'll do a rant, this rant will be random and about whatever I want. And the good thing is that its a camcorder so i could do it wherever I want, so expect some of my rants to be outside and about.

Well thats what you can expect when I get the camcorder, as for the video reviews, mabey in the future, but not now.

Seya!

120 Stars, Zombie's and BBQ

I got my N64 at launch I belive, yes the day it was launched by dad went and got one in Toys R Us, I remeber that day quyite well. My dad knew how much we wanted it so he went to the shop like 4 hours before it opened and managed to get into the allready big cue, and he managed to get himself one of the last copies of the console after waiting for hours and hours. He came home with Super Mario 64 instead of Piolet Wings 64, and when he got home we all as a family loved it. I ofcourse enjoy games much more than te rest of my family so It got moved into my room. Well it took me this long but I finnaly got 100% on the game, today I got all 120 stars and the hidden thing at the top of Peach's Castle. And to my suprise it is actully the first N64 game I've ever got 100% on, so its taken me a while. It was a good achivement and now my efforts can be placed onto a less stressfull game, Super Smsh Brothers. I never ever managed to unlock Luigi on it, i could never get Yoshi's targets :evil: but I'm gonna try and get it later.

Reccently I've also been playing Resident Evil the remake for the Gamecube, and I managed to play it around 11:00 at night and I managed to get past the bit where i got stuck before, and then the game scared the sh**s outta me. The camara is always in this cinimatic view and that makes it much more terrfiiying. Whats even worse is that I've just found out that the zombie's I've killed prevoiusly are coming back to life, but this time there alot faster and they can wishstand more bullets, so now I'm even more terrfied. I',m playing as Jill incase anybody wants to know. people say that Resident Evil4 is the best Resident Evil game, and I agree with them, but this is MUCH more scary, somtimes when I get to a corner and I cannot se round it, I go a diffrent path because there could be a Zombie there, I'm such a wuss :P

And lastly every year my street has a BBQ, and each years its a succsess and starts at 5PM and goes till 2AM. Each year about 60 people turn up, it's very comminity based and very cool. This years theme is Hippy, so I'm just putting on my hippy outfit, with a cool blond wig!

Lol well seyta tommrow in FGVB - Episode 9

The N64 Rundown

Ok, so now I have my own N64 plan, and I hope to stick to this as much as possible, so heres whats gonna happen. Well I'll be getting money every month, at the beggining of this month I'll be getting £25.00 pocket money and £45.00 from my nan, so thats £70.00. Then every other month I'll be getting £25.00 pocket money and £48.00 work wages, so thats about £73.00, and that should contuine on untill college and heck it may go up or down. Anyway. With the end of the month coming up shortly I decided its time to get my act toegther, I mean I keep saying that when i get money I'm gonna get this and I'm gonna get that and this and that and ect. So I've made an offical plan of mine, here it is.

The first thing I need to buy is an Expansion Pack

Expansion Pak

This is on Amazon for about £10.00, there is a unoffical one which is cheaper but I'd rather get the offical one for collectative purposes. The Expansion pack will pretty much get me a new game too, since I own Donkey Kong 64, and when I get this I will finnal beable to play Donkey Kong 64. And I hear from people that this game is very long to complete 100% due to all of the things that need collecting, so that should take me a good old while. This Expasion pack will also enable me to play The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which I will be getting once I've completed The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 100% So it will be some time yet.

Then I will be getting Conkers Bad Fur Day

Conker's Bad Fur Day

Even if I wasn't on this N64 mission I'd still get it, this game just looks so good from what I've seen and it hopefully will live up to my expectations of it, and the price. Conkers Bad Fur Day costs about £33.00 on Amazon and Ebay, so I hopefully will enjoy it. It also is made by Rare and I mean, you can't go wrong with Rare now can you?

Then I'm off to get Lylat Wars (StarFox 64 in the US) and I'm going to try and get the one that comes with the Rumble Pack too but if not I can easily get it alone of Amazon. The strange thing is Lylat Wars isn't available on Amazon, so I'm going to have to resort to either Ebay or Chips. I want this game because well I really want to get into the series, I played Star Fox Adventures first with that dinisor one (Pretty lame by all acounts) so yea I wanna get this one, and for collective purposes too.

And Lastly I am going to purchuse Mario Tennis

Mario Tennis

I've reccently been watching alot of reviews of this and it looks really good, I just have to get this game due to the fact that it's sequal had those terrible power shots that ruined the game. So Yea I'm getting this one.

This is as far as I've got so far as it is in the games, but when I get about 20 more games I am hopeing to purchuse myself a Camcorder, the camcorder will be used to create video reviews of the games. It will also provide me with obbertunties to do other stuff like I dunno reccord other things like my dog :P, so yea I'll hopefully be getting that. Thats why i decided to get Mario Tennis because the Camcorder will take like 2 months to save up fir, I needed a game that has tons of replay value, so thats why its Mario Tennis.

Wow long blog, well I'll seya later!
