Sorry for such a late blog (although I doubt anyone stayed up all Saturday night at their computers waiting for Gamer_152's Saturday blog :P ) but my old LCD monitor finally decided to give up the ghost on Friday night, after almost 6 years of frequent use displaying hour after hour of nerdy websites and MMORPGs. Anyway I have a new HP, 19", 1440 by 900 monitor and it's beautiful, if only all problems were as easy to fix *cough*router*cough*. As you might of figured out this week I've been playing a lot of Burnout Paradise and that's still really awesome although I did get a little worried when my brother began to get so obsessed with the game that if he spent an hour or so of time off the game he'd begin to complain. I've also been playing more Pokemon, Half Life 2 and Half Life 2: Episode One. Although it's been quite hectic this weekend, it almost seems like I haven't actually had a proper weekend but I get Thurday and Friday off of college so it all balances out.
I also picked up Guiness World Records 2008: Gamers Edition today and it's a pretty sweet book, I'd advise almost anyone who's interested in it to buy it, although I should warn you that the book is not purely records (as I expected), it sort of deviates off, giving a fair bit of information about the games themselves and there is more in there about the records set by the games than actual players, but none the less a great book. I've also had a bit of a think and decided that I won't be able to live with myself if I don't get Freeloader and Super Smash Bros. Brawl soon, so I'll order that this week on the assumption Nintendo won't patch the Wii to prevent it.
In closing this week I'd like to say that I'm absolutely amazed at the new official score of 97% of Through the Fire and the Flames on GH3 and even more amazed at the BBFC's decision to finally let Manhunt 2 be released in the UK (isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse?). Shoutout to Bozanimal, Kingrich06, Mars188, Fishdalf, Neojedi, Zxv33 and PJ24. Sorry I didn't answer your questions a couple of weeks back Fishdalf, but better late than never; I'm missing too many Pokemon to list in Pokemon Diamond but let's just say that it doesn't help that I haven't got Fire Red or Leaf Green and on GH3 I'm stuck on every song in the 7th set on hard mode. Thanks to everyone for reading and I'll leave you with the short but sweet Half Life in 60 seconds.
