The DuckRoof Incident.

Well this is a slightly random blog. But due to wanting to entertain myself i figure this is a worthy post. Earlier in the day i was sat reading a book infront of my laptop. Suddently i hear flapping on my roof (I'm in a loft room, this is key infromation i seemingly forgot to inform you of). Now this is pretty normal pigeons and such. How ever when it started walking around it made quite some noise. I suspeceted perhaps there were a few pigeons. I continued with my book, how ever the noise also continued. After a while i set down my book and rolled my chair to my skylight and peered out, what do i see? A duck. Yes. A duck, walking away from my skylight onto the next house roof. What.

I jumped down and informed the internets. (Dash and Shin). To which Shin informed me, pics or it didn't happen. I grabbed my camera and headed back for the roof, however when i get there there was no sign of the duck, i cant see very well out of my skylight due to standing on a chair, but i held my camera out and took a picture, the only thing it showed was a pigeon on a chimney a few houses down, but the pigeon wasn't big enough to have caused that noise. So what do you think? Did i imagine the whole thing? Or are the ducks onto me...?

I'm scared.

P.S. I made this comic on the situation. (It dosn't fit very well in the gamespot blog so here is a link)

The National Lantery?

I won the lottery only 43 quid but woot. Was going to go get Hulk for the 360 but have decided to save it and put it towards the new iphone.

That is all.

Picture of VAST winnings, i can barley count it.

The Incredible Blog.....ulk!

I haven't posted a blog in a while and thats pretty much because i forgot all about doing it, its only occasionaly that i think to make one. So i figure i'll do one now why i have it in my mind and this page open. What am i going to write about? Not a clue. I guess i'll talk about the new hulk movie. There arn't really any spoilers here although im probably gonna mention some stuff about the plot and a cameo. So if you havnet seen it yet you might not want to read its up to you.

Went to see it last night, i have to say i really enjoyed it, it was a lot better than i had anticpated. Origonally i was only excited for the things about the super soldiers in the movie (as i'm quite looking forward to the captain america and avengers movies). But after seeing it i have to say that it was so much more. The fights were amazing, edward norton played an amazing bruce banner and they really did capture the Hulk as a character. The action was superb. The CGI was even better and the plot wasn't half bad either, it was purley setting up either a sequal or the avengers movie. I don't really have anything bad to say about it. I dont really know where it comes on my "Super Hero Movie List" yet, if you would have asked me last night i'd have said right at the top with spiderman 2. But now im not so sure. I'll have to go see it again to decide. The fact that it had Tony Stark at the end to setting up the avengers gave the movie and extra bazillion points in my books.


Other than that i haven't really been up to much. Just work and a few games, I had been playing the Battlefield: Bad Company demo with Dash but since its near impossible to get into a server together and xbox lives chat system refuses to let us talk its not been going on for a few days. That and MGS4 came out which should have him preoccupied for about 2 months.

Also i guess since the last time i was on here i've really been getting into comics, i've bought a load of volumes and a bunch of singles. I've mainly been reading ultimate stuff (Ultimate spider-man and the ultimates, although i've started ultimate xmen and intend to start ultimate f4) but i have reccently been getting into the 616 (main marvel) universe, i guess that was mainly because i picked up secret invasion 1 and was compelled to read more into it. I started with the secret invasion history and moved onto civil war now i'm pretty much just buying anything that looks intresting. I don't really know if i need to continue on this topic but if anyone is intrested i will gladly talk more about it.

I guess thats pretty much it. I'd like to say that it won't be to far from another blog but honestly i have no idea when i'll come round to it again. Also i'm not going to proof read this, so if it makes no sense and is random babbaling, well it would be like if you were talking to me in real life. Good Day

P.S. I win! You lose cheeg, AHAHAHAHAAHA.

Lets play off the floor TAG!

Apparantly i'm suposed to put 5 things on here no one on here would know, which should be ludicrosly easy. I'm not sure why i have to do this something to do with Dash posting my name in his tag themed blog. Oh well, here we go;

1) I am a GREAT driver ask any one (except dash,cheeg or pab).

2) I am infact batman

3) I spend ludicros amounts of money on things i really dont need at all, like a soundwave mp3 player that requires an sd card, what was the point, i mean its awesome but you know. i don't reall need it, buying collectors edition games i dont really need those either. Specilaly mass effect one i havent even played it. Then i ended up in an arcade the other night and spent a tenner on a grabbing machine trying to get this stupid tiger toy, WHY DO I EVEN WANT IT I DONT LIKE WINNE THE POOH. I could go on.

4) I havent ever really finished a zelda game, i lose intrest everytime.

5) I have a fair amount of memorabilia, spanning accross tv/film/comics/games. It's madness really, i have a force fx lightsabre. A peice of the origonal SG-1 iris, the sword from heroes (hiro's sword). 20th anniversary optimus prime, V (for vendeta) mask, batman mask (see 2). My captain jack coat. My green lantern ring, god i'm sure theres more, the collection is growing to i just keep buying the stuff you should see my top shelf. Saying that made me look up there and see my signed stargate concept art and script so i have that to as well as a load of autographs and a serenity model as well as the serenity money pack god i cant stop myself O_O.

I'll post pictures of some of my stuff some time. God i'm even wearing a goku t-shirt as i write this.

And as for tagging other people take your pick out of my friends list i don't have much more than 5 anyway.

Also;

Good day.(just for a note i have the batman mask under there to)

Smashing Week

I've had a pretty intresting week, first of all on monday i went out and got a new sony vaio ar61 zu laptop. It's pretty sweet runs everything i want it to run even has a blu ray drive and 1080p screen, I can't argue with that. Played around with that for a few days then on wensday i got the news that a box was on its way to my house, a box that contained 2 copys of smash bros. brawl and 2 componant cables. But as i was at work i couldn't be home to accept the package. So Dash spent the day finding out where the depo was and the opening times so we could go get our games that we had gone through the horrifyng process of ordering. Which meant us doing 2 orders because renchi.com messed up the first order. Not to mention code junkies forgeting to send us 1 of the 3 freeloaders. So any way i go to pick up dash and we head out to the DHL depo in speke. All is well we discuss the game en route. However, when we get to the facility and pick up the package, it becomes shockingly apparant that there simply can not be 2 copys of the game and 2 componant cables in the package. We head back to the car open the package and low behold, 1 copy of the game. Great...

So after checking with the depo that this was the only package for me we head out again feeling slightly depressed. The cunning plan to get brawl isn't going so well. Even with the bad news we carry on with our plans and pick up our other friends and head to mine to play some smash. Luckily Pab (who wasnt going to order untill the last minute) got all of his stuff so we could succesfully play. After a few hours of some enjoyable multiplayer gaming we head our seperate ways and DASH the feind takes my copy of smash bros. and my freeloader! The cheek.

So i'm left with out smash for what seems like its going to be a week i've been on the e-mail to renchi and they are investigating it but they cant continue/wrap up till tuesday due to the bank holiday, it's getting further away. Oh well at least i'll not have to wait god knows how long for the eu release.

:(

On a slightly better note i went out to the trafford centre last night to hit up the arcade with Dash and Cheeg . It was pretty good, we browsed the shops (i bought a yo yo) the got some food and headed into the arcade. Where we were plesantly suprised. They had a tekken 6 machine which we got to play a few rounds on after standing behind some kid for 20 minutes waiting for him to lose. Lovley people arn't we? He finally lost and we played a few games why some little kid stood next to me repeatadly telling me the combo moves where on the side of the screen (i was glad the first time but the 10th time it became annoying). After being pwned by dash in pretty much every match we gave up and let the kid play what was left of our time on the machine. We walked around the arcade a bit played some house of the dead 4 (which is by far the best house of the dead game) and some time crisis 3 as is obligatory in a arcade. On the way ou ti decided hey why not have a go on a grabber? See what i can win, 8 quid's worth on 20p's later i won nothing and Dash and Cheeg had to pull me away, god i hope i never start gambling.

So that was a great night to, i've had a pretty good week despite not having smash, and since i have to go back to the trafford centre next week to pick up the extended insurance pack for my laptop i can imagine that will be a good night to. Any way i think i wrote a bit to much here so i'll leave you with a picture of my new best freind;

God Speed

Macbook? more like WHATBOOK!

I don't know if you can tell from the title but i have decided to not go with a macbook laptop now. I have instead settled on a slightly higherspec laptop for a only a couple of 100 pounds more. (Hopefully, i'll explain in a moment). I've decided to go for the new alienware area 51 series laptop why? Well just look at it for a start.


Not only does the insides look sweet but they got rid of those 2 black fin things on the back (which i never liked). You can change thecolour of all that keyboad lights etc to. The spec is pretty good to.

So the hopefully part is that there only out in the us right now and they won't ship to the uk because we have our own shop which hasnt started selling them yet. Hopefully the uk store will just price convert from the us store. If not i wont be happy, but i'll end up getting one any by the looks of it. Still not sure weather to build a desktop or just buy a friend linked me to there friends store so i'll check out there prices.

But as i said last post you know this already james, cheeg and pab. God speed again.

P.S i still want a macbook:(

Boring blog is boring

If you didn't pick up from the name i'm bored and it has promted me to do this. God save us all.

So i guess i'll just type about what is on my mind right now. Which is what to do about my computer situation. The background of this situation is that my pc has had problems for a while, when i play games it gets pretty hot and starts beeping and eventually shuts the game down. This happens with pretty much every game, at first i just switched some graphics cards around and it started working but its happening again. Long story short i want a new pc. Even if i get a new rig i'll probably end up trying to fix this to.

So, now i'm on the hunt for a new gaming rig and a laptop. For the laptop i'm thinking about getting a macbook. At times im certain that i want a macbook but then i'll see some gaming laptop and it will throw me back into not knowing. It's a fairly big risk though because to get these things im going to have to get a bank loan, because with out that i wont be able to get a new anything for months and months maybe even a year. I really don't know. Just got to keep thinking about it i guess. For the new PC side of it i'm fairly sure of what im going to get. Even if i buy it in parts and build it up myself. As i've said i'm unsure as of now.

I supose i should say something about games here this being gamespot and all, so at the moment i'm trying to play blue dragon but i haven't had much time for it in the last few days i'm only about 11 hours in. It's pretty good but odviously its not drawn me back in. I guess i'm like that with games i can play a game for hours but when i go off it and dont go back on it for like a day or a few days i start to lose intrest but when i get back on it i can play it again for the full day. I have a few other games waiting to be played on my xbox (condemed, graw2 and viva pinata) which i really wanna start but know blue dragon will be forgotten about should i start.

I did start WoW again but my pc decided it wouldn't run it any more. I barley got 3 kills for my quest before my pc began beeping. That's pretty much it as i can remember.

Nothing you didn't already know there though because chances are if you are reading this you know me lol.

God Speed.
