It's baaaack!!

Coming to a cinema near you!

Joking aside, my best friend returned from his holiday yesterday, and yes, I mean my Xbox.

I plan on get BF:BC and Unreal Tournament III next week to celebrate. Until then, I'm just trying nail Halo on Legendary.

Later.

I finished School for 2 months today, I'm (not) gonna miss it. Basically my School is a chav-hive and a very nasty place for anyone that thinks differently to the general crowd. So, you can probably gather that I'm glad to see the back of that place.

However, I still miserable, I don't know why but I still feel really down. Maybe it's the fact that I spent 98% of my free time on the Xbox, the other 2% I spent blogging. So, somehow I have to bulk out blogging? Like, how? I spend half an hour a week on it, so can I turn this into major hobby? Whatever. I've been finding new ways of entertaining myself (Not like that! Dirty people), yesterday I actually sat down and watched grass grow. No seriously, I watched it grow, It bored me to tears, however.

I've been working on a new novel anyway. I wrote one previously, but gave up with it. Having played Devil May Cry a second time, I realised that I'd accidentally (Seriously, I didn't mean to.) ripped off most of the series. Maybe I should write the next game? Anyway, the new one is called Knife's Edge. How can I explain this.....You know how Harry Potter is about a school for witches and wizards? Well, this is a school for Assassins, notice how I put a capital letter there?

So, what else am I doing to stop myself going doo-lally? Eating, more. Yep, thought it wasn't possible, I'm actually eating more.

So, School's finished and things are still confusing me. I got an e-mail from Microsoft about my repair. Apparently I got an electronic from UPS. Anyone mind telling me how that hell I use this? By the way, I did the repair process online, and I'm in the UK.

There isn't much else. Work experience starts on Monday, I'm selling goldfish, how glamorous?

As if my week couldn't get any worse.....how could it get worse, you ask? Well.....

The dreaded 3 rings of death have struck again! This time, me. It's offical, my xbox has died.

It was only a blog post away I was saying 'At least I have my Xbox'. Not anymore. I was just playing CoD4, as you do. Suddenly the screen freezes. 'I'll restart my Xbox'. So I do, then the thing that I fear the most appears. The RROD. I hate life sometimes...

So I'm gonna send it off for repair.

Ugh.....What a crappy mood. I can;t begin to describe how crap I'm feeling. It all started this morning when I woke up and had to find to my DS charger to play Zelda:The Phantom Hourglass. A simple enough task you say. Not in my house. 2 and a half hours. TWO AND A HALF HOURS!!!! You wouldn't belive how many plugs and chargers for various things are lying around. Jesus, just so I could play Zelda? It's not even a brilliant game.

Then I get on the tram to go to my girlfriend's house. Simple again, you say. The tram conductor was positively demented and there was a group of chavs shouting 'blondie' and 'You have long hair, saddo' (I have long blonde hair, and I'm a boy, amazing, isn't it?). I had a nice enough time with my girlfriend, we talked, watched The Mighty Boosh and played Xbox, just generally had a nice time.

So I get on the tram home, guess what, the same narrow minded chavs were there. I swear they were riding trams that day. I got the same torrent of abuse, but hey, I'm used to it.

At least I still have my Xbox and my girlfriend. Oh, and I hate System Wars. Don't ask why, it's a simple task.

First of all, sorry that I haven't posted and responded in a good while, I've been a little preoccupied with completing Gears Of War (Done), playing Civilization Revolution and revising upcoming exams.

I'll start by saying that I got Civ.Rev on release day and I'm blown away by it. The controls feel so natural, the graphics are awesome and it's pretty much classic Civilization. It lacks much of the depth and complexity that Civ IV possessed, but it seems to add to a streamlined and smooth game. I can't decide whether it's better or worse than Civ IV, maybe when I play Revolution as much as I played IV I'll know.

I also completed Gears on hardcore. I quite like it, the last level was slightly underwhelming and the plot is nearly non-existent. But hey, we don't need no steenking plot when we got chainsaw bayonets (Genius!)!

I've also got heavily into Tribal Wars. It's an online RTS with thousands of members. I have 3200 points :D

Anyway, M'off to go and own as Gandhi. Later.

Yeah, I've had a brilliant Saturday, best one, since, ever. I went down to Patriot Games with my firend. Patriot Games is basically a roleplaying hub. It has stacks of trading cards ranging from Magic:The Gathering, Pokemon to WoW. As if that isn't enough, they also have every Dungeons & Dragons set and figurine known to man. Then there's LAN gaming with such games as Battlefield 2142, Soulstorm and Unreal Anthology. So, we went there and since my friend Adam is on good terms with the owner(s), we got to spend about 2-3 hours on the PCs, for FREE. We just played Unreal Tournament 2004 for most of that. As if that wasn't enough, we took part in the Dungeons And Dragons Worldwide Experience Day. So we were like the first people to play 4th Edition, like, ever. And we were playing D&D for 3 hours! The Game Master won, our team of 5 got owned by some Animated Statues and Skeletons, but it was fun, nonetheless.

Anyway, I've had an awesome Saturday, how about the rest of you?

Yeah, so today I did a deal with my friend Steven. Since his Xbox is away for repairs he got GHIII for PC. However he required a wired controller. I happen to have one spare. So, in return for my wired controller, he gave me GTA IV and Gears Of War. I haven't played them much yet but Gears Of War is already standing out. GTA however, slow burner?

I'm also really looking forward to Civilization Revolution. The PC versions are ace and I'm hoping it'll be just as good for the 360.

That's it really. Later.

Ok, bassically I found my copy of Morrowind GOTY in my pile of old PC games. I hadn't played it for a while and I wasn't very far on it. Anyway, I decided to find my PC version of Oblivion as well and play them (Not at the same time of course.). So I'll cut a long story short and say that I enjoyed my play of Morrowind much more than I did with Oblivion. The thing that sets them both apart is the sheer scale of Morrowind. You can play for 5 hours straight, and have only managed to explore a small segment of the map, whereas with Oblivion, 2 hours in and there's not much left to discover, in terms of scenery.

Anywhom, onto my life, I saw Indiana Jone and The Crystal Skull today. It was ok, but Harrison Ford looks like he's going to have a coronary every five minutes. but the effects were awesome. Howver, the story was the bad part, not spoiling anything but it was verging on a sci-fi at times.

Muggins here also spent 150 MS on a Slipknot theme for his Xbox, turns out it's so poor I can't see the xbox guide buttons. There really should be a feature that lets you preview themes, or a website. But right now, you just gotta download and hope you like it.

Also in my life, I think I'm the new prophet, I can just see things coming a mile off...Oh wait, I just completed Mass Effect for the third time, never mind.

Later.

I've been hearing some reports, whether they're a joke or not, that Resident Evil is rascist. Why? Because in the trailer, the main character is seen shooting a black man who had been infected. That's stupid. On that premise, Resident Evil 4 was rascist because you spent your time beating up spaniards.

Stupid, simply stupid.....

I haven't really been away, just hvaen't posted a blog in a while. So what's been happening? Not much, I did some GCSE exams last week. I got to use a PC because my writing is shocking, so I finished the two hour RS exam in 30 minutes and sat there in the darkened room where I was banished...

I've also been going back for some achievments on Mass Effect and I've finally unwrapped Two Worlds from way back at Christmas. It's ok, might write a review, I might not.

That's it really, oh and I'm back!

Later.
