Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all have a good one:)

So 2007 has come to an end. 2007 for me was awesome, but sucked. Alot of things happened which were cool. Getting my PS3, I was so happy that day, theres been alot of awesome games released, my favourite being CoD4, which gets my Game of The Year. But the best thing to happen for me this year, was joining GS. Just think, if I didnt join I wouldnt have got to known all you guys, some of you have become great friends, I cant name you all though so theres no point, Ill do that on my 1 year on GS blog, so look foward to it. Joining GS this year was cool, firstly I made a few cool friends, then discovered unions where I made more friends, and then from there it grew, E3 was a highlight, me and a few of you were in one convo on MSN where we waited for the Microsoft Press Conference to start, which was alright for you guys, but it started at 4am for me:P The whole summer was full of sleepless nights, I stayed up until 4am each day on GS and MSN talking to you guys. The summer was so busy on GS, everyone was active, but as soon as it was over GS felt empty. Theres also been alot of sucky moments this year, while im on the whole GS subject I might as well mention things like Jeff getting fired and Rich Gallup leaving. But outside of GS this year has been real bad, after so many people left school there wasnt too many people left, most of them are my friends but about 3 of them are friends I hang around with, and then that day came that we egged the shop, well 3 of us did it, and the one who actually decided to do it got off lightly, whereas I got my second warning from the police, and my other mate got expelled from school, and school just aint the same any more, its quiet and its very dead, but its more of how he got expelled whichim gunna explain, so we did it, went back to the coffee shop and told everyone, everyone laughed etc. but the head girl dobbed us in, so we got busted, anyways, so we're suspended for a week, and Rob tries to tell everyone on Myspace that this girl dobbed us in, we come in after the suspension, and me and Rob had to go to the headteacher, thats when he turned around with two pieces of paper that had two print sceens of Myspace profiles on it, he pointed to some comments and my jaw just dropped, I didnt know what they were, but Robimmediatly started saying sorry, and then the head started shouting "How dare you!" I was just amazed, how the hell could he get hold of that? The head goes on Myspace? I smell BS....and then I realised, it mustve been our head girl who dobbed us in before, since the comment said something about her being a *****, and he got expelled. havent seen him since, but talk to him on Myspace. From that day on I was told I couldnt talk about it, but everyone was asking me where he was, which sucked as I couldnt say anything. So the school has been dead from then on. 3 days before Christmas holidays I walked into school and went to the coffee shop as usual, when someone told me on the way that someone smashed the CCTV camera and the coffee shop is shut. So I was outside with some other mates, freezing my balls off, and at this time everyone else went and sat in the coffee shop and smashed everything up, so I come back to form later and someone tells me that about 16 people have been suspended for what happened, then my mate Nick came in and said he had been suspended...for the 2 days we had left:roll: And he said that the head girl was the one who wrote down all the names of people who did it, and all her friends who were sat with us at the time said she wouldnt do that, so I reminded them of what happened to Rob...then another Girl came in, who was there with Nick and did everything he did in the coffee shop, the only difference being that she was a friend of the head girl. So Nick asked if she was suspended, and she said no...we didnt need to know anything more to know that she dobbed us all in. The next2 days where even quieter, all the people now felt how I felt because there best friends wernt there, I was fine myself, hanging around with some of my other friends, and the coffee shop has been barricaded, it has random bits of wood nailed across the door etc. so our school is on the verge of collapse, its been a really bad year, not looking foward to going back in 08, and I dont have to,could leave at any time, but I gotta be there to watch the school collapse as their best students have left,about 30-ish people have left (this is all from our year which is 6th form, so the rest of the school still stands but they could end up with no 6th form left) One thing im sure of though, the head girl is going down, me and therest of the lads will make sure of it;)

So 2008, it should be the end of all the bad stuff thats happened in 2007, made sure all this school stuff gets sorted and at least survive 1 year of 6th form...but the things to look foward to are another great year on GS, and other stuff, but another thing I cant wait for is my 9th boxing match which takes place on Jan 12th, I've been training for weeks and im in good shape, so it should be a comfortable win. Of course anything can happen, I just gotta stay focused, and make sure I get the job done, so wish me luck as both of us havent been defeated, he's had more fights though...but im faster, so im gunna knock his ****ing head off:twisted:

Happy New Year guys, and thanks for making this year alot better for me:)

Look out for part 7:D

The woman ran down the empty street, she was losing her strength, most was already lost, her legs couldn't carry her, the wave of destruction was coming behind her. I'm not going to make it, I cant outrun that...I cant escape. The woman ran and ran, but her legs finally gave way, there was a blinding light, but she could just manage to see out in front of her, a manhole was there, it was blown open, a huge whole leading down into the sewers, she knew it was her only hope, she looked back, no time to climb down, she had to jump. She closed her eyes and pushed herself off the edge, down into the hole.

She woke up, she was so relieved to still be alive. She was in so much pain, yet she didn't care, she just survived the destruction of Raccoon City. I made it, I actually made it. I'm alive, but where the hell am I now, and where do I go. The woman found herself in the maintenance tunnels of the sewers, it was pitch black and the smell was horrible, she had lost her gun again, and this time there was no others to take. Her flashlight was smashed, she could only see a little bit ahead of her, and her heavy breathing echoed through the tunnels. The deep cuts she had received from all that had happened were bleeding a lot, she used bandages and all sorts, but they were all dirty and bloodstained now. She was very weak and needed to rest, with no limit to time any more and no more threats, she only needed somewhere to sleep.

She had walked for ten minutes, she reached a door with a scanner and a small window, the room had a locked door, a computer and a small bed. I must get inside, it's the perfect place, but how do I get in. She noticed a air vent in the small room, below the bed. She looked around outside for the vent, she found it, but it was behind a metal grate. No! Come on, open...She looked around the small opening, on the wall was a fire extinguisher, she took it off and hit it against the grate, it dented, she hit again, it bent more, she gave it one last hit, the grate fell through. She crawled inside, her knees and elbows were burning where the cuts and bruises rubbed against the pads she wore. She got out on the other side and blocked the vent. She also made sure the door was locked. She then laid down on the bed, she was used to being thrown around, she was knocked out a few times, but it wasn't rest. Not like this.

She must have been the only R.P.D officer to survive, well, so far. She closed her eyes and had just one thought to herself before resting. I've actually survived, so far I've made it. Well done Josie...

Scott and his team were shocked, the team began to panic. Scott shouted, "Follow me, stick tight!" Shorty began to run after Scott, the rest of the team followed, but Ash was trying to take something from the body of his crushed team mate. "Come on! We haven't got time!" Shorty shouted. Ash grabbed what he needed and turned to sprint after the team, but as he turned he dropped a key card. They were running through dark halls, it was dirty and the walls were smeared with blood. Scott slowed down, he stopped in the middle of a corridor, the team caught up and got their breath back, hands on their knees. Scott's radio started crackling, but this time he heard The Captain's voice, "We need immediate back up, we're surrounded by the infected, they have taken most of Charlie team and we cant get through to Bravo. Where is your current position?" Scott turned to Shorty who looked away, he then looked at Ash who didn't have a clue. Damn, where the hell are we? What the hell is happening? Scott sighed and picked up the radio. "We're not sure, we know we're in a underground facility and that's about it, we're lost down here. We also have a man down."

The Captain and David were the only members left of Alpha, every member of Charlie was dead. They needed help fast. They were still roaming the tunnels, still not finding a way into the complex. "We'll keep moving through the tunnels, hopefully we'll find the place. Try and get in contact with Bravo if you can."

Bravo we're moving from room to room, somebody had been down there very recently, whoever it was must have been in the same room Bravo now stood in five minutes ago. The doors we're still unlocked, the timer automatically locks the doors five minutes after it was previously unlocked. They did a quick sweep of each room, then moved onto the next. Miller was looking at his PDA, it showed the facilities security system. "If this things right, then the next room will be locked, its only for the top employees." Simon moved up to the door, "Well, lets hope this person isn't a top employee then. Stack up." The team got ready, the doors opened, they all ran inside. There was a young woman standing there, her hands up in the air, she was cut up pretty bad, and looked very tired. "Don't shoot!" Simon lowered his gun, the rest of the team held their aim. "Miller secure her, take that too". Simon pointed to the key card in her hand. "Drop it and don't move." She dropped the key card, one of the team members picked up the key card and handed it to Simon. Miller put handcuffs on the woman. "You don't look like an Umbrella employee." The woman closed her eyes, she was caught. "Couldn't you tell by the uniform?" Simon took a look, "We all know none could've survived, you must've stolen the uniform, they all died in a hopeless attempt to save other citizens." The woman looked back at Simon, "Well, I survived..."

YAY! I finally made it out of level 20, it feels good! :D

Tomorrow night me and some mates are going to one of their houses to watch the boxing and get drunk, its gunna be awesome. Hatton better beat the crap out of Mayweather because Mayweather is a ******! Go Hatton! Its on at approx. 2am here apparently, so its gunna be a good night/morning. So who do you think will win? Hatton or Mayweather?

Simon and the rest of his team were well below the streets of Raccoon City, below the sewer system too. He had led them to a cold underground facility, they were walking through rocky tunnels and dark maintenance corridors, then suddenly they found themselves at a door with lasers going across, a camera to the right and a slot window looking into a small room with a couple of computers. The room also had a buzzer, it opened the door and you could only use it from the other side. Simon turned to Miller, he was good with the computer technology, "Miller, disable the security system, we need to get through this door." Miller got various devices out, he started clicking away and the team waited.

Alpha and Charlie came across a few bodies on the floor, it was very dark, they heard noises from further up the tunnel. "Hold this position" The Captain slowly moved forwards and around a corner, the rest of the two teams stayed put. "Carefully and quietly regroup on me", the teams re-joined The Captain to see something disgusting and disturbing, yet relieving. Just a few feet away there was a body on the floor, there was another human knelt down beside it. The human turned around, his face was half eaten, David took aim, "Well at least we didn't come here for nothing." The Captain gave the order to go loud, David opened fire as the zombie sprinted forwards, the blood was spilling from its mouth, the bullets ripped through the zombies body, they pushed it back, but the zombie was determined to get them, David was still firing, rounds and rounds pelted into its chest. "How come it wont die?" The Captain slipped the MP5 back into its holster, he pulled his Remington 870 shotgun out, "He's infected by one of the viruses, from what we learnt in the briefing I'd say it was the T-Virus." The Captain took aim as the zombie came running again, he took one shot and blew its head off, blood splattered everywhere, the zombie was still coming forwards and then fell to the ground just short of David.

Delta had reached a big metal door, it had a scanner on the wall but it was broken. "Bravo, we found a huge metal door, it wont open, it has a scanner but its broken. We need to get inside, is there another entrance?" Scott rested against the door and waited for a response. Five minutes later he got one, "Delta we're already inside a complex, it must be another entrance, but we can get the door open for you, just stay put." Scott's radio started cracking up again, just as there was an incoming signal. Shorty was about to say something when Ash cut in, "Wait! Be quiet. You hear that? Listen carefully, under the static noise..." Ash took the radio and put it against his ear, the others crowded round. "You hear that? What the hell is it?" Shorty took the radio and put it to his ear. "Its whispers, I hear lots of people whispering." Scott took the radio back, he could see them freaking out, he didn't know what or who it was either. "They're talking to each other...but there's lots of voices, lots of whispers." The radio started crackling, the lights started flickering too, then the door opened, it got stuck halfway. The static of the radio was getting louder as they moved into the complex, everything was white inside, but it was trashed, a smashed light was hanging from the ceiling, glass was everywhere. There was bullet holes in the wall and blood stains too. Their flashlights started flickering, "This aint good...at all." As the last team member came through the door it slammed down, crushing his legs. He started screaming, blood was coming from behind the door, flowing underneath.

Yay! SoI looked at my profile after an 'alright' day, to see I had a new emblem:) Well it put a smile on my face anyway, its always nice getting a new emblem:D

The Arc of welding.
To make sure a tournament's format is beneficial to all players who participate, there are rare occasions when GameSpot Staff will alert the competitive players of the world about a proposed tournament format for a specific game. These people were hand selected for their helpful feedback and will forever hold their emblem of a Competitive welder.

Its a cool emblem to have, I posted some ideas on a UT3 PC Tourney topic, so yeah, im pleased:)

Also, the next part of my story (Part 4) should come soon, maybe tonight, I need to write more though:D So look out for it, things star to get better now....they use guns to shoot some stuff...yay!

They kept on moving until they reached the end of the light, "Flashlights on, stay close." Scott turned his on, the rest did the same. The radio started crackling again, the light started flickering too. "What the...what the hell is happening?" Scott turned around and looked ahead, "It doesn't matter, lets keep moving." They walked further and further into the dark sewers, the radio had lost all signal, but was still crackling, they didn't know what was going on, they didn't know what they might find.

Alpha were sticking with Charlie as there was only one way down into the sewers from the position the teams were in. They moved through the dark tunnels of the sewer system, David went to take his gas mask off, the Captain was quick to stop him, he pulled out a device with a meter on it, he waited for a few seconds for 3 bleeps, then put it away. "It seems ok, you can take it off, just be careful." David took it off and took a deep breath. He choked on the ghastly stench of the sewers, the rotten smell. He immediately grasped his gas mask and put it back on. "Aw jeez! The smell! I could hardly breath, this sucks." David felt down about it, he was the best shooter on the team, always had the fastest reactions and good sight, but he hated the masks, they restricted his sight. "Ok you should all leave them on, maybe as we go further in we'll get to a cleaner area."

Delta had made progress thorough the sewers, they reached a vent with a purple liquid dripping into a puddle, next to the puddle was a body, the skin was ripped to shreds. "Oh god, poor guy...." Scott knelt down, he searched the mans pockets, he wore a white lab coat, it was now torn, dirty and bloody, and he carried a pass with a scanning code. Raccoon City Testing Facility. He noticed the logo, the same that matched his sleeve. "They have testing facilities?" Scott turned to Shorty. " Probably for their pharmaceutical products, we're told our bit, that's all we need to know." Scott rolled the guy over with his foot. "Why the hell would he be down here though?"

One of the new guys, he was young, Scott only recognised him by his voice, slightly higher, maybe because he was scared. His name was Ash, not his real name, but most got their nicknames after the training before officially joining, the guys never used last names, and they weren't known either, not even by the company, simply because they were owned by the company itself now. Ash got his name from the fire course in training, they had to move through a burning building, clear the area of static targets and dive out a window, all in a slim t-shirt and shorts, Ash managed to get stuck in the test building, luckily not getting seriously burned by the fire, only the ashes, and well, the guys picked up on it, and there was his new name. He was sensible, getting full marks in the theory, but clumsy, falling over and getting trapped in the fire. He was yet to prove what he could do. "He could've come down here, maybe trying to escape the accident'. Scott thought to himself for a few seconds, something didn't seem right. Ash is probably right, there's nothing down here, he probably came down here for his safety. Still, it don't explain why he's in this state. "Come on, lets move." The team moved on further, Scott took the pass with him, his gut instincts told him he would need it, but he couldn't even think of one reason why.

Scott left the chopper, he hit the ground and took a moment to try and see, the helicopters were blowing the dust and ashes around fast. Once the choppers left all was quiet. They looked around, a few office blocks, only part of some walls though. The street was cracked, cars crushed and burnt and just things like a bench on the sidewalk, all burnt, destroyed. Made them think that this was once a living, breathing city. People, normal people doing their everyday things, then this happened. Scott was amazed, he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Whatever they've done this time, they really screwed up, no hiding this one. Delta walked towards Bravo, Simon gave the usual speech about them following his orders and they will all be fine, Shorty wasn't listening, you could see right through his mask to his bored expression, he just wanted to get on with the job. The plan was for Delta to go west and Bravo to go east, then meet up at the city's centre where Alpha and Charlie would be. They split up, Scott led the team west, Shorty was by his side while the other four members were just behind. "So what do we have do first?" Scott looked at his PDA, "Well we just have to look for any infected, but we wont find any, so much for cleaning up, its pointless. They've already done it." Shorty stopped and looked at the other members. Scott took another look around, wrecked buildings, burning buildings, wrecked cars, burning cars. There was nothing to find. Scott picked up his radio, "Captain there's no sign of infection, I don't think there's going to be either, whatever that explosion touched is gone." The others looked at Scott, Shorty walked over to a melting street light. The Captain replied, "Well then look for places where the missile wouldn't get to, there's a massive sewer system below, I'm assuming there's a crater in the centre with the scale of this damage, but towards the outskirts there could be infected below." Scott put away the radio, "Guys, look for any way down into the sewers." The team began to search.

Bravo team were moving towards the east when they got the order to go below from the Captain. Simon led the team to a basement door in what was once another officer block, the doors to the basement were blown off and the steps leading down were cracked, they had to stick to the left of the stairs. The team moved down into the darkness of the sewers, they all turned on their flash lights. They were walking through some green coloured water. There was no sign of infection, but there was no damage done, it looked good for the team and even better for Simon.

Delta were still walking through the dead streets, noise started coming from Scott's radio. "Please....some...any...below...survivors...help..." the signal cut off, they didn't manage to understand what was said, the crackling of the radio cut out most of the sentence, the crackling echoed through the city, it was eerie. The signal on the radio was back to normal, with the Captain's voice shouting through. "Did you just get that? That ghostly voice, who the hell was it? We found a manhole, the cover is off, there's bloody handprints across the walls. Look into the sewers for any infected." The signal died again. The ghostly voice was stuck in Scott's head. The six words they heard, he couldn't stop thinking about it. They looked for a way down into the sewers, still not getting any luck, until they came across a manhole. One of the new members opened the cover, Scott jumped down first, there was a bit of lighting down there, the rest followed.
