What is this? Im actually typing a blog? WTF?! Well, since nothing game-related has happened in my life recently theres been no point in blogging, but today something finally changed and i was really surprised so i thought id talk about it. Anyway as EVERYONE knows Halo 3 is out, but i unwittingly spent my last £20 last week on a Transformer (which could have gone towards Halo 3), somehow i forgot all about the upcoming Halo 3 release so at the start of this week when it dawned on me that Halo 3 was coming out i was kicking myself, and basically screwed over any chances i had of getting this game. Im skint most of the time you see, being unemployed and all, its not easy for me to just go out and buy a new game like most of you can, so i have to plan ahead and scrape together loose change to buy stuff with. And especially since my old car recently died and i had to spend all extra money i had on getting the new car up and running and on the road things have been especially tight. (BTW the new car is friggin AWESOME so i dont regret spending the money on it to get it fixed up and ready. I pimped it out with a holo graphic metal flake black and silver paint job, and decked it out with some LED's and a custom Autobot badge and a huge muffler tip hehe. She is really fast and looks great on the road, great car to drift and speed in too. :P) So, what did i do to get my copy of Halo 3? Well i havnt touched my Dreamcast, or my PS2 for months, i dont think ive even looked at my Dreamcast for a year now. Most of my PS2 games are just warming my shelves, collecting dust. Since i got my 360 ive had no need to play hardly any of them, same goes for the DC. So i packed up the old Sega system, got all its games together and picked out 16 or 17 old PS2 games (i kept all the best ones) that i havnt touched for ages, as well as a couple of PC games and chucked em all into a bag and traded em in. I went to Gamestation and i was only expecting to get just enough to buy Halo 3, you know what these game shops are like with their trade-in's, but somehow they offered me over £70 for the lot! I was amazed! So i went and got Halo 3, and picked out a couple of other 360 games ive been wanting. I was gonna get Bioshock but ive been craving a driving game so i opted for a 2 for £40 offer and got Forza 2 and Flatout: UT. I passed on Bioshock mainly because i already have the main FPS i need in Halo 3, and i figured id get more for my money with two extra games instead of just one. Plus Bioshock has no online multiplayer and thats very important to me as well. I'll get it some other day though as it looks great. I almost went for Stranglehold instead but again, i think id get more value for my money with Forza 2 and Flatout. So theres me set for the next few months! I might catch some of you on a Halo 3 match sometime. TIME TO FINISH THE FIGHT! Oh...and i just wanted to say...Death Proof FREAKING ROCKS!! This has only just come out in the cinema over here, so i managed to see the movie by "other" means. I was a bit skeptical about it at first, cos Kill Bill really disappointed me and im not too keen on Tarantino's old movie look-style gimmicks. But all that aside, as well as some overly long dialogue scenes the movie was great and really made up for Kill Bill, and it has one of THE BEST car chases EVER! When this movie makes it to DVD over here i will definateley be buying this one! Anyway....Halo 3 is calling. See you next time. (which'll be 3 or 4 months again probably) :P
