so ive skipped out of day 4. mostly because im in no shape to do any wii fitting. I spent about 90% of the day in bed today so did nothing.
Oh but i will be doing the last day. Live over live stream. Well hopefully. so do look out for that.
Also its my birthday tomorrow, so i want to be all rested up for that.
In other news 1% from level 10. ill be adding videos here soon. and i know this is sad, but im actually quietly over excited about the xbox dash update due on the 11th... eeee
i had a cold during this , and almost deleated the whole video before i even got the editing started. so its not great as a performance or a great quality video even.
But bare with it.
This is just a link to a video my girlfriend made (with my help) Mostly because this wasnt actually on you tube anywhere.
enjoy.

this is just video 1 of 3. the others will be up soon.
But be warned the video is of such high quality , it took 2 hours to upload each, that you might just pass out.
no really. Go ahead and press the little hq button and then full screen it. I ruined it by putting spelling mistakes and bad grammer all over the place. But still... wow.
sorry , i got a copy of pinnicle studio 12 ahead of my birthday friday and the thing makes videos so bloody good looking my eyes are actually bleeding. I cant wait to get it into some really good use. lol.
Putting the wii fit programme up to the ultimate test. me. for two weeks .

Its strange how important that is to people.
Its so important that even on websites its become the norm to get a leveling up system for what you do. Grow to level 5 and you get a new skill. Its like life is slowly turning into some surreal game.
I get how it can help assist you in progressing. You become stronger and its a way of better understanding how capable you will be at tackling new monsters and challenges later in the game.
But it seems to be something that shows how "good" you are to some people. Your a better player if you level your character up to 100 or whatever the top end is.. Its not stricktly true , we all know this, Its more impressive to beat a boss at level 10 then level 30. Theres more challenge and skill involved. But its still seen as a sign of skill or talent to level your people up to 100.
Ive never fully leveled a character up in any game. Truefact. And ive had long sections of free time on my hands. Very looooong ones.
I just dont get the obsession with doing it to that extent. But thats just me.
Anyway, best get off, im close to level 10 on gamespot and will be able to post videos soon. And ive got to get those last 4 achevements in dead riseing. Looks like another 14 hour play sesh coming up. whee.
How would you change classic games ?
So I only really picked up and got into the first mecenaries in the last few months.
But I really really like it. Unlike the earlyer 3d GTA games it really holds up now.
So after the problems of the second game, and after getting as into the first as I have I got to thinking about what i'd do with the game.
Only one idea kept popping into my head.
MMO
Now , not just "make a mercenaries mmo!" But take the first game. Keep it as the basis for an mmo. Keep the visuals to just a bit above the quality there. Then expand the game not in graphics but world scope. Make it feel like a whole country.
Make the citys and towns 4 times larger, put small villages and outposts out there. Arms dealers that move around the lands.
Make the trees as distructable as the buildings. Heck even make it possible to blow chunks out the mountain sides.
So how would it work. Well not far from the original game. You are dropped in , along with how ever many other players happen to be joining that time, and you head to the local demilitrised zone and are given details of the different factions locations.
And at the dmz you can form squads or head off alone. And you fight to the local faction hq's and choose one to assign yourself with. The only ones you cannot join with are the Mob and the UN. Which one you join with will leave you assigned with mini tasks that you can carry out against npc's or active xbox players in other factions.
Joining a faxction also means you may sometimes help other factions on missions. join china and your un likely to assist the south korians but you might end up with the north korians in a team up mission.
Join the South korians and you might work with the UN.
Missions could be simple land capture based events or they could be assasination missions. Hitting a NPC leader or even leading an assult on an xbl player who is of a high rank.
New mission types would add camp resupply and creation based missions.
Head to another factions zone or a city and obtain a number of items to re inforce your camp or hq. Or use money saved from past missions to do the same.
Now you can leave your faction at any point , but much like the original game you must pay to join the new faction and your past faction will put an immideate number on your head. Making the choice less of a positive proposition.
And thats all ive come up with .lol. Thoughts please. And really , what games would you change or update and how.?

Im about to go live at my tv station doing some illustration clean up and colouring and possibly then some game stuffs.
Feel free to pop by , and see what im doing and send me any questions or comments. ill answer any i can.
So 1 vs 100 has really taken over my life this week, ive played every day in the new uk beta, and been trying to get the chance to take part as one of the mob or the one in the live show.
But to be honest , what are the odds.
Even in the crowd the odds of being in the top 3 are 1000 to 1 . even when i get all the questions right , theres still the fact that people are pressing the buttons at speeds that defy logic.
There is the worry that lag is effecting how long it takes some people to answer or for the answer to get sent back. I would actually love to be part of the mob though. just , not going to happen is it, really.
One other thing ive noticed about the one and many of the mob.
the people who get to play are almost all morons. If the question says which british theme park and two of the answers are disneyland paris or sea world florida then its not likely to be eather of those answers.
And the one having to ask for help because he doesnt know who the last primeminister (of 10 years) was next to two imaginary people.
Im sure some people got questions wrong for a laugh. but it total lack of bright sparks is shocking. It makes me really wonder about the state of the world we live in.
I mean , there are people out there who dont know who stephen fry is.!!
Maybe though , thats the tip for getting in the mob. Get all the answers wrong as fas as you can. hmmm. its worth a shot.
So im looking to start a new union. Its to be called The video game idea factory union.
I bet youve been at home, possibly just waking up from a nights sleep, or laying in the bath, and you've suddenly been hit with a great idea.
You think it would be brilliant and sell tons of copys. But thats as far as it goes. your thoughts. You would never tell anyone about it, and your even less likely to contact someone in the games industry to see what they think. So you keep it to yourself.
THEN , a few weeks later , someone elce releases a game almost exactly the smae as that one you had before. No way! you exclaim. how could it be someone elce had come up with the same idea.!? I knew it was great , i should have told someone.
Well no longer will you have your great ideas lot to the world.
Here we want to hear your ideas for new games, no matter how strange you might think it is. It could be a totally new game , or an idea for a new game in a long running title. We still want to hear it.
You never know you might get to actually make it one day , and we'll be able to say we were there when you originally told the world all about it.
The union will have votes on the best ideas each week and also we will pick our personal choice for game idea of the week.
the defferent features will include. Your originals.
Retro reborn (your ideas and thoughts on how you would bring back older games)
New mods. What would you do to an old fave to improve or change it.
If theres anyone out there reading this who wants to help me found the union please let me know. thanks.
