Stuff..

Well looks like I might have a lot more game time on my hands, my girlfriend dumped me.. While I was away due to my mother being in hospital, no less. Low.
She says she still wants to be friends but is ignoring every single message, e-mail, e-card, e-everything that I do. So I don't think I'm going to make any headway.

Needless to say, I'm pretty bummed.. Just been lounging around, getting my mind off things with Oblivion and F.E.A.R.

The PS3 launched here downunder a couple weeks back now, I believe. I hear it didn't go so well, so Australia seems to be following suit. With them tearing out the hardware to do with backwards compatability and having a near $1000 AUD pricetag it's not suprising. Won't stop me from picking one up.. Maybe after a few price drops. I actually saw a few in stock though, unlike at the Wii launch where I could stare at the software and accessorys but not have access to a damn console. Though I'm skeptical of it and disapprove of the way Sonys been presenting themselves, I'm not going to outright condemn the console. Though the only exclusives I was interested in have jumped ship and will be available on the 360 as well I'm still interested in seeing whats coming out for the PS3. LittleBigPlanet looks promising and I'm interested in the 'Home' application.

 

While I was away we bought a few games.. F.E.A.R., which actually isn't terribly scary. I played the PC demo awhile back and didn't see why everyone was wetting themselves, have the game and am a little while in and still don't see why people are frightened.

 Have got Godhand also. I haven't played it myself yet but seems nice, simple and quirky. Which is fine by me. 

 Also I forget the exact title but it's a Sega Mega Drive Compilation. It's got three Phantasy Stars, three Golden Axes and Alex the Kidd! They were my main reason for purchase and I don't regret it.

 I also bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to find my PC won't run it at all, excuse enough to give my puter an upgrade hopefully in the not too distant future.. Gonna hopefully future proof it a little too. Last time we bought bare minimum to run whatever it was I wanted to run.. Probably The Sims 2. But It'd be nice too be able to purchase some PC games willy nilly with little regard for requirements, atleast for a time. Heh, course for a time. Whats hightech and new one week is obselete the next in the ever changing world of PC gaming and hardware.

 Getting broadband next week too, so should be on XBL more often and playing a variety of different games. Beforehand all I really played was.. Well.. FPS and stuff. They were the only games that ran with minimum lag. Couldn't do Fight Night or Wrestling. Now though I hope to do some WWE online. Should be killer..

OH! Before I forget, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl should be available this month. Super excited except for the fact I'll likely have to replace my DS also, lost during the move..

Anyway, gonna head back to Oblivion. Been toying around a bit and getting good stuff for my char before I get me broadband and can download Shivering Isles. Will be about time too, all I've really been doing is exploring random caves and shrines and it's starting to wear thin.
