'ello Gamespot. It's been a while, per usual.

The Playstation Network is down. This doesn't really effect me at all, whilst I do have Sony's Playstation 3, I didn't play online at all. What I find amusing about this, is how angry everyone is about it. People claim they've been cheated, they feel betrayed, etc.

Sony doesn't care about you. Sony are a business. Sure they might've been working hard on fixing it, but ultimately it's for their benefit. Sony want money, and their losing money while the PSN is down, so their trying to fix the PSN. This paragraph is directed towards the generic Playstation fanboy.

I was utterly surprised by how many people were raging over the PSN being down, although I know I shouldn't be. I do know why you would be angry if you put your credit card details in and whatnot, but if your angry about the lack of the Playstations ability to play online, I say that there are many, many more things to do. This might be a harsh reality check to you, but this isn't the end of the world, hell, the PSN is probably going to be back soon anyway. Don't worry about it, go do something constructive I say!

So what's going on in my life you ask?... oh, you weren't wondering that were you. I'll tell you anyway. Might as well start of with random s*** I've bought recently, and go from there. I might even throw in some pictures if you're lucky :P

Recently, I have bought some games, not as many as I usually buy, because I'm saving money to build something, I'll explain later. I've bought X-Men Origin's Wolverine (which is actually a fun movie game), ARMA 2 (which I haven't played yet) and probably a few more that have left my mind. Both of these are fun games.

I've bought an awesome Atari T-Shirt, with the Atari logo in the centre and rainbow circles circling around it, it's very... Atari. I've also bought some Logitech X530 5.1 SS Speakers for... the thing I'm building.

So what have I been building? Why haven't I been on Gamespot much? I'll tell you what, and why. I'm building a MAME arcade cabinet! That's right, a stand up, two player arcade cabinet. Like the 80's ones. I got it standing the other day and I'm excited to get it finished. I really can't wait :D... these speakers are pretty neat too, been using them with my PC and I'm gonna mount 'em in my cabinet soon.

I've been listening to Deadmau5, The Distillers and Camp Kill Yourself recently, all of which are very different, and very awesome :). Though Deadmau5 and CKY have a lot of cr*p songs IMO, but the good ones are really, really awesome!

I'm playing through Mafia: The City of Lost heaven for the second time at the moment. It is the greatest game of all time... that I've played. Play it before you die. I tried out the second one a couple of months back and hated it, it's just too shallow. I might give it a playthrough sometime when I can get it cheap. I might do a review on Mafia after I finish it this second time. I've also been playing Wolverine, Minecraft, Audiosurf, On The Rain Slick: Precipice of Darkness series (which were really awesome btw, 'specially if you love Penny Arcade), Counter-Strike Source and a few other games. ' been enjoying them.
