SWAG! And some other things



Just look at all this stuff i got today. How awesomeis that. Very, that's how.

1. A free T-Shirt that I got with OPM. It says "This is living" and "Playstation 3". So, so good.

2. The crying game on DVD. Got it cheap because my sister advised me to watch it, it's apprently got one of the best twists... Ever. Review soon

3. PS1 GAMES! to go with...

4. ...The PS1, my old one, that I got from my dads today. When I nab a PS3 they'll all be lined up. Sweet.

5. Official playstation magazine issue 6. I was in issue 4. B'doing! I love the new vesion and I can't wait to read this - Details of GA IV and the new Ratchet and Clank games to come!

6. The Prince of Persia trilogy on PS2. I don't know what made me buy these, probably the ten pound cost. But they look cool, review to come.

7. Myst on PSP, 'cause nobody I know has heard of it and that's just awesome. Looks great too. Review to come, again. I'll never save my hands...

8. Free peanut M&M's from OPM. I don't like peanut but that was a cool touch.

Other shit

Umm, what else. Oh yeah, we went bowling today. Me, Gooseman (Joe), Mrs. Idontwinmuch (Zoe), The ben copycat (Lisa), and spanner (Hannah). Don't ask me about the names I just made them up. Anyway, I came joint second with Lisa, hence her name, Zoe came last, hence hers, and Joe came first... His name is because he has a oose in his garden.

Also, It's Abi's birthday. She's (finally) 14. so here's you mention.

*MENTION*

Happy? Yeah. Happy birthday pickle. <3

Behold 2007

Ok, so I should really update this thing more. It may seem like alot but I'm ashamed. I'm literate. I should be on here every day.

In the mean time, here's a run down of what's happening in 2007.

JUNE
In June, I'm going to London for the first time ever, as It's my cousin Suzy's wedding. I also hopefully get to go way down south to Huntingdon to see Abi and Vicky, also know as Ebi-san and Viki-san. They're these two ninjas who go around kicking gnomes and stuff.

AUGUST
In August, It's V FESTIVAL! With my sister and her friends, and my cousin. Lots of artists, going to be grrrreat.

SEPTEMBER
... The ninth is my birthday, and you know what that means. PS3. Oh, yes.

NOVEMBER
In November, I'm going to see Bill Bailey. He's one of my favourite comedians, like, ever.

Sheer Awesomeness

I'm so gleeful. Like a child at Christmas. I just found an amazing site, http://speeddemosarchive.com/, that has a huge archive of old and new video games being completed in record time. Here are some of my favourites. I would embed the HTML but you wouldn't like more than one video going off at once.

Alex kidd in miracle world:

http://speeddemosarchive.com/flash.pl?AlexKiddMiracleWorld_eu_1733

This was a childhood favourite for the Sega master system, although it was one of the hardest games I've ever played. I recently went through it using an emulator and the relentless "stop save stop save" technique.

Grand theft auto III:

http://speeddemosarchive.com/flash.pl?GrandTheftAuto3_14340_part10

One of the first game I got when I grabbed myself a PS2, and I never completed it. So, naturally, this segment of the speed run was quite awesome for me.

Easter updates


After playing a Lumines game for 30 solid minutes, I wandered downstairs to find mum holding my easter egg; I could have it three days early. Well, it's always a nice surprise. Anyway, I got this awesome Lindtt one, by Lindor... Anyway, here's a picture. I got a fiver off my Auntie and a tenner off my mum too, and I'll see dad sometime soon, sunday I think. If he turns up with a PS3 I swear I'll cry. Although the chances of that are slimmer than kate moss under a steamroller - OHH, somebody stop me. Ahem. anyway, yeah, he just spent like one hundred and fifty pounds repairing his fancy ass DVD player. Why can he afford that and not a multimedia centre like the PS3?! It's like a top of the line computer. My friend Abi was on webcam the other day on her friend's laptop, she took it into her brother's room and pointed it at the desk. I nearly fell off my chair when I saw he had one.

Speaking of PS3 I did some research, mainly consisting of flicking through this month's magazine. They definately aren't burning out, but there IS some limited backwards capability. you won't be able to play less popular PS2 games very well, but game like Grand theft auto and Metal gear solid should, in essence, be fine. I think It's more modern games. Sony claims you can play 60% percent of titles, which is pretty damned good; Although, on release, why are you trying to play PS2 games?! Get your hands on Oblivion, Resistance, ETC ETC. Scroll down for more about GTA IV too.

What else is going on.. Hm. Oh, Paige is coming round some time in the week, for a movie and food, pictures to come probably. Errmmm, what else..?

No, that's it for now. See you.

Oh, now I NEED a PS3

GTA IV Is coming.
Yes, this is the main reason I'm going to have to beg and squirm Even more for a PS3 in September. Oblivion was big. Blue ray was bigger. But this just looks mind blowing. Rockstar, my personal gods, have release the new trailer and 5 screenshots.
From what I can gather it's set in new york city, and you play as an immigrant or immigrant smuggler. He sounds Russian. Either way, the graphics look stunning, and it's not all gangsta stylie anymore. No, this is true GTA. Gritty, balls to the wall street violence. And trust me...
... It's gonna be big.
Oh, and by the way. There's a frickin' ROLLERCOASTER.
