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

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.

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.

Big(ish) update.

Ok, I havn't written anything in a while, admitted. I thought I'd jot down a few points.

1. The PS3 was launched friday, march 23rd. Yes, I've been suffering serious gamer's depression - I really, REALLY want one. And of course there's rumours about "overheating" and "no backwards compatability"... As far as I know, bullcrap.
2. It's the easter holidays soon. Just thought I'd throw in a note.
3. Interestingly, my blog was machine-marked as a "spam blog". I don't mind, it took like a day to fix, but it was interesting how a few links can get you flagged.
4. I've dug up my old sonic obsession. As you may be able to tell from my picture... And I'll post a flash game at the bottom of the post.
5. I'm changing just a few things around the blog, just a few. My picture, bio, the "now playing" bar, the recommendations (now one thing per week).
6. Gladiators rules. Period.
7. I really, REALLY want to go and see 300. I was a massive fan of Sin City, so big in fact, I had to throw is onto my favourite movies list. Frank Miller's next outing looks pretty damn cool too.

As promised, here's a flash game of sonic. I managed to get to world 2-2 without dying.. Yay?

I'm not doing the HTML thing as last time I did, i got an error and had to re write this. GRR.
