Bunnies!

So me and my girlfriend, Bee, invested in some rabbits last week! We have been thinking about a puppy for a long time now and, although they are cute! They are too much of a commitment at the moment. So we went for bunnies :D

Minnie and Daisy! (not my choice... gf is a disney fan!)

Oh yeah... They shit everywhere! They will be litter trained soon enough thank god! Either way, they are much easier to look after than a puppy, and we can have 2!

They are awesome though... Very fluffy! Despite the gay names, I enjoy having them!

At least they are better than my sisters hellhound! He seems cute but he will try to eat your face...

But thats all... BAI!

Worst... Broadband... Ever!

For future reference... Never go with Sky Broadband Connect!

I was working on behalf of sky, selling the tv, phone and broadband packages and I would always push Connect if Unlimited or Lite wasnt an option. After experiencing this embarassment myself, I would never wish it upon anybody else ever again! My speeds are horrible and it never stays connected for long!

But... I have nothing better in my current area :( /sigh

Btw.. Here is a quick example!

TV Shows

So I have been watching Spartacus: Blood and Sand. I know it has taken me a while seeing as I first heard about it when it aired in the US last year, I just never got round to watching it! Having seen the first 11 episodes I can safely say it is a very worthy show! The only downside being that season 2 will never work without Spartacus! Andy Whitfield, being diagnosed with cancer, having it cured, then having it return again has made sure he wont be returning for season 2! Still, season 1 is worth the watch!



And then there is Dexter! I have watched this show through from Season 1. And now, with the last episode of Season 5 having been aired a couple of days ago, I can safely say that this show is still going very strong! If you havnt yet checked it out you have no excuse! Dexter is the shit :D



And that is all for now.. Will update with a few films I recommend tomorrow.

Bai!

I'm Alive!

So I am going to bring my blog back to life. Starting with a review of my new phone, the Samsung Omnia 7!

Windows Phone 7 as an operating system is in it's early days, but unlike the iOS, it is picking up pace fast! For a release version it is very stable! If only the marketplace wasnt so damn expensive... Just because the xbox live games have achievements, it shouldnt mean such a high price. I have, however, bought a few games so far which I do not regret!

But back to the phone... it's that screen that really makes things pop on this phone – it's almost like the feeling you get when you first see a Blu-ray on a proper HD telly: everything looks more real than reality itself. That thing is so bright, even the home screen makes a better flashlight than the apps on my previous iPhone 4!

Overall the phone is a fair trade off for my iPhone 4. Once Windows Phone 7 picks up, it will start to really take shape and I will hopefully get my moneys worth!

Buhbai

Long Overdue

So I figured I would post an update considering I havn't even looked at this blog for months.

Lot of new happenings since my last post anyway. For starters, I am 10 weeks into my Computer Games Modelling and Animation course and Derby Uni and it is all going well so far... Plenty of assignments but I am going to do my best to get them in on time! Lessons are fun even though half of them consist of random internet browsing and general time wasting.

On top of this I also moved into a new 2 bedroom house with Bert. Really cheap rent and a huge room so no complaints! Strange layout though and our bathroom puzzles most people...

Oh and very little 360 gaming now seeing as my console is banned due to unforseen circumstances (nothing to do with illegally modding it or anything of the sort(!)). Although, I have picked up PC gaming again since MW2 and I have pretty much been playing that for the past few weeks and nothing else. Great game but it is completely ruined by Infinity Wards rediculously retarded views of IWnet being a better option to Dedicated servers!

And one more thing before she kills me :P I love Beee!! And her 360 also got banned... My bad :(

So thats about it for now... I would say I would update this again some time but I most likely wont for another few months!

Enjoy!

Busy? Nah...

I don't know why It has taken me this long to blog. It's not like I have been busy... Just spend most of my time with my girlfriend or on the 360... Lack of money sucks...

I know I need a job but I'm so damn picky! Bah.... At least I dont need to pay for anymore games thanks to a new DVD DL drive and some DVD+R DL Verbatims :) God bless the Internet and it's magical ways!

That being said, I have been playing more 360 games and slowly raising my gamerscore once again. Don't think I will be in the same league as my cousin for some time though.



Bearing in mind, last christmas I was helping him break the 18k mark playing Halo 3 and Gears 2... He's been busy since getting live, that's or damn sure!

I need more games though... Thepiratebay.org is letting me down with the number of seeders on decent games and demonoid is just pretty useless for 360 games... I miss Blackcats.net =(

I am going to try and get my hands on Battlefield Bad Company. I don't think I gave it a fair chance the first time round so i will attempt to find a copy today that I can download overnight. Might play a bit of Fight Night Round 4 today at some point too... Could be entertaining.

Finished Wolverine Origins last night too. That was a brilliant game! I will probably go back and finish off the 2000 kills and get every upgrade for the achievement. Reflexes are a bitch to level but I may give it a shot. Once those are done I will consider playing through on hard. Wouldn't be too bad having another 1000gs game done. Speaking of which, I need to stick to games! Lately I have been playing games for a little while, getting around 100gs then never playing it again. If I was going for completion % it would suck...

Enough about games for now...

Watched the final season of Prison Break and the TV Movie the other day. So sad :( It was a great series and the finale was brilliant! I miss when it was a simple task of breaking out of a single prison... Had more meaning then... Kind of turned into Lost by the end of it and looked like they didn't know what was happening.

A few weeks ago I watched The Hangover with my gf. Brilliant film! So funny! I suggest just watching a trailer... The bit where Mike Tyson knocks out the fat guy will make you want to watch it! Not sure why, but the poster only shows 3 of the guys. The main dude that is supposed to be getting married is left out but I suppose you don't see much of him anyway. The main story is, 4 guys on a stag night... They go to Vegas and get completely smashed and forget the night before. They wake up with a trashed hotel room and a lion in the bathroom with no signs of the groom to be. The rest of the film is them trying to back track through what happened so they can find their lost friend. A bit like Dude, Where's My Car but instead of a car it is a groom*.

Great film! Well worth watching at the cinema. God I love orange Wednesdays...

Last week I went with my gf and a couple of friends to watch both Ice Age 3 and Year One on the same day. We watched Ice Age 3 first which was in 3D. God I hate 3D... They barely change anything and you have to wear ridiculous glasses the whole time. They charge 2 quid extra and you don't even get to keep the glasses! What a rip off... But it was our only choice! Tbh... Ice Age 3 was good but I still think the best was 1. Like most sequels... It didn't match up to it's predecessor. After a very rushed meal at Nandos (Sorry Pabs), we watched Year One. I love Jack Black in any film! This one was no exception. Deffinately the funniest film of the night! Another film that is worth watching at the cinema imo.

Speaking of Jack Black, he is voicing a character in an upcoming title, Brutal Legend! This game just looks like a fun hack and slash with the added bonus of the man character having one of the funniest voices known to the film and music industry! God I love Jack Black...

Here is some gameplay footage.

Video Games | Brutal Legend | Tim Schafer Introductory Walkthrough

XBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo Wii

Note: Avoid 'Land of the Lost'. Not one of Will Ferrel's proudest films to say the least*...

Going to watch the new Harry Potter on Saturday at the IMAX in Birmingham so will most likely report on that in my next blog at some point.

I really want to make these more regular but Im too damn lazy so I can't say when I will next update... Not that it matters seeing as my main readers are Pabs and my gf, Bee :D

Bai.

Small Update

I havn't updated this blog in quite a while so I thought I should add a quick post before my last exam... EVER! It is in about 8 hours time but I need to sleep first. I dont think I prepared enough but I only chose Geography for the possibility of school trips (which never happened) so I could never have put any kind of effort in from the start. It doesnt help that this next exam is completely retarded!

So a bit of a gaming update... Been playing some Prototype (PC) and CoD4 (360) recently. Prototype is a really fun game for general 'sandbox' play but the story line isn't anything great. The gameplay is kind of like a cross between the Hulk and Spiderman games on the PS2 that I used to enjoy purely for their destructive abilities. Really fun game to play so I think I will play it through on the 360 too for the achievements (once I get a new DVD DL burner at least).

Playing CoD4 on PC, PS3 and 360 lets me give a fair opinion on which platform is preferable... I go with 360 :P I am on 910/1000 achievement points at the moment (Need the intel, Mile High Club and a few random ones) and it is the first time I have completed it on Veteran. Spent half the time dead :( Also... Mile High Club is a dam difficult achievement! I must have spent around 3 hours last night trying it at least 200+ times and still no luck! Bah... Will give it another shot later in the week I think.

Urm... Films... Watched Night at the Museum 2 today with Bee. Great film but I prefered the first one better :P

Still to watch: The Hangover, Terminator: Rise of whatever, Transformers 2, Angels and Demons (Still havn't read the book and seeing as my mum left it in Cyprus last year, I never will!)... And a few more I guess.

That is about it for now. Will try to update it again later this week.
