Heyo Blog Readers!
Yeh I’m not good with starting these posts*, well the other week i split orange juice over my keyboard, sounds stupid i know. still after cleaning it, it still didn’t work, so i gave up, loaded up the on screen keyboard and packed up the broken keyboard. when I packed it up i read on the box it says it has a ‘Spill Resistant Design’ it even had a picture of a glass of water being split on the keyboard. now this isn’t a normal cheap keyboard it was a �20 Microsoft one, now �20 seems responsible, but this keyboard’s hot keys (buttons at the top) where limited and starting to break and it was ps/2 not USB. which sucks as i cant use it on my 360. I was a bit annoyed but meh I don’t keep receipts unless its a game or a DVD , maybe i should start.
I Played some Colin McRae-DIRT thanks to the demo, and damn its arcady, but it in a good way. I really wanted Forza to be a great game, but it was two simulation for me, I’ll end up buying it anyway. But DIRT is a great game, even the loading screens are great. After a while in the loading screen i saw the awesome loading screens and menus that was impressive then I started to play the game, a must buy in my opinion.? The controls took some time getting used to, but their was a moment where you just get how arcadey it really is. Good Graphics better than Forza.
That was the 2nd time a demo really impressed me on 360, the 1st being Crackdown. Apprently theirs a RC Racer game coming on the arcade tomorrow, If its any good I’ll buy it and post some thoughts. I am a sucker for those types of games (micro machines, ReVolt & Stunt GP)
Anyway, not much else, I know I said I would blog about a trip I booked, the short story is.
- It Cost �90 (Flights & Hotel
- I’m going for 3 Nights
- Flying with Ryanair
- Going to Berlin
Thats basically it, should be fun, expect a ton of pictures from that one.? I’ve also got a lot of general pictures ready to upload over the next week so look forward to that.
Bye
* It turns out I’m not good at finishing them aswell
Blogizzle 3 Beta

Yeh the halo 3 beta came out last week, after a bit of a delay, its out. now im not really a fan of halo but it was pretty enjoyable. first time playing it, it looked horrible and felt really werid, but after a couple of games i really got into.
The Graphics are quite good really and the controls make sense after a while, the whole triggers relate to a certain hand makes sense. e.g. if you have just one weapon it will be in your right hand and you fire with the normal right trigger and grenade with the other trigger. and when you dual-weld weapons it works with one trigger fires one gun and the other fires the other. that makes loads of sense. so I’m having a lot of fun with that, i’ll post some videos up on here if i get around to it.
I’ve also been playing a lot of Vegas, hoping to get some of the mp points in that to get over 10K Gamerscore soon.
Site news, I just found out that i can only have 3 sets on Flickr, which is a shame. I want to look for another image hosting that but Flickr is easy to use so i might stick with it, and it looks good on the site. Meh, so i uploaded some more photos.
Anywayz I’ll Blog next week about a cheap trip I’m going on soon, yeh CLIFFHANGER!!!!!

We’re Back… Bitches

I say we, theirs no we, its I. I’m Back… yeh doesn’t sound as good. well basically as soon as i got the site set up with blogizzle.co.uk I stopped. I don’t know why, seemed stupid but without anything to update on the site I just got board.
Until the other day, when I got my nominet (a domain name register company) letter sent though telling me i had blogizzle.co.uk. I kinda already knew when I bought it though. Anyway it got me thinking about this site and how much i could post more stuff on here, so I got rid of my poor design and migrated to wordpress.
The Old Blog sucked really, I learnt some PHP and MySQL from it and i really used those PHP skills on this skin. which looks pretty funky, you agrizzle? the logo is damn sweet.
I’ve also signed up to a Frappr account to host the pictures on, the little window thing looks pretty good on the right. You might have also noticed the Blogizzle 360 Leaderboard. Well if you have a 360 you should join it. get your Points on…..
Well thats it for this post. The Blog still needs some work but its getting their, i need some links to my MySpace and I’ve got some more Gallerys to upload.
Have fun watching that…
