Seventh Entry - Away

Hey just a quick message to say I am away on work for a while so I won't be on the site.

I go away Monday 7th July - Friday 11th July

I am then home for the Saturday 12th (which is my birthday) I will pop on the forum then.

I am then away again Sunday 13th July - Friday 18th July.

It's worth it though because I will be returning with £500-600 wages! Which we go nicely with all my other birthday money.

Stay safe and i'll be back before you know it

Sixth Entry - Big Update

I haven't blogged in ages so I thought I would. Alot to talk about this time so i'll arrange it in bullet points.

College
I broke up from college Friday, I have from now until mid September off... a big break.

Birthday
It's my Birthday 12th July, i'm getting a iPhone 3G, Camcorder and a Macbook... quite alot but it's my 18th so my parents are getting it quite alot. Well I am buying the Macbook myself and they're getting the other two.. well actually we just got back from town with the camcorder today.

It's a JVC GZ-132 if anyones interested

Xbox 360 - Gone
I sold my 360 and everything xbox related today. because I'm getting a camcorder and Macbook I really want to start focusing on my filming career. So I sold it on eBay towards equipment etc etc. I think it was the correct thing to do, I will miss it but I still have my PC for gaming and i'll get a new DS Lite in Green soon anyway.

Coldplay
As some people are aware Coldplay bought out their new album a while ago. I bought it on Friday night and I have to say it's remarkable. There are 10 tracks; 8 are amazing and 2 aren't that great but overall it's fantastic.


So there you have it big blog I won't do another until my Birthday I reckon so see you then

Fifth Entry - Best week ever?

Hey guys, it's been a while so I thought i'll post.

My question is this: Is this week the best ever?

Today tuesday (today): GTA IV release. One of the greatest games I have ever played, seriously I could write a 1000 word essay on why it's excellent but I won't.

Secondly Iron Man is released this week, i'm seeing the advance preview thursday afternoon. Really looking forward to this film.

Also something that doesn't concern people on here but it's my deadline for my college work (four essays that I have worked really hard on and enjoyed writing).

Fourth Entry - Yotube Madness!

Heyy guys

I haven't blogged in a while so I though I would.

First Topic: Halo 3

Okay so as some people may know the "Legendary Map Pack" was released today on the Xbox 360. It's up on the marketplace down costing 800 Microsoft points and 400mb is size. The pack consists of three maps named "Blackout, Ghost Town and Avalanche".

I downloaded them about 11:30 am GMT and I must say so far they are pretty good. There isn't a matchmaking option currently uploaded yet so I just had a quick play on custom games. I also took the time in recorded three youtube videos (one for each map) just quickly showing them off so people can see what they are like..

The video(s) are now uploading onto Youtube as we speak, so i'll post the links back into here after they've finished processing.

So check them out later today

Second Topic: Games of 2008

Yesterday I made two videos themed around the games I am most looking forward to this year. Check them out here:

Part 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MiF1NX9L7tQ
Part 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOjCUJXh8x0

So what games are people looking forward to this year?

So yeah thats it really. I've been also thinking about changing my Gamertag to on Xbox Live. I bought 100 Microsoft points yesterday, spent 800 on the Halo 3 maps so I have 300 left.. BUT because I pre-ordered GTA IV I also get 500 points for free.. so that makes 800!

I'm not completely sure what i'm doing to change it to but I have a few ideas.

Peace out until next time

Third Entry - How you like them apples?

Hey c3

It's been about a week so I thought i'd update my blog.

Not much has happened I am currently on my easter break from college, I really didn't want to holiday because I just get so bored. But luckily it going really fast (already a week through) so i'll be back at college soon.

Cool thing: yesterday me and my parents went to PC world and other various stores that sell PCs, laptops etc because they wanted to buy a laptop each. After going back and forth we needed up in PC world.

They both found the laptop they wanted (my Dads was 1 2 Next
