Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it's....

ME now where have i been you ask? a number of places actually so i am going to try and make this blog as short as possible while trying to fill you guys in on the past few months. i mean i was getting excited about E3 as my last blog. and that was the reason i didnt blog. i didnt want to write another E3 blog like everyone else but then so much happened i just dropped behined. but hopefully i am back despite being busy in the upcoming months i miss you guys. right lets get started.


E3: Microsoft had the best conference but i dont believe Natal can change gaming like they say. Sony, Nintendo and some rubbish company that make plastic lumbs all made the point of players still need to hold something for interaction.

Nintendo: well it is what you expect mostly. a new Mario Galaxy is exciting and Metroid Other M was by far the highlight for their show

Sony: well for me Sony had the best content and have really got some of the best exclusive titles for next year. however it is all for next year also with PS3 Slim and the price drop i think Sony are set to take a huge leap... NEXT


Rockness 2009: this is a music festival near to where i stay. started of as a 1 day thing and has fast become one of the big festivals here in the UK which is amazing. had an awesome time starting on friday where i got so drunk i lost my friends band (couldnt find the tent they were playing in), got a picture taken with a guy with a horse head and yelled at some girl who said she knew me and tried to pull me (have a girlfriend). Saturday was good with more drink and an awesome dance sesh in the big tent with a DJ called Crookers. saw a few more bands but was mostly drinking. Sunday however saw a lot of bands and didnt drink that much since i was waiting for the higlight of the weekend... Biffy Clyro! they were one of my favourite bands but after seeing them live they are now my favourite band soo good. oh also saw the Prodigy. you must know them


Summer: now this summer consisted of work mostly and seeing my girlfriend Melody. i am trying to think back but i dont think anything of particular importance happened. just enjoyed the weather with my friends, played tennis and drank some lovely Wheat Beer. was another joy


Belladrum 09: now this is another music festival. i was at it last year if you remember. yea drink and catch up with friends on the thursday since there wasnt any bands. also did some promotional work for my friends band and met some nice people through it. Saturday i started the day by brushing my teeth with beer.... not the smartest move but hey thats me saw my friends band and a band called Bronto Skylift who were one of the highlights of my weekend. they are going to tour america soon so if they are near you pay a visit some more bands and didnt drink much (hungover) and then moved onto sunday. now sunday.... what a mess i was. sooo drunk and dont really remember much until i started sobering up about 2 in the afternoon... still really drunk. saw my friends Twin Atlantic (remember them? they were in LA recroding their album and it comes out in the states... BUY IT!!) and chatted with them. then drank some more and i gave a minute long speech about music for a shot of whisky. good times then saw Sucioperro and they were my favourite band of the weekend. truly brillliant. weekend OVER!!


University: now after i got back from Belladrum i decided to get my University stuff sorted. yes i got in and am leaving in 2 weeks this year i am studying Computing and IT and can continue that for a Honours Degree or i can change next year to do Computer Game Application Development. which i think i might do is exciting but dont have a place to stay yet :S think i am going down Tuesday to get something sorted.


Video Games: right lets see if i can quick fire what i have played, liked and finished. LETS DO THIS!!!

PS3: Fallout 3 - Love and finished, Eternal Sonata - Love and still playing, Fight Night Round 4 - great and not finished, Dead Space - Love and still playing, Batman - LOVE and finished haha

Xbox360 - emmm Guitar Hero World Tour Band Kit - love and nothing like some band practice

PS2 - Final Fantasy X - Love but stopped

DSi - Castlevania Dawn of Sorrows - great but stopped, Phoniex Writght 2 and 3 - good but hard Big Bang Mini - great but can get stuck in, Chrono Trigger - LOVE and near the end

Mac - World of Warcraft, World of Warcraft Burning Crusade, World of Warcraft Wrath of the Lich King... this is where i have been haha. love it. such a fantastic game and i dont care what anyone says haha.

so there we go my few months summed up in a, hopefully, bite size blog. oh and that Mac games bit made me realise... i got a MAC so much better than a Windows PC. i could never go back to Windows after using Mac OS X and the build quality and beauty of the machines is just beyond anything i have ever seen. worth every penny.

so yea i am back hopefully see you around your blogs

Many thanks
