It's my last day in my current job today and its mixed emotions. Of course I'm looking forward to the new challenge and the shed load of extra cash but on the flip side I'm going to miss the people I work with on a daily basis. It's hard to find people that you genuinely enjoy being with most of your waking life and my heart is heavy as I pack my box with my coffee mug and other assorted office items (if it ain't nailed down it's mine )


I would go into what I'm moving on to do but appreciate that to most of you this would be as interesting as the national paint drying championships! So I will spare the details suffice to say it's something very new and an open book in terms of how it's all going to work nationally.


With regards to the 'challenge' as documented in the last blog (see below) this weekend would seem like the ideal time as my G/F is away. But things are conspiring against me. Mostly the fact that I have found out (by the medium of being electrically thrown across the kitchen) that my house has no earth at all in the electrics. What this essentially means is that I now have to shell out £1500 for the house to re-wired so money is far to tight for buying and even renting games this month.


This is not a bad thing as it means my latest purchase Viva Pinata TIP is getting a lot of love in my house. My G/F enjoys watching it (and bizarrely enjoys imitating the piñata noises … the little said about this the better I feel ) and I'm enjoying the highs and lows of tempting various paper animals into my garden. There is not that much difference between this and the original but enough to keep it enjoyable and importantly a challenge.


I'm also (trying) to play C&C Kanes Wrath. I say 'trying' as the game keeps crashing on me. I have changed the disk at the shop but the prob still persists. This is not normally a problem but seeing as it takes ages to save and load a game it's really starting to ruin the game for me! I want to play it I just don't want to be making my next dominating, Napoleonic advance only to see the game freeze is anyone else having or had this prob?


As for other gaming bits and bobs my sprits were raised this month with the announcement of Pantasy Star Online coming to the DS I have gone on and on about this game both on the forums and blogs before. I'm so happy about this and cannot wait until I get my grubby mitts on it.


I guess that's about it and well this has to be my dullest blog ever LOL Must be due to my heavy heart today.

Well congratulations are in order on the moving on to a better challenge thing, so *hi five*. As for your Napolean advancement hindering due to a weird disc I have no answers, it is odd though that it's happening on more then one disc.

Thanks Swannzie *High five back* LOL it is indeed strange I hope it isn't a sign of my box going down the red ring route. It just doesn't happen with other gamnes?!?!

Hmmm sounds suspiciously like what was happening with UT3 with me before it crashed completely and killed my Xbox! I haven't dared try that game since I got my xbox back.

Sorry to hear that you are feeling sad about leaving your current job. Still it is good to hear that your working life isn't a complete nightmare - you gotta get on with the people you work with haven't you! Good luck in the new role btw.

Oh yes and at the G/F imitating Pinata noises...whatever turns you on!!

Every one has that Napolean rage that must be filled....hope you get it sorted, my firedn had this trouble with all but one of his games, 2 weeks later it was RROD time....

It sucks when cash it tight, but as you said, with the new job comes more cash so hopefully in a couple of months you should have got it all sorted and can get back to blowin all your cash on games!

and as for your GF making pinata noises...you love it really!

Congrats on your new job. have you tried looking for any patches for C&C?

Were you really thrown across the kitchen? That sounds pretty scary. It's so annoying having to shell out for stuff that shouldn't go wrong in the first place.

Well finally got my work laptop and it's up and running so I can get back to commenting on all this
@ Wavey Oh don't say things like that about my 360 (it can hear you you know!) it's only that game so hopefully ??!?! ...as for my G/F it doesn't turn me on thank you but she is rather good at a buzzlegum impression LOL

@WWIAB LOL yet more red ring woes stop tempting fate I tell ya!

@Macacd LOL what and let you be by yourself nah don't worry about it not going anywhere

@BBS I would look for patches but it's for my 360 fella and no updates as yet

@INKling yeah I got thrown by it .. my GF was laughing at the time thinking I was making it up ... thats true love LOL But hey once it's done it's done just means I can't get my Bond villan egg chair now ..ah well.
