It has been a while since I blogged, mainly because I moved to Africa for 5 months I arrived well and I have been here for 8 days now. I never been further from home then were I am now. The country is amazing, the weather is perfect, loads of sun. The house I am staying in is really big (I sleep there with 10 other students). Really good people, most of them are very friendly.

I have been to the university I am studying at for five days. Haven't done much, just sorting out student, parking and library passes. But all of that is settled so next week I can start my project.

We did some cool stuff here allready: we planted some trees for some poor people, canoed on a lake, went to a club called manhatton, went to a big mall where you can buy everything that you would be able to get in Europe (even a 360 I was concidering it for a minute ). They also sold these, I think Jonas will like them

today we went paintballing. We played three games with paintball. First one was capture the flag (there was one flag in the middle and two teams). I killed two and I got killed twice and our team lost. The second game we played capture the base (2 flags, if one team gets the enemy flag to there own base they win) I got seven kills I had the perfect spot on a tower and I flanked some guys, I only got killed once and our team won. The last game was elimination, each guy had two lives, I was really carefull and at the beginning I didn't get any kills, at the end I got two guys and I didn't die once, but I was out of bullets and out of money It wasn't clear which team one Paintballing was Great fun and I didn't do too bad

Tonight we will go BBQing, so that is gonna be fun too. I am hungry allready. I might post some photos later, so how have you guys been

Ok I am almost going to africa, one more night and then I will leave to the cradle of mankind. My summer holiday was pretty meh, cause I worked a lot. But I had some good times too. The last days I have been packing my stuff and playing my 360 a lot. Especially CoD4, that game still hasn't gotten old on me. I just prestiged for the 3th time I have also replayed Gears of War with a GS friend, DarkGamingDude. We did pretty well, but he seemed to have some problems in the cart section in act 3 We had a blast though. I also played some GTA IV and GH3 with GameShark5, which was loads of fun too.

So yeah I am gonna miss playing 360 with my friends, but it is for the better good. Africa is gonna be insane. I have no idea what to expect, but I am really curious how things will work out. I am staying in a house with a pool, with 2 friends and 7 other students. So I hope they are good people I am going on safari in the 3th week of September. I am looking forward to see some lions and maybe wrestle a few

My gaming will be put on hold, but I will bring my PSP so I can still game from time to time. But I got this feeling I won't miss it all that much, since there is so much other stuff going on to keep me busy. I wil still be on GS too, to keep in touch and to see what good games I am missing. I will keep you guys posted about the journey to Africa.

Take care everybody

ok I am really . . . . REALLY bored. So I haven't blogged in some time, so what the heck. Here it goes

I finished GUN, a western game for the 360, it was an average game. It is nice I got to play it, but I am glad it was a budget game and I don't think I will replay it. So now I got space to start another game. I have several never-played-before games, like Paper Mario 2 and GTA: San Andreas. But nooo, I start yet another old game This time around it is Bioshock. First time I played it I loved it, I missed some achievements though, so enough reason to visit rapture yet another time

Previous time I didn't get all tonics and recordings, so that is my goal this time around. O and I also decided to harvest all the little sisters not a smart move since there is an 100 achievement for saving them all So that is on my list too. There is also 2 achievements for playing on hard and with no vita chambers on (this means you must not die in the game). On a site they said it was not advicable to do all these things at once, it would be instant fail so I guess I can replay the game another time in the future

I played for 2 hours and fell in love once again the game is so beautiful and the atmosphere is very unique. I am gonna have a great time replaying this game in the next few weeks I will also be playing forza 2 on the side, since I want all cars (I finished all races already )

So to leave you guys on an epic note. I will be leaving to Africa in 4 weeks, for 5 months. Some of you already know this, but some might not. I am going on an internship for my study. I will go to the university of Johannesburg and I will get an assignment there. I am really excited to work there and to experience a new country and culture.

What does this mean gaming wise and GS wise. Well my console experience will be put on hold I will miss the launch of the redesign for the 360 interface, with the avatars and stuff but even worse: I will miss the launch of Gears of War 2. That is the second game I am looking forward to most, first is RE5 obviously. But I won't stop gaming for 5 months, it is in my genes, I would die without it I will blow the dust from my PSP and take it with me on the trip, I think I will get some new games for it: God of War and a puzzle game which name has slipped my mind for the moment. GS wise you won't even notice I am somewhere different I will bring a laptop and keep posting in your bloggies and put up blogs of my own. Just expect some nice pictures from the sunny south

Man this must be my longest blog ever and I bet nobody read every word of it, but hey you need something to kill your time right. Since time is death now, I think I will go and kill some Big Daddies now

Some people just don't have opinions. Like FuriousDolphin.
FuriousDolphin must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could FuriousDolphin possibly have for not rating a single film?
