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
