Yes, once in a blue moon I make a blog entry as we all know. However, this one is even later than my usual late ones… did you miss me?

I suppose I should get on with the reason that caused me to want to make a blog entry, this being my Xbox 360… or rather, my new doorstop!

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah! Last Friday I decided that I wanted to play on my X-Flop 1.5, so I go to turn it on in the usual manner (this being with both my eyes tightly shut, a finger in one ear, and one finger on my other outstretched arm pressing the button). I hear it turn on and quickly jump back… no explosion, good, one eye opens hesitantly. A single red light and a warning on the screen… that's not so bad, I'll just turn it off and on again as it says on the support page and…

As you may well be able to guess, I wasn't best pleased to see a full red ring on my X-Flop (am I spelling this right?). As I understand it this means a problem with the AV cable in some way or another, so don't ask if it's plugged in properly because it is!
So far I've had four of these bricks and each one has had it's own unique problems. My first one kept crashing about 2 minutes into a game, the second brick's disc tray refused to open, and my third brick's disc tray literally destroyed one of my games! The fourth and most recently deceased member of the family had been repaired once but managed to live long enough to see me past the warranty period.

*sigh*

As it may well be a minor problem you would think I'd be considering getting it repaired… probably not. This one started to show the same faults that all of my other bricks had, and it doesn't have an HDMI port. The only thing I'm considering with this one is the camera angle I'm going to have when I record a hammer going through it!

The question now is am I going to get another one? Well I have four very good reasons not to… But enough about Microshaft… did I spell that right? It looks right!

I've got other news of course, but this will do for now. See ya around!

Hi everyone. Long time no see!

This is not the update I wanted to do, so at the moment it's just to show that I am in fact still alive. A lot has happended over the past... em, how ever long it was since I made my last blog entry?!

Anyway I plan on doing another update shortly after this to say what I've been doing all this time. Let me know how you all are as it's been too long since I communicated with any of you.

I may even put a picture of myself up on the next one... that's if anyone is actually curious as to what I look like? (no promises)

Tonight I'm going to watch the new Indiana Jones film so I hope it's good. Speak to you soon.

It seems I'm beginning to make a habbit of making late blog posts.  I suppose I had best start with the subject of PS3.

So on the 22nd of March me and Azel made our way down to our local Game store for the midnight opening.  Having got our timing completely wrong, we arrived outside at 11pm... "let's find a pub".  Not an incredibly challenging thing to do in England, however, finding one that was still serving drinks proved problematic and in the end, futile.
Having wasted quarter of an hour looking for a place to drink we decided to wait outside the store with the five or six other people patiently waiting to get their PS3.

We were allowed in at 11.30 to get us out of the cold, though it was probably just to stop us from cluttering the area outside the shop.  While in store (doors locked thankfully), a couple of idiots decided it would be funny to bang on the door and start shouting abuse... at least until a member of staff approached the door.  With the drunken yobs running down the street (god knows what the staff member looked like when he went towards the door), we were free to take in the sights of the store... "Sonic on PS3!" *pulls out imaginary magnum*

So, I got my PS3.  I got two games (Resistance and Motor Storm).  Am I happy?  Let's just say I can't wait for some more games to come out.  Resistance was great fun.  I noticed the graphics seemed much better past level 3 or 4.  It was as though the first few levels were added in afterwards.
Motor Storm was a bit of a disappointment.  The graphics were good, but it wasn't as violent as it first seemed.  In fact it felt like most other racing games to me

In other news, last week I saw 300 at the cinema.  I have to say, apart from a couple of bits that were quite pointless, the film was awesome!  The battles were great.  The choreography was fantastic, though the film it's self was a bit far fetched.
I have to admit, I had no idea creatures like that existed in ancient Greece 

I'll be going to Northern Ireland for the first time in July (my first time on a plane).  So I will be seeing lots of family members I've never even met before.

Finally, I am almost level 21.  It's been a hard journey, but the end is at hand.
