No xbox makes Nicci try new things...
So, it has been a whole week without my xbox and I am feeling ok at the moment about it (although the release of Viva Pinata 2 this week has upset me a little as I want to join in in all the... Every cloud does have a silver lining...
It has been a loooong time since I felt compelled to post a blog entry, however recent events in my gaming life has necessitated my need to pen something. A few sad days ago my Xbox finally gave... Huzzah! I am employed!!
At the risk of jinxing my offer I am going to crow loud and proud that I am soon to be employed! It has taken rather longer than I had hoped, but yesterday evening I received a verbal offer of a... I'm back...well not really
Hi all - sorry for my absence recently. I am still sans job and this is taking up all my time at the moment so no ramblings recently. In fact, this is probably the first time I have been on this... I need a job...
Well that is it...I knew it was going to happen soon, but we are pulling the plug. Appears that our supplier's actions last week was the final nail in the coffin. As of yesterday I am officially... No Country for Old Men
Well, if you haven't heard about this movie it is the new Cohen brothers one. I went to see it last night at the Leeds Film Festival at the Hyde Park Picture House - an original, glorious,... Another year older, but am I getting any wiser?
Hey ho, it is my birthday today! YAY! Although I am little out of spirit if the truth be known! It isn't that I am a year older or anything (although that might have something to do with it!) I am... Hmmm, I appear to have slipped through a portal...
NO! This is not a critique of Portal (although I am loving that game!) This is more a confused statement - overnight it appears that I have slipped through some weird portal that has transported... I need to go sit down somewhere quiet and chant a few "Oms"
Do you ever get to a point in your life where EVERYTHING seems to be going wrong and things start getting on top of you? Well, I am at that point at the moment, and it is quite frankly ******* me... Huzzah!
Embargo lifted. Orange Box purchased. Happy bunny! :D A BIG thank you...
...to IGDetail for my wonderful banner art. I think it is beautiful, and am really impressed he has captured a little of me considering the PM that was going on on Friday...:D I really didn't... Harrrruuummmppphhh....
...I want the Orange Box, but there is an embargo on my spending at the moment what with my birthday coming up soon. Hurry up November 14...HURRY!! This weekend I have mostly been...
...playing Viva Pinata. Yes! You read right - I have been playing Viva Pinata this weekend and I have to say that I enjoyed it immensely, some relaxed gaming for a change without trying to get 10... Addendum...
OK, so after my comments yesterday about Halo, I gave it another bash last night and will revise my opinion. I still think that the split screen co-op not displaying in widescreen isrubbish, but I... I think that I might be too old...
I fear that I may be a little old for the whole "Halo" experience. I have procured myself a copy and slapped it in to my xbox yester eve. I have to say that I am just not sure what all the hype is... Bunch of AR5E !!
Ar5e ar5se ar5e. Forgot, my credit card has been stopped because some thieving scum has got hold of the details. HURRY UP AND SEND ME A NEW ONE. I have Halo 3 to buy!!! B****X it got a 9.5...
Dammit, Halo got a 9.5 which means thatI am now going to have to see if I can pick up a copy fairly sharpish. I was secretly hoping that it would get panned and then I could sit smugly by gloating... Completed Bioshock
Phew! I have finally completed Bioshock and I have to say "WHAT A GAME!" I have played through saving the little sisters and have (as I understand) seen the "good ending". I still don't know what... I thought it was just me...
...but evidently not! Hurrah! After much confusion, it appears that my Gamespot profile is now working correctly. Not sure if it just suddently "decided" to work, or some mystic forcehas sortedit... amazon draconian shipping rules...
Is it just me or is Amazon a right royal pain in the arse? I pre-ordered Bioshock for the Xbox with some excitement - had been following all the pre-release buzz for several months so when Amazon...
