One Month On...

Hello readers, Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I hope everyone is feeling refreshed and ready to work hard this term, I am.

I bought six PlayStation 2 games after Christmas, they're getting cheap these days.

I bought:
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King
(For a bargain price of £1.95, brand new from Game in town)

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy
Jak II: Renegade
Jak 3
Killer 7
Killzone

There are reasons why I bought all of these games, some have great character design, others have great storytelling and back-story, and others just have a unique style. All useful in preparation for my game design task. Plus I wanted to buy Killzone to understand the story before the sequel is released next month.

Moving on, I have no reasonable explanation as to why I didn't blog over the holiday season, thinking back, I don't know why I didn't.

Just because I can, and I'm weird like that, I have some YouTube videos for my blogging comrades. Some of these (probably all of them except the last one) may be offensive to minors, so lock away your children. Most of them are kinda funny, but I enjoyed watching all of them anyway.

To keep it simple, I'll list these in alphabetical order. If you're not in the list, don't be offended! Just know that I didn't add you because you don't blog regularly. Yes I'm that harsh. :O

Bob: Ling Ling's Song


Joe: Gay Zombies


Johnny G: Horde Vs. Alliance


Kiwi: Pac-Man Cereal Advert (Early 80s)


Nathan: Harry Hill 's TV Burp - The Apprentice (again)


Ryan: Call of Duty 4 Review
by Yahtzee (His game reviews are almost always negative)


Last but not least,
Miss: Repetitive Caramelldansen-ness


In other news, I'm taking the role of "Organiser" of the After-Hours Gaming; that will be running on a Wednesday or Friday night at 6pm, I haven't sorted out when it will be yet. I'm also hoping to get the podcast up and running again, after some confusion and forgetfulness last term. My Gamelog is now up, it looks the same as this blog, but without the widgets and posts of course. That will be updated when I start one of my new PS2 games, because I haven't played on any of them yet.

If you read all this and watched all/most of the videos then congratulations to you. Thanks for paying attention for this long.

Oh yeah, a final note, I updated the music on the blog too, the theme this time is fire of course. But you already knew that didn't you.

Tracklist (It's on shuffle, but you should be able to guess who's who. Plus, it displays artist and track on the player if you look closely):

Franz Ferdinand - This Fire
Jimi Hendrix - Fire
Johnny Cash - Ring Of Fire
The Ink Spots - I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire (Fallout 3 Soundtrack)

Keep Warm this Winter! :D

Say Hi to Rick

If you haven't seen this video, where have you been?! This is one of the most popular and well known internet memes. If you need more information, check out the Wikipedia page: Rickrolling

To coincide with Nate's track of the week, here is the music video, and below it, an 8-bit version?! OK then.

Look closely in the first video and you should notice a young Barack Obama, dancing around. Lol. It's not really him by the way :P

Try turning off the sound on the video, and leave the Mortal Kombat music on.
