  It's the final countdown!!!

  as you all know i am a massive Metal Gear fan. one of my favourite franchises of all time and the idea of another coming in the next year or so just makes me want to cry with happiness. now the Kojima teaser site is on its final countdown and it has just got a whole lot more interesting. they have added 2 more letters to the formula as well as 2 pictures. now before we all managed to realise the code 5@E3 but now new letters are R and P. now i havent found a website that has commented on the 2 new letters because the pictures are far more exciting there is a picture of Big Boss and a picture of Raiden now these 2 characters cannot be in the same time period so it is most likely going to be 2 games. im thinking PSP and PS3 myself but the new timer will end as soon as E3 starts so i am going to stop speculating and just wait until then to be honest this new timer never had me that excited due to me knowing that i would hav to wait for E3 to get any sort of real answer but it was a awesome revelation

  in news of my own i have been playing a LOT of Fallout 3. im about 2 thirds of the way through the story but havent bothered going any further. i have mostly been exploring and doing side quests as i think they are so much fun i am level 15 and have 6 bobbleheads which means if i find 4 more i get a silver trophy which is pretty awesome so far i hate the Enclave because they have such good weapons. im going to play more today and hopefully finish the story, get 4 more bobbleheads but make sure i DONT save it when the story is done because i know it doesnt let you go back also i got Dogmeat yesterday. he is so awesome and when the DLC comes out for PS3 im getting the Dogmeat puppy perk for sure

  other things? emm i got Dirge of Cerbrus the Final Fantasy VII game that stars Vincent Valentine. it got it for the story because it is the only story i dont know. i have played Crisis Core, watched the anime, have the film and of course played the main game. its the only missing piece from my knowledge of Final Fantasy VII haha. only cost me £7.50 and the box and disc is in mint condition. thats what i love about working in a game shop. you find rare games and get to keep them for yourself

  well thats all the exciting stuff for now. i have exams right now and the Math Paper 2 was stupidedly hard. everyone had trouble with it and there was even a mistake in the paper. whats that all about it? as for Physics i have already passed the subject before so wasnt really fussed. it was very much like the last time i did it so i might get a better grade. we shall see. i have Computing a week Thursday so im taking the day of today and then its work and revising. fun stuff. but after next week it is Holidays for MEEE until i get my grades back and then meet up with the University guy.... i should really see if i can contact him again. oh well see you all soon

  Many thanks

  Project Trico

  i woke up today and check my usual updates on Joystiq.com and i found out that Team ICO have revealed the trailer for their new game, "Project Trico". it looks fantastic. it has the same art type (i hate how gamespot block certain words) you would expect from Team ICO except in HD. it looks brilliant. really atmospheric with a sort of cel-shaded feel to it. also it looks like there is going to be a close relationship between you and some sort of creature. they seem to be close and looks like this creature is going to be a big part of the game. much like your horse was in Shadow of Colusses yet with the ability to swim, climb and possibly even fly? it is certainly going to be interesting and a big title im going to be looking out for. i hope there is something at E3 i will put the trailer link at the bottem of the post.

  things i have been up to invovles work. although i was in Edinburgh seeing HORSE the band i was so happy watching the synth player (Eric i think) set up his synth, do the sound check for everyone and asking the sound guy to make it really really loud. was like getting beating up by sounds. was amazing they probably had the best possible set list for the time they had. and they played the song i shouted for in their Encore. was soooo happy proper epic. i went to glasgow the next day which was like every other trip there really. although last time i was in glasgow the fire alarm went of in this starbucks. no biggy. then when i walked past it this time it went of. i thought wierd but when i was in the apple store the fire alarm went of in there as well. i think im cursed haha.

  in game news i have gone back to DIRT and my cousin has tried to make a bet with me. it is to get 10000 gamerscore before May runs out. now we always have these bets and i never lose. like once he bet me i couldnt get 1000 from Sega Ultimate Collection. i said i could do it under a week. and i did it we always have bets like this so i cant lose this haha. will finish DIRT and then move onto either Mass Effect, Too Human or Kameo. any recommendations? after i win this little bet im going to go back to Fallout 3 on my PS3 because i really want to finsih it and give it a good chance get through it because i think i would really like it.
  

  well thats all for me today

  so until next time

  many thanks

  such a good day!!! plus burrrnnnnnttt arms.

  today was just a near perfection day. i woke up and was brought a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich in bed. was just awesome. then i look out my window and there is sunshine everywhere. i mean just such a beautiful day. i was just because i knew this day was going to be something special.... and to be honest it wasn't haha. but was still a great day

  i went into town to run a few errands but the most important one being getting the new Marmaduke Duke album. they are a Scottish band from Ayshire (outside Glasgow) and they do experimental rock. it is a really strange genre and i can't really define it but it is awesome. it is preformed by the 2 front men of bands Biffy Clyro and Sucioperro and they call themselves "The Atmosphere" and "The Dragon". it is weird i know but they are doing 3 albums following the life of "The Duke". the first album titled "The Magnificent Duke" was about how The Duke was sad and depressed and had quite a hardcore sound to it. now The Duke is feeling better and is back to party in his second album "Duke Pandemonium". much happier beat the last album is going to be labelled "The Death of The Duke" and is apprantly going to have "a completly disgusting sound". looking forward to it sorry i get excited by this band haha.

  so after town i went to my friends house to revise for exams (bad times) but we took a break and lay on the grass to sunbathe a bit.... but we both feel asleep and have total burnt arms haha. they are so red and stingy but it is due to our white scottish skin. it will develop into a tan i hope haha. was just so nice to be lying on the grass under the sun. good times for Stu

  not much else is really happening. Mac is still perfection... oh actually i got the keypad for my PS3 so i can type messages fast if i am writing a message or LBP comments. it is acutally really good. although it looks awkward and stupid it is really comfy to use and fast for typing. i really like it and is worth a purchase if you write a lot of messages on PSN. although the trackpad on it is useless. just use the controller. if you want to add me on PSN it is - sfraser182

  i am going to Edinburgh for a concert on wednesday. in fact you might know of them. they are an American band called "HORSE the band"? they are amazing. hardcore rock infused with synth. just awesome. is going to be insane. also going to the Apple Retail store to get some help, attend a workshop and get a bag for my Macbook is good times.

  
  

  well that is all so i hope you are all doing well

  many thanks
