Ever!?

So after a bunch of weeks of exams school has finally finished. I don't really know what to say, I guess it hasn't sunk in yet that I'm never going back to that school... though I do feel kinda annoyed that I wasted all that time, looking back I thought there was two options for me during high school;

1) Piss about the whole time, mess around and just have the best time possible and not care that I get bad results and just be happy I had a great time.

2) Work hard as hell and get the best results in the schools and be happy knowing I tried my best and got great results.

However I did neither of these, I often stayed off school because I couldn't be bothered going in and I also didn't work hard and I'm going to get medicore results... which I'm sort of regretting, I should have went in a lot more.

Maybe I'll make a more in-debth blog post about leaving school later on when I've thought about it more and I've actually realised that it's all over.

Right now I'm just sitting at home not doing much, just kinda enjoying the fact I have 11/12 weeks of just doing whatever the hell I like, then I'll be starting my computer course at College (although that depends upon my results, I need 4 Cs and 2 have to be English and Maths, I reckon I've done good at English and I'll get a B or a C however I suck ass at maths and... well I hope I've got a C)

As for games, still not much... Havn't played GTAIV for a good few weeks now, there's just nothing to keep me going back to it but maybe I'll get back into it in a few weeks. I bought Portal the other day and completed it in 3 hours, although it's a short game It's very enjoyable and it's easy to appreciate it as it's a unique idea and a totally different experience than what you get with every other game, it's only £10 so I recommend it to anyone reading this. Also been playing some Audiosurf, again another 'different' type of game, it's also very enjoyable however the concept gets dry after a while as there's lack of goals and you run out of good songs to use.

That's about it for now, not much more to say...

Well I took some photos of my room because there was some topic on some other forum I go to called "post your pets" and another one called "post your computer set up"

So I searched around for my camera then charged it and took a couple of photos:

Meh they're too big to post *changes it to links*

Well it's been a long time since I last made a blog post, not much to talk about really...

It's the beginning of the Easter half-term, so I'm just going to be chilling for two weeks... I should start revising for my GCSEs but I'm too lazy There's some booster lessons on during the half-term but I don't know which days, time etc. so I'm not gunna go to any. Also last Thursday I had my college interview, it went well and I'm actually looking forward to going to college however the IT course requires four Cs in GCSEs and 2 of them must be English and Maths, my estimated grades for English and Maths at the beginning of the year were C but for some reason when my year head wrote the thingy for the college she said my estimated grades for those lessons are D. I do fail at maths but I reckon I'll get atleast a C in both of them.

For Christmas I got a new gaming PC and it's pretty sweet, after some bother getting a new CPU and mobo things seem to be running fine, my specs:

E8400 @ 3.0ghz
nForce P6N SliV2 650i
2GB DDR2 Ram
nVidia 8600gt 512mb

Kinda cheaped out on the graphics card, but it does the job and plus it's kinda only temporary until the 9800s come out which should be in a few weeks, but I'm kinda thinking maybe I should just wait for 9800s to come out and get an 8800gt since the prices will drop, because 8800s destroy all games except Crysis and a 9800 is also gunna destroy all games apart from Crysis so basically there's no point in getting a 9800... perhaps i'll go with an 8800gt.

In other news this Wednesday @ 12 O'Clock I'm going to get my first tattoo! I went into a tattoo shop with my mum and booked it for this Wednesdday, it's nothing large or anything specific just a cool little design thing which I'm going to get on my bicep, I was thinking of getting the Kanye West bear but it'd probably cost quite a bit of money for him to draw it up and such, the one I'm getting on Wednesday is only some small thing and that's gunna cost like £50.

As for games... well I aint got into anything new, played COD4 over Christmas, it took like ~5 hours to complete, that game ****** rocks, the storyline is awesome and I'm currently playing through it again but I'm taking my time this time havn't played much of Crysis, don't really like it that much. I also go Assasin's Creed for PS3 for Christmas but the only time I played it was when my family came around and my little cousin was playing it, i drove around on a horse for a little bit...wasn't too interesting It's kinda sad that my mum spent so much on the PS3 and I never even touch it, there's just no point - everything it does can be done on a PC only better (and my pc is like a CM from my PS3) and as for games there just isn't anything eye catching on the PS3, perhaps except for Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Suppose things will change once GTAIV is released, I doubt there'll be a moment where I'm off the PS3

Well that's about it for now, till next time

Forgot to mention, great news - Ryan Davis and Jeff Gerstmann have started there own games website and It's going to be kick ass check it out here it's called Giant Bomb and they also do a weekly podcast called the Giant Bombcast, definitley worth checking out. They're gunna do all the general stuff GameSpot does, it's going to have video game reviews, previews, DRINK reviews (oh yeah) and ofcourse forums.

Hey, I havn't made a blog post in quite a while... havn't had anything to talk about really, still don't now my life is just the same old boring stuff day after day. It's getting closer to Christmas though, so there's something to look forward too too bad their's exams just before Christmas, I had an end of unit exam today in Science -.- bad thing is that I was off school absent Wed, Thurs and Friday and on Tuesday we didn't have Science because of some weird 'Enterprise Day'... so while the subject was fresh in everyone elses head (plus revising over the weekend) I was just sitting at home on the PC, I probably done pretty crap on the test but atleast I've got a good excuse and it was only out of 30 so it can't be too bad.

Anyway the purpose of this blog post was to link you to the images I just uploaded to my profile (some new images tab in everyone's profile incase you aintt noticed)

So here are 8 wallpapers I just had in my pictures and thought they were worthwhile uploading to my profile

The GameSpot badge looks uber hot, bad thing is none of the forums I go to allow that coding/html whatever

Well recently I've been doing absoloutly nothing, school is boring as hell and none of the lessons seem important at all, probably because I go in sit down, talk and then leave... same crap every single week. Weird thing is the weeks actually go quick, which I suppose is good however it's quickly getting closer to the end of year exams (mock exams) and 1 Science GCSE test.

As for games and stuff, I still havn't bought anything new, still whoring CS:S and nothing else. I havn't touched my PS3 in a long time and I probably wont until Christmas, there just doesn't seem to be any good games on the way, I used to be 100% console gamer but these days it's 100% PC and I don't even have a decent PC to be honest, I'm planning on getting a sick rig for Christmas though... can't wait.

It's September already where has the year gone.

GameSpot badge thing doesn't even work in blog posts properly

Hey guys, just another quick blog post.

It's Firday night and i'm sitting here with some damn Science coursework (that should have been handed in like 10 weeks)... my fault really for being so lazy, It should have been finished and out the way a long time ago, but seing as I was absent around the time it was given out and I lacked information about it I sort of used it as an excuse not do it and it didn't even seem important, but I still have the little I done from that time in lessons (which I never put much time/effort into) and It's currently worth 17 marks and I need a score of 20 to get a B, so I just need to add some source references and a bibliography and that should be it really, however I think i've got to write it all out again because my teacher scribbled all over it and crap

Oh and good news, I've finally reached level 34... again, I got cut back to level 33 for illegal activities, I was annoyed more info in last blog post.
