  • 9Nov 09

    Wow I havn't blogged in such a long time, and it seems like I promised you guys a humungous blogg about stuff eh...
    Welll I dunno if thats gonna happen, because well, even though lots and lots has happened in my life since then, not a lot of it is 'brag-worthy', even though some of it as been on a level of unexplainable awesomeness (Tom knows what i'm talking about haha ) it's not really for here *ahem* Anyway you probably get the picture.
    But no, I thought it'd be polite to write a quick blog, to let you all know i'm still alive and visiting the site ^^
    Welll here is my lovely halloween costume, yes it's Tigger....and yes it's scary! And as you'll also see, my friends didn't dress up...even though they said they would Non the less they got called boring, and the amount of random peoples photo's i've ended up in, is unreal

    As you can see I was very scary

    Haha thats me been scary ;)

    Andddd as you can also see, my friends are very boring

    haha :D

    Okay so thats all for now folks, but I will be back on a more regular basis with little blogs like this to let you know how things are going, i'm just really swamped at the moment.
    Thanks for reading guys and gals!

    Well I havn't blogged for a while now, and a lot has happened in my life since then, both in 'the real world' and with my gaming life.
    Things have changed at work, things have changed with friends, things have changed with my 'love life'.

    So in dedication to all of this, i am going to be writing a humongus blog in the up coming weeks with everything I have to discuss like family, friends, events, gaming, women, sports all sorts.

    Don't worry yourselves, if theres only a little area you want to read rather than the whole thing, i'm gonna section it all, i'm also gonna put pictures in it to brighten it up for y'all.

    If you end up reading it all thanks, much apreciated, if you don't and only read a section i'm still pleased.

    So here's a toast to a huge blog in preperation (Y)

    Thanks guys

    Thanks Azure ...here goes.

    1. The first game I can remember as a kid was 'Alex the Kid' And I remember my mom completing it, how cool is that!

    2. I've had a lot of nicknames in my time, but the ones my friends seem to use is 'Tommo' even though I hate it....makes me sound like a chav!!

    3. The only film that has evermade me cry is 'the green mile' still makes me cry to this day haha, 'cause i'm all manly like that

    4. First gameI fully completed (or at least remember doing so) was Tombi back in 1999, I was so happy, still one of my all time best games to this day...even though i can finish it in just over an hour now

    5. In gaming frustration I have broke a total of 6...yes 6 pads, I realise thats a lot of money, what can i say I don't like to lose :S

    6. One game which no one would ever beat me on, EVER, is Timesplitters2, you may think you're good, but honestly, i'm so much better, I am the best in the world. End of (I'm not even been sarcastic here!)

    7. i have been in love, which I would highly reccomend, but would also advise you to prepare for a broken heart, it hurts like hell.

    8. I'm a sucker for a 'rock chick', they might not be everyones cup of tea, but I just melt around 'em muhaha

    9. I've been told i'm a good kisser, at least i'm good at something!...bwhaha.

    10. The way to my heart is to make me laugh, if you can do that, you're in my good books!

    11. Saddest thing in my life so far (excluding a broken heart) is when my dog died when i was 17 (2 years ago) we had him 10 years, he was like a best friend, cried a lot when we had to get him put to sleep

    12. I don't care what people think of me, love me or hate me, it's your choice

    13. I put myself down a lot, have low self esteem...the works! it's rare for me to complement myself

    14. i enjoy my music loud whilst driving my car, i also enjoy 'singing' along to it aswel

    15. Lets see, last but not least. I have a radiculous sense of humour, i'll laugh at the most bizzare things, most of the time i'll be the only one finding it funny, but i get hysteric very easily

    Well hope you all 'enjoyed' my pain there haha. (Thanks again Azure!!)

    Well it's my turn to punis....pass on the tagging, so I tag DARK_KNIGHT6, NIKKI-NO-CREDIT, SHIBEN and KAIM_I.

    Thanks a bunch guys.

    I know i'll dye my hair red...although it's gone pretty pink but eh you get the idea, in total i've raised about £180 which isn't too bad, all for a good cause eh

    well for all you amusement here's me with pink hair, and the first picture you'll of seen of me...well most of you

    Yes it's that time again, another rant from me. Well I figured this is the best way to get all of my anger and frustration out of my system, just to rant about it and note it all down, so here goes where to begin.

    So this week the former big bosses of the banks have come out and apologised, its okay we forgive you. Seriously what the hell? Are these clowns actually serious??? Oh let's say sorry that'll make things right, that'll cure all the debt and depression! Yeah bloody right pull the other one, now let me tell you, it's your blooming fault we're like this, you borrowed money you couldn't pay back and we've taken the damage for it, it's not on. So you think apologising will make things right, fat chance, in fact I despise you, you're all a bunch of clowns who should not be forgiven, and should become public hate figures. It actually makes me laugh, in an 'I'm so angry' sort of way because it popped up what these jokers earn a year, and get this, it was between 2 and 4 million!! Yeah that's right; these idiots get that a year to destroy our country and make everyone depressed, how does that work??? This country is in a right mess. The fact is, they've given a half hearted apology, but the second they step out of that room, they couldn't care less, they're just gonna go jump in their big flash cars, and go home to their 'perfect' families, and massive houses. Am I the only one disturbed by this? Oh and wait, you guys'll love this, we're the ones who bailed these buffoons out of trouble in the first place, that's our money in their back pockets, sickening it really is. I could go on at this all day but let's move on eh.

    Now I wonder if I'm the only person who has experienced this, but it's fickle, two faced friends, anyone else got any? But yeah, me and my 'friend' had an argument, because I spoke to his girlfriend. Now I well be hones I did say to his girlfriend, that i think he can be a, erm, how to word this, a pillock (Can't say, erm, to-sir...work it out) because he says stupid things like 'I will knock you out in two punches' or 'I want t fight with you to show I'm tougher', now is that something you say to your friends? No it's not, and when I told him what I thought he didn't like it. He told me to apologise to him so I said 'Look if i hurt your feelings, I'm sorry but you know what i said makes sense, do you not see that?' I guess he didn't with that, he had to dig up the past just o try and hurt me, he's an idiot, I've had it with him. Well I'll fill you guys in, basically couple of months ago me and my girlfriend split, for reasons that i can't really mention on here because its not my place to say, but she had a number of personal issues which was causing her a lot of problems, so we talked about it and decided the best option would be to separate for a while until things had been sorted out. But yeah, just to get back at me he said, along these lines because i can't put swear words in 'You're a ****ing idiot Lewis, I told you that you two would not last and she would drop you, and she did, you should've listened to me, you're a ****ing fool if you think she wasn't seeing anyone else when you we're together hahaha'. Now would a friend say that to me? He knows the fact we separated still really hurts me and he goes and say's something like that. Well no I will not stand for it, I have washed my hands for him, and so god help me if I see him he will get a mouth full to say the least, if he gets clever he'll be on his back staring at the ceiling before he even finishes his sentence, he's a horrible SOB and I won't forgive him for that, especially when he doesn't have the slightest clue why we split, ******* fool. Wonder if I'll get modded for this, eh soon find out I guess. But yeah anyway, why would a 'friend' give me such a low blow like that, its not on is it? Did I really deserve that? Bah....

    *sigh* Anyway let's end this session on a positive note eh. Well since as 'RND', red nose day to me and you, is coming up, and the slogan is 'do something funny for money' I have decided to dye my hair bright red to raise a bit of cash for the event, yeah BRIGHT red haha. So yes, I shall be looking a right dusche bag for a while haha, but all for a good cause eh, har har! Maybe i'll even ost a pic for y'all

    Thanks again for reading guys, really appreciated

    SHE DOESN'T AHTE ME, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. Thought i'd made her hate me, but she don't!!! Hurrayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

    Best news i've had for a while, to be hoenst wouldn't blame her for hating me, but i made a mistake, and i think she knows i'd never hurt her on purpose, so thanks for forgiving me missy

    Gah i'm happy. Now from here, i've just got to figure out how to win her heart back, hmmmmzzzzz, it will be a tough task indeedee but, i don't lose very often and if i can win her heat again I shall have the biggest smile on my face, you have ever seen , even bigger than that --->

    But the big problem is that, well she is as near to perfection as you can get, and i'm well, an 'average joe' well i'm lewis not joe, but you get the point. Good God, speak oh 'Hawwwt' *sigh* ones mind does wonder. Jaw meet floor, etc. Right put your tounge back in your mouth and continue on.

    Hmmm right, i shouldn't have blogged this down, stay in my head houghts!! *shakes fist*

    Ah well theres much more bizzare things in there believe you me

    thanks

    WARNING : This is going to be a massive rant, if you don't like rants don't read, if you're easily offended don't read haha.

    Right, where on earth do I begin, let's see, how about the god awful press. Well the press are probably to blame for 90% of the world's problems. Its there fault there's a recession, they tell us to be miserable and not spend money so we don't!!! Fact of the matter is, if the press didn't broadcast all this bad news, we'd be non the wiser, or at least not let it effect us too much. Let me ask you this, when does the press ever report on good things??? Very rarely, and you know why, because good news doesn't sell, is not right, and we must take some form of action against it.

    Again with the press, they are INCREDIBLY fickle, it is quite laughable really. I won't name names, or newspapers but lets see an example here, jade goody. All of the tabloids and news programmes, after the Big Brother 'incident' were calling her a racist and horrible, a pig, etc etc. But now she has cancer the tables have turned, they're all like brave jade this, our best mate jade that, and I'm like ''what the hell happened here, you were on her case a month ago, you fickle, fickle people'' Don't get me wrong, cancer is a horrible disease and I would not wish it upon anyone in the world, and I send my best wishes out to jade and her family, and I really hope she makes a full recovery, that's the honest truth, but the fact of the matter is, she's not the only person with cancer, young children have cancer, old people have cancer, lots and lots of people have cancer, unfortunate, but true. I just wish the press would make up there mind. it also makes me laugh how they're always on Clarkson's, and Jonathan Ross' case for saying things they should, then you turn the page and its a story about how asylum seekers are taking 'our' jobs?? Really fickle, it frustrates the hell out of me.

    Right now I shall move on to our 'leaders' if they can call themselves that. I live in England as most of you probably know, and I am a proud Englishman, and I love my country and heritage, as every person should love their country, but some of the things our leaders allow make me hang my head in shame. Question one, why is St. George's day not a nation holiday?? This IS England, and he is our saint(And before you try and be smart i know St. George wasn't actually English but still) And the best reason they come up with is that ''it may offend minorities living here''. To me that's a disgrace, I have no problem with any walks of life or any that live in the Uk, but we should be allowed to celebrate our nations day and hang our flags without been considered offensive, it makes m sad .For example, why do we keep putting people in charge who don't have a clue what they're doing?? Don't get me wrong I think Mr. Brown has been very unlucky with all the bad things that have happened under his time at the head, but I think we need to take a leaf from America's books and get some young, influential person in charge of the place. And so God help me if Cameron gets in change of the place, I'll have to leave the country. Now our 'leaders' lead us into an pointless war in Iraq. Who honestly believed ''oh, we've got to stop Sadam, and those warheads!!''.... Well if you did you're VERY gullible I'm afraid, we all know the forces moved in for that oil, after all its worth a lot of money! Do you really think they'd send that many troops to take out one man?...Point proved. C'mon people, let's get our guys and gals out of there, there is pointless loss of life on both sides, all for a bit of oil? Really we should be ashamed. Hopefully, Obama will see this and get them out of there, and Britain, being the lapdog we are, will shortly follow.

    Now here's an interesting one, today at work, me and a colleague were discussing whether there is life out there in space, we both agreed there was. We then moved on to question whether they had visited us and abducted certain people, again we agreed they had. But the most shocking thing we agreed on was that why these Aliens never landed, or made us aware of their existence, and its because they must be thinking ''Wow look at those humans, fighting and killing one another, backstabbing constantly, the world is a mess, we'll come back when they've taken each other out' Fact is why would any other races want to meet us? Are we really a desirable race? I'd say we need to step back as a world whole, and take a long hard look at ourselves, the place is a mess.

    Phewwwww, i can breathe now!!! Massive rant for you all to read there, is it me getting the wrong end of the stick or am i making sense here?

    Thank you guys so much for reading, let me know what you think....if you made it this far

    So you ask, whats this bad habbit of yours lew? Well i'll tell you, i have this really bad habbit of destroying, throwing away or removing the best and most important things in my life, and with the recent one its a step too far, so things have got to change.

    I'm sick of things going pear shaped, if you lik,e for me, i guess its true what they say afterall, nice guys do come last, so here's my plan.

    I've made a plan, nay a list for my new years revolution, and its a pretty big list because i need to make changes in my life to hope things get better for me, or a least manage to keep something that means a lot to me in my life without destroying it.

    I'm not exactly gonna tell you what i've writen on my list because its huge to be honest, but theres a lot of things on there which i need to change about myself and a lot of things i've wanted to do but never gotten round to it.

    I'll let you guys know wheni can cross something off my list and i'll tell you what it is too!

    Heh, until then! thanks for reading.

So rock bands on order and should be here before the end of the week wooho! And before you ask, no i don't want GH:WT, i've played both and i prefare rock band to be fair.

    Okay, so i've decided to get your questions answered for you. So i'll start from....from the begining I guess!

    Azure-Supernova wanted to know...

    ''Can I have your autograph?
    Left or Right?
    Echidna or Platypus?
    45. Special or 9mm?''

    Yes you can have my autograph if you really want it, I doubt it would sell for a lot of money though

    I'm right handed, and right footed

    Platypus all the way.

    9mm, regular stuff for a regular guy.

    MissMorphine wanted to know...

    ''do you consider yourself a fanboy of something?''

    Well, yes and no...If you'd of asked me a year ago i'd of said FF games, but not so much now due to my job and other important things I have to do, but dont get me wrong I still love playing 'em when I get the chance. FF7 most of all.

    Nicholai69 wanted to know...

    ''errr whats yah natural hair colour? wuld u go on a date with Reno?
    Favourite cereal? favourite game genre? top 3 fav movies?''

    Well my natural hair colour is brown, although it used to be blonde a few years ago...it changed.

    haha, don't get me wrong I like the guy but no I wouldn't, maybe we could go for a drink or two with others but, nah not a date, don't swing that way haha.

    Ohhhh fave cerial, erm, erm, ohhh I really dunno, call me old fashioned, but if I had to chose it would be good old reliable corn flakes

    Faviourate game genre, again changes from time to time, so I can't possibly say, sorry dude!

    Hmmm good question, i'd say, Dragon : Bruce Lee Story, Saving Private Ryan anddddd, Laputa : Castle in the sky (Epic film).

    AKayy_47 wanted to know...

    ''Ever gotten sensual with someone of the same sex when you were drunk?''

    I can 100% say no to this for a number of reasons, one, I just don't work that way, or so to speak, two I try not to get THAT drunk, and three, My dad would, how shall we put this, ermmm, not be best pleased if he ever heard such stories.

    Nikki-No-Credit wanted to know...

    ''have you got slipknots new album?????''

    Noooo unfortunatley not Nikki, But I have heard all the songs, and I quite like it, dunno what all the fuss about 'Slipknot suck now'' etc, I like it!

    shiben wanted to know...

    ''wats ur name posed 2 mean?''

    Good question man! Well in year 7, like 7 years ago, we all got id's to log onto the school computers with, and thats what I was given, the LT are initials for my name, Lewis Thompson if you didn't know .

    DarkxSoul713 wanted to know...

    ''hat are some of your dislikes and likes? Some hobbies? Single or Taken? Favorite color? ^_^ (sorry so late)''

    No problem for being late pal! dislikes and likes, hmmmm, wish you'd of been more specific! But I hate fast moving spiders, wasps, sea food (grossssssss) Larger....Erm I like my moms spagettie bolognase (spellings bad I know!), my friends, my job?, football; or soccer to my american friends, the smell of new things haha and ermmmm mint choc chip icecreammmm.

    Hobbies, just football and gaming really, dont have a lot of free time to get round to much more, oh and gaming of course .

    single or taken, hmmmm good question, well I would say niether, because i'm kind of inbetween both, i'm dating this really, really great girl, but we're not ''together'' but were more than just friends, so make of that what you will.

    My faviourate colour is green

    Well there you have it guys, some answers to your questions, thanks for asking them!!

    Yes a triple blog post for you today, i really really do spoil you, nah my blogs suck I know that haha

    Anywho lets start with the movies. I've been to the cinema twice in a week, once last wednesday and once monday, on wednesday I saw Stepbrothers, and its one of the funniest films I have ever seen seriously, I was nearly crying with laughter all the way through it, especialy in the epic balls on drumkit scene, haha work it out! . So if you have a sence of humour go see that film, if you don't laugh at it you're misserable enough said

    Is it wrong that looking at this picture just makes me laugh?

    And the film I saw on monday night was 'The Strangers'.....scariest film i've seen in a long time. Well its not so much scary its just creepy as hell and it makes you jump so many times, even when you know its gonna make you jump you still do, really really creepy, me and the girl i'm dating were like two little kids getting really freaked out haha. But no if you like a good scary film, go and see 'The Strangers' you wont be dissapointed.

    Look closley in the background of the poster, that is a bit in the movie that sends a shiver down your spine, creepy stuff!

    yeah, woooo 2 new games for my DS.

    First up is FF4, I just had to get it, loved the origional and when I heard it was comming out on the DS I thought yes please haha. Been playing it a few hours so far, and i'm pretty impressed a few neat changes form the origional which make it more challenging, IMO, of course the updated graphics and voice acting help to make it a more pleasing experience too

    Okay the second game I picked up was'Sid Meiers Civilization Revolution', the main reason been is that I like my strategy games and I'd had my eye on it for a while but was unsure, but thanks to a positive score form gamespot I took the plung and i've been playing a lot of it so far, and i'm enjoying it, nothing like making an allience and then stabbing them in the back when all there troops are out elswhere muhahaha, I did it to Nepolian, Ghandi and Catherin the Great in the same match muhahaha, you've got to play dirty to win sometimes

    Right yeah and last but not least, the L word, and I don't mean lesbian by the way .... Its the 4 letter word that i wont say, or type for that reason unless I mean it, anyway, yeah, but how do you know if you're falling for someone, any one fallen in l...? Urgh I dunno its confusing, I can't help but think its gonna be me that spoils things you know, my self doubt and low self esteem really get on my nervs because i can see it spoiling things, and i'm confused hmmmmmm.

    Well thanks for reading guys, if you made it this far I congratulate you! Have a cookie

    Until next time.

    Okay okay, now before I get started with this list, bear in mind that these top 5 bands of mine, are my current top 5 bands, because if you'd of asked me this question a year or so ago, the list would be a hell of a lot different, okay so are all the rules and regulations etc understood? Righteo, lets get underway then shall we?

    5 – Killswitch Engage (aka KSE)

    Before you say "ZOMFG he ist teh n00bz0r", or something along those line hear me out haha. Right yeah, I'm actually surprised at myself for liking these guys, but a magical thing happened to me about a year and a half ago, I decided to stop been prejudge mental on music and give it all a chance, hence why these are on my top 5 list. Like two years ago I'd refuse to listen to this kind of stuff, but I learnt that these guys have a lot of talent to do what they do and who doesn't like a good rock out every now and then eh? Muhahah.

    KSE's top 5 (I've provided links in case you're interested)

    5 – The Arms of sorrow ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36-wQVgIISo&feature=related )

    4 – Rose of Sharyn ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFQAWdRRChk )

    3 – Holy Diver ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp0_vLMrMy8&feature=related )

    2 – My Curse ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPW9AbRMwFU&feature=related )

    1 – My Last Serenade ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRWR6JwpIkU&feature=related )

    4 – Sum 41

    Aha, he's not so un-normal after all eh? Well maybe not, maybe so, who knows? Hmmmm yup I've always liked these guys, first started listening to them in about *thinks* year 7, sooo like 6 years or so ago. I like near enough all their songs and listening to ones like 'in too Deep' or 'Fat Lip' bring back a load of school time memories haha. Quite recently-ish they had a mini split kind of thing, but there still on the go which is good! (Y). Always good driving music, least i don't get funny looks off people for playing it loud which makes a difference!

    Sum 41's top 5

    5 – Walking Disaster (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Aq23FV_pZY )

    4 – In too Deep ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aq1Am8tBg_A&feature=related )

    3 – Angels With Dirty Faces (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9v6arOMJIs )

    2 – With Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fh61uElcOck&feature=related )

    1 – Fat Lip ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKsQe31ApMs )

    3 – Slipknot (haha guess you were right eh Nikki)

    (old masks but you get the drift)

    Now again, you may be thinking Slipknot eh? Hmmmm. But wait don't think that, think nice one Lew (Y) But yeah these have a similar store to KSE about a year and a half ago i'd of said, Slipknot? Get out of my face, you make me puke etc etc. But yeah I decided to give 'em a chance and broaden my music horizons and what do you know? I like 'em lots haha. But listening to the lyrics of their songs, they speak a lot of truth in most cases, and most of their songs have deeper meanings which i'll let you figure out for yourselves, again like KSE, I used to fail to realise the talent these sorta guys have. Both these and KSE's songs are brilliant driving music in my opinion, like a good rock out with the sound system blasting it out haha.

    Slipknot top 5.

    5 – Psychosocial ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wws7mnMewPw )

    4 – Wait and Bleed ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L43jk_3FGrI&feature=rec-fresh )

    3 – Before I Forget ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_09wFxoaeQ&feature=related )

    2 – Duality ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xps7AM8HbjE&feature=related )

    1 – Vermillion pt1/ Vermillion pt2 – Since as I like both parts equally

    Pt 1 – ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ppoo1EJ-Vrc )

    Pt 2 – ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoTUIe1-2fo&feature=related ) Couldn't believe this was Slipknot at first lol.

    2 – The Foo Fighters

    Hurrah! Eh? Hmmm... Anyway don't know what that was about, but I love the Foo's never fail to impress me with their songs, and they make fantastic music videos, true comic gold in most cases! I've liked these for a while and they were only just piped for my number one spot. But they have several songs which I could listen to all day; I just really like 'em alright!? The first Foo song that really caught my eye will have been, ermmmm, best of you or DOA I think, and since then they've grown on me.

    Foo's top 5.

    5 – Monkey Wrench ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ck2ygpSUg8 )

    4 – The Pretender ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVboOdX9icA&feature=user )

    3 – My Hero ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVKDQgT_b-Y )

    2 – Best of You ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DKXGpMGY_o&feature=related )

    1 – Everlong ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H0BMfqFP9c&feature=user )

    1 – Linkin Park

    Now these guys have been my favorite band since I ever started listening to music, and that will have been around about year 5 or 6, sooo maybe about 8 years ago or so. I like them because i never heard a music like it before when i was young and as I've grown up i've learned to appreciate it a lot more. I like the mix of genres they have going with the rap and rock sorta combo, I like it and it works well since they're so popular. But I often think that Linkin Park are like marmite, you either love or hate them and for me its Love. Their best song in my opinion is 'Breaking the Habit' I could literally listen to it all day i like it that much.

    Linkin parks top 5

    5 – Shadow of the Day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_eEE12R8Gw )

    4 – Numb ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCM6n86P-G4&feature=related )

    3 – One Step Closer ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5sx7OFPGOY&feature=related )

    2 – In the End ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZp2jAdBu1o )

    1 – Breaking the Habit ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCg3EgMXmqs )

    Well there you have it guys, these are my top 5 bands....well for the moment at least haha. So yeah was you expecting that? Probably? Probably not? Well that sure was an emotional rollercoaster, nah not really. But was good for me because I got to listen to all those songs in the list muhahahah. Okay wonder if that gives you any clues on what i actually look like, is the puzzle piecing together? Eh well is it? Wow I ask a lot of questions don't I!!?? See yet another one! Ah well if you havn't guessed of yet I am a wierd, but lovely guy honest J

    Okay thanks for reading etc, 'till next time!

    Yeah well i've seen a few of these things floating around here on gamespot, not literaly like but you get my drift, so I decided to do one myself.

    So here goes, 10 not so interesting facts about me you probably didn't know.

    10 - I used to play in goal for the Hull City youth team back in the day, I was considerd a future star, no joke, then it all went pear shaped muhaha hmmm.... Doubt you'll know who they are if you're not from england or don't follow football.

    9 - I have a scar running down the middle of my forehead, and i got that because I was stood on with a pair of football boots lol, never seen so much blood haha.

    8 - My favirote food is my moms spaghetti bolognese, seriously i dare you to tell me you don't like it!

    7 - I have, on a number of occasions, been told that my eyes look like that of a blindmans. I assure you I am not blind, besides how do you think i'm typing this?? Nah i get that said to me because my eyes are a real wierd blue (Y)

    6 - My beer of choice is Strongbow, can't drink larger, non of the males in our family can lol

    5 - I have a brother who is ermmmmm *Thinks* 23? i think, well he's 5 years older than me put it that way.

    4 - I work on a golf driving range, and yet I know nothing at all about golf, and I hate the sport, yet I was chosen to work there, strange eh!?

    3 - The line I heard the most from teachers in both school and college was "Lewis is a very capible student but is too easily distracted" yeah, my decreasing grades over the years have shown that, but the key thing is I know i'm not dumb, i'm actualy smart, just have a short attention span.

    2 - I am generally a very shy person, but i'm nice and all that sorta stuff. If you don't like me its your problem not mine as far as i'm concearned. I'll always tell people what i think of 'em too, no good been all fake and two faced now is there?

    1 - I am a very negative perosn when it comes to talking about myself, I find it hard to say good things about myself after all I am negative eh. But yeah negativity is my biggest habbit and anoyance

    Whoaaaa 10 super interesting things there, I do spoil you guys! Nah it was boring as hell I bet.

    Muhaha 'till next time!

  • 13Aug 08

    Yeah so my mom and her BF bought wii fit for the wii.....as you might of guessed. Anyway I was pretty scepticle of this product at first, but I have to say, it actualy makes me eager to exercise, and I never, ever thought i'd say that!

    But yeah, I get home from work everyday and get straight on it, its truley great fun! When I first did it I was pleasantly supprised to find out I am perfect weight for my height, but after a week of doing it i've lost 3lbs, and now I only weigh 12st 11lbs and thats pretty light in my eyes considering, i'm 6ft 4/5 hmmmm.

    But yeah its got all sorts of games on it, skiiing, jogging, and other exercises even yoga! i like the jogging the best, work up a nice sweat, and i'm not exagerating here, I actually feel fitter after one week of 45 min sessions a day. I could only do 5 pressups at the start i'm now on to 10, still very poor yes, but an improvement non the less.

    Yes I am a very lazy person but i'm not fat, i'm skinny and weak muhahaha, but i'm not push over believe you me

    Oh yeah sorry for another missed top 5 list, work is demanding again But i'll be doing kind of a double list next week, top 5 bands and top 5 songs for each of those bands, should be errrrrrr fun?

    Wonder if you guys can guess what music I like, maybe you can, maybe you can't, maybe you'd be suprised? Maybe not? So many questions, so little time.

    haha, 'till we meet again my colleagues.

    Yeah, so its my top 5 boos fights this week. I was gonna do top 5 NPC's but I found it hard to reduce it down to 5 so i'm still workin' on that one!

    Anyway this isn't a list based on difficulty or what not, its simply based on what I enjoy fighting etc.

    Number 5 - Emperor Griffon (Dark Chronicle)

    You might be thinking, hmmm he don't look like much. Fact is, he's not....not in this form anyway, yeah you guessed it he does get bigger and better. The reason this made my list is because its such a great fight, the story leads into it really well, and the game uses cut scenes before hand to get you ready for a fight with the evil emperor Griffon. Its an enjoyable fight on many levels, one because it can become quite tricky if you set a foot wrong in the early stages of the fight, evading his moves is key, also the music is great!

    Unfortunatley I couldn't find a good quality video of this battle on youtube

    Number 4 - Hojo (FF7)

    Again this guy might not look nothing special but he does change, as you would expect with a boss

    But yeah he made my list because it's such an epic boss fight, yes its an easy boss fight but I find it sooo enjoyable, and I think the majority of FF7 players would agree with me there. Like the Emperor Griffon fight, it also has brilliant music, and I think the music from this boss fight is my fave boss music of all time.

    Link to fight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa09gjofO44 (PS - Ignore the stupid names he given his characters)

    Number 3 - The End (MGS3)

    Now you may be thinking, is that an old man i see before me?....well yeah it is.

    But hear me out this guy is tougher than he looks! Infact he's a right pain in the backside.

    He's basicly a sniper and your job is to find him, sneak up on him and kill him before he takes you out, but unfortunatley for you he's a master of evasion and uses his parrot to find you, yes he's crafty But I get the last laugh by capturing and eating his parrott, yummy!

    Oh there is a cheat which you can beat him with but why eliminate the challenge of beating this guy??

    link to fight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeOJe0JEE8Q&feature=related

    Number 2 - Krauser (RE4)

    Yup I really like this fight, it gets your heart pumping especially when you fist play against him. He pops out from no where most the time, meaning you've got to kick his ass on numerous occasions before you finaly get him with that crazy arm of his (look at the pic) But yeah its great fun, well at least I think so!!

    link to fight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjGOpPfbkms (note theres tw parts to the video, use the side tab to find the other)

    Number 1 - Seymour Flux (FFX)

    (note it isnt seymour flux, I couldn't find a decent picture so its just regular seymour)

    Yup my fave boss battle this, maily because I struggle with this boss every single time I've fought him, I don't know why but I find it insanley difficult, the hardest boss in FFX by a long shot in my opinion.

    Anyway yeah thats why its number one because I enjoy a challenge and by god, this boss fight is a challenge for me!

    link to fight - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y6J_IJXy-I&feature=related

    Righteo, thar be my top 5 list again, i'll see what I can conjour up for next week.

    'till next time!

    Thanks.

    Yes guys i'm sorry, I have not posted my top 5 lists for two weeks now and I apologise as I broke my promise.

    But I didn't break it out of laxzyness, no I broke it out of sheer lack of time. My shifts at work has changed so monday is no longer my day off, I have also recently moved into my mothers for a while so it took a week to get those things sorted out.

    Hopefuly you'll forgive me and we should be up and running again next week

    And yes I bought myself a DS on saturday, I was stood in my local gamestation staring at them for 30 mins decided wheter to part with my cash for one, but I did in the end! I got the black one, looked the best to me, maybe not you guys' choice but I like it!

    Anyway I got Brain Training with it, my brain score is currently 28, and improvement from 58 which it origionaly was! :O

    I also got FF3 which is very difficult in my opinion, but I havn't played it alot yet sooooo,

    But yeah my verdict so far is, very impressed indeed.

    Thanks for reading see you next time!
