if you're already there, please add me as a friend, if not, no worries

(scroll down that page to see the blog)

Well...4 to 5 years on and my PC, or "the trooper" as i like to call it (or rather, not like to call it) has died, how it died i do not know, but there was a slight power outage in my own home, and i suspect thats what did it, because after that, it didnt start at all, some internal damage or something like that, who knows?

But now i've lost some important stuff in the process, and repairing it is an option, so i could potentially get that stuff back, but in the meantime, i've ordered a new PC, a gaming PC, something i've wanted for a while, but now im just worried something will go wrong in the process. Im going to miss my old PC and its Flexibility with old games.

(Im currently using a Laptop if you were wondering)

Anyway where have i been!? i'll tell you!...or maybe i wont...damn i dont even have a good explanation...other than Gamespot pretty much sucks right now...Ha!

On top of that i've had some friendship issues, i wont go into them here, but over the last 2 months things have been pretty damn Sh*tty for me, hence the title of the blog, i aint gots much left *cue the Aww*

Oh and on a bloody further note! im quite annoyed how Battlefield: Bad Company's servers are so full of lag, the games great yet a lot of us just cant play it, the lag's unplayable! :/

Edit: Using PS3 version

Hope its fixed soon...

Im talking about Brad Shoemaker's (eventual i guess) leaving

Ok so heres the thing, i knew they were getting shot down one by one, and i poked fun around the idea that brad was next...But i poked fun at it, so i didint actually expect it to happen but unfortunately it has happened.

So Yeah, I'm not going to namedrop like a lot of other people, about the place to go now, but this is truly 11 years of beautiful history gone down the drain, but it was kinda easy to see that at the end of november huh?

anyway in other news, im currently tired of Army Of Two after playing it through too many times and i am now anticipating the release of RS:V2, but in the mean time, im killing that said time, with a second play through of uncharted and of course, some WoW.

Well Jason Ocampo Is leaving Gamespot, after being here for 4 years and at Cnet's Gamecenter for 3, Jason was one of my favourite Editors here at gamespot, and heres why.

To me, there was no one else with such enthusiasm for a game, Jason was so passionate about games (especially the games he brought to Demo on On The Spot) and just gaming in general, so much so that he was the one i could really trust and rely on, I'll never forget his mannerisms and his often quirky way of messing up some of his words, and nor will i forget his Stellar PC reviews, especially on Hit series like Battlefield and Rainbow Six.

Jason always made me laugh, always made me warm, and always made me smile. Its going to be tough to not see him around anymore, but I wish him the very best in his future plans.

Goodbye and Good luck Jason!

I have just been in my cave cultivating a beard again with my fellow Gnomes, Dwarfs and Pixies alike, all the while sipping the great oak's tea out of a tiny little wooden cup! singing the fairies tale over the open fire next to the magic bridge, where the gnomes walk beepbeepbeep with their little feet, as they go teeheehee!

No seriously i AM alive, not that anyone was wondering.

Where have i been? well i aint been anywhere, you know, just...hanging around the site, i havent posted up a holiday themed blog either which kinda sucks but anyway heres a blog anyway.

First off, games i asked and thankfully got for Christmas, now before you go "hey, thats quite alot there Mr.Death" yes it is....But my brother got a real big Apple computer thing that costed around £1,400, so i....fleshed things out a bit *ahem* (the fact that i dont own some of these yet is a shame anyway)

Heres the List:

New:

1) Uncharted: Drakes Fortune-PS3- probably my favourite game for the PS3 so far, great great game

2) Heavenly Sword-PS3- Yeah quite a few months off i know, but still good so far even if i really dislike some of the animations, getting back up for example, I Love Andy Serkis' performance in this, you can tell its really him with that technology

3) Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools Of Destruction-PS3- My first ratchet game, so far only like 1 hour into it, so yeah...

4) Mass Effect:-360- Wow, what a game, altho im dissapointed in the whole exploration aspect...as their aint much to explore other than surveying gas giant planets. Story so far is outstanding, Bioware know what they doin!

5) Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3-PS2- First DBZ game i have bought for my self at least, only quickly tested a few things out with that so i still need to get stuck into it

6) GTA: Vice City Stories-PS2- Again only played like 1 hour of it, but its ok so far, kinda like liberty city stories obviously

7) Nervous Brickdown-DS- Now this is a fun but bugger hard game, good so far!

8. Pokemon Diamond-DS- Haha im gunna have to find the time to put all of that time into it...which is hard

Old - Games i owned or played:

1) DOAX2-360-Broke in March- yeah...your guess is as good as mine

2) Halo 3-360- Already completed it on legendary with my brother and his friend via 2 rooms and an ethernet cable, but had to own it anyway

Dont Know Where it Goes:

1) TESIV: Oblivion GOTY edition-PS3- Now technically i have already played the orginal twice now, and knights of the nine...but i havent with the Shivering Isles so i guess it goes in this...weird place

Yeah thats about it for games, got some other stuff too yada yada yada, will i do the same thing as last year and try and review them all? probably not sadly.

Oh yeah, i also took pics of those drawings of Rich Gallup and Ryan Davis i talked about a while ago, but since this blog is pretty long it can wait till next time.

Thats it for now, Hope you all had a happy holiday and well...still having one too.

Peace.
