  Curse of the Internet Wobblies

  Maybe it's my PC, but I doubt it has become so slow overnight and I have no virus. My internet supplier is Virgin and they can be pretty naff sometimes and It just seems to take forever to load up pages on some of my fave sites - ie here and facebook. Really annoys me when you pay for a service and it is not delivered.

  Anyway, enough of the moaning. I should really get a gold membership soon so I can do a few things I promised to do with people, but It's just finding the spare cash at the moment. To alleviate that I should really look for some work. I know!

  I'm in two minds over the new Halo game - I'm not sure I like the way damage turns the screen redder as you get more wounded. Plus, surely now with that disk providing all the old Halo maps, they could make them free to download for Halo 3 owners? Guess not.

  Finished Mass Effect the other day and the game is really awesome. I'm going to play through again a few times to pick up all the achievements I don't currently have. There goes another 120 hours of my life. Good job I bought the other half Guitar Hero for the DS to keep her sweet.

  Anyway, Green Bay are back to winning form after a humiliating defeat to the Bengals the other week, so all is good (plus I beat my housemate in our NFL fantasy league so I get bragging rights).

  Take it eay peeps.

  Be Lucky!

  I Need Me Time

  This post is a little down in nature but rather than contact the individuals in question I feel it is easier to say what I have to say here and get on with things after the fallout. Hopefully the fallout will be minimal as I like you all. Basically I want some time to myself and I find that I'm not able to do all the things I want to at home, play my xbox, read, study, spend quality time with Laura and my friends and family etc, plus try to find work and play a guitar I own and have barely picked up and still be a massive contributor to these forums.

  So, effective immediately I've decided to prune away all but one of my unions and remain active in just that one as it is my favourite and probably the most active one I am in. Therefore to DMR, Jedi or Dragonfly and Skatman, I'm afraid I'll have to resign my positions in your unions to concentrate on my input in the Console Generations Union. Please do not feel bad in any way that I have to leave and please I hope your unions carry on well without me. I hope to see you all at the Console Generations Union as I think it is a great union with some really good people there (you know who you are), so, DMR, Jedi, I know you are members, lets keep in touch there and Skatman, see you on the boards or online (if you have a 360).

  I'm hoping to soon here back from Rockstar games on a brighter note as I've applied to be a games tester at the branch in my home town.

  X Box Live and This Month's Gaming

  Well, I purchased Xbox live a little over two weeks ago now and I have to say that it is probably one of the best purchases I've made in a long while. I enjoy playing online with many of you guys here and now I find myself looking at games with the thought of playing them online in mind.

  This month I've especially enjoyed my time on GOW, GOW 2 with Benny and Halo 3 with Benny Garfield and Loopy. Horde mode on GOW2 will soon be defeated thanks to the help of some guys out there, you know who you are and the occasional visit from Jedi. Anyway, I'll say again, getting my 60gig hard drive was a worthy purchase as it granted me 3 months of live play.

  Other games I've been exploring this month include Mass Effect... I'm now a commando and I'm really enjoying completing the side missions in this game. SO much so that I've only uncovered evidence against the game villain and rescued a character from a planet under the primary mission paths. Forza Motorsport 2 has also been eating up my time this week and I can see it doing so for the near future as I try to unlock a shed load of cars and mod them up to the max.

  So, take care for this month people and if you want me to add you to my friends list I'm Scumdawg75 online so send me a message, but just let me know who you are on Gamespot if your online tag is different.
