...it's a brand new blog! Who'd have thought it?
Well no one presumably, because I haven't a clue if anyone reads this blog or not. That's the thing about the blogosphere - there's thousands, nay, millions of writers out there, ranting and venting anything and everything, and I reckon I fairly big percentage of them don't even get any traffic. I could publish government secrets here (if I had any) and nobody would know.
It's been a good six months since I last blogged (I still have a better track record than Maddox (www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net)), and since I've passed the first year of my degree with flying colours (or 'Merit', as the results sheet informed me). Well chuffed, naturally, but with great sucess brings the challenges of Year 2: Electric Boogaloo, which I'm currently nuts deep in. By 'nuts deep', I mean one term. I'm not going to come up for a euphamism for the full year, mainly because I can't be arsed and this is a redundant train of thought anyway.
Christmas was good, New Years not so. Says something about the NYE party that I went to that I drunk more tea than lager. There were a couple of punch up's though, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
I did make a new years resolution - I'm going to try and get a video review of something up online. I am shamelessly trying to be the next Angry Video Game Nerd/Nostalgia Critic/SpoonyOne/Yahtzee etc. I just need to choose a subject. And find my camera.
Just found it. And it doesn't work. And Christmas was over a week ago. WORST. NEW YEARS RESOLUTION. EVER.
It would have been easier to have resolved to blog more often, but I figure the irregularity of the blog is part of it's charm. It's not like there's a massive outcry for updates. If there is, lets me know and I'll do my best to act upon it within the year.
Time for the obligatory updates to the AWESOME list.
- The Guitar Hero: World Tour drum kit.
- In Bruges, if only for the bit where the midget talks about race wars.
- Iron Man, and everything to do with Iron Man. Previously, I have said that every man should strive to be more like Charlie Sheen in Two and a Half Men, but now I think we should all strive to be like Tony Stark. He's a billionaire, he gets all the chicks AND he has the most pimpin' suit of robot armour. IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT.
- The Viz.
- Dicking around with pirate DVD salesmen. This one guy comes up to me going 'DeeVeeDee? You wan DeeVeeDee?', and I went through every DVD he had (there had to be about two-hundred), giving them all bad reviews. I could have been stabbed, but it was a laugh.
- Peter Stormare
- Saints Row 2, which is infinitely better than Grand Theft Auto IV. Let the backlash begin.
I'm bored now, I'm off the build my robot armour. In a cave. With a box of scraps.
