In the past week I have made both an extremely expensive and an extremely inexpensive purchase in relation to games. Namely, Guitar Hero 5 and Budokai 3. Firstly, whilst Guitar Hero 5 is a mightily enjoyable game, providing hours upon hours of -marketing spiel here- it is still abnormally overpriced. The game itself is already overpriced at $114, but then apparently a piece of shit chunk of plastic now costs $100 to buy. Fuck you Activision. Activision, publisher of Guitar Hero and Modern Warfare 2, have gone off the rails. With the introduction of DJ Hero, Activision have decided to attempt to cash out with another pisspoor plastic device. The CEO appears to be spearheading this money grubbing scheme: What a schmuck.

Statements such as the following just go to show what a charming chap he really is: “… You know if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further,” and "The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games." aaand "I think we definitely have been able to instill the culture, the skepticism and pessimism and fear that you should have in an economy like we are in today. And so, while generally people talk about the recession, we are pretty good at keeping people focused on the deep depression." What a character.

Enough hatred and fury for now, onto my second purchase. For $16 this is probably the best purchase I could ever make. ever. It's the second time I've bought the game seeming as my old copy started to freeze and do all sorts of weird things, and I am addicted once more. To be fair, I am a dragon ball fanboy, but this game is so exciting and expansive that I would recommend it to most gamers. The colourful visuals, quick paced fights, and enormous variety of characters and game modes make Budokai 3 an easy purchase even 5 years after its release. It is definitely at least 12 times better than its subsequent releases also.

The moral of the story is that dragonball z is awesome, and bobby kotick is a cunt.

Sure, deuceo isn't really a word, but I don't really mind.

So welcome to the second blog post which will change your lives. I tried to write this last night but it was all 404town so that was obviously a hindrance.

Anyways, back to my important life which everyone should obviously care about deeply. I DID end up playing sonic 2 for about 5 hours the day after my last post which I'm quite happy with. I'm determined to finish the entire game in one go before I go to Nelson to see my girlfriend in 2 weeks. I don't care if I don't sleep at all until then because it would be worth it. The soundtrack makes me so happy too, everything about this game is amazing. Here is a taste of the music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vaBxXCH9b8

This makes me laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfLEOMo3hl8 and if it doesn't amuse you in the slightest I guess we have different senses (sensii?) of humour. (Of which, I am the clear valedictorian of all humour). I am quite the fan of ricky gervais; his podcasts, standup shows, tv shows, movies, and interviews are all well hilarious. Forrrr example, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_EXqdJ4L7I

Onto a vastly different topic, I've decided to become fit again so I've started swimming once a day. Well that was my plan anyway. Don't get me wrong, I'm swimming regularly, about once every 2 or 3 days, but I really want to be doing it everyday. 'Just do it' you say? You seem to forget the strong grip the internet has on me. It has gotten worse as well, instead of watching episodes of dragonball I am now trawling /b/ and /wg/. I've pretty much concluded that my real life is now over, and I will live a virtual life until the series of tubes is burnt down in the great internet fire of 2012.

Therefore,
time to go get another gigs worth of wallpapers.
Thats all folks

p.s. hi girlfriend

p.s.2 Sorry about no hyperlinks, it wasn't working so I'll just edit it later

Okay, so basically I'm starting this because I want, and need, to write, and this is the best way to get better at it I do believe.

I suppose my enormous fanbase, (thats you), would want to know a little about me. Basically, I just turned 19 and I stay home a lot. I like to go for bike rides with a close friend because I like the cold wind on my face. I'm addicted to the internet, and therefore play games like mybrute and max dirt bike just for something to do. I have a playstation 3 and am quite proud of it even though I don't use it much. I don't have a job right now, thought not because of lack of willpower. I don't know what I want to do with my life, and I don't fully know who I am either.

Now that we've got the pseudo intellectual, and hopefully interesting, part out of the way, (though thats not to say there won't be more delightfully exciting and vivid readings to come) we can journey onwards to my 'Infrequent Thoughts.' (See what I did there).

I infrequently think about how much I want to play Sonic 2, but I often let it fall by the wayside as doing absolutely nothing on the internet usually takes precedence. Today is one such day. I am desperately wanting to play it again though, so I'll let you know tomorrow or the next day if I end up being motivated enough to get onto it. I hope to one day write a review which fully expresses my love and nostalgia for Sonic 2. If you're unfamiliar with what I'm talking about, this here link should lead you in the right direction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_the_Hedgehog_2_(16-bit) or if you're a more visual person: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMDQtpw-_CY (sorry for the bad quality but I'm too lazy to find anything better).

Well I could ramble on and on about sweet nothings but I thought I'd give you just a taste and leave you begging for more.
Until next time dear readers!
