Snow, WoW and other tidbits…

So I don’t really have time to blog like i’d like to! But I just looked out the window and I see WHITE everywhere! It’s 1am, I have big hopes for the morning, I LOVE THE SNOW!! :)

WoW – Yes, World Of Warcraft. No, not me, I don’t care for RPG’s, let alone these crazy MMO’s you have to pay monthly for. Brittney keeps going on about it, and so I decided to fix my brother up with the demo. He seems very interested by it, playing from his PowerMac G5. My thoughts? I’ll stick to GRAW, Vegas, GoW, the usual really.

Speaking of Xbox 360 titles, Crackdown – i’ve been downloading the game all evening, whilst not being here, I expected to get home and find it downloaded. After 5hrs it was on about 60% of 1.24Gb. What a joke, alot of people must be wanting to try out the latest Sandbox Run and Gun (with a hint of driving?) affair. Any opinions so far? I hear the demo features Co-Op too, I am really looking forward to that. In other 360 news, I hear a demo for GRAW2 is on the horizon, with murmerrings suggesting as early as 2 weeks. I cannot wait for that, be it in single or multiplayer form! A lot of unanswered questions about this game remain. PS3 fans will be gutted to hear that their version of the game, has been pushed back, despite PSP and PC versions being on track with the 360 also. Another kick in the midrift for Sony’s superpowered machine? Does anyone actually WANT a PS3 anyhow? I have a PSP which I love, but a PS3 doesn’t really do much for me, I only have the PSP because Microsoft don’t offer a portable gaming solution!
On other gaming news, my old man is still loving the Wii, most nights I come downstairs to find him bowling. Though of late things have changed slightly, because now he’s pimping his ‘PRO’ status at bowling, which also gives him a shiny blue ball to boot. Coupled with a score of 236, which he took great satisfaction in sharing, he’s been rather smug when it comes to his Wii gaming of late. Mine however isn’t so hot, I had a quick 5 middle dabble this evening and scraped a 100 odd, my worst round of bowling EVER! More-over, my arm STILL hurts from Sundays outing in the Baseball; cheers Nintendo.

Love your Mii? Maybe you’d like a Mii for the mantlepiece? Well, there might be a solution, i’ve contacted the fella, and he’s already got back to me, so here’s to hoping I can get my dad’s Mii made. It’ll be an awesome gift.

I picked up those headphones, Stephie, in the white form, cheers for the hookup. I’m hoping they’ll arrive tomorrow, or at least soon. These phillips ones I have are driving me insane! I’ll have to post a picture up, when they come to show you the difference between them.

- Suddenly this blog post has grown from a quick roundup, to more of a fully featured post! I must cut some thoughts, here now. More to come… (I did promise some phone chatter!)

Apologies to my buddies over at MB360, i’ve been very distant lately due to my own personal commitments. I don’t expect these to continue for too much longer (bloody work, basically) but yeah, sorry to any of you reading this, I don’t think i’ve spoken to many of you much in the last 10-14 days. I know the XL stuff is outstanding, i’ve been thinking about it, just not had time to sit down with it. Though there’s a Google document with some notes in somewhere hidden away I worked on last week… 8)

Finally… It’s STILL SNOWING!! WoooHooo!! :) Later folks.
