Sims 3

Ok, I’ll admit my shame. I’ve been a fan of the Sims since the first game, I even would have picked up MySims on Wii if I hadn’t gotten rid of my Wii (or if my laptop could run the PC version). I’ve enjoyed both games and all the expansions but in truth I haven’t been looking forward to Sims 3. Why? Well the graphics in the early screenshots looked like they’d finally slipped into the uncanny valley, and beyond the open world and the graphics it looked like there was gonna be little else to offer other than higher system specs and a new £30 price tag. That was till I finally bit the bullet and watched the Developer Game Tour on the sims official YouTube channel. I gotta say it’s won me over big time, looks quite fun. I do wish they’d somehow brought a basic version of the creation tools in Spore into the game to allow some basic customisation for people without the ability to model but even without that the game looks vast, fun, and the iron bladder perk sounds like a god sent if I can unlock it. All the more reason for me to start saving for that new PC a? Enjoy:

Been A While

Hey dudes and dudes-with-bewbs, if any of you are even still checking this thing. Sorry for the long silence, works been taking up a lot of my time and life's been crushed into the weekends I’d normally use to update. Once again sorry. I’ve been off work for two days ill though so fingers crossed my concentration is here enough to churn out a post or two but I promise nothing!

So, I’ve finally begun to get used to this NetBook although it has presented me with some issues.

1. Even though it’s exactly the same specs as my crap-top and even runs WoW better, after spending 4 days downloading a copy of FFXI (because my copy is on CD and NetBooks don’t have CD drives) I discover it runs it about as good as  I run marathons, same goes for a few other games, but no major kick in the knackers, gaming isn’t the reason I got this little thing, interwebs is! Which leads onto problem…

2. Even though this little thing is designed for web use, you know, MSN, Blogging, and browsing the net, due to it’s…hell I dunno what flash consumes but I’m gonna pretend I know and say due to it’s RAM flash heavy sites (so most sites with banner ad’s by fucktards like Sky or O2) cause IE and FireFox to both throw hissy-fits on a scale which will probably force you to ctrl+alt+delete your way out killing any downloads you had on the go as well as any sites you was looking at…really spoils a porn-a-thon you know!

3. This is a Netbook, as I’ve said, their designed for net based stuff, one of those being Blogging. It comes with a basic webcam for Vloggers but that I have no issue with. My problem is that Windows Live Writer isn’t designed for the international Netbook resolution of 1024x600, this means I can’t access some options due to the lack of a tiny scroll bar someone who should be fired at Microsoft (I pray their in the cutbacks) didn’t put in. Not the NetBooks fault in all fairness but still, it’s bugging me and making blogging less enjoyable.

So yeah, needless to say there isn’t any reason for this update, I’ve just got a headache, I’m bored, and don’t fancy shouting at people on Halo 3 so I thought I’d just rant on here :-)

Anywho, I’ll try getting some updates out soon my lovelies <3

Fear the Netbook!

So, my laptop is about to crap out so thanks to my mum who bailed me out with a £279.95 loan, I am the proud owner of an Advent Netbook :-D

The next few updates may be…shittily written? cause the keyboard is TINY but eeee! New computer!

1 Down, 1999 To Go...

Well, I've finished my first week of work for the DWP and I'm ready to curl up into a small ball and die.

But alas there is no time for that, for there are things to do! What? I hear myself ask (I'm so alone), and in reply I answer "Play games little guy! For we shall review plenty and fill this blog with more articles than you can shake a stick at for no one to read!" and I'll be all like "Wow, your my hero" and...*ahem* sorry...

ANYWHO! I promise nothing but I'll TRY and get some updates done this weekend my lovelies :-)

Less Than 12 Hours...not that I'm counting...>_>

So, I start my new job tomorrow. I am pooing myself! Anywho, it dose mean I'll probably be way too tiered to actually update this week, maybe next. So till the next update, good luck in life :-)
