It's SNOWING!!

It’s snowing in Loughborough and it’s actually lasted a good hour, I’m so happy. Snow is awesome. I just hope it settles so I can build a Snowman.

Here is a photo Laura took…

Duke Nukem Forever

Haven’t heard anything about Duke Nukem Forever in a while so thought I’d have a look on the 3D Realms web site where I found two screenshots and boy is it looking good.

Duke Nukem Forever Shot 1

Really no need to get too excited about this one though as 3D Realms are notorious for the “When it’s done” approach. Hopefully it will be released this year though whilst the graphics still look fresh.

I still have fond memories of Duke Nukem 3D which I played as a youngster so if this is anything like that it’s going to be an instant classic.

Sooooo Tired

I didn’t get much sleep this weekend and I’m feeling a little worse for wear now.

Reason being, I went to Evesham to celebrate my friend James’s belated birthday on Saturday. We went out in the evening and had plenty of drinks, then we went back to Alex’s where everyone played drinking games till 4 in the morning, except me because I was worried about driving a couple of hours later. 4 hours of sleep and we were up again, so I made everyone breakfast and then the Wii came back on.

It was mostly good, meeting some of Alex’s friends one of them Irish (Emma) who would quite happily say potato for me :) and getting to see Alex’s new place, which is surprisingly nice for a 1 bed flat.

Unfortunately it wasn’t all good though, I got quite irritated standing around in Tesco whilst all my friends discussed food arrangements. I never knew shopping could be so difficult, maybe if someone gave it some thought before we went it would have been okay.

Secondly we spent most of the weekend playing Wii games that we’ve all played almost every single time we’ve met up the last two years. I think the most fun I had was playing a demo on Alex’s 360 of Sonic Unleashed trying to beat each others stage time. Maybe that’s why I rarely play my Wii anymore.

Embarrassingly I got quite angry at everyone when they decided I couldn’t have one more go on a Rayman mini game. My friends like to invent rules where by the element of casual fun with friends is removed and it’s all about competing. After being patient and letting them all play the games they wanted to play on Saturday I couldn’t see the problem but there you go.

Oh and I drove the longest journey since I passed my driving test, so that was fun.

So that was my weekend. I’m viewing some more houses tonight, hopefully me and Laura can find something nicer then the last one we saw. Here’s hoping.

30 days to go

Only 30 days to go now until Street Fighter IV is released for the Xbox360. I haven’t played a Street Fighter game since Street Fighter II Turbo on the PC when I was like 12 years old, so as you can imagine I’m really looking forward to this one.

Looks like it is going to be an instant classic and thank god they decided to put Cammy in this one, she is awesome.

A fresh but brief start

Well after only god knows how long (and possibly Sam) my blog is now back up and running.

I’ve decided to go for a fresh start so no posts from my old blog have been transferred. I have also created my own WordPress theme from scratch and I decided to call it Dark-Azzurro which basically means Dark Blue. How you see it now is as far as I have gotten, it needs some work but I’m happy with it so far.

A lot has happened in my life since my site went down and I’ll try and merge all that into future posts coming soon.

For now though I will say house hunting is very stressful, more on that soon :)
