Gears of Wars or Nintendogs??

So I bought Fight Night Round 3 for my 360 on sunday. A game I know I will love, as I've had them all since Knockout Kings, but thats not all I bought on sunday... Nintendogs for the DS!!!!

I always do things like this... I buy games I know I won't like, or I at least want games I won't like. I like sports games, shoot em ups, first person shooters... games you don't really get on the DS, however I'm desperate not to be that person, and therefore try to like RPG'sand RPS games and simulation style games.

I wanted Animal Crossing, I would never have liked that, and Pheonix Wright.
I also wanted Advanced Wars, Dual Strike.. which I bought... but soon regretted it...

I haven't always been such a stubborn 1 dimensional gamer.. I used to play the old Final Fantasy games, and loved Zelda.

I guess I am what I am.. a brute smelling gamer, un interested in the finer things games can offer...

I like immediate gaming satisfaction, satisfaction gained from winning a race at Project Gotham, scoring a sweet goal at Pro Evo, blowing up Locusts in Gears of War, and beating someone to a pulp in FightNight, even then Im slugging away hoping for the knock out by round 3.

So will I really like petting my dog.... in Nintendogs.... i very much doubt it, but I will try....

I will play it tonight and let you know if I can be turned into gamer i'd like to be.

Me and Delourus!

So I dropped my car off at the garage……. that’s right, despite writing about games, and gadgets.. I’m not a spotty 14yr old… I can drive and everything!!!

As I was writing…….. because it was making a funny knock knock noise…(Note, very different to funny knock knock jokes, despite my car having a name, Delourus, she also has a personality, one being a non funny, sensitive type.

So this knocking noise was making me feel conscious of people looking at me when I drove past... .. bringing back memories of a kid… queue dreamy sound fx…

My dad went through a stage of crashing his car... really silly liitle ones…. Like not giving way, ignoring traffic lights and believing its first come first serve on roundabouts…. Kinda true but it was the rushing to get to the front of the queue which caused us problems…..

We always had courtesy cars from the garage... all naff which bumps and different colored doors, because people lack any courtesy to courtesy cars.. its a fact…

Well they all made dodgy noises.. and when we would crash.. that too made a dodgy noise.. so I feel I may be scarred by knocking noises whilst in cars.....

I picked Delourus up at lunch and those mechanics must have give her a good spannering as she now purrs as she should.... and I can ride her all day without my phobia re-emmerging.

You never know..... im 25 know and grown up during the technological boom..... BBC Acorn... missed out on the Amiga and Commodore/ Sinclair scene then into video games consoles... the internet..

Seems its never ending.. and I've always loved it.. but right now... as Im writing this blog I've hit a turning point in my life... It may just be overtaking me..... :(

Am i turning in to my dad!!! Well my hair line is creeping... no sprinting further back each day.... so maybe I am...

I always mocked my older brother and dippy older generations for not knowing how to use technology.. but know my mum can email.. I have nothing.. no ammunition...

NB.(To anyone reading this)....THIS IS A TURNING POINT...

First ever blog.....ever ever... ever eva evr

Well, its 2.51 pm, 29th of January 2007, and I've decided to write a blog... Missed the boat I hear you cry, well maybe....

Im not a complete newb, to the internet, been a designer for some years, and contributed to a video games podcasts, a twitter.... my own failing website.. that for some reason wont work with Firefox or Internet Explorer 7. However I have decided to do a podcast, to proove to myself that no one will read it.

I think I will cover snippets of info on the video games scene, gadgets... boys toys etc.. the usually crap the majority of laggards post on blogs...

Basically im just typing without thinking...maybe some subconcious genius may filter through........ but don't hold your breath.... unless your reading this while submerging yorself in your bath testing your water proof phone.....
