HALLOWEEN!!! MUHAHAHAHA!

Ok, so it's Halloween today; It's the time of year I get to keep my mask on (my face) without people ducking behind a sofa or anything else that they can hide behind.

I love Halloween, I love horror movies, so Halloween is always about watching a few of them and I bought a LOT over this month, and since my DVD update is due today, I'll post those up later on.

Here's my wee nephews all dressed up, it's a good job they had a Halloween party a few days ago because since then, they have both fallen ill, so I can't see much trick or treating and sweetie eating tonight (get well soon guys xxxxxx)

My Sister Michelle did an ace job doing them all up though and her Tom Savini like SFX for Brandon the wee Zombie is just ace:D

FALLOUT 3 IS HERE!!!!

Fallout 3 is out tomorrow in the UK but my copy turned up today. Now I always love when stuff turns up early, but the sad fact is I kinda wish this was not out to Monday, as spare time to waste playing a game is not really there for the kinda hours this game is going to need.

Oh well, at least I have time today to take a pic of the box and the GAME exclusive figure you got with it. I'll not get much time to play this until Sunday as it's Halloween tomorrow and for my day off I'm going to spend it watching horror movies.

FABLE 2 and FALLOUT 3

I got Fable 2 on Friday just past and have put more than a few hours into it over the weekend. Fable 2 is a great feel-good game, I love the graphics style and the music and sound is just amazing. (you can get 6 free tracks from the soundtrack HERE including the amazing title track)

I talked my dad into playing this game, so I hooked up with him in the game for some coop and now he is hooked on it, so I think I can say bye bye to my game disc for a few months... Oh well it was really fun while it lasted...

BUT!!!

FALLOUT 3 is out today in the USA and on Halloween here in the UK, so I'm sorry Fable 2, you were ace, but Fallout 3 is THE game I've been waiting on, forget GTA4 even, this is the one, this years holy grail of gaming for me. Sure it's only going to be the 4th game I've got and really spent time on this year (the others being Fable 2 of course, as well as GTA4 and Bully all on the Xbox 360) but this is it; I've hardly put any time into gaming so I would not feel guilty sinking about 100 hours into this baby.

I pre-ordered the GAME UK exclusive version that comes with a figurine, I don't get these editions ever really, but I'm getting this for the same price as the normal edition (less with the reward points) so I thought "what the hell!"

Anyway here's a couple of Video reviews for both Fable 2 and the IGN Fallout 3 review that's just been posted a few hours ago.

CATCH UP: ROD, BDAYS AND NKOTB

This is just a small catch up post of some things I missed posting when they happened, and I'm only now getting around to it.

First off, my wee nephew Aiden was 5 on the 10th of this month and since uncle James would not move from the DVD section, he went all green and angry and hulked out in Asda... Don't mess with a 5 year old Hulk! :D hehe.

Next up, an update about my ROD 360 last month. Well my Xbox 360 came back after about 10 days and they changed the motherboard and the DVD drive and gave the standard free 1 month gold card. It's works great and should be put to plenty of use with the release of Fable 2 and Fallout 3 over the Christmas period.

NKOTB Concert.

NKOTB2

My Sister Nicola is a HUGE (well was as a kid) New Kids on the Block fan. After she found out they were making a comeback (Old Men on the Block) she was more hyper than her kids, on a month supply of Irn-Bru and nothing else. She was even more hyper when she knew they were coming to Scotland on the 18th of Jan 2009 at the SECC. So off course she HAD to go and re-live her teenage glory days. But who would go with her? Well that 'WHO' is 'ME'.

Yep I'm going to see NKOTB in concert with her, I'm going to listen to all those songs that used to do my head in as my sisters blasted there songs day in and day out. The funny thing is? I'm really looking forward to it, and with all those now 30 something women there, I might just have to dress up as Joey McIntyre... Hey! In the dark with the pork pie hat on and singing Hangin' Tough, I could just pull it off;) (It's going to be REALLY DARK and they will be screaming so loud they won't hear me sing...:P)

And last but not least and uodate for today.

HAPPY 31st BIRTHDAY NICOLA

bday

Here's A music Video for you :D xxxxxxx

I GOT MY NEW PHONE

My new phone turned up today and I've very happy with it. It came with a 256MB M2 card that I was not expecting to get (although it's only about £5 for a 2 gig sony one from play.com) so that was a nice bonus.

I also did not know it had video calling on this phone so that is also nice to have.

best thing though? My headphones from my W800i DO work with this phone weeee! So I'll not even open the phones you get with this phone.

I love the white backlighting and when you put on the camera, it goes blue at the front and all the buttons go blue, it's very nice:D.

More than happy with this so far:D

MY PHONE KICKED THE BUCKET

A few days ago my beloved Sony Ericsson W800i packed in/died/kicked the bucket :(

DSC06038

It was well looked after, but it was also well used so it's understandable that it passed away at such a young age *sniff*

I'm not one for getting a new phone every 5 mins, so I kinda grudge having to get another phone. After looking around and reading a lot of reviews I've went for the Sony Ericsson K770i Cyber-shot with Vodafone (who I was with before)

It was as close as I could find to the w800i, but also had some updated stuff on it and the reviews were mostly really good. I can also use the battery from my w800i as it uses the same one and my w800i battery was working fine. Not sure if I can still use the headphones I have for my w800i? I like those headphones so if I get different ones (and I think you do) I hope the old ones plug in (they should).

The phone was under £70 so not too expensive
