No one reads this blog, but I kinda don't care. Browsing the new profile features of the site led me to the disappointing realization that my last blog post was not only from 2010, but also saying I'd fallen out of love with video games. Whilst true, I had, that didn't last long. Man, video games are great! Sure, we're in a transition period where console games are (generally) pretty shoddy, an...

So... recently, I've been finding myself falling out of love with video games. The problem is probably half due to me now being a student, with little spare money to spend on video games, so when I buy a game, it either has to be 5* quality or be very long lasting. Due to this, I see me having to justify any purchase I attempt, often leading to me not buying the game in the end. Anyways, moving...

Alright, I previously said my completionist nature of playing games has ruined my enjoyment of Assassin's Creed II. Now that i'm over half-way through the gruelling collection missions (and those horrible assassination missions), I'm really starting to enjoy it. I'm on about memory block 8 or 9, and the main story still hasn't really gripped me. There's just something about the character of Ezi...

Well, just a quick update again to say i'm now half way through my exams (I've got another 3, but they are spread over the next month) and the last three exams went really, really well (I think). I started playing Assassin's Creed 2 the other day, and whilst i'm finding the collective nature of my personality to be my downfall, it doesn't seem too bad. I just wished I could stop collecting crap...

So, had my first exam of the Summer 2010 season the other day. Went pretty alright, I think, and the paper seemed very easy. Got the second one tomorrow - "Programming Techniques and Logical Methods". Hopefully won't be too bad. Really, really, really would love to get an A in it, so up a bit earlier tomorrow to do some quick last-minute revision. Anyways, the point of this blog. I've been in s...

I am loving this new quest feature! Also, shamlessly, this is for the 'write a diary entry' quest :D

I know I probably have none of you reading this, but it's nice for my own sanity. Basically, last blog (back in May), I said i'd try to boost my achievements rating by getting every game to a C rank. Well, I haven't really done much work, and i've added to the list of games I need to get to a C. Namely, the one barrier being Too Human. I stupidly bought it dirt cheap in a game store sale, but l...

Well, hello Giant Bomb world! This is my first blog post however i've been a member of the site since its conception. I've loved every single thing about the website, even Jeff and Ryan's microcasts on AudioBoo. Basically, with the new achievements feature, I thought i'd use the blog to set (and hopefully complete) video game based challenges using the new achievements feature. I'm going to be...
