I am back, dude does it feel good to be back. My holiday was of course great and I really had a great time, but it still feels fantastic to be back home.

I am back, dude does it feel good to be back. My holiday was of course great and I really had a great time, but it still feels fantastic to be back home. For those unaware I went to Centre Parcs, it is a European based activity holiday park, it is in the middle of a forest and they have a whole range of activities. I took part in archery, badminton and a whole lot of swimming. There swimming pool is amazing and I literally spent a whole day in the pool, which had flumes, drop slides and the really cool rapids. I spent my downtime walking around and playing on my 3DS, although I never played any 3DS game. I spent my time on the 3DS playing Pokemon Black, even though I bought and played through Pokemon White, I went and bought Pokemon Black just before I went away and so played about 8 hours of that. So yeah holiday was cool, it was nice to be around nature and fresh air and I feel like I have lost a bunch of weight because of all of the walking and swimming. So that makes me feel better because I am going to now go back in to the dark, eat a whole load of crap and play some god damn video games!

This month is a backlog month for me, 100% no new games all backlog. I have like no money, I paid off the last £500 of my iMac debt and then I went and bought everybody's birthday presents for this month ahead of time so I wouldn't forget it later. I also spent a whole bunch of my money in the arcade on holiday, I'll be posting some pictures up later of the arcade but man it was kinda cool. There was a Guitar Hero Arcade where you put in a £1 to play one song, I played one song and managed to achieve a perfect score, which marks my first perfect score in any Guitar Hero game. Sure it was on easy but I still felt pretty happy, I even got a crowd watching me and a round of claps at the end which was awesome. I also played some Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, that game is bat shit crazy. Theres some characters from Pac-Man and Tamagochi, for real! Then there was this weird cel shaded pogo stick racing game that was neat and then of-course I spent way to much on the adult gambling machines. At one point I won £20 but it went all back in.

So yes backlog month, I have a huge backlog so I have a lot to choose from. Here are the games I hope to play and finish(?)

  • GTAIV - I am shamed to admit I have not touched this games single player, as soon as I got it I went in to the multiplayer and burned myself out on the game on that and never went back to play it. I have the complete collection just sitting there so yeah why not.
  • Bioshock - I started playing this just before I went away, I'm about 4 hours in it suppose so hope to get this finished.
  • Wii games - I recently tided up my room and got my Wii back out, and there are at least 20+ unplayed games here so yeah lets all have a Wii Party! (Am I right?)

This month should be a nice relaxing month, because before too long games are going to start coming out, and If I don't complete these games now then I most likely never will. But if you will excuse me I need to go and catch up on all this Giant Bomb content.
