The BSHAF Remix, and some other stuff...

I'm done trying to make excuses for why I haven't been blogging much over the past few weeks. I have exams. Meh. I still frequent the site daily, still watch all the endurance runs, still read every blog that pops up on my feed. I still have several completely ridiculous opinions of my own concerning stuff that has happened over the past few days. Here are some: The NEW Bomb Should Have A Face:...

The NEW Bomb Should Have A Face:
After being shafted by BSHAF several times (For those that don't know, of the 5 shows I recorded with the BSHAF crew, only 2 got published) my patience is wearing thin. I think everyone on the cast is awesome, the principle is sound. I'm going to be brutally honest, mostly because I want to put forward some constructive criticism but also because i'm being a dick. The BSHAF was getting boring. The episodes were increasingly long and tedious to listen through, the segments of the show were uninteresting - the core idea of bringing to light elements of the community which shine became convoluted. I want to hear about awesome blogs, guides, the achievements you guys have, interesting trivia questions you found. I don't give a fuck about your opinion on the recession, if I wanted that I would read a newspaper.I can see JensonB angrily scrawling his @Sweep as we speak.
The refurbishment is a good idea.
I support it, and I will definitely listen and attempt to take part. I would like to point out that - filling a skype conversation with anywhere above 8 people becomes nightmarish as there is usually a big variation in sound quality from each of the participants. It works for the Bombcast because they are all sitting in the same room and can see each other and know when to talk.Secondly - I love you guys, really I do. TokyoChicken is one of the nicest guys i've ever encountered on the Internet, Mattbodega is my twin and also my sworn enemy. But, Bodega aside (the best place for Bodega), none of you really has a dominant enough personality to steer a podcast, especially one full of raving Giantbomb users. It's going to be funny for the first, maybe the second episode. Then it's just going to get annoying. We tried it with our own miserable failure of a podcast. Look how that turned out. It was a miserable failure.
That's me done on the subject. I'm going to wait and see what happens next.
Project Trico
I'm a big Shadow Of The Collossus fan, though i'm yet to play Ico (I have a copy but no PS2). Team Ico is to be heralded with respect, and I am prepared to give them as much time and space as they require. Whatever you chose to take from the "leaked" footage, just be glad that there is still a place for developers to create games that require more than a "Right Trigger to shoot". Whatever happens to Project Ico, i'm excited about it.Battlestations Pacific
I want this game, though exams are proving a distraction from my usual routine of buying and playing interactive entertainment. I would like to see a GB review please!!I started Playing World Of Warcraft again.
I know. I know...
Me and 7 others from my university all decided to start new characters on TrollBane (EU), all using different classes. It's a nice way to play the game, pretty much any combination of the 5 of us seems to work well in most instances, a vast improvement on my first solo experience several years ago. We took advantage of the "10 day free trial if a friend invites you back" thing, it's working out pretty nicely. My Troll Rogue (was originally a druid but I don't want to end up healing again) is fairly badass. I'm hoping Giantbomb is going to sort out it's achievements to support EU servers soon so I can see how I stack up.Henry Hatsworth in The Puzzling adventure
This game freaks me out like a bitch in the face. I like it though, in a crazy British kind of way. I'm going to review it soonish.
PEACE OUT KIDS, my first exam is in 2 days time. Principles Of Computer Systems. Woop!
Thanks For Reading
Love Sweep
