Messing around in Vegas , pretty cool program although way too complicated for its own good alot of the time…
No commentsTop 10 gaming experiences
Number 10:
(Doesent have a picture)

Given a place on the top 10 only because it changed my life , for the worse. Its impressive how a game that is so bad can be so widely played. Im sure theres some advanced brainwashing tactics in the game somewhere to keep people playing.
Number 9:

Counter Strike Source , although everyone else claims i dont TK french people , i do , just not as blatently as everyone else does. I prefer the sneaky ninja approach , a dickish flashbang into B tunnels after all my teammates run in for example. As opposed to the rather obvious shotgun + face approach that ‘some people’ use.
Number 8:

ET Quake Wars was another great game we all played for a while , unfortunately like all FPS’s , you can only really play it for so long…
Number 7:

Counter Strike 1.6 , used to play this tons back in the day , but by far my best experiences have been running around in a shield posse and stacking against a wall somewhere
Number 6:

World of Warcraft , as much as i hate to admit it , it is a pretty good game and arguably the best MMO out there at the moment when it comes to actual longevity and content. Its a huge shame everyone didnt get into it other than me and anony as i reckon a posse of me , anon , boyce , leet ,cross , zllig… <insert everyone else i missed here> all high leveled and geared wondering around the alliance low levels messing niccuhs up would have been just as fun as white sands – maybe another time?
Number 5:

Team Fortress 2 : Class massing , Not just fun with engineers , but any class which is massed – pryo’s , soldier’s , anything. TF2 on the whole was pretty good fun when we were all really into it.
Number 4:

Phantasy Star Universe , possibly the best £8(or however much it was per month) i ever spent , only lasted about a month but damn was it a fun month. I do wish i had a picture of Cross’s totem pole room.
Number 3:

Age of Conan : Ganking in white sands , I still really dont know whether the hide skill is supposed to be for or against ganking , on one side , hide -> gank , on the other hand i suppose if you’re lucky and the assholes arent camping around the respawn point you can hide and sneak away… Regardless , killing level 5′s on white sands with my amazing barbarian was great fun , until some faggot ToS or someone came along anyway.
Number 2:

Ragnarok Online , i spent a good 2-3 years with this game on multiple servers and guilds , thought it definately deserved a mention. I still have nightmares about that damned ghostring card.
Number 1 :

Our first time playing through Left 4 Dead : No Mercy on Expert , so many zombies… The panic , the terror , the anony screaming down my headset , it was a life changing experience.
Meng became a fan of ‘not being a retard’
Granted facebook is generally for fags , but in a world where everyone has one its hard not to use it. It also doubles as a pretty handy spying tool for earwigging onto other peoples conversations or looking at pictures of other people with their tops off (seen it) , looking at pictures of people you knew 10 years ago (done it) and photoshopping cocks onto people you know. which reminds me.
you know i wouldnt have done it for anyone else <3
Anywho , given the problematic ‘become a fan of’ thing , i thought id see whats the most retarded thing i could find to be a fan of , its pretty hard to find something which hasnt already been done – Oxygen already has a good 18 thousand fans. ‘Suicide’ , surprisingly not many fans , ditto for ‘death’ , but those are a bit morbid.
I did try ‘not being gay’ but i just ran into a bunch of pro-gay stuff , dont really wanna get involved there. In the end of i had to settle with
1 commentFew random photos of the day.
Stole adams sunglasses earlier , damn i look hot.
Look like im about to.. idk. backflip off a carpark on a motorbike whilst firing 3 uzi’s at once.
Also , went to costies today because i had (more like HAVE since im typing this up now.) a bitch of a headache and paid extra dollar for super advanced tablets , which looked like something from the matrix
also. saw bunnies on the way to my lecture today , warwick is so different to essex.

Somewhat of a dangerous hostage situation in cryfield
I do believe the owner of the bear is refusing to pay up , the plan is to set it alight and dump the ashes in front of her door.
No commentsYesterday // J00z it // Today
Recap of yesterday since i couldnt be fucked to write it up last night.
Was woken up at around 7am to the sound of mum yelling , i look up… and see frances in my room.
Apparently she got her mum to drive her to my house so she could say goodbye before i left for uni , sweet.
From there it was disconnecting my pc , loading up the car , and then a 2.5 hour drive down to coventry.
My mum insisted i find the estate agent who i owe money to , i was supposed to give in a deposit cheque for the house next year but i just never got round to it. We parked in a pretty scary looking carpark , i imagine its what azkaban looks like or something. 30 minutes of walking later we find the estate agents… Its closed. Obviously.
We walk back and get lunch at some place called ‘Mumbai Bluu’ which is essentially a posh pub. Pub food for lunch then.
I took a chance and ordered the steak and chips (for £6.50). To my surprise it was actually pretty good , nice thick steak although not too large in size itself , little overseasoned with pepper but meh. The chips were kinda lol though , they were ‘gourmet chips’ , which apparently means you only get about 8 of them – these chips were fucking amazing though , lovely and crisp , perfectly salted and with a few specks of ground pepper, best chips i ever had maybe? Aside from curly fries , those things kick serious ass.
Went to uni , collected the keys from the reception and began unloading the car.
Fucking christ my pc is heavy as hell. Even with a trolly thing it was heavy getting it up the hill.
We then went to tesco to get supplies , this basically means drinks since tesco is about 20 minutes walk from home and carrying drinks home is a horrible horrible experience.
who would have guessed that carrying 30 litres of water up a hill is a painful experience.
After this we played some wario ware and then went off to city to see papa roach (see other blog post)
Today is the unpacking day , along with rest before work and revision starts for real.
No commentsPapa Roach
Papa Roach gig was fucking immense , played alot of the new stuff which was kind of a shame but the new album is pretty good at least. Bought a shirt from the vendors outside for a tenner , it’ll probably decompose after 1 wash.
They played Change or die , lifeline , hollywood whore , had enough , scars , dead cell , between angels and insects , last resort (obviously.) and she loves me not (which was probably the highlight of my night).
In other news , saw the below graffiti in leamington spa today.
couldnt help but take a picture.
No commentsNot the best day ever…
Woke up to the sound of GHWT drums in the lounge , couldnt really complain since it was after 10am like i told him but nonetheless i was having an amazing dream about eating watermelons (im srs.) in morocco or spain or some spainesque country.
later in the day i found some strawberry fizzy lances in my bag , they had been left in there for a few weeks and had gotten slightly damp and super sticky. I ate some nonetheless.
Had lunch of pasta and meatballs , played some GHWT drums whilst eating fizzy lances…
I realised today that i have a habit of licking my top left set of teeth when im in deep concentration , gaming in particular. So drumming drumming drumming , full combo , multiplier X4 etc etc….
….
Why is there a crater in my teeth…
…
Apparently at some point between eating lances and playing , my filling had fallen out , on the day before i leave for uni.
Had to phone up the dentist and ask for an emergency slot , mum drove me there and i had to wait around for a little while , ended up having a special layered filling done.
After he finished he turned to me with a serious look and said
‘that row of teeth may have issues because of this filling , it may either be sensitive to hot or cold or it may throb like a heartbeat. ‘
Thanks for that.
Paid £45 for filling. Ouch. (SF4 moneys right out the window there)
Rest of the day spent chilling and not doing revision because i couldnt be arsed to.
Went to visit dad also , calcium levels still high and he’ll be in over the weekend. This makes his stay officially longer than 1 week. Poor guy is bored out of his skull. They said the CT scan of his head was fine and his kidneys seemed fine. CT scan of his neck next week as they suspect it is a problem with his thyroid.
(quick wiki indicates its likely he isnt producing a sufficient amount of Calcitronin hormone to regulate the Calcium in his bloodstream.)
Moving out tomorrow morning to go back to warwick for the final term.
(on the plus side i found out that after this term i get 3 months of holiday. THREE MONTHS!!! Im going to be bored of not having to study!)
