PGU: 04/02/10
So ladies and gentlemen, it's that time again, yes, time for another gaming update, where I shall bore you all to tears with my latest update of my wasted life.
Dragon Age: Origins
I'm currently a level 10 Dalish Elf Warrior, having just saved the mages of the Circle of Magi, I'm about to make my way to the Dwarven Underground to enlist their help.
And thats all I'm gonna say about that, otherwise I may end up in oversize glasses and develop a fondness for suspenders.
Avatar
Not really that impressed by this to tell you the truth. It really can't hold a candle to its namesake. But I've come to expect that from movie games. The only reason I bought it was because it runs a different storyline to the one from the film, and generally those types of games are slightly better. Which in comparison to other movie games, Avatar is a lot better. One interesting point of the game comes very close to the beginning, where you are given the choice to side with the Na'vi and fend off the human invaders (which is what I chose), or decide not to turn against your own kind and advance the invasion of Pandora.
Borderlands
Speaking of Pandora, set on the exact same moon, is Borderlands, but you wouldn't know it by looking, a baron wasteland desert. Teeming with creatures that would kill you as much as look at you... so not that different I guess.
Anyway, I reckon I'm half way though the game, I'm currently a level 27 Hunter (with 50 being the highest). I've played online a bit but the amount of times other players decide they want to duel instead of play the story annoys me quite a bit.
Though I believe I have acquired myself a nice collection of guns, my favorites being Whitting Elephant Gun, that can kill most enemies of equal levels with one head-shot. And the Burning Sniper, which causes one hellacious explosion roasting those psycho midgets alive.
Modern Warfare 2
As much as I know that I suck at this game, I still play it mostly because it's the game that my mates over in the states all play, so I play just to join them. The game is fun, but to be honest the most fun I have playing this is just when I'm talking to my guys.
Guess I should tell you my level...sigh... I'm level 18 still no prestige... I DON'T PLAY OFTEN OK?

New Brent Weeks Trilogy
As surprising as it seems, I can actually read! Gasps all round.
Anyway one of my favourite set of books was the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. The books told the story of Kayler Stern, a street rat turned legendary assassin (well I use the term assassin, but in the book they say 'assassins have targets, we wetboys have deaders.').
Now due for release in November, comes the first in a new, but still loosely linked to the originals, trilogy. Starting with The Black Prism.
Seemingly following in Assassins Creeds footsteps, the new stories are rumored to be set in 14th century Italy. Though I highly doubt this, as the Night Angel was set in a completely made up world.
Anyway, if the first books are something to go by, this new series will definitely give other books a run for their money.
P.S. as much as I love the books. If they get turned into films, I may lose all faith in authors.

Yet Another Heavy Rain Post
Ok, so I'll admit. I really should have called my blog "20something heavy rain fanatic" but I was such a huge fan of Fahrenheit. And if you've read as much about the game as I have you'd be excited to.
Anyway the point of this post is to inform you that quantic have announced DLC content for HR. Details are scarce but what I've heard is that the DLCs are prequels to HR, they are giving you some background information about the main characters. David Cage even went as far as saying (in French) that it's highly likely that you will get to play as the origami killer him/herself.
There is a video to accompany this post, but unfortunatly it is in French and there are no subtitles. So I thought it would be a waste of bandwidth, so just enjoy the LTA heavy rain trailer in my previous post.

The Holiday
Just spent the last week in the good ol' USA. Boston MA to be precise.
And I've gotta say, it was hard work. First the flight was canceled due to "inclement" weather, it snowed (a bit) the night before, and then it started raining. Heathrow has to buy a snow plough or two, cause this is stupid.
Anyway after Virgin canceled the flight, they told us they can put us on an American Airlines flight later in the day, we really wanted to get out there so, what the hell, we took the flight, and then, four hours later than planned, me and my Dad were of to our next problem.
On arrival we got into a taxi, and made our way to the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, where, because of Virgin canceling our flight, they had canceled our reservation at the hotel. This is at PM local time but it feels to us like it is two in the morning. So the person behind the check in desk, calls up Virgin to see what's what but, of course, the help line's closed for the evening. At which point they tell us that even though all our paperwork says that we are to have a nice comfy room for the night, our names aren't down as having one. But its all sorted when Dad pays for the room for the night when promised that Virgin will sort it all out and pay Dad back. Which to be fair, they did.
Anyway, that was the end of the getting there fiasco, then came the good times... walking around Boston, seeing the sights and hanging with my mates.
All to soon came the time for us to leave, but having not been able to see one particular friend, I decided, "You know, if i go see her at 2:45 I can hang for two hours, catch the T and be at the airport with plenty of time to spare". But best laid plans and all. After two hours, I said my goodbyes and got on the T only for it to stop at a station for a stupidly long time for some completely unknown reason. Then, maybe just to piss everyone off, someone decided that the shuttle bus to the airport, needed a freaking MOT test at the bus stop, with us inside it. Well after everything (my plan gave us at least 45 min to check in,) we arrived at the check in desk with 30 seconds to spare before check in for our flight closed.
And that was my holiday in summary. I know I've explained all the bad part to some sad level, but that is the stuff I can write about, I could not begin to describe to you about how happy I am when I see my friends or how great it is to take a walking tour of Boston with my father.
Guys if you are reading this, know I'm grateful to you all and, thanks for everything.
