All are blown out of porportion, and none will change gaming, or at least not me. Who has the living room space to be hopping around like that Natal video or how many of us need a virtual son when real ones are so much better. And who the eff is going to want to play the latest iteration of their favorite game standing up and waggling stuff? Halo 6; Shake it! anyone?I prefer all my gaming to be had curled up in my sofa, controller in hand, snacks at arms length, lights dimmed and volume loud. Thank you.

So......about a year ago, after completing ff12, I came to the conclusion that i didnt enjoy it as much as ff10 because I watched too many gameplay vids and read too much info on ff12 before playin it as opposed to not knowning anything at all before playin ff10. So i said to myself that i would abstain from all FF13 infos untill the game resided in my hands but today, the temptation was to great, with the countdown on the FFXIII site up and every single gaming news site/blog posting articles on it, I snapped and just had to watch it. And now, i dont reget it at all, in fact it feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest, and replaced with hunger for moreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee videos!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS AWESOMEEEE AAAAAAHHHHHHHH. Time to watch it 16 more times!! ^o^ bye!!

So a few days ago, on what would almost seem like impulse, I bought a PS3 (!!) and paid a mere £49 in cash for a brand spankin' new Batman Begins Blu Ray bundle + Motorstorm2 and Resistance 2 free. I guess coffee shops do have their perks for it was vouchers i received from there (£250 worth for doing such a bang up job) that allowed such bargain sale and recession rape. I then bought GTA4 used and Tekken 5 DR online and have yet to touch Motorstorm or resistance. Its not that i dont want those games, oh no no, Im just savoring the moment, heck I still cant believe after coveting one for so long........I actually own one!

80gb not so backwards compatible one.

I work in a varied and unique environment, every day is something new and always exciting! Yep you guessed it, imma male gigo.....ok no i work in a coffee shop. Working in a coffe shop has its ups and downs and more downs and even more downs but im lucky to work in a mostly relaxed shop with cool managers. Working in at that place for the past 8 or so months has inadvertedly created a long list of things that piss me off -_-;. Today i vent my frustation at the first thing on that list - Size.

96.8% of all customers order in this manner.
Me: Hello Sir/Ma'am, what can I get you.
Customer: Yea lemme get a Cappucino......
Me:..........
Me: Medium or large b1tch!!?

Well of course i dont swear at them tho i would love too. Every customer seems to assume im psychic which annoys me EVERY time. Tip for the next time you order any drink that can vary in size; Specify a size or you WILL be mind gamed into spending more monies on a size you dont need.

Nooo Im not gonna suddenly start reviewing games blinfolded En masse, Instead this is an experiment on the effect Game journalism has on ~my~ enjoyment of a certain game. The game in question; FFXIII. The experiement; Avoid all its exposure untill my very own hands on time. Why? Because way back when FFXII (12) was but an announcement, i scoured the web for any and all info on the game non stop and when gameplay videos and hands on impressions final started being posted I literally frikkin ate them up, watching gameplay vids over and over and over and over and every time getting more and more and more and MOAR~!! excited to the point i wanted to pop. Then i got my hands on the game and while the game was just as awesome as I'd hoped, there was a sense of been there done that with the more important stuff feeling old already. My enjoyment of the game was marred a bit. This only matters becauase of how much I enjoyed FFX (10). Before playing that game, the only information I had on it was the box art of Tidus standing in the sea  holding the Brotherhood sword. Im convinced that my lack of any knowledge of that game prior to playing it attributed to it greatness so imma try the same approach on FF13.

If it doesnt work Imma be kickin myself till FF14 screenshots hit the net.
