I'm Back

Well I am back,

It has been a long time since I was last here been very busy with well, life. However things have now allowed a little more time for me to do things I used to do like bloggs and reviews.

Well a lot has changed for me, once a pure pc- gamer only swore not to play anything else. Well we got an x-box 360 and a DS lite, My wife and I got a DS for us both and our step-son. I don't really like the DS that much but it is ok.

The x-box I have to say it is not as bad as I thought it would be and I like playing on it. I know the X-box will never be as good as the PC, but it is still good with the game play value the x-box offers.

I've been playing all the Guitar hero games and Rock band which is my personal favorite, these games I think are just great as they allow everyone to come and play and it has brought the family a little closer together as everyone plays and takes part. So we always have a full band to play which makes it a lot more fun.

The games I got for the x-box 360 : NFS: Carbon, - I am still playing this game and I love it,classic NFS game and I am still playing it half way through the career.

Assassin Creed: I wanted to get for the PC, but the X-box still offers a good system to play it on the game is a lot of fun however I still know deep down the game would be better on the PC with the rest of the RPG's.

Bully SE: This game is like GTA and it ressambles the franchize main game well and it is a good addition, I was always annoyed this game was not on the PC, hoped they would bring it out for it like they did for GTA. However still good.

DDR/DDR2 : These games are always fun and Good work out. I have great fun with my step son.

Guitar Hero II & Guitar hero III : Rock out!

Rock Band : This game is way better the support of MTV on this game helped it to be really great, there is a really long lasting play time that will keep you playing this game forever, new songs coming out every week stops it getting boring, and lets face it. The game only gets boring after you complete the Endless set list on expert. Completeing all 58 songs with no break.

Well that is all. Game wise, I am still in the U.S with my very loving wife. Who I still very much adore aswell as a very perfect 6 yr old step son.

Well thats all.

U.S here I come!!

Well 30 days later... I'm about to embark on going back to see my lovely and very supporting wife.

I recently lost my mother this week rather suddenly last Monday, so i've not been on my best form this week. My wife has been very! good I would of been lost this week if it wasn't for her.

 I really need to go home, to be with her. So as you may guess I'm really looking forward to going back home back home to where the keys on the keyboards are in the right place.

I can't wait to go home, to see and be with my wife and step-son.

err uk.gamespot !!

err... well I'm back in England until June, and I'm having to get back to getting used to changing the address of gamespot so the U.S site comes up and not the UK site.

 No offense but the U.S site is just better. People in England would be wise to buy from the U.S cause everything will be half price basicly, I got C&C 3 over in the states for $49.99 which in £, on that day the exchange rate was at £1 for $4.  So you can work out the safing. So it would make sense for the UK customers to buy from the U.S.

I have to say though I saw what people meant about how the PC games are disapearing from shops. Everywhere had the Xbox and wii and ps2 games but I often got a "sorry sir we don't sell pc games here." I found they had them at Best buy but. Something needs to be done about. PC gamers should make some sort of protest or something to get more shops to sell the pc games. Espacally the pc is the better game system, even if you don't like to admit it.

I'm also having to get back to being used to a English Keyboard, Which I'm surprised to say I got used to using a u.s keyboard faster than I am with this keyboard again. The only real difference is the @ is above the no.2 key on the u.s keyboard but on this keyboard the " is above the no.2  key. Also on the English keyboard no. 3 has a £ above it and what the American's call the pound sign # is next to the return key on the english keyboard.  There are other differences but I honestly have to say the U.S keyboard is better layed out than the English style keyboard.

 The only problem I have with the U.S keyboard is there is no £ sign on it. Which I guess isn't a real problem, when I think about it. ex. How many times would the average u.s citizen use the £ in the average day.  I just feel if other countries have the $ on their keyboards, then the U.S could be nice enough to put the £ on their keyboard.

 I am missing the good old u.s and I feel like a Forrigner here now. So I can't wait until I rejoin my loving wife! lol still can't get used to saying that.

I miss her alot.

Final entry from my the u.s (for now!)

 

Well it's finally come, tomorrow I will be flying back to England. (WHICH SUX) I have enjoyed my time here so much. The final weight I've gained is, 13ilbs in 3 months, last night I weighted in at 143.5 and I was something like 132 when I arrived. The person who is on my old videos isn't who I am today.

 

The change is due largely thanks to love from a great lady, who has made me feel so loved and I return that love ever so much. this brings me to the big news I have to announce.

 

As of May 7th 9:45pm est. Meghan and I became one, in the exchanging of vows and exchanging of rings. Meghan and I was married. So I am now getting used to having a very lovely wife. The ceremony was nice and small in front of family and friends. I can now return to England a little happier.

The country is truly amazing, although there are suttle differences between the two countries and America having it's own fair share of it's own problems. I've had my eyes open about the truth of America, I have listened and I have learned, So when I come back I will have a loving wife and a step-son to come back to. Which makes a difference for us.

I love you Meghan forever more.
