Computers and Playstations

Well its been a while since i've written one of these. Whats news...

My computer completely died along with my internet for a couple of weeks so that meant no gamespot and no playstation network for me but thats all fixed now; we got a new computer and a wireless router for the internet, which is mega awesome because i got a new laptop yesturday and now i can access the internet whenever i want, no more fighting over who gets to use the computer! the laptops gonna help a ton with my novel.

Anyways; you guys might already know this but theres a ton of good games coming out on the playstation 3 in Australia at the end of October and throughout November. unfortunately for me i've got no cash to buy them im gonna have to do a ton of work to get the money for those games. What game are you guys looking forward to the most?

I guess that'll do for now. I'll write another one some other time when my brains fully working and im not feeling lazy. Cya's!

One Wild Night!

In my last blog i told you guys that i was going to Judas Priest's concert in Melbourne (Australia) and now i've gone... It was fricken wicked as pies! The opening band Cavalera Conspiracy didnt open for Judas Priest because of some issues they were having, so instead two very lame local metal bands opened for them. Needless to say the crowd wasnt happy and threw stuff at the bands, aswell as cursed at them. But once the opening bands were out of the way the night just got a gazillion times better! Judas Priest had a huge stage set up with a large picture of Nostradamus in the background with mechanical red eyes. It was amazing. They played for about two hours, all of which i was right up against the front barrier of the mosh pit getting the life squeezed out of me by a very enthusiastic crowd, it was all worth it! In the end the band left the stage and everything went black, then a loud roaring noise echoed throughout the arena and the lead singer (rob halford) came out on an awesome motorbike, it was really unexpected and i loved it! So overall it was one great night. i blew all my cash at the concert

Anyways onto gaming business since thats all what were here for... The other day i downloaded a large game update for Buzz: Quizz TV on the Playstation 3 which gave me trophies for that game (coolio). I also got: Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix, Commando 3: Wolf of the Battlefield, Rayman, High Velocity Bowling, Pain, and Bionic Commando rearmed, from the Playstation store. So i've been quite busy with the downloads, its probably best for me to keep that quiet from my parents lol

Oh! and i bought a CD the other day with the small amount of cash i had left in my wallet, its called: The Dark Saga, and its by: Iced Earth. The CD's based on the Spawn comic book series. I watched the very violent cartoon of the series on youtube the other day and i now love Spawn! i can't believe that i didnt find it sooner, it has one hell of a plot and the way the story's told is amazing! sooooooo awesome!

Well i dont know what else to say so i'll leave it at that. Cya's!

Level up! Frozen Metal

Heya's! I'm pretty bored at the moment so i thought i'd write a blog, but before we get anywere with this let me just get something off my chest: It was my birthday on sunday! (August 31st) I'm now 19 years old and have much o' tha cash, so far i'm planning to buy a new 125gb hard drive for my PS3, a $50 dollar credit card thingy to use in the Playstation store, and some other stuff...

Well now that im done with that lets ramble on about some other stuff shall we... I downloaded the new game update for Warhawk the other day and there finally here! Trophies for Warhawk, its so awesome, i've already got six (sure there bronze but its not easy to get the others, especially when you dont have the little expansion packs for the game). Now i need to wait for Burnout Paradise to get its trophies update and motorcycle pack, anyone know when there being released?

I've also really gotten into this band called: Iced Earth, i've known about them for ages but never really bothered listening to them until i saw how awesome their shirt designs were, and before i bought a shirt i thought the respectable thing to do would be to listen to them to see how good they are and as it turns out their awesome! And if finding a new awesomeness band wasnt enough; next saturday night (September 13th) is the Judas Priest concert in Melbourne! i am so fricken excited for that concert, its not everyday i get to see my favourite band, the metal gods perform live. I'll probably blow all my left over birthday cash on their merchandise lol

Well thats all i've gotta say for now, i'll probably write another blog after the concert and stuff...Cya's!

Night Rider!

Hey! i haven't played Burnout Paradise in fricken ages but today when i went to play it i was stopped by a game update, and thanks to my incredibly slow interent that update took up most of the day to download. But it was all worth it

The update is a brand new make-over for the game! it includes a ton of new awesome features, gives the game a new look, and much, much more! I haven't really had much of a chance to play it but by what i did play i've decided that i'm going to be playing Burnout Paradise alot more from now on.

And if that wasn't good enough for ya; theres a new update and downloadable pack coming soon to the playstation store. The update gives paradise city the ability to change weather and even go into the night time! The downloadable pack is a first for the Burnout series; it includes two new vehicles... both motorcycles! and the packs FREE!!

I really can't be bothered proof reading this blog because its late and i'm only writing it because i'm soooo excited about this new content and i needed to vent that excitement somewere, and what better place to do that then gamespot!?

Anyways that'll do for now, i have other business to take care of for the night. Talk to you guys and gals again some other time!

(P.S: Here's the link to the official Burnout website, all the info on the new updates and stuff are on there: http://www.criteriongames.com/comingsoon/davis.php)

Buzzing Souls! and stuff...

Heya's! long time no bloging, haven't done one of these for ages. Anyways time to get down to business:

Lets see....A couple of weeks ago i got Buzz for the playstation 3 and i must say its pretty good, well worth the $110 dollars i payed for it. Gives me and my mates hours of buzzing fun! and violent name calling, that always seems to come into play with this game

What else has been going on lately hmmm...well my internet was going slow because my family decided to go over the fricken download limit, so that made downloading the new playstation updates alot of fun for me! Gave me alot of reading time, which i don't really need more of lol

Now lets round this thing down to the last couple of weeks shall we: Two weeks ago i was told that one of my short stories had won a writing competition, so now its going to be published in an anthology full of short stories and poems which will be sold at actual book stores! I'm very proud of it On the weekend i traded in Army of Two and got Soulcalibur IV for $39 dollars i think it was (well worth it). Soulcalibur IV's alot of fun, i especially love the fact that you can create your own characters to fight with; i made the angelic demon hunter from out of my book and i dont plan to stop there

Other than that i've just been going to tafe, hanging out with mates, and downloading demos and stuff on PSN.

Chat to you guys again some other time!

About Me

Hey! im Josh, im 19 years old and live in Melbourne, Australia. Music and games are basically my life, along with my writing (i dont know what i'd do without the worlds i create). I also play electric guitar, iv'e been playing for 3 years now. Im a huge fan of the Devil May Cry series; i like to think that my smartass attitude is somewhat like Dante's lol! I also love the Metal Gear series; the stealth, humour, and coolness of it are what i like about it. I try to write the most professional, unbiased reviews that i can because i enjoy reviewing games. it'd be great if you could read and rate them. Well that's all about me, hows about u read my blogs, check out my game collection, and have a look at those reviews of mine (there might even be a game that you like there)?
