... a day or two ago I got my new 360 60Gb. There are a few noticable differences like a much lighter transformer adaptor thing saying 175W, also a large ammount of crudware demos installed courtesy of MS.

I would be enjoying Castle Crashers if the blooming thing worked online. I'm lvl 8 with Green guy but i've been putting time into Gears and Halo 3 on my new Gamertag which is : CurbStomp9000 now so add me

At my local Zavvi there are a tonne of games in a bargain bucket saying each is £1.00 only.

Amongst these are titles like: Red faction 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 4, Prey, Hitman. WTH games this good shouldn't be £1.00!!! (roughly $2.00) heck i'm not complaining when they're that cheap! Notice they are all PC games... well PC gaming isn't dying but this is a wound that i shall drink the blood from! (bad analogy)

I'm finding myself unnaturally attached to a game that hasn't even been released yet - Castle Crashers.

If it meant anything I'd put my reputation on the line for this game. It certainly has one of the best dev blogs of any game ever created and the long wait for ths game that started life near the beginning of the Xbox 360 is about to be released. Some say 1,200 points is too steep for an arcade game. Fut! Such blaspheme would give way to absolution upon the day of reckonin', the 27th August 2008.

Here's the jist: adventure beat 'em up with simple RPG system set in a cartoon- ****middle-ages land. 4 player co-op over xbl + 4 player arena battles. Hack and slash gameplay with magic spells to smash stuff and enemies. To get a good look at the game (if you haven't seen it already) go to the dev blog on the link above.

2d has come back in a big way, making 3d look like a bad joke, lets hope it's here to stay because I for one certainly believe we aren't finished with it.

I am useless at decisions, my opinion doesn't make a reliable prediction either, i throw the ball out to whoever is reading

There 2 reasons to have a blog. 1, to talk about yourself. 2, to rant about stuff thats happened to you.

This post details the latter.

I was banned recently for 7 days for saying to a fella on SW "You sir, are a baboon"

Now i can understand banning people for being rude but this ignorant twonk needed a bit of lightning up so i thought of something funny to say and the mods done got moi a beeefy 7 day suspension.

This brings my moderation history to about 5 pages, honestly I can't see how i get these reductions, close to 7000 posts and i am still at lvl 20 odd. It doesn't bother me greatly in real life (i'll soldier on, lol) but its confusing how much crap you get modded for especailly in that bastien of flaming called SW.

PS. this was my first flaming the rest apparently were spam (rick roll lol i got suspended so many times for that) and a bit of trolling though that is debatable.

The long anticipated rig has been ordered from ebuyer.com, i can't wait till its up and running, but i'll have to for now . Here it is:

Intel e8200 processor
2Gb OCZ 800mhz RAM
Innovision 8800 GTS 512Mb
ASUS P5N-D full SLI Motherboard
700W Arctic PSU
250Gb Maxtor OEM HDD
Samsung 20X DVD+CDRW Drive
Mid Tower case that does the job!
Windows Vista 64-bit AND Windows XP 32-bit edition
LG22" Monitor with composite for PS3,TV and DSUB for PC
Headphones, no money for speakers
DeathAdder Mouse awwww yeah
Logitek G11 gaming keyboard (don't see the point in the LCD screen on the G15)

Overall, I'm so exited I can't feel my arms!!!!
