Woohooo! Completed at last!

I'm quite happy today, I finally completed a Zelda game, that game being Twilight Princess on the Wii.

My first attempt at Zelda was the Snes version where I just got frustrated and left it, second was the Gamecube version, Windwaker which was bloody awesome (one of the best Zelda games EVER) but upon copying my save file after 60% of the game had been done I deleted it accidentally and never got back into it.

After weeks of hacking, slashing, shooting bomb arrows and riding spinners I finally got through the game to Hyrule castle to kill Ganandorf which happened to be the easiest Dungeon but most frustrating boss in the whole game! 4 times you have to defeat him and it took me a while to figure out I had to target him when you get to fight him horse back duel style and the final sword battle is cool.

I played the game for 43:28 according to my save file (I did most of the mini quests and got all the heart peices)and almost every minute was worth it, a few cut scenes are unskippable which gets frustrating if you die and have to start that certain segment again and sometimes the camera angles are funky, especially Hyrule castle when you get blocked in energy rings and can't see who you are fighting properly. That apart transforming into a wolf with new senses, fighting on Horseback and the general addictiveness and graphics of the game make it almost perfect as well as the many crazy weapons you have to use and the way you use them with the Wii-mote.

If you have a Wii or Gamecube get out and buy it, if you don't have either go buy one.

Now for Resident Evil 4 once I sell Zelda on Ebay

Happy Birthday!!!

I'd just like to say Happy Birthday to my Lindsay! Hope this is a good one babe x x x x x x x x x x x See you tonight x x x x x x x x x x x

Someone get me a taser!

For some reason this didn't post yesterday;

Hello there.

I'm in a bit of a bad mood today! I got up early for my first day back to college and had a bit of a barney with the Mrs because she was tired and I woke her(sorry babe)and it kind of set me up for the day with everyone I came across and, I think, made me more susceptible to annoying pricks on public transport.

First things first, what the balls is this new craze of playing music through mobiles really loud on public transport? IT’S ANNOYING!! I was on the 6:33am train to the coast as per usual and on get the "Stereotypical Terrorist" crew as they do everyday, I'm not being racist or offensive before I get shit for it, the media makes people think this way and introduces these stereotypes and you can see it! a bunch of Middle Eastern looking guys get on the train sometimes with tool boxes, they must be engineering or mechanic students or something but anyway, half the train cowers in fear and gives them funny glances as they walk, as usual, from the carriage they get on to the end of the train toolboxes in hand and muttering in their language.

With this group is one guy who looks both ways at the same time and he seems to love playing his badingi dingy dingy ding music through his phone to the whole carriage, you know the kind I mean, like that wailing Bollywood music but worse, usually however they walk to the end of the train and I have my ipod on but not this time. I had to sit for 45 minutes listening to this crap as the sun rises and everyone in the carriage gets irate but seems afraid to even say anything in case they get Jihaded or some rubbish, wel the train journey finishes and I have to get my connecting bus only for some completely different tosser does the same on the bus with the same CRAP music! FFS!!! I needed a bat or taser or some shit I tell ya! I'm all for cultures expressing themselves and doing what they do but do it in your own time and place for gods sake, we know you have a new mobile phone or magic box or whatever the fuck you call it in your country but GET SOME BLOODY HEADPHONES, its not in my culture to be annoyed by some inconsiderate fuckwit blaring shit music in the early A.M. generally the people are quiet and as tired and annoyed with the world as everyone else at that time of morning.

Now onto my other problem, Emo kids! not the kind that dress in dark clothes and heavy make up, some of the chicks look quite good and all round they are generally cool people. I'm talking about the bitching and moaning ones that cut themselves cos daddy decided to cut their pocket money or not let them use the car that weekend. I overheard a conversation and the basics of it were that some guy around 14/15 got caught smoking weed and drinking and his dad caught him and grounded him and stopped his pocket money. Dad thinks he know better than the kid so kid decided he's going to make him feel as isolated and bad as he does by cutting himself real bad, yeah that will show the world your pain you imbecile! OMG the whole world is against you because you are grounded FOR SMOKING WEED AND DRINKING @ 14! Sure your dad knows nothing about anything! fuck me he's probably done more drugs and alcohol in his life than most people and seen the ills of thw world and doesn't want you become a drug fucked moron living in the valley like the rest of the smack addicts not even able to get a job at Maccas to feed your addiction and in turn robbing passers by or asking for change whilst bitching how your parents did fuck all for you, GET OVER IT! If the world is against you so much and you’re not right for it there is a solution, it’s called the Story Bridge, take a dive!

And finally! My biggest gripe of the morning, people who don't have money ready for their bus fare, or anything else for that matter I'm going to get crap for this one as I'm pointing out its always the bloody females that do it. Every stop on the way from Robina to Palm Beach there were people getting on, and it’s always the same faces. They complain the bus was late, then take 10 minutes to pull change from every crack and crevice, THE BUS IS LATE COS 5 PEOPLE DID THE SAME BLOODY THING THE LAST 5 STOPS!!!!! If they know the bus is late they must have been stood there for a good 5 or 10 minutes TIME ENOUGH TO GET MONEY READY FOR THE TRIP YOU TAKE EVERYDAY YOU IDIOTS!!! Its the same in supermarkets and shops, If you can remember the 200 items you need for home and stand there and watch them be scanned as the cashier ALSO packs your bags at least remember to get your cash ready or the card you are going to use instead of shuffling through a whole deck of them and performing some sort of trick for 5 minutes whilst everybody is waiting in line, only for the person behind to piss and moan about it then do the same thing over. I thought cards made life faster and easier, it takes a good while to authorise and sign the bastards! Bring back cash I say.

Anyway! rant over I feel better Now.

England 12 Australia 10


I'd just like to say WELL DONE BOYS!

Living here in Brisbane is kinda hard being English when it comes to sports, especially England Vs Australia games such as Cricket & Rugby.

It was a great almost even game, some good tension and some pretty stupid mistakes on both sides but in the end England prevailed and for that I'm a little bit happier.

A few of the Australians I know would think I'm rubbing it in but really I'm just happy to have something I know meant something to us all on my side for once, considering they beat us shamefully in the Ashes and also beat us down in the last Rugby game we played its nice to know we can still beat the old colony at something, even by a small margin.

So a Beer to all my boys back home! Just tread carefully in the next game boys, I want to see squashed frogs on every boot.

Good luck.

The Birthday Week.

Why hello there fellow friends and readers.

Its been a short while since I updated, mainly due to being blind drunk, working and partying this week as it was my birthday on the 21st (and Hannah's too, My friend Dave's lady friend) Lindsay decided it would be the "right thing" to celebrate for the whole week.

It was a good week all in all, I finally got my very own Nintendo Wii from the lovely super fantastic Lindsay and I have been hooked on LoZ:Twilight Princess, Wii sports, Harry potter and Wii play ever since, Lindsay feels she has become a wii widow, or a wiidow but she bought me it so ner ner! your own fault.

As well as celebrations and birthday wishes my good friend Jeremy got me a fantastical ticket to the Parklife festival here in Brisbanes botanical gardens, although I don't think there will be much botany left after the amount of people there! It was a good gig all in all. Waiting half an hour to get a damn beer sucked and the Herd and The Sounds were on different stages at the same time which sucked more as I missed the best Herd songs and the opening songs of the Sounds as I rushed over to catch the last half of their set. The Scratch Perverts and Stereo Mc's did some good Djing sets and the atmosphere was pretty care free and relaxed overall, with the exception of what seems to be the gayest 80's fashion revival of dayglo/flouro outfits assaulting my vision. Every man woman and child were wearing the horrible stuff! A few guys actually commented to us on the way in saying "its good to see someone in normal clothes" I think I almost went blind, I'm going to have nightmares for weeks.

And thats that really! thanks to all who wished me a happy birthday, sent cards and gave me pressies or got me wrecked! you know who y'all are. I'll leave you with a dodgy video I filmed of the sounds, I apologise for the shaky cam but its hard to film when some dick with a dayglo fan is hitting you in the head constantly (you'll see me look for him) I'm off to get breakfast and finish the final level of Zelda, weeeeeeeee!!

Ps: Happy Birthday Trelly with a wooden belly (for the 29th).
