Currently having a major clearance in my entertainment area, finding lots of stuff i bought just for the sake of it really. Don't know why i bought half the stuff i did.
-
Just taking a look into some new games for the Wii once i have aquired Mario Kart, Animal Crossing sounds promising as do some other games on the VC. Just need points and a SD-Card and sorted. Currently the day is going fine, work is as the usual nice and steady workload. When i get back home, a bit of Brawl awaits and hopefully unlocking a few new characters and maybe a level or two as well.

Numerous different lagers and beers pass my lips weekly, my personal favourites at the moment are Fosters, McEwans, Brains Smooth and Stella Bock.

Beating the Drought: What Have You Been Playing?
Jimbob replied to darksnowman's topic in Nintendo Gaming
With this apparant drought nearly over, of which i stocked up with a few 360 and DS games to keep me amused. I'm just thinking what to get for the Wii after Mario Kart of which i am getting this week. -
Completed 130 Brawls unlocking Luigi, Ness, Marth, Falco, Captain Falcon and Snake amongst others. Just another 370 to get the full set.
-
I ordered the 5000+ processor instead, still runs a lot faster than the old one.
-
Currently enjoying today, chilling out as it were on Brawl unlocking everything as i go. Just come off SCIV online due to button bashers as it were who use the same flipping move again and again.

Don't Mess With The Zohan Impressed with this movie, great humour and really laugh out loud moments as such. Adam Sandler played the part brilliantly, good story to it as well. 9/10 Hellboy II - The Golden Army Sequel to the original of which i saw earlier in the week. Good movie, good plot as such. Not as good as the first, as most movies arn't as good. 9/10

Yesterday was a good day, went to Newport and finally bought myself a Wii and Smash Bros Brawl, which i have been on half of today. Main reason i went was to see Don't Mess with the Zohan and Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, reviews as such in usual topic. I have to admit, playing Wii is a welcoming break from the 360.

Been left alone in work to do everything. Got 22 girders to program in 2 hours, and it takes an hour and a bit to do one possibly two. This month so far, i have worked the hardest out of all programmers. I've done 108 programs, the boss has done 62, Damien has done 38 but he's on holiday now so doesn't count (if he was here, he'd overtake the boss) and Jon has done 40 programs. I booked today off and the boss cancelled my day off because i apparantly havn't done enough to compensate a day off and then she booked today off and jon did so leaves me alone, oh well lifes a bitch cos i;m leaving most of the work to her and a note to her boss.

A few years from now i will move out of the parents place and have my own bills.

Just beat a very cocky player on Soul Calibur IV, he was giving me all the abuse he could give. I'm a level 1 online, haven't been online a lot and he is a level 45. He kept telling me he never loses, so i thwarted him 3-0 then left. He used a custom character, i used Yung-Seung. Made my already great day quite pleasing even more. Which currently has gone well. With the improvements done to my PC, it has taken my Vista score from 1.8 (yes, it was seriously that) up to 3.8 which is much better. The performance of the PC is much better and i can get a lot more done now than before. Work has gone well, out-did my boss with the workload completed. I did 35 programs today compared to her 6. I'm working to her targets and she isn't and work are noticing. And it is 1 year to the day since i joined Fairfield's.

I've nearly got the funds together to purchase myself a Wii with Smash Bros and Mario Kart. Just £40 short of the target. Took me an hour to fit the new Processor and Graphics card, the old processor was stuck onto the fan and the handle was located under the cooling fan the processor. So had to yank the fan off, the processor came with it and i had to pull out the broken pins. Fitted the new one, plugged everything back in that i unplugged inside the PC and all works fine, and much faster now.

I can crack the following All Eight Fingers on 2 joints. (socket and top) Both Thumbs on 1 joint (socket) 9 of 10 toes (can't do the big toe on the left foot since it broke.) Neck (occasionally) Shoulders Left Foot Nose (occasionally) These joints just crack as and when they feel like, can't help these ones Left Knee Back Wrists

Just scared of Wasps and Crabs mainly because both friggin hurt if they attact you. Crabs are the worst, the pincers clamp on and don't let go. Wasps i am alergic to so swell up in the place they sting badly. And i think i'd jump if i saw a huge spider like the ones in the pictures above, but as long as you know how to pick them up safely then you be fine.

Hopefully we get this same treatment over here as well, won't be too disapointed if we don't though.

Hopefully my new processor and graphics card have arrived today, ebuyer had an option for delivery today and what time slot i wanted it delievered in. Be nice. Which means after buying a PC with the following spec: 80 gig Hard Drive, 512mb RAM, CD/DVD drive, AMD Athlon 64 3800+ processor, some cruddy motherboard with a built in nvidia 6250 g-force hs graphics card and Windows Vista Home Basic. Overall it was a slow, painstaking process to get it to do anything. Improvement made are as follows: 160 gig Hard Drive, 2.5 (soon to be 3) gig RAM, CD/DVD drive, AMD Athlon 64 Dual Core 5000+ Processor, same motherboard with disabled graphics card and a new 512mb nvidia 8200 g-force gs. graphics card that slots into the board and uses its own memory. Now runs like a dream and does what i tell it when i tell it to do so. Thanks to ebuyer, all the improvements came in at under £150. Day so far is good, plenty of work to do as usual. Got my flippin duty tonight at the local, always the same. Stand there and listen to numbers getting called and to old people shout "house". May sort out the whole duty thing tonight so that the caller doesn't get free drinks and £10 and only gets the £10 and i get the extra free drinks. If that don't work, i think i shall sit in the bar all night.

Hellboy My mate lent me this in preparation for the new movie he wants to see, he needs someone to go with him so i watched the first one to get me in the mood ready. Never seen it before or read any of the comics so i thought it was a good movie. Good action/adventure and Hellboy himself has what is known as a no nonsense tough guy attitude. Good supporting acting as well. Quite liked the movie, 8/10

It can run Vista Aero interface, just poorly. I have spoken to the ICT guys in my work and they told me to get a separate card as the current one leeches my RAM. He also told me that integrated GPU doesn't work effectively with Vista. I ordered a separate card and a new CPU (the dual core), both for £60 together off Ebuyer.
