And the Vacation Begins

Times A Whore and She knows it.
It always seems that I'm writing how time has again flown by like a bitch. Maybe its just me but I swearer there is some explanation for this, time contraction maybe? With uni ending and exams finishing I am left ahead of me many months of vacation, woo! Celebrations indeed. And what better way to begin the celebration than a new computer? Yup, in part its the reason for why this post has taken ages to be published, as you know I'm a very easily distracted guy. Of course with all this power I had to give it the worthy name of GW (You don't have to point out I'm sad). But it must be coincidence or something, I know for certain it was great news to hear in the same week that a new Metal Gear Solid is under the works.

Metal Gear Solid 5!?
For the past few weeks now, Konami has been releasing tip bits of information about this coming game on the following page, Next. It was only a few days ago however that it was for certain that this project was indeed a new Metal Gear. At the moment many are equally awaiting for the current countdown timer to end this coming Sunday and to receive the next batch of info, but many more are holding much excitement for the planned announcement at E3 2009 (June 1st-4th). However it seems this tease advertisement campaign was somewhat foiled by Japanese magazine Famitsu. This months issue of the video game magazine featured an interview with the legendary creator of MGS, Hiro Kojima. Yet to the dismay of Japanese readers the published issue had some sectioned blanked out of the interview. Yet it would be an understatement to say that the images of what seems to be Raiden and Big Boss have not inspired excitement that MGS5 might be on the horizon. Its only left to speculation where this next installment will take the series, but I know that Major Sheppard and Myself have some ideas, as so far we have been right in foreseeing that Raiden will appear again. I cant believe it was almost a year from today that MGS4 was just coming out

The Next One is a Joint One
And so don't be surprised to see the next post on Blankmind to be a discussion on this. But please don't ask when this will be made, with me and my new computer and Major Sheppard's new graphics tablet, it could be when the next ice age begins. Talking about ice ages, I think our second episode for the podcast maybe actually our first. I wounder whatever happened to the first? (Cough)

Another Birthday Major Sheppard

Another Birthday
Just a quick post to wish a happy birthday to Major Sheppard and give him this surprise!Hope you like your bday present as this should be arriving at your door soon. Anyway, to everyone else I should be back soon with another post about some crap, and for some reason I think its gonna be Fallout 3... hmm, who knows! And I think if im not too lazy, this blog should be getting a mobile equivalent for all you blackberry and iphone readers (are there any readers at all, lol?).

Back again...

Well once again it has been sometime since I was last on here to grace you all with my blogging, lol. But seriously, the plan was to share with you all my review of the ‘Big’ addition to Playstation Home, unfortunately due to some technical problems and some miss-communication, the update wasn’t as big s expected. However the Resident Evil 5 space was released, although Capcom are still working on a number of sections for this space, which all sound to be well worth the wait.
Now the second review was to be for the Titan pack, which was released for Unreal Tournament 3, available on both the PC and Playstation 3 versions. Unfortunately we were told not to install the pack until our university project was complete. So know that it’s all done I will be installing the pack soon and begin my review of the pack.
On to more news, I finally brought an Xbox 360, a very good machine, somewhat annoying that it cost an additional £50 just to make the thing wireless, but oh well. I do personally prefer my Playstation 3; however I will say that both machines come with their good points and bad points. Today also marks the day I got the Wii, with the Wii Fit, very very fun, and certainly makes for a more interesting and engaging workout, but ill write more about it next time.

A World Conquer and Nowhere

The Million Dollar Man:
I know! I'm shocked too that I'm writing another post so soon, but with all things considered its no wounder as I've once again returned back to my home in Luxembourg (Did I ever post where I once lived? God I'm informative). Its like the frikkin middle age over here! Many castles, villages and little shops. So you can image my frustration when I went on my pilgrimage to the capital the other day to get a charger for my phone, only to find that in fact their are no electrical shops in the capital city (I mean why would I ever think there would be any in the first place? Who knows?). Though things are not that bad here; I brought a new ipod before I came here and I've been using it ever since, messing around with the many apps that iTunes supplies. So as you may have guessed by my lovely segway, we love segways here, not the vechile thing...wait, have I spelt that right? Anyway, here's what I'm gonna talk about:

Conquering the World via my iPod:
So having been torn away from RE5 for three weeks, I've been looking for a substitute on my ipod and of all the apps I have there is no other that I spend so much playing on other than Lux DLX, a fun and comprehensive game of Risk. Not only can you relive my great daydream of conquering the world, you also get to download extra maps and scenarios for free. I further recommend taking a look at Artificial Life. Though lacking in interactivity, its very hypnotising watching the evolution of organisms in conditions you set.

The Final Project:
The few of you who do come on here and read this blog, well for starters its amazing that your reading this or have read this far of the post, but more importantly you may have noticed a new link on the right panel The Final Project. I'll talk about it more at a later date, but for now go check it out, its updated every so often.
