The ethereal Chess game, Kalina Ann, smashing the shadow Dante in super quick time with Quicksilver style, in fact both hidden styles are great, (didn’t know they were in it!), shotgun Stinger, even the general fighting kept me entertained as there was so much depth to it…
Really must start writing the review.
Anyway, I just been to the Jobcentre. Great fun. Had my six month review, I’ve now got a specific “advisor” who will help in my quest for employment. Which is nice.
Finished Mission 20 on Easy last night, Mission 19 is still giving me loads of problems on Normal though.
Highlights included: Fighting two Hell Vanguards at the same time, the secret target practise mission, being trapped in Devil Trigger state, Beowulf + Royal Guard = pwnage, teaming up with Virgil vs the possessed Sparda, and my all time number one feature of any game that includes it, the Boss Rush.
And I’m just downloading three new episodes of Red vs Blue.
Sorry for neglecting you blog… DMC3 is just that good.
Not much to say really, done another review, got turned down for another job, typical week for the toxmeister.
There’s a few things going on right now that I’d rather not share… You understand, right?
So I got turned down for that other job… nevermind, didn’t want to work in a newsagents anyway. I’ve got another interview lined up for tomorrow at a mobile phone shop… Should be interesting.
Devil May Cry 3 is out on Thursday… I wants it so bad. Might see if I could somehow get it as soon as it comes into my mates shop, I’ve already worked out what I’m trading in and stuff. Saw an advert for it on the TV last night with that tune in the background… Oh man oh man, I’ve not been this excited for a game since Halo 2.
Another boring day of waking up, going to the Jobcentre only to be patronised out of the building, then coming home and getting semi-bored waiting for Lady T to get in. Ah well.
I’m going to have a coffee then finish off my Darwinia review. I’m also thinking about reviewing Bujingai Swordmaster. It’s got some nice touches that I feel my writing style would compliment.
I’m quite happy, today has been alright. Nice food, nice times, had a go on Mortal Kombat Deception… which was average. Certainly no Virtua Fighter… Which reminds me, Darwinia, great start, lacks direction. Expect a summation of it, 250-ish times larger than the four words there, mid-week review fans!
And me and Jane are off to Fareham tomorrow, she’s driving me around in her new car, nice! I’ve christened it “Herzog” as the three letters on the registration plate are “HZG” – I like to name cars in that way.
Toodloo!
We lost our internet connection yesterday. I never realised how much of a boredom reducer it was. Done all your tasks for the day? Mum hogging the TV? Play Halo 2 on Live! Browse Gamesradar! Write some blog!
“You don’t know what you got ’til it’s gone”
Too true.
*thanks God for everything I have, and never wanting to lose them*
Well, I say God, but I’m not religious in the slightest. Must be a turn of phrase.
I just sold Hero Quest and Space Crusade to good ol’ melatonin. More childhood memories gone… Or is it? I truly believe that during my childhood there was another person acting on my behalf, as all my memories up until like 8 years ago are in the third person. Bizarre. I can remember “doing” things that I would never dream of doing now, they would be totally out of character. Maybe I should see a psychiatrist. Or even a spelling tutor.
Anyway, must be off, got an interview tomorrow, nice and early, yes, a job interview! Wish me luck, etc.
This has been toxic, signing off for the evening.
I think I’ve figured it out.
If I hadn’t of grassed those thieving buggers at Game up, then they wouldn’t have dragged me down and got me sacked too. I’d still be at Game, working in a job I truly loved, I’d have carried on as Deputy for a bit, then gone to the Southsea concession, ran that for a bit, then when the standalone store came around, I’d be a shoe-in for managing my very own brand spanking new store. Then, Jane could go for this new Senior Lab Persons job in Portsmouth and we could’ve moved over there.
As it is, I got sacked for doing the right thing, ended up in a job that made me frustrated and angry and physically ill that I had to quit to retain what was left of my sanity, and now that’s on my record causing me to not get any of the 3000 jobs I’ve applied for since.
I do a good thing, I end up in a bad place. Karma sucks, it doesn’t work.
I watched Bridget Jones 2 yesterday. Quite funny. Although not as good as the first. The bit where she put the wrong jacket on was the highlight.
Ugh, I’ve just logged on and looked at my last post. It reminded me I need to do this at some point. But not today, I still feel a bit rough from last night. I didn’t really drink that much, but I guess where I’m not used to it and I had such a rubbish nights sleep…
The salmon was absolutely lovely last night, nice big chunk of it, so succulent. Good night out all in all, had some fun games of Burnout and DOA on Live as well.
Oh yeah, and I said I’d sort through all my Games Workshop games and figures and stuff for melatonin, but it’s such a daunting task. I don’t really know where to start.
I woke up at 8 o’clock this morning, with a feeling of… I dunno… confusion. I’ve got quite a bit to do today, but I just feel… lost.
Three hours have passed and I’m still in my dressing gown, trying to decide what to do first. I do this a lot though, and end up getting nothing done.
Going out for Jane’s works do tonight, mmm, nice food.
And I’ve got no money, I don’t think I’ve even got enough for bus fare into town, which means I’ll have to walk, and it’s bloody freezing out there.
Well, one out of three isn’t bad, eh? eBay and user page will have to wait ’til another time.
Today’s just been… well… I dunno… uneventful.
Oh well.
Done the DMC2 review this afternoon, it rocks. Slight dispute over the score, but all is good.
Went and signed on, got given a couple of jobs to apply for, great. Good luck me.
I hate the Jobcentre. There’s always a gang of kids there, looking like they’ve just left school, bragging about some kid they just smashed up. There’s always that weird looking middle-aged guy that looks like a closet psycho. There’s always that fat guy in a suit, looking like he just got made redundant from his comfortable job he’s had since school, and now doesn’t understand how other jobs work. There’s always that smelly old guy who insists on sitting next to you. And you always get that snooty adviser who looks down her nose at you and makes you feel useless… I hate the Jobcentre, so demoralising.
I’ve decided I’m going to take Dead or Alive and Advance Guardian Heroes back. DOA is just such a sluggish and unresponsive fighter, and I’ve already got DOA3… And AGH has been broken. Tap A twice to jump to the target? WTF? Rubbish.
I’ve given myself the week off too, no more reviews ’til next week. Wouldn’t want to burn out all my creativity now, would I?
Plan for tomorrow is: Buy Daily Echo. Put games on eBay. Do Poopgang user page thing.
Toodles!
P.S. I’ve only just noticed that Submit and Preview are switched around on Poopgang. I’m sure it’s the other way on Gamesradar.
I have to go and sign on in a sec, for all the good it’ll do me. As I was classified as leaving my old job voluntarily, I’m not eligible for Jobseekers Allowance, which is a bit of a bummer. My Mum and Lady T have been really supportive though, helping me out if I need the odd tenner here or there, and I never let a day pass without thanking my lucky stars for them, I’m so incredibly grateful for their support.
Ooh, bit girly there… Er, macho stuff…
*kills a baby seal*
That’s better.
