Update

Art and Fanfiction pages are finally finished. Every art piece has an initial comment by me and every Fanfiction link has a comments page

Also you might have noticed Chapter 4 of Negative Reflection appeared recently. Yeah I decided to get back to it.

In life nothing really changed. Though I did get an awesome 32" Samsung R7. Now I just need to test it.

Wii get you excited then Wii bring you down again

So the Wii's launch details have been revealed.

£180 includes Wii sports plus full controller and sensor bar. 8th December. Good Good.

Shame they had to ruin it. How you may ask?

1. Metroid delayed until 2007. [sarcasm] Nice move, really [/sarcasm]. This was THE game I wanted for the Wii. Zelda sounded awesome too but it was metroid getting me all excited. Now the launch is missing SSB Brawl, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Super Mario Galaxy as well as Metroid. WHY?!?

2. Not region free, not even the Virtual console. Big what the fuck here. Why lock out the virtual console games too. I wanna play Mega Drive games at 60 fucking hz. If you don't think there's a difference get your mega drive out and load Sonic 2, then load up Gens or a mega drive emulator with a Sonic 2 ROM. There is a massive difference, particularly with the music. I notice it more cause I imported Sonic Mega Collection, meaning the last couple of times I played Sonic 2 was an NTSC version and I kinda got used to it. Playing my SONIC MEGA COLLECTION PLUS or SONIC GEMS COLLECTION (both PAL) I realised there is a huge difference.

Found both of these out the day after I got excited about it. Even put down my pre-order and now, well I'm still excited. Zelda will just have to stretch a little longer. No way am I waiting for the Gamecube version, which has been delayed and even rumoured not to make it our shores after all.

Anyway changing the topic slightly. The Art page is almost complete. All images are up and linked I just need to comment on most of them. Fanficition page is in progress too. Still a fair bit to go mind. Haven't even started on the new title banner.

Amazon and Argos...you just made my list

First a little update. FTS is going along quite nicely though it's taking me away from my fic writing. I did write half of a chapter for negative reflection but then I started my artwork page, and well that takes a lot of time creating thumbs, half size images and actually making blog posts for each one on my art blog.

So be patient.

Well as for Amazon and Argos well....

It all started when I decided it's time to buy a HDTV. I've been promising myself I'd get one since I started work and it's now 19 weeks later and I finally saved enough money. Or so I though.

This TV was £707 inc £24 p&p. I could just afford that last friday. Now as you can see it went up by £70 or so, meaning I had to postpone it a week. Damn you amazon.

Furthermore I realised that to make room for my new TV I'd need to get some DVD racks for the games the currently occupy that space. I go to Argos. I think great deal, Buy 1 get 1 free. Holds 50, have around 100 games. Sorted right? Well what they don't tell you it's secretly buy 1 DVD tower get a CD tower free.

A CD FUCKING TOWER. I don't need one of those.

Thus both are on my list as the parody of Richard Nixon from Simpsons/Futurama would say.

On the plus side Man Utd, 100%, Get in there!
