Rock Night

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Had a great evening with friends on Rock Band last night. It has been a while since our last Rock Band evening, so it was nice to revive it and have a bit of fun together again. Picked up a few new songs this time also, which is bringing the list of playable songs to quite a large number now :-)

Unfortunately the snow made popping to the shops more challenging, so we decided to order take-away pizzas, however we ran out of coke during the evening so had to pop out to the shops anyway. My only disappointment for that is that (given the offers at the supermarket) if we had all pooled money together [like paying for the take away] we could have bought nearly 40 pizzas for the same price as we paid for 3 pizzas, 2 chicken wedges combos, 1 potato wedges and 2 bottles of coke. Which comes to my main dislike of take-away food. Its so very expensive compared to what I could pick up from the supermarket at the same price. Still, it is in no way a downer on the evening, I had a great time, and look forward to our next get together.

Managed to clock in about an hour or two of Gran Turismo 5 with Stuart in the evening also (as he was staying over), which added a nice variant on to the end of the day.

Snow

Lots of snow here at the moment. Woke up to find a fresh layer everywhere and the snow is still falling. This should make the roads interesting tonight (and for tmrw morning)

New Section

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

You may have noticed a new ‘games’ menu item on the main menu bar of the website. This has been added recently to collate all the useful hints and tips for different PS3 games that I have. I tend to have to keep some bookmarks handy on my browser and bounce around various different websites to get hold of hints and tips, so I decided to collate them all into one place to make them easy to find for me and pull them together for anyone else who is looking for any hints and tips and happens to use my website.

I would like to point out that I don’t claim any originality or innovative work for these tips. I have just pulled all the stuff into one place and do not deserve the credit for the person who actually went out there and found all these things out. I also apologize for this being a very short list of games and hints and tips. It was not my intention to become yet another games tips website, so I won’t have hints and tips for all the games that may be out there, but in all likelihood from now on, if I own the game then there is likely to be some hints and tips for it on here if the game requires any hints or tips. I hope the new section will be of use to you and good luck to all you gamers out there.
