Been away

2010-10-14T06:57:00.000-07:00

Sorry I haven't posted recently guys, I've been away. I went on a short journey to Edinburgh, to Our Dynamic Earth, a brilliant museum-type-place if ever there was one.

Anyway, I've been into Minecraft lately, just started a new save earlier today, playing on Hard. Killed my first creeper on the morning of the second in-game day.

Listen up for more updates; I hope to post more often from now.

WHY ARE YOU SO RAINY, RAIN? YOU MAKE SURFACES WET AND PROVIDE AN UNDESIRABLE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO PRACTICE PARKOUR

FUCK YOU WEATHER NOW I HAVE TO PLAY MINECRAFT ALL DAY

Coursework

2010-09-29T10:23:00.000-07:00

My English teacher decided she wouldn't tell me about my deadline for a speaking and listening piece I wasn't aware existed. The deadline is in 2 days. I also have another piece to finish. Damn fuck shit. Damn.

Indigestion

2010-09-27T03:39:00.001-07:00

Got indigestion overnight, bile in my throat, got a cold, off school. I hate illness :(

Training day

2010-09-26T09:38:00.000-07:00

Up at half 9 this morning due to a party last night (where there were some rather attractive females but my social awkwardness kicked in whenever I wasn't being the funniest guy there) and headed out to practice some parkour. Quite a tiring day, grazed my oblique over some dumb metal that stuck out as I muscle-up'd a wall. :(

OH FUCK FUCK

So there I was minding my own business and I bought GTA San Andreas in CashGenerator.

I didn't check the disk.

I got home. I opened the case. I turned the disk over.

That fucking thing has more scratches than the arms of a self-harmer. All of my rage exploded, almost shattering the screen of my television.

Now I have to ride my bike all the way back for £2.00. Oh well, I'll head into Home Bargains and buy 5 bottles of BOOST cola.

You may have won the battle, CashGenerator.

CashGenerators

2010-09-25T05:01:00.000-07:00

I'm gonna head around to CashGenerators again today, the place where I picked up the PS1 memory card.

They have a few old Xbox's, Gamecubes and GBAs that I may or may not pick up. I'm definitely getting the copy of Test Drive Unlimited for PS2 if it's still there, though.

Any ideas where I can get good classic Xbox/PS2 games in England for cheap? I'm going to a car boot tomorrow, which will hopefully prevail.

MoneyTraders

Hey there guys.

Up here in Blackpool there's a place (a bit like Cash Converters) called Money Traders. Basically exchange your stuff to us for a sixteenth of the price it's worth and we'll pay you cash in hand. There's two here in Blackpool, a larger one and a smaller. I was in the smaller yesterday and picked up a slightly scratched copy of Tony Hawk's Project 8 on PS2 for £2.99, but today I didn't get anything from the larger one. I also picked up an original PS1 memory card from Cash Generator (around the corner from the smaller MoneyTraders) for £1.99. I'm thinking of picking up an old Xbox and a GBA, but I'm gonna check out the local super-carboot sale on Sunday first.
