OH YES. Another blog by me. this must be, what, the twentieth by now? Most likely. But whatever. Again, I promise to make an effort to keep this one afloat, and to post stuff semi-regularly at least. I’ll try.
Anyway, I’ve recently started college. It’s not too bad. Shame I have to get the bus there and back, which isn’t particularly cheap, even with my student concession. Still, it’s not bad (better than school) and I’m only in twice a week, so it doesn’t exactly eat up your entire week. Hopefully, it’ll be fairly easy as well. I seem to be getting on pretty well so far, especially in Software Development. But it’s only been a couple of weeks. It’s undoubtedly going to get a lot more intense in the coming months.
I’ve bought a couple of Blu-Ray films as well recently, mostly to see what the quality was like. I got Superbad, Full Metal Jacket and Spider-Man 3 (Yeah, I know it’s shit but it was only a fiver :P). The quality is pretty damn good, but not quite as good as it’s being hyped up to be (even Full Metal Jacket is really good quality, which surprised me seeing as it’s like a 20 year old movie). It is noticeable to begin with, but you’re not sitting through the whole film thinking “OMG, the quality pwns!” It’s definitely a lot better than DVD, but not good enough to warrant paying £20 a pop for.
I also recently got Soulcalibur IV (PS3), which I am mightily impressed with. Very fun game, especially when you play it with a mate. My only real complaint is the difficulty of Arcade Mode. The Apprentice is so overpowered it’s absurd. Took me absolutely ages to unlock him. Doesn’t help you have to use Darth Vader, who’s quite a slow character. Still, great game. Just wish they’d hurry up and released Yoda as DLC. 
I also managed to get Call of Duty 4 recently as well. Finally. I managed to find it quite cheap, so I snatched it up. £39.99 pre-owned at Gamestation (and just about anywhere else that sells pre-owned games)? FUCK THAT. I got it new in Argos for £30. I could’ve got it for PC, except I don’t really like playing PC games. I’d much rather lie on my bed, playing games in glorious HD on my lovely TV. That’s why I’m looking forward to BioShock on PS3 so much. Hunched over a keyboard and mouse, staring into a 17″ PC monitor mere inches from my face doesn’t really appeal to me. Why does video gaming have to be such an expensive hobby. Sooner I get a job, the better.
Anyway, that’s all I have to say for now. Welcome back to the site. Again.

Obligatory test comment.

Hello yet another Joe Leslie blog, thank you for linking to mine, you lovely person.
Not really sure what to comment other than um… good luck with the college course Mr Joe Joe.
Aaron Says:
Bioshock will Pwn.
Joe Says:
Clive: Your welcome. And thank you. 
Aaron: Damn right it will. A mate of mine who’s a bit of a 360 fanboy is always like “omg we got it ages ago.” I just rebut with “Yeah, well, we got slightly improved graphics and exclusive content.”
