Well it's been a week since my last blog entry.
Yeah I'm lazy and should probably post on here more than I do, but I am managing to post more than my last attempt at this (I managed a total of 2 entries then).
This week I have had a job interview, been my mother's personal skivvy (curse the bunion op) some more, worked loads and managed to claw my way to Rank 17 on Battlefield 3 :)
The interview went well, I got the job! So exactly 3 and a bit weeks til I embark on my new career as a hospital Porter! Sealing the lid on 3 years with Argos and 6 months as a part-time cleaner too. I honestly can't wait, looking forward to it. It's more money and hopefully plenty of overtime will be available. The main downside is that it'll be shift work, either 6am-2pm, 2pm-10pm or 10pm-6am.
While I don't see it as a downside personally, the missus isn't best pleased. I'm kinda hoping that she'll come round and understand why it's a good thing in due course, time will tell I guess.
As far as gaming goes, I've only really played BF3 today. Had a little stint on it during the week, but the servers were playing up like crazy. Couldn't join a game, could but then the lag was stupid, then I could but would get booted less than a few mins later and then back to not being able to join any games full stop.
Other than that, I had a quick browse of Onlive. Generally I think it's very swish, the interface is very good and easy to navigate. If the broadband speeds in sunny Bridlington pick up somewhat, I may look at investing in the service :)
Skyrim and Uncharted 3 are both on my "most wanted" radar. Though I have been told not to buy anything due to the imminence of Christmas and the inevitable presents (please let one of them be Skyrim)!
I say that and my "to play" pile is still very large. Currently consisting of RAGE, Dark Souls, Demon's Souls, Portal 2, 3D Dot Heroes and (of course) Battlefield 3!
So I guess it's the same old adage - too many games and not enough time to play em all!
Probably even less time when I start the new job too.
Oh well, it's a nice problem to have I guess!
MadBo.
I can sympathise with that. My "to play" list is Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, DC Universe, finish off Batman Arkham City, inFamous 1&2, Ghostbusters.... The list goes on and on.
ReplyDeleteI used to work shifts, and it's not a bad thing. Early shift means that you still have time to do stuff in the afternoon, but have to go to bed early. Late shift means that you get the morning and just go to bed as soon as you get in. Good luck with the job :)
Thanks krosha :)
ReplyDelete3 weeks to go til I start!!
Let me know if inFamous 2 is any good, I loved the 1st one but haven't got around to playing 2 yet!
Grats on the job dude, I can imagine it being quite an interesting one.
ReplyDeleteThese are my games in progress: Rage, Deus Ex, Batman AC, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3 and yet to start: Enslaved and God of War 3.
inFamous 2 is good; I think it's about the same than the first. The whole thing tends to be "bigger / longer" but without too many differences. The new powers can be odd, but the choices are a real game changer; are you going to use the high-power Megabolt, or hang back out of range and Artillery them to submission? I've played the Festival of Blood too, that was a fun way to spend Halloween morning!
