Bonjour :)
Yes, I know. It's been a while since I posted last.
I have practically no excuse this time! I have started my new job however. So far so good. Enjoying it immensely, even though I do look like a Policeman in my snazzy new uniform! A hospital Porter is effectively an in-house delivery man for said hospital, delivering patients, parcels/letters, equipment, dinner trolleys or just moving the rubbish/clinical waste from A to B.
Despite assurances that they were a rarity, I had to move 2 dead bodies from the wards to the morgue within the first week. I was a little unsure as to how I would react to this, as I have never had any contact with a corpse before (other than my Grandad, but that was very brief) and as it turned out, there was nothing to it tbh. I was impressed with how respectful all the staff were with the deceased.
My Mario Advent calender's doors seem to be opening at an incredible rate of knots.
This past 2 weeks have literally flown by and I have still got a few presents to buy. Last months wages have been obliterated already and luckily I will get my final Argos wage on the 23rd, which should see me over the finish line gift-wise! On the plus side, I have Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing Day off work. I honestly thought that I would have copped for them shifts as I am the new boy!
Now...onto my 3DTV!
Got this a few weeks ago. I have wanted one for aaaaaages, pretty much after seeing Avatar at the cinema in 3D and then seeing Crysis 2 running on my mate's active Samsung set. As I blogged last time, my missus finally caved and we got a passive 42" LED LG set. The 3D effect is literally amazing, I love it! Avatar looks as fantastic as it did at the pictures, even (dare I say it?) slightly better as the picture seems sharper on the smaller screen. Wipeout HD and SuperStardust HD look stunning in 3D too, my mother Goose has bought me Batman : Arkham City for Xmas and that has 3D, so looking forward to trying that :)
Also hoping to get either vouchers or Uncharted 3 too! The 2D to 3D setting works pretty well, adding depth to Portal 2, but not quite the full 3D effect as advertised.
Gaming-wise (non 3D), I haven't really played much. A bout of shameless trophy-whoring on the Sam & Max games aside, a little bit of a go on RAGE (which looks stunning on the new tellybox) and that's about it. Had a blast on Portal 2 co-op with my good mate Dracon Zeal, lots of fun, but got a bit tiresome with the incessant loading screens. The levels literally took longer to load than it did did to play at times!
Anyhow, thats all for now!
