The wait is over, the trailer has been released and everyone and their grandma have either seen it and/or uploaded it. So, as one of those that uploaded it to YouTube, here it is…
Gah, it’s impossible when you have people that expect you to buy stuff on EVERY occasion in the calendar. Especially when you have a missus that likes to ‘celebrate’ every possible event, she’s a sucker for the corporate holidays that squeeze you for money at some unknown shit holiday they made up and if I don’t get anything or give her less than £10 for any of these events, misery shall follow.
I’ve gotta admit that it pisses me off, I wouldn’t bother with it all as I like to keep my money for stuff I want to use it for, not because of some ‘Day’, but when you think about it, there’s one of those ‘Day’s’ at least 8 times a year.
Then you have the matter of Birthdays to consider, I reckon I should be safe after Easter and be able to resume saving money until the kids Birthdays 3 months later in August, that’s if the missus doesn’t come up with some bullshit excuse of an idea just to get cash out of me like she usually does. “What do you think about….” NO! Don’t bother asking coz it ain’t gonna happen. I know it pisses her off that I don’t waste my money by spending it on shit we don’t need, but that’s just tough, she can’t stay in all day, she has to go out to town or somewhere that involves spending money. She’s one of those that aren’t happy unless they’re spending money, yet I prefer to buy only what I need and no, I know I don’t ‘need’ games or consoles, but due to not really needing anything, the money I’ve saved not buying shit for the sake of it provides funds for indulging in stuff like that.
It’s been so boring today, no news worth putting up on Mental Gamers and I’m not going to join the rest of the internet going on about the PS3, I already said it was a failed launch, nothing I can say is going to make any difference to what everyone else is saying. UK:Resistance have pretty much everything about the failings of the PS3 in Europe featuring a photo from most of the ‘events’, including the pretty much non-existent one in Birmingham. It seems I’m not the only one that thinks it was a failure, fosfor gadgets also think the same and the fact is, it was a disappointing launch despite the announcement that it’s actually the fastest selling console by selling 165,000 over the weekend.
I’ve sorted the social bookmark problem by using a different version that doesn’t involve using icons, but just text links to what are probably the mostly used ’services’ by people. I’m trying to ‘get around’ to like-minded bloggers and hopefully get some linking going and become part of a kind of social network, which is why I’m changing my blogging style slightly to not only include personal stuff, but to mention more about stuff I’m into and if there’s anything happening about the stuff I’m into.
I. AM. SPARTA. n shit, yo…

Or is it make up my mind? I suppose it depends where you come from, but anyway, as you can see, I’ve gone back to using t
he Say It 2: Electric Boogaloo WordPress theme because I really liked it before and despite searching through 100’s of other themes to find the ‘ideal’ theme, it seems I’d already found it and hadn’t properly realised it.
One of the things that bugs me a bit is why the social bookmarkers don’t ‘work’ properly, they work fine in the first post, then they go all spread out in the other posts and don’t even appear on the previous page by just leaving text links that messes up the whole thing. It’s not the theme that’s the problem as it’s the same even with the default Kubrick theme, but for some reason, it just doesn’t seem to look the way it’s supposed to, so I’ll be looking at some other way to have ’social bookmarking’ in the event someone actually visits and finds something remotely interesting.
I saw Melanie C on GMTV earlier and have to say she’s looking rather lovely with her longish straight hair and level fringe, she looks pretty cute. I don’t really bother listening to the radio or watching MTV or whatever, so I wasn’t too aware of her releasing a new album that’s apparently due on April 2nd and her new single, I Want Candy is out today. That reminds me, I still haven’t got her previous album Beautiful Intentions and although it’s cheaper at Amazon, I also want to get Night At The Museum and that’s on offer at Play.com for £11.99 for the 2 disc special edition, so it looks like I’ll be getting that from there.
Ok, so that’s it until I find something else worth blogging about, keep it chill dawg …. n stuff..

Well, I never thought it would last this long due to me usually losing interest after a month or so, but here I am, 50 posts and 3 Vlogs later and I still have the interest to do more.
I’m still deciding on a theme that I want to stick with for as long as I can, this one is nice, but it doesn’t work well in IE, so I’m still on the look out for a decent 3 column theme that’s a bit more tweakable than this. One of the things that b0rks up the style is because I use Flash/Javascript elements and they tend to make things go wibbly and cause some things to break the style. I’ve changed it to 2 columns to see if it works any better and enabled the sliding thing at the top (the bit you click on Open/Close to see/hide), but anyway…
I suppose I’ll mention the PS3 and oh|so|failed launch where I don’t think they’ve even sold half of the UK’s allocation. I checked on line to see who had stock yesterday, every Argos store within my postcode had stock as did GAME, Gameplay, Amazon and a few other sites I looked on. I had to laugh at the lack of interest at the ‘launch event’ when only about 125 turned up and apparently about 20 of those were press, so it was hardly the most exciting thing to happen and despite what the Sony execs say, it was a failure.
Well, that’s it, time to go looking for more themes and do other stuff…
