Hello my fellow Gamespotter's.

Today marks five years since my birth into the Gamespot universe, so I thought I would make a very quick blog on what's happening and my plans for the future. I've been meaning to post a blog since December last year, but every single time I get to finishing it and go over proof reading, I didn't feel quite happy with what I wrote, hence my prolonged absence from the site itself.

Ideally I would like to be around a lot more often and crafting reviews of games I spent ridiculous amounts of time on (those darn platinum trophies), but with University being my priority at the moment, I can't find the time to engage in fulfilling conversations with other users or find much time for gaming itself.

In short, all I can say is that since my leave, a lot has happened and everything has essentially changed for me which I'm hoping I can get a blog up about it soon as well as a Dead Island review I wrote late last year, I still haven't got around to proof reading yet.

It's a real shame I cannot be around as much anymore, but I'll try to make more of a presence once I've found the time to write and blog In the near future.

Until then feel free to hit me up on twitter or send me a personal message through here, and until then best wishes and enjoy the Gamespot cake :)

Whatever could this mean???? :o

[spoiler] i just need to do a few things :P [/spoiler]

Here i am, writing 11 hours away from officially starting uni and have a few things to say;

• I wont be gaming as much anymore and will only be limited to friday arvos and the weekend if im not too busy, so consider it my semi-retirement from platinuming
• i am now 18 (as of the 26th of february) :D
• KZ3 is an epic letdown thus far (MP wise)
• i have a cold during a 35+ heat spell thats lasted well over a week
• I promise** to get more blogs done

**actual product may differ from one shown

Note:

• according to the playstation EU blog on comparison of what i downloaded, there was an 'Eat Them!' avatar missing, left it out in case of error (supposedly 5 not 4)

Thoughts.

pretty lackluster month, though i wouldnt expect each month to be chocablock full of downloads. I quite enjoyed having the sonic dynamic theme, although the coin collecting sound becomes irritating when ever cursor movement you make, the sound would be heard.

previous updates

December 2010

i've been coming and going with everything happening recently, but im hoping to get something organised as soon as possible. As per my monthly installment of psn+ content, i just need to finish up the excel sheet which shouldnt take long (in theory). Other than that i'm hoping to have a blog on pokemon gaming and the amount of hours i put into them before uni starts and other tidbits when they pop up.

So watch this space for more.

:)

after subscribing to psn+ late november, and paying $70 to sony for a year's subscription, i couldn't help but think what kind of value for money i will get with it, as well as speculating whether or not i could reach the apparant $340 savings mark as stated by Sony.

For this project, i'll be recording anything i download, most of which will be free to see how much content and its value i recieve within the subscription period. This will help those who do not frequently buy things off psn to see what kind of variety you get when purchased.

As many people have mentioned, psn, minis, and psone games are only available as long as you have the subscription (theoretically renting it out), but besides the point, what is the likelihood of people actually still playing the same title beyond 12 months anyway (given that it hasn't got an online component)?

the month of december's downloads, as well as accumulative savings is in the image under spoiler tags below:

items highlighted in yellow indicate that it is a psn exclusive, and no retail price is associated with it.

hi all.

Those of you who are reading may noticed i have returned after disappearing for a while due to my ATAR exams during November, but now i'm back, back with a....cookie.

Obviously the exams finished in November but why return mid December? Well i thought i would have some time to plan out the next few months which are life changing i guess, and also game a heck of a lot.

Now without school, or a job, i have plenty of free time, so i'll be freely coming in and out and probably make more of a presence, and more frequent blogs with pictures.

So feel free to ask me any questions, i'll be happy to answer, We appreciate your service.

well.....not technically...yet.

though 8 days left of high school, its close enough to say its the end.

Maybe i should find 5 endings that i found were like nonother, for each day of my final week.

Just an idea.

well we'll see soon won't we.
