So on the ride home on the bus I thought I would write down some stuff since I have the chance. So finished Mediacore, finally, and its fully uploaded to youtube. My mate has moved into a new house which is awesome he has his own place but he has changed his number and I lost it so I'm going to have to have a suprise visit. So back to Mediacore, intro and outro I love, a few improvements I was talking to gee about and thinking myself. Firstly still waiting to hear back from Play It Again Sam i.e. PIAS to tell me if I can use the music. Next shorten the intro because it could get stale very quickly. Get an image for Plan B Productions, have a guy offering services so might take him up on it **edit 1 lol i didn't see it when i was writing this first but it sounds like I'm going to have a bit of fun times with him lol ahahahha anyways** (btw tallchick did an amazing job on the intro screen). Forth in the list (if your counting) is transitions between clips to make it more professional and lastly I need to up the quality for the video because converting is -pto **edit 2 yea wrote this on 2 sheets, don't know why i wrote this lol** degrading the quality a bit to much. I have a few more ideas for shows but want to make sure Mediacore works.
With my job I eel im more along the lines of ignoring it rather than acknowledging that I have a really boring job. Overall I shouldn't complain, it's clean work, its relaxing... physically I mean, I work with o.k. people (as with anything some are better than others) and work for a good company. I got to say though I have a big but in store for the job, and not in the good way. The but is that the job, which I can preform pretty well, is boring and irritating plus you get threatened with your job every day, which become tiring but hey, it has to be done.
Smudge, my kitten, has grown up so much hopefully I'll have some pic's under this piece of text now..... ** edit 3 here is a link to my twitter pics of him awww :P http://twitgoo.com/1pwjev?cx=u**
well did I do it or was I very lazy lol**edit 4 btw I actually laughed out loud on the bus** but he has become very obedient and can sit on command but cannot lie down yet.
So but journey 1 is coming to an end... final thought love gee, like Mediacore and dislike job mmm I could tweet that and sum everything I said...:P

Gaming News -02/11/10- News + Stuff
Personal Update + Game Review
Wooo hey people again, there hasn't been a lot happing in my house about games. Played some modern warfare and some more of final fantasy but nothing extensive.
The main gaming that I have been doing is a game on the DS called Advance Wars - Dark Conflict, which I was just informed from Dazo247 that it started orginally on the GameBoy Advance and then progressed from there. For those that havn't played this or many other games this is probably the best way I can put it, it is like chess except with army people with a bit of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" thrown in for good measure. To explain this further you control an army which can consist of 3 main groups, land, sea and air. This in turn has different units (groups of men fore example) that have different abliltys. The Rook on a chess board (the castle) can move differently to a bishop (the one that looks like a nipple
) this is the same with the different units in the game. "Rock, Paper, Scissors" also has similarties for example "Rock" works against "Scissors" but not against "Paper" the same is applied to the different units in this game.
These units can be built by having or capturing buildings, there are 5 different types of buildings
1.HQ - You have to defend yours and if you capture the enemys you have won that battle
2.City - This is the source of your income to build units, the more you have the more you earn
3.Factories - You capture/use these to build your Land units
4.Airport - You capture/use these to build your Air units
5.Port - You capture/use these to build your (you have guessed it) Sea units
So the 2 ways to win in this game it to either caputre the enemys HQ or to TOTALLY DESTROY the opposing team. As you can see that I prefer the second one. The actual gameplay itself is played on a grid which is turn baised (like I said like chess) where you would normally have the first turn. There are different variations on the land (mountains, road, grass) which effect your units aswell. So for a newcomer to the game all this information may seem daunting but even my girlfriend got addicted to this game, the training and the gameplay gradually increases what your doing from match to match, which when you complete one of these matches there is a sense of achivment that goes along with it that has been lacking in games recently.
Controls have been well thought out for both the D-pad and the touch screen, both of them are natural to use and everything is labled on the screen so even setting the game down for a week or a month, picking this game back up again will have you thinking "why did I ever put this down".
With all games there are always short-commings, for me this game has presented itself very well, the graphic may not be a vital part of a game like this but it does look good (even though my friend Daz thinks differently) the transitions between the action and the moving sceens work well (and if you dont like them you can skip it. The music is a little hetic due to the fact that different people get songs. What I mean by this is that you will face different opponents and you will take action of different people and they all have very good songs which change everytime they have a turn which can get a bit offputting sometimes, but sound effects are all good
.
The biggest falldown of this game is the story, for me it isn't how the story is presented(anime style characters), how they tell it (through text) it is the actual content of the story and how it is writen. Its a real shame when the idea is good, people banding together to fight for there lives against against plague and opposing forces but seriously, they had to use flowers as the incurable plague, FLOWERS jeese I mean talk about bad writing.
Even with the bad story line and the scizophrenic nature of the music this is a great game with amazing ammount of replay value due to the scoring system of the match and I havn't even played the multiplayer, so this game is defently worth the money of a full priced DS game (good thing though it has been out for a while so you could pick it up for cheap).
Any questions about it ask me.

Personal Update
95% or 96% completion on Assassins Creed 2.. I hate those dam feathers, well I just don't get what the appeal of it would be. I would either have to cheat by getting a map and visiting all 100 locations to make sure I got them all or I need to have extreme good luck (which unlike the sterotype i'm not that lucky).
I also started Final Fantasy 13 and jeese it looks pretty. I think it is the only reason why I am playing the game at the moment. Its ment to get better at the 15 hour mark. 5 hours is what i'm sitting on atm so 1/3 of the way there. I'm not realling liking the charachers, the storyline is like off cheese and the combat is weirdly detatched from what im doing with the controller...but i'm still playing it and afterwards I feel happy i.e. I enjoyed what I played. So I can't explain it yet but when I do you guys will be the first to know.
Gaming Update - Stuff
Ok so comic jumper came out, this is a downloadable title from the guys at twisted pixel who cam out with "the maw" and " 'splosion man" both extreamly polished downloadable games and i do advise at least downloading the demo just to experience them. Of those games being awesome I am very excited to play this game.
Next we have the assassins creed brotherhood, which released a beta to playstation plus customers (which i gotta say is a massive driving force because I loved the first game [and got angered at the end] and then loved the second game [and again got angered at the end] but it seems to be a way for ubisoft to finish these. So want to see some stuff from the beta... eagerly waiting... come on.
Enslaved has also came out and so far its been a mixed bag between my friends, some are saying its like uncharted crossed with ico (which to me sounds weirdly awesome) and some are saying thats its too glitchy for them to continue to play(but i think they are being a bit dramatic) but its a game that i will not play for a while, well untill the price goes down, i aint made of money.
An intresting thing I read is about a person in bioware mythric decided that when he learnt that in november that he and a few other people would be cut in that round of lay offs he would start up a blog about his experience. Now he created the name "EA Louse" i think in homage to EA Spouse which caused a bit of a stink for the gaming indrustry about working hours etc. So he is talking about how EA are outsourseing the work and firing the inhouse artists and getting the same or worse results. And people within the company are panicing about the new starwars game - the old republic and the troubles that is occuring. Personally I love this sort of thing just because it keeps people on there toes.
And that is it...for now.

Personal Update
Hoy hoy... hmm that greating didn't work as good.. anyway bought a bunch of old games like time crisis 2+3 with a GUN... I KNOW awesome :P bought a bunch of dreamcast games controllers and south park for the playstation. Was tring to get "dark angel" for the xbox or ps2 but they didnt have it. So I am currently over 50% trophies on Assassins creed 2 been playing it for about 4-5days and its going really well loving it so far :D. Soooo not a lot asides for that, was ment ot have a new gaming show up and running on youtube but that was hit on the head when my 40second intro is about the size of a blueray. lol.
Gaming Update - Some News + Releases
Rocka Banda 3es
Yea, Its rock band 3 with a release date of October 26th in North America and other dates for other places that you can get midi intrustments and REALLY LEARN THEM but thats not why im posting. It was revealed in an interview with IGN the Pro-Mode on the DLC, which utilises the Real Instuments will cost $1 more. This may not seem a lot but it is a raise of around 50% for the standard asking price of $1.99
Triple The Dimensions with 2 Screens and Nintendo
So we have now got a lot more information on the 3DS, Japan gets it (hopefully) in February at a playstation 3 price($300). Then Europe and North America in March so wooo, wont be buying that any time soon, but for the people that are getting it you will be able to transfer game data from one machine to another, even if the game isn't in the machine at the time. The 3DS will be getting it's own virtual console, with Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, and Virtual Boy games available and after years of fan griping, Nintendo has revealed that downloaded games can be transferred from one system to another on the 3DS, so if you lose or break your handheld, you won't lose access to all of your paid content. Fun times... right?!
Water Action is Fun??
Hydrophobia, the new downloadable title, is getting reviews all over the board. So much so that one of the team was complaining about a 3/10 mark saying that the reviewer hadn't finished the game(where they in turn said they did). So the game, to sum it up is a more shooty lara croft and add in water. Not a bad idea and it doesnt play that badly either but it seems to have the marmite effect (you either love it or you hate it).
And that me for today :P

Hard Drive Disappeared - Possible Homicide Investigation - Unsolved
Firstly I want to retrieve the stuff off the hard drive it has all the videos and songs that I have done so far and not put on the internet, would still like to do that.
Ahh I finally get some time off and then SHAZAM computer decides not to boot up. Now I had both Ubuntu and Windows XP. My windows would not boot up kept restarting and my ubuntu said that something was not safely removed. It only clicked (lol arf) after some time looking, one of my hard drives was not showing up. This was the one unhighlighted in Pic.1 Disk 1 1174GB (btw i think there may be a error here as well), now the one that is highlighted in Pink [Hatachi Old (H:)] was a reformatted segment because the hard drive that I'm currently using is actually ripped out of a laptop woo lol.
Also when I scan for virus the highlighted orange HD E:\ it comes up as Error: The volume does not contain a recognized file system (1005). Anyway here are some things you nice people can have a look over.
The first is computer management with different hard drives
and the next one is some data on my p.c.
Need any more evidence, photos, video, audio? or some more written documents reply back asap
Thanks for taking the time to read.
