Mirror's Edge

First of all, it's an awesome game. It may take some people 5 hours, but I did it without Runner's Vision and it took me almost 9. Which is quite a difference.

Fun story.

Fun graphics.

However, unrelentless speed run times. Vis-à-vis the following:

65 milliseconds into qualifying. How very, very close.

Still good fun though.

Yay Banjo (classic).

Yummy, Wrath + Audiosurf + Banjo Kazooie is sexy.

Why can I not type audio without spelling it auido? Silly me.

Level 71 in Wrath, getting better at Audiosurf, and I'm just generally happy about Banjo Kazooie to be honest. My favourite game, ever.

No Nuts & Bolts arrival today, though, which is a bit strange. At least it gives me time to play the first one.

Scooch went well today, can't believe that it's like tomorrow. Should be good fun. I think I'll try and get someone to take some photos for me, which could be awesome.

What will not be awesome, however, is ICT. I have lost almost all interest in it now. Oh well.

Hmm, UCAS could be fun. Finished my second draft just now, and references have been distributed. Which is sexy. I hope. Staffordshire Open Day Saturday, which might be fun. Who knows.

God, this post has no structure. Hmm, I like long posts.

Damn my new camera.

Well, not really. It's just at 3am and you want to sleep, but can't, as your photos now take more than double the time to upload.

So really, I could do with a faster upstream.

Probably not ever going to get that, at least for another 10 months. Oh well.

So I've had to cancel Flickr uploads for a few hours. Might set it up for school on Monday actually, saves me all the trouble of sorting it out whilst I'm trying to use the internet also.

Sounds like a plan.

Might make cake in a mug in school next week and amaze everyone.

It could be fun.

Nope, I can't stretch this post out any longer. I'm too tired.

Which means it's Top Gear time.

Oh yeah.

It appears I did not watch Children in Need 2008.

As I fell asleep. Still, a good 15 hour sleep never did anybody any harm.

And I've got it recorded anyway, so I just need to watch it now. All seven hours and fifty minutes of it.

Yay for QI special, though.

Anyway, just got back from Staffordshire university open day. Looks quite a nice place, not too far from home either.

I wanna send my application off. =( Damn laziness of leaving personal statement too late.

Nice flapjacks, anyway.

Oh! I got one of the round highlighters that everyone ever (well, Add, Aimee and Matty) seem to have. Which is entirely awesome, in my opinion.

Another oh! Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts is here. =) Which means sexy vehicle manipulation-ness. When I've finished the first, that is. Damn Stop 'n' Swop items.

A further oh! Tesco Clubcard vouchers. Some fun ones and some not so fun ones this time, though. Last time they were all like awesome, but I'm cool with these. Specifically, I have a Clubcard Points prize draw coupon, points when I buy: dougnuts, soft drinks and biscuits, 10p off a reusable bag, and 50p off any Trident Chewing Gum multipack. Some fun ones.

A final oh! Joe Brooks UK tour dates. I hope they're close to me, as I may just go by myself if no-one else wants to go. As his music is awesomeness defined.

Fin.

oh my

Scoochscoochscoochscoochscooch.

Was amazing. Seriously.

Walking out on stage and then doing the routine that we'd been practicing for the past two months was just immense. And the ping pong bats! And the aisles! And the offering of something to suck on for landing!

Someone could have told me my mic cable was where it was though. But other than that, it was amazing. But to be honest, I don't really care about that. As it was just amazing.

Pretty good day, too. Maths in lesson one canceled for our teacher's dentist appointment. So I helped Lozza not die setting up lights, and stuck up the marvellously drawn, painted, and cut out Pudsey's on the back curtain whilst standing upon a questionable chair.

Lesson two was ICT. Yeah, no comment. Mock. That's it.

Lesson three was more Children in Need. Got mic'd up, ate, practiced, waited.

Lunch was it. Watched Kevin, the teachers performing Thriller (who were quite amazing to be honest), Sam and Andy, the upper sixth girls, from the lighting box. Very fun. Then during the penultimate act, we stood in the sidelines waiting. And there were lots of screams. Lots. Obviously they all want Mr. Coombes or Mr. Lownes. Who knows.

Then it was us. And we got clapped. We didn't even have to prompt. It was amazingness. And then in the aisles, I saw my two maths teachers from last year. That was fun. =)

And then it was YMCA. God, that's a bloody long song. Especially when you're performing with ping pong bats, have Adam Biddulph in the very middle of the seats taking photos, not sure which way round to perform the C, not knowing how to finish, and having been on stage for far too long under heavy theatre lighting. Very sweaty. Not so sexy.

Another congrats to Rachel by the way, an amazing concert you organised. =D

Lesson four was recovering from the concert. It was neccessary, to be honest. Everyone signed a Pudsey, I sent a copy of my personal statement to Mrs. Kearsey with a smiley face in it, printed off and handed in ICT coursework, and ate some cake.

Lesson five was maths. And only one hour later, I cannot remember a word of what was taught. Not a single one. I know it was about trig, but I remember more the constant playing of Hot 'n Cold as Jenny's ring tone, as she could not reach her phone to disable said ring tone. Then constant bleeps for text messages. Good times.

Children in Need later, should be good fun. Always is. =)

Yay Wrath.

I am enjoying how it most certainly wasn't opened on midnight, rather two hours or so before. That means Horde-free areas, to be honest.

Looks sexy, also. Fun areas.

However, second new game this week. And I have two more to go. =( My wallet hurts.

Lol at the currency rates.

Audiosurf, gifted to Aimee just now: £1.94

How uneven. =O

10Nov/08

That is an amazing price for an amazing game.
