Well I have been putting in a lot on long hours at “The Office” lately and I have almost finished “The Godfather” game on XBOX.
This game is one of the best games I have ever played, it’s like a mafia GTA
Matt and I started playing it last year, I was playing on PC and he was playing on XBOX, it’s been about 7-8 months now and we are finally back into it. Matt’s mate Doug is also playing at home on PS2….so it’s a race to see who will finish first. {I think I might have an unfair advantage though, not working and all}
EA have also released this game on XBOX360, Wii and now PS3 with a heap of new features and game play options….I watched a video of the Wii version and I think I’ll give it a burl once I finish the XBOX version, however I really really want to get it on XBOX360 so I will be ready for GTA: IV in October.
As a couple of my friends know I have been trialing ‘WHS’ the last few weeks as I built myself a NAS box about a month or so ago, I attempted a couple of the complete Linux based NAS software packages but they didn’t support my RAID card so they were out.
In my frustration I ended up installing Windows XP and just running file shares but the system was really limited and really wasn’t what I was planning….mind you XP without all the user installed software is as solid as a rock….100% up time.
Then I read an article about ‘Windows Home Sever’ moving to RC1, and it was time to check it out.
Almost got pulled over by one of these last night!
…On my way home from seeing ‘Blades Of Glory’ last night I overtook a sporty new Toyota Aurion and as I pulled away it’s dash lit up with blue and red, I thought I was done for.
I was only doing about 6 or 7 Km’s over the limit so I quickly pulled back to 60 and sat on it….they didn’t flash again or hit the siren so I just kept driving….they followed me for about 5mins but then turned off. I was freakying lucky!
Anyhow I was just surprised they the COPS now have these cool new cars….I’m quite impressed as I a absolutely hate the commonwhores they usually drive.
Tonight Justy, Matt and I got to see the special advanced media screening of “Transformers” at the South Bank Cinemas.
All I can say is it’s fucking insane!
…..so much better then I thought it was going to be, and I was really looking forward to it too!
The effects are fantastic….so realistic, makes you really think it’s possible for the transformations to happen.
The storyline and dialogue is also great and doesn’t fall aside like in some of the other ‘blockbusters’ that have come out recently. A fair amount of unexpected comedy is also in the film
Monday was pretty good, I woke up late, watched some TV then headed out to…..KMart
I found cheap ski gloves for $9.95 each so I bought Matt a pair as well, then I tried to get some ‘Ugg Boots’ but they had sold out! So I went to KMart at Wynnum and they had also completely ‘sold out’…which I shouldn’t be surprised about due to the enormous bogan levels in Wynnum.
I also found a cool 288 sleeve CD wallet which I bought so all the spindles of DVDs lying around had a home.
Tuesday I was up at freaking 6am {still dark!}, we had to be up early to drive to Milton and then to Ipswich to watch Matt’s brother play Rugby, he is down for the week on a school comp. It was pretty good to watch but it rained non stop and I only had a jumper on…nothing waterproof
Today I pushed my sleep-in for this holiday to 2pm because of the early start yesterday!
I messed about on the computer a little and then resumed my game of “The Godfather” on XBOX….I ducked out to get some sushi quickly but the whole day consisted of Sleeping and XBOX.
