Jersey Shore finally ending at long last!

That's right, it's all over the news and t'internet. The show that should never have lasted this long is coming to a close, I found the show to be pointless and useless. 

With no true thought ever placed into the show, with the annoying idiots who starred in it.... every time I saw it advertised anywhere I wanted to walk into traffic.


It's always a large amusement for me, to try and work out why something as shite as Jersey Shore lasted this long when shows with better stories, better everything were cancelled straight in the middle of season 1... like oh I don't know.... Firefly.



So this is a meme page today, enjoy it.




But now I give you my new fave meme...

So this is to you MTV & Jersey Shore, a nice big FUCK you (-:

P.S. Firefly will live on, Jersey Shore WILL be forgotten quick.

Star Wars: KOTOR. The bundle pack of the year... NEED IT!

So for years, I've been a fan of KOTOR (Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) and when I upgraded to Windows 7 I could no longer play either game properly.

The reasons are as follows;
Windows 7 hated KOTOR
Windows 7 spat on KOTOR
Windows 7 laughed at KOTOR

However, now... Lucasarts, with their "lets milk star wars franchise for every penny we can get over and over again cause every star wars fan is a sucker" way of thinking has actually... not pissed me off but made my day.


They have released the double pack, officially called Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Collection. This lovely thing is going to be mine, it contains both games with the last patches they made for them already installed. But this is where it gets better.

They are now on DVD ROMS, instead of 5 CD ROMS *CLAPS!!!!*
They both now work fully on Windows 7 *CLAPS!!!!* YAY!!!!

Many people have already complained however, because they are not "HD Revamps" or "not in higher resolutions!!!!"



Myself however, I don't care about those. I know Lucasarts, they won't give you fully what you want until the 30th released version of it (*cough* SAGA BOXSET *cough*).

My only gripe is, this is so far... only available in the US. Apparently it's "screw the rest of the world day" in their minds.

That's okay, I'll just buy it from the US. I don't mind.

On that note, payday needs to HURRY THE HELL UP!

Then off I go to download all those lovely add-ons by fans, fixes by fans, extra content by fans, and of course... RESTORED KOTOR II content.

Ta for reading :-)

Why I refuse to upgrade to a new smartphone

I've had the HTC Desire HD for over 18 months now, and I am able to fully upgrade to a new phone. "Why haven't you got the SIII or iPhone yet????"

Why else? Because there are so many phones to come out soon, new Android phones by HTC and who knows who else. Not to mention there is that little thing soon to be released, you know it... Windows Phone 8. 




I decided long ago that I would wait, just see what comes out and now the big three are releasing WP8 smartphones shortly.

Nokia
HTC
Samsung



All 3 companies have a track record of releasing some amazing technology, and 2 of them back my fave OS (Android). However the more I look at the WP8 system the more I'm curious, the fact I can merge it with my Xbox 360 is just a bonus.

So my advice to anyone who is about to upgrade, wait and hold your horses already. Just keep your current phone, if your contract is over.... get a pay as you go sim card or downgrade to a cheap 30 day rolling contract.

"Wait, why didn't you mention the new iPhone soon to come out?????"

Simple, I don't like Apple.... sorry.

Playing through all Mass Effect Games, but miss the lightsabre action.

I always find that I like to task myself with my games, always playing the most fun (and sometimes not) games can take a lot of time that many feel you should focus on things in life. The thing is, those "people" are at home, on their sofa watching drama's like Coronation Street and Eastenders... or worse Jersey Shore *vomits*.

That's why I prefer gaming, you're involved in a rich story and great characters.... hell tbh I mainly play so I can blow things up, who doesn't right?

Anyway, back to tasks.... I decided I should run through all 3 Mass Effect games again recently, even though many hated the end of MS3... personally I didn't mind. Suuuuure I wanted to know what happened to everyone, but I didn't bitch about it ;-).


The reason why I wanted to re-run the games, was because I never actually did the renegade part of it all... so here I am.... feeling like an evil B**tard... I always felt bad playing the bad guy, ever since KOTOR when I set a trap for the republic >.<


So this is my problem, I reeeeeeeeeally want to finish MS3 (which I just recently made it back on to) as a bad guy, but I also miss playing SWTOR (Star Wars: The Old Republic). Yes, I play this game and I enjoy it ;-). However I find I can't play both, I tend to lose track of time.

So here I am, like 30% through MS3, missing SWTOR like a junkie missing his next buzz... and the new DLC comes out with a new mission, weapons and character.... GAHHHHHH now I need that too so I can fully enjoy the damn game >.< 


EA/Bioware are evil, in the way similar to Coke Cola releasing Cherry Coke all those years ago ;-)
