New house, new semester, new games

Hello there, long time no...see?

It's been about two months since i last blogged and since then a lot has happened. I've moved house TWICE, started my final year of Uni and bought some awesome things off eBay.

This semester is about 2 and a half weeks old and already i'm being told about the mountains of work i'm due to complete by the end of March. Frankly, it's a little unsettling but this is Uni, you're supposed to be bettering yourself - both socially and academically - so i guess that was to be expected.

I've moved from my rather cramped room in a house of strangers, to a bigger house (bigger room etc) with mates. It's cool, what with Sky + now installed and the games consoles set up, it's very laid back...perhaps a little too laid back to be honest.

Games wise, i'm preparing for FIFA 09 on Friday and in the meantime have purchased two games from the Xbox Live Arcade; Braid (supposedly excellent) and Duke Nukem 3D (how can anyone not know this game?) Have been playing Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway, which whilst incredibly flimsy controls wise, sets a good scene and i feel i will grow to love the story.

I bought some Beavis and Butthead memorabilia on eBay. A cool Cornholio figure and a bobblehead of Cornholio. Both were very hard to get so i'm very pleased with the purchases, which stand proudly atop my display bookcase.
