Bare with me, this is going to be a post containing lots of things.

Rambling bit No1.

My A-Level results were better than I thought they'd be, but not as good as my sixth form wanted them to be. So, I'm getting a Job. Maybe at Game.

I could go into why I don't want to redo sixth form or why I don't want to do a BTEC.

But it would just bore the hell out of everyone and this isn't the place to do that.

Suffice to say I'm fucking annoyed.

Microsoft have announced that they are going to cut the U.S price of the 360  to $200 (£112).

This comes after a similar cut in Japan.
Now, obviously being european you would expect them to do a price cut over here too, wouldn't you?
No. No price cut planned. Sure there was the one in March but it's still alot more expensive than the U.S or Japanise version.
I'm not pissed off that much mainly because i've already got one, and because atleast were not in Australia.
But as Yahtzee says, he thinks of it as a "good beach tax" (Great game by the way)

Also i'm not that pissed off because I wouldn't expect anything else from Microsoft. Any game company come to think of it.

There's case after case of us getting royally screwed while America and Japan don't.
And don't think it will end soon.
The next big dashboard update for the 360 brings community games and streaming movies. Only for the american audience though.

It's bad enough that the Wii has brought casual gaming to everyone.
And that the Blu-Ray won the format wars.

But to have every other sort of media getting on gamers' arse's about "Violent Games" whilst giving rave reviews about the newest horro movie which is just as bad as any game. Is just downright annoying.
It seems like every week there's a new story about some teen mother buying her "Gentle and kind" son GTA or Manhunt or something, when it clearly says on the box the age needed to play the game.
Just how stupid are these people when they think that the nubers on the box mean, and I quote, "The difficulty rating of the game".
Sorry? What?
Just what do these people think they're buying with the title of GTA or Manhunt anyway.
"Laugh as the lovable Niko goes round the bright city of Liberty City, helping old grannies cross the road e.t.c e.t.c"
NO, It's pretty obvious that from the name "Grand Theft Auto" it's not going to be the kind of game you would want your kid to play.

Rambling bit No3.

Wheelies.

You know the things. Trainers, with wheels. If kids weren't hyperactive enough as it is to give them wheels is just insane.

The BBC says that "Broadband will skip a generation. As in the places which still use dial-up should be the first to get fibre optic. Just read that last bit again. Who came up with this stupid idea?
