Streaming TV! (currently watching Tokyo TV)
From time to time I like to enjoy watching random TV channels from around the world, mostly Japanese though, at this moment of writing this post i'm watching Tokyo TV, dunno what they are saying but they are doing a program about large fish to fry :D.
I love the internet...
What I first used was Keyhole TV, this I would suggest to avoid or use as a last resort as it is really shit in quality. But I shouldn't really complain seeing as its free.
http://www.v2p.jp/video/Viewer/
After being a bit disappointed with keyhole I found TVU player which had a better interface and a larger selection of channels, but recently some of the Japanese ones have disappeared, which is a bit annoying as they were the good ones :(
Now there is only a selection of 5 channels or so, bit limited but once again its free so i shouldn't really moan, even though I like to.....all the time.
http://www.tvunetworks.com/
Now that the best channels have gone I decided to have another look again to see if there was a better service out there and guess what.......there is! What I use now its Livestation.
Out of the free services this is by far the best, it has loads of channels, not just TV but Radio also and the quality is really good and like the other two mentioned this is also free.

So if you fancy watching some foreign TV then I suggest you visit the Livestation link and start browsing!

First off is this game where you basically have to throw this blob thing as far as you can, i know there are millions of these around but this one is actually better then the rest and more addictive.
Create momentum at the start with your mouse then lob the thing, use the space bar to release balloons to help your blobby thing along its journey if it has problems.

Next up is Oddity Central which has loads of posts about weird and interesting things, check it out i'm sure you might find something you like there.

One of the most funny-random-weird cartoon strips I've seen is the Perry Bible Fellowship, very dark humur. But not as dark as Electric Retard :/ That just enters a whole new level.

Stuff on my Cat..... basically people putting stuff on their cat.

Last but not least is Joergen Geerds photography website. His work is mainly panoramic photographs of New York shot at night, very incredible stuff.

Good Headphones at last!
I think i'm a bit of a cheap bastard when it comes to buying certain stuff. I have 2 black pairs of combat pants, one of the pair i have had since 2003. The other i forced myself into buying because the other ancient pair i had were so washed that they ended up looking more grey like bits of my head then black.
Anyway....so i finally decided to buy new headphones because the last two 4 quid headphones I had either dug into my head and ears, never fit properly or lacked the ability of produce bass and so the screaming sound from my METAL IST KRIEG would pierce my ear drums and kill parts of my brain. Why did i buy them? I think i was stupidly trying to save money, being a student is hard! You think i like just eating bread and butter as my breakfast lunch and dinner? Actualy i do but its not healhty and i might end up getting rickets or scurvy one day.
The new headphones i got this time and will keep getting from now on are KOSS Porta Pro.
Very very comfortable with amazing sound and all that bollocks. Plus they have this cool retro 80s look with the head band and you can pack them up to fit in your pocket which is handy.
Hands down these beat any head phones i have ever had in the past and i'm glad i finally decided to spend more then 4 quid.
The cost of these average at around the 20 to 25 quid mark.
My coach journeys down to Windsor and back will be more fun now that i can hear what the fucks playing on my Creative Zen. I wish i got these earlier, Its been ages since i heard bass on headphones that it sounds weird now!
On a side note i finally got Fallout 3 for my laptop, i'm happy it actually manages to run it. But seing as i have too much work to do at uni (the reason i aint posted that much on here recently) i can't really play the fucking game which is quite sad :(
Its like being given a lightsaber in real life but you can't have the batteries or power pack for it untill you know how to use the force...... DAMN IT!

Spelging?
Well I'm back.It's been a while since the last update, with fairly good reason..............I'm lazy, theres that and the fact that i couldnt think of anything to write.
Ok over the past couple of weeks a multitude of "good" games which are worth your time and money were released. A quick list of these titles comprises of Farcry 2, Fable 2, Fallout 3 and Dead Space.Now being the awesome geek I am, and working at the place I do ( and where my brother works), I own all of these games and as a side effect of being an awesome geek plus my job I've developed a very harsh opinion of the things i know and love. It seems a little elietist but inevitable, when you do something for a time your standards adjust.
Anyway I'll post my opinions on the games in the order i listed them.
Farcry:This is a very, very complete game and from the last few games ive played it makes a nice change. There are however a few gripes i have with it and both have relation to the inbetween. where you dont have a mission and are trying to get one.
Firstly EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE hates you in this game...granted it is set in a wartorn country where your hunting down an arms dealer but still.... and secondly why is it that your car, no matter which one your in is always slower than theirs?!
Ok because ive lost my train of thought and cant be botherd to write in detail about the others Farcry 8/10, Fable 6/10 nice game, broken, exactly like the first just with more elbow grease Fallout 3: 7/10 like Oblivion.....just with....Radiation. Dead Space 8/10 think Event Horizion meets The Thing styled resident evil game.
