Thanksgiving Parade

"Never gonna give you up" was the last 7" pop single I ever bought, I was 13 years old and I went on to smash it into millions of pieces not that long after I bought it, I was in a musical transition from Pop to Metal!

I know its not the highest score, but i eneded up geting this score without even trying to get it.  When I have time one day, I will go for a much higher score.

Goodnews all!!

Hi all, I have been really busy lately transitioning into new chapters of my life.  One good thing though is that I got 113 takedowns in a road rage event. I remember it started as on oncoming i-88 roadrage near monroe and it took me all over, I had to survive and stopped by like maybe 4 aauto repairs. so from looping around i-88 3 times or so, then off onto nelson for a pit stop, then back on i-88, then got off near the first junkyard you start at, pitstop near soutbay, then all down southbay, and through the mountains, back on south rouse onto southbay, then left turn to the mountains, went up a bit then turned a round...whew...this score was even better than my takedown record which was 104, and was posted on youtube, still is.

I know I haven't been overly positive about having Avatars on the 360, but some people have created some really cool (and some less cool) Avatars based on gaming characters and other celebs.

Check the out HERE!

I think I might try making some of my own... if I have any success I will share them with you! 🙂

Let me start by saying I've given a lot of thought to this blog before posting and there are some key points to remember before moving on to the main point of this post.

1. I've only ever played Burnout Paradise.

 I personally think that there is no wast of money for getting the Jansen 88 Special because is freakin hovers over the ground, I'm a little bit skeptical on getting the whole set on the PS network. Could anyone shine some light on any of the other cars that will be available? 

Well on Friday my xbox needed to be exchanged as i was having problems with the disc tray, and it was making a horrible grinding noise at the same time. With the new update i couldnt load any of my discs and it drove me to the point of exchange.....anyway it wasnt until i got home and i got excited at the fact that i could play Revenge at last....then i realized that i had left one of the copies of Revenge in the console......so i called GAME and i explained what i had done...she told me that she would look and see if it was there.....well as the weekend passed with work and tihs i completely forgot to re call the shop so i was kind of red faced when i went in there this morning....i had the 'i am guilty' look written all over my face...and i hadnt done anything except not call this girl back....so the guy who seen to me was brilliant, for a monday morning he was the best assisant ive ever had the honour of, he looked everywhere for my disc and he just couldnt find it. So after 20 mins or so he appeared again and told me that he couldnt find my disc so he would give me a new copy....well i was smirking pleasantly now as the disc i had originally lost was totally used and abused....so you can imagine my awe when he came back and told me that they didnt have a copy.....in fact i was gutted......so he told me to wait for 1 minute as he might have 1 somewhere but he didnt all he had to offer me was a new copy of PARADISE.....WTF i was sooooooo mad at this as i thought he was taking the ssip out of me at first....then as he could obviously see by my face that i just wasnt impressed he tried the 'im going to sell you this game' so i smirked and i thought come on then 'sell me it'.....well after 20 mins of listening to this guy drone on about how Paradise was this and Paradise was that.....i had to rudely interrupt him, i think he was quite pleased really because he must have been boring himself....lol so in the end i asked him if i could have another game to the same value and he said 'no' so here i am stuck with a game that im never going to play.....i cant even exchange it as you only get like £10 for it......so what am i to do?.......tbh im not thinking of playing it, but i am intrigued, maybe i should give it a go, just for boredoms sake......who knows maybe i will one day......maybe i wont.....maybe ill jus let my daughter play it.....😛........i never thought id hear the day when id exchange a copy of REVENGE for PARADISE.....🤢

I have had my first proper session on Midnight Club: Los Angeles, not enough to know everything about the game, but enough to share my first impressions.

There are a few cool touches which make navigating the city and focusing on the race at hand really easy.

OK so here is a quick list of the top things that I Love about Burnout, there are more things I love, but these are the main ones:

1) Boost! Boost! Boost!

I love the boost system Burnout style! I love driving dangerously to earn boost. Weaving in and out of oncoming traffic, over bumps and jumps and drifting all the way!
