Ripped Off By BOGOF

The other day in the Metro Newspaper (very good newspaper for free) there was a tiny little article which should have really been a full page spread. Titled
BOGOF? More like rip-off.
This if you haven't figured out already is about BOGOF offers. Recently it has been investigated that the BOGOF offers have been more like a RIPOFF. In the article they gave some figures in some of the 'retail giants' and Asdas were doing an offer which consisted of buy two packs of sausages for just £3 but the packs only cost £1. Know wonder why there prices are so low, because they are getting extra money from the offers (as they so call them).

Then the other offender is Tesco. Online 'Little Rachel's' Yogurts are normally £1.49 each but are offered at two for £3 - 2p more.
So it's not that people are stealing things from Shops, it beginning to become that shops are steeling from us as you can not pay for one separate each.

Advertising could need some Organising.

Earlier today Watching TV with my mum, we saw the advert Change 4 Life. You know the one where it makes you feel like crap because you are not doing any exercising and sitting down on the settee watching TV, yeah that one. Well this one was purely about being fat (so made me even worse). This was about getting healthy, fit and changing what you eat with for healthier things and also smaller portions.
Now not noticing until my mum pointed it out but what stupid idiots put an Oreo Cookies advert straight after the Change 4 Life Advert. You first feel like crap and then wanting Oreo's. As I know from many years of experience (Clearing my throat) YOU CAN NOT HAVE BOTH. If you want us to abide by something, then don't go putting on an advert on which we will stop abiding after 10 seconds.
Thats all, thank you, my rant is over.

Are you Brink Smart

Brink, the multi platform game coming in March is what I would say from the video (which is below) a multi interactive game consisting of shooting with a flow of movement. But what makes this game individual to other games coming or are out now is it SMART, Smooth Movement Across Random Terrain (It does what it says).

This SMART to me brings the aerobatic capabilities of free runners and flowing over across, over and under any obstacle in your way with a touch of one button. Watching the video and seeing what seems to be very similar to the game 'Mirrors Edge' but in reserve. Unlike 'Mirrors Edge' more running than shooting, 'Brink' works in the opposite way, more shooting than running with the added bonus of not needing to use half the amount of buttons for run in 'Mirrors Edge' but still has the good use of it.

Personally I think it is a game to get out of the masses coming out this year just to see what the game in a whole is like.
Check out the videos and see what you think.

A new Toy Story

On Saturday, I went to see Toy Story 2 3D in the cinema. A bit disappointed with the 3D but defiantly not disappointed with the film in the whole. The last time I saw Toy Story 2 most likely in 2001 when I was 7.

Well getting older everyone gets wiser and learns new things and learning these new things you can put them into content. Watching Toy Story 2 I understood a lot more than I did when I was younger and this resulted in a lot of laughter. Watching it really felt like it was a new Toy Story.

And then talking to may friends today about Toy Story, the brought up a very good point. Due to release June 18th Toy Story 3, they were afraid to go and see it because we are teenagers and not kids, my one friend said

'Most of the audience who will go and see
Toy Story 3 would be around our age as we
were brought up watching it.'

Although, even if all of the people watching the film were kids (hopefully quite), I would still go. it Toy Story, no one should turn down Toy Story.

As a treat hear is a Trailer of the new Toy Story and some of the plot. Enjoy the very sad, happy, funny and exciting Trailer of Toy Story. A very very must see in Cinema this summer.
