What, no way.

It has been a really surprising week, well so far, after a total of 2 day. But at the same time good.

1) On Monday, I had a surprising phone call saying if I want to go out shopping (without any money) and to the park (the park turned into a house). After 45 minutes shopping, We headed back as it looked like it was going to raining. We got to my friend, Emyr's house at 2:30 and played on the PS3 and the next time we looked at the time, amazingly it was 6:30. A very good day to start the week. When we went, we then said that we would should meet up for Dinner tomorrow.

2) Then today we meet up at Ty Glas as planned at Llanishen. And what an amazing meal, 10oz Gammon Steak with Chips and two Eggs. Also there is no Dinner complete in a restaurant without having a Desert. A Chocolate Cheese Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream drizzled in Hot Chocolate source. And on the odd occasion another Desert (ish). My favourite place in Cardiff was right next door and I wasn't going away where without having a STARBUCKS. As I was nearly full from dinner, I choose a Tall Carmel LIGHT Frappuccino.

3) And to finish off the day having fun, My Sister in Law invited me and my brothers over to have a Wii night. Now the Nintendo Wii isn't the best console ever but it is better than sitting at home doing nothing. And when playing it you come up with so many things which you can tell people who have one why it's Crap.

As I am on my Summer Holidays it seems like the days are going like the speed of light. I rest until 12:00 and try and do something after that, unless other things come my way. Eating my food I thought that I have had a Crap week and have done absolutely nothing. Then about 5 minutes later I realized I have done stuff all week and that it is only Tuesday Stupid.

When you get out of your weekly routine, your head goes everywhere in the week. No church or youth club signals the end of the week and not going to church, well it really seems like I am having a 14 day week.

Sadly, I have nothing else to do this week, hopefully something else will surprise me. The only thing I have to look forward to is getting the 'Green Day' Album '21st Century Break up.' IT BEST COME.

Whats Not Gaming.

I have been recently watching trailers of game consoles which have been shown at E3 in America. There are many new things which are coming to game consoles soon like:-
Project Natal on the Xbox 360
The wireless Wand for the PS3
Wii upgrade for the Wii fit
and more.

The one really annoying thing is why are some of the games consoles trying to attract families into playing. These game consoles I am taking about the XBOX 360. When they advertised the Project Natal for Xbox 360 they used families to advertise it. Also with my brother owning an Xbox which I also play on (as I only have a PSP which is good and PS2 which I don't play on), on there Market Place they have done a category named family games. WHY. I know for a fact that not many families at tall play the Xbox 360 together (with the exclusion of the Buzz Quiz games) and not many watch videos together. At this moment in time I am actually respecting the Nintendo Wii.

The Wii's target market are families creating more games for families to play and this is there aim. Although I do disagree with a sentence I read about the new game for the Wii 'Punch Out.' An old arcade game on the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) in a gaming magazine insert which said "Had it been too easy though, the game would have certainly upset the HARDCORE Nintendo gamers;" As it is a family console, there is no Hardcore gamers anywhere. But I still have respect for Nintendo.

Back to the point, the Wii tells the truth other than the Xbox 360 and not leaving out the best games console the PS3. The only thing the PS3 does is advertise it with either only one person or or a group of friends which people do play with the PS3.

The Xbox 360 advertises families playing on the Xbox, also the Xbox being down stairs which I know not many people have, they are mostly in bedrooms and the question is, why not advertise them there. Also the Xbox having a movie store, and this is something which Microsoft always advertise with families watching movies which are brought on the market place. For a couple of more pounds you can own a hard copy of it without loosing it when you get the ring of fire.

In conclusion, what I am trying to get to, if you don't understand it under all my blogging rage is that Microsoft Xbox 360 should advertise what people use the Xbox for and what type of people actually use it.

Harmless fun or Shear pain

A note to all of the people with a 'Nintendo Wii', they are so fun and yet so evil after Suffering repetitive Strain injury and almost punching my living room TV in.
Here are some tips to stop you getting into the situation I was in:

1) Don't get so Competitive over a game (but I think I am right
in saying that most people with a Wii get competitive.

2) Try and avoid playing Boxing with a family member
(friends OK as if you hit them, you won't get into half the
trouble than hitting a family member)

3) Think before playing the Wii they are really fun but
are they that fun that you would play on them for 6
hours straight a risk, no defiantly getting an injury .................. um
YEAH
