If there’s any way to give yourself renewed interest in your own website, it’s a redesign. I think I’m just about due. Once I settle with a design and slice it up and write it, it will be the fourth time I’ve given the site an overhaul. This time round the site will focus on converging all of my social networking accounts on to one page, the blog will still be there, but things like flickr, twitter, last.fm, blip.fm will stand out more. So far I’ve done one concept layout, which I’m pretty happy with, I will try out a few different colour schemes and styles before I commit to writing up the HTML .

In other news, I’m still loving my Macbook Pro, just runs smooth as hell, and the new 4 finger exposΓ© gesture is just magic, it genuinely makes me work faster between multiple apps. When I’m not working on my pretty Macbook Pro, I’m wasting time playing all these new pretty games that have been released this month so far I’ve bought the following:

- Fallout 3: This is probably the first RPG I’ve ever really enjoyed, I love the post apocalyptic steam punk 50s theme and there’s just so much to do, I’ve run through the main story so far but there’s so much more to do, I’d say once I’ve finished messing with all these other games, this is the one I will go back to.

- Left 4 Dead: This one is just pure fun 4 player Co-op and versus mode, all you do is simply shoot zombies, and it’s great fun nuff said.

- Guitar Hero World Tour: So far I’ve just bought the standalone game using the GHIII guitars, but after trying out the drums and mic that a mate brought over, I think I’ll have to get the full kit. It’s just too much fun, and after 10 beers it would be even more fun. Hoping to give that a try this weekend in between poker games.

- Mortal Kombat VS DC Universe: One thing I always enjoyed on consoles is the 2 player fighter, so I thought I better get one. This game is great fun with a mate and you can lose 2 hours very easily with it, and the characters are great all the good oldschool MK characters, and some bitchen DC guys as well, Batman VS Sub-Zero? Hell Yeah.

So far that’s it, I still plan to get Gears of War 2, I was pondering Need For Speed Undercover but apparently it’s rather crap, and I’ll probably get COD5 at some point.

Have fun kids.

The one major issue that comes with Guitar Hero is you start to hate the songs that you struggle to get passed. I think I nearly smashed my stupid little toy guitar about 10 fucking times when trying to play through Queens of the Stoneage’s 3s & 7s on hard, it drove me mad. Now I’e got to contend with Knights of Cydonia on Hard, which I’m hoping I can get through quick enough, but I’m not keeping my hopes up, it’s a tough one.

After a long wait I’ve finally bought myself Guitar Hero III. It’s been a tough one to get before christmas, sold out pretty much everywhere. But I was in a store last night and I saw it sitting there in a 2 guitar package for AU$169, which is a damn good price for 2 guitars, so I took the plunge. I’ve only played it for a couple of hours but I’m petty stoked with it. I’ve only ever played guitar hero once before at a mates place, and I’ve been playing Frets on Fire quite a bit. I’m playing through the career mode at the moment on Medium, which is fairly easy, although I just unlocked the Japan tour series of songs and Muse’s Knights of Cydonia was the first one I failed on, much to my dismay, it’s one of my favourite songs. I’m trying to unlock all the songs nice and quick so that when my mates want to play we can choose any song, I’m looking forward to doing a multiplayer battle, which is fun during the Slash and Morello challenges. I guess the only drawback for the Wii version is, I don’t think it will ever have the downloadable content that the 360 and PS3 versions have, which would be nice and add to the longevity of the game, but ahh well, at least it has online multiplayer. The guitars are pretty cool, and a lot more solid than I was expecting, but no matter what, any adult looks pretty damn stupid with a little toy guitar, there’s no trying to look cool with it, even Slash on the advert looks like a douche.
