Fun, Fun, Fun,

I find it kinda weird now that my exams are over. I have nothing to do. I can't remember before my exams started. Now I think about it I guess I just played Video Games. Speaking of which. E3, one of the biggest game events of the year is over. And Microsoft has revealed it's secret weapon. They talked about Kinect (Previously named Natal) and it's features and showed one of the new games called Kinectimals. Cutest. Game. Evar! But no, Kinect wasn't the best thing there. It was just a cover-up, a pretty awesome cover-up, but a cover-up none the less. What really blew my mind? The new Xbox 360. I have no-dea how Microsoft kept it secret for so long, but there is a new one. And it's releasing in America this week. It looks amazing. And has even better features. It's smaller, quieter, has a whopping 250GB of storage and built in WiFi. The WiFi in it is apparently the best there is out there at the moment so Microsoft have kinda blown my mind. I want this as soon as it comes out in Britain. I mean, this looks fantastic.

Today, I was thoroughly entertained in school. First of all was a Highland Youth Big Band show in the Theatre which was amazing and i am now really looking forward to playing in it. Then we went to Millburn for a talk on NASA and Astronauts from an actual Astronaut.  Well cool. Space is now possibly one of my future careers...

Yikes.

Well today so far has been boring. I've done diddly squat. I would practice Saxophone for my exam on Monday (Just as I was typing this the sudden realisation that I have my Grade 5 exam on Monday hit me and I was paralyzed for a few seconds) but my dad is sleeping, well he was anyway. I've been playing Oblivion. I love that game. I love all sandbox games, where you can do what you want and you don't have to follow the story line. This is the reason why I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so excited for Crackdown 2. I loved the first one and the second looks even better. It seems like a mixture of an enhanced Crackdown 1 and of Left For Dead. I think. Another thing I cannot wait for is Project Natal for the Xbox 360. Looks awesome. For anyone who doesn't know what it is, I shall copy and paste from Wikipedia:

It enables users to control and interact with the Xbox 360 without the need to touch a game controller through a natural user interface using gestures, spoken commands or presented objects and images. The project is aimed at broadening the Xbox 360's audience beyond its typical gamer base.

Awesome!!!!

I have maths homework... But I don't know how to work it out. Maybe I should go do that now......... Or I could look at funny pictures.. Yaaay Procrastination!

Cereal Killer.

Well... It's only half way through the day and I now know that I should go to sleep earlier. I got up at 9.45, went down to the Kitchen, put my cereal in the bowl, poured milk into it, got my eating utensils and sat down to watch TV... At this point, Mum notices my fatal error. I had got myself a knife and fork, not a spoon. Now I'm not sure any of you know how hard it is to eat Coco Pops with a knife and fork, but I can tell you that it is very difficult. I then went up to play Halo 3 online but it seems so... so... much worse than what it used to be before I played Reach. I mean I kept hitting the wrong buttons, the weapons seems wrong, and worse I was Lagging because of a Power-Cut we just had. So of course instead of blaming myself for my useless-ness, I blamed: The Controller, The Wifi, The enemy team, My team, America, My Coco-Pops, Microsoft, My Xbox and pretty much everything but myself. As any gamer would.

(This'll be me when I'm older)

Amen to that, brother.

So in a Ying and Yang balance to yesterdays Evolution rant, I'm going to rant about Religion. Not your everyday faithful person, but your extremists.... The people who give other religious people a bad name. I mean who, when I say Muslim, doesn't think of terrorists or bombs? Or when I say Christian, doesn't think of people getting exorcised on street corners? Or if I said Jews, doesn't think Greedy Tax-Collectors? These people give us a bad name. We are not all like them. We're just ordinary people living out our religious little lives. And no offence to the extremists. I'm extremely glad that your so proud about your faith. But could you tone it down slightly? I mean, I think the world can do without mobs of screaming religious protesters for one day, don't you think?

Off the topic of ranting now, and onto something quite different. Today's episode of the One Show. Amy Pond was on it! Well, not Amy Pond, the person who plays Amy Pond who is Karen Gillian. Just so everyone knows, Amy Pond is my favourite Doctor Who assistant.... Of all time. Evar! They also showed a clip of tomorrows episode, so I am totally hyped for that.... Well, I'm now going for a bit of Halo ODST and Rainbow 6: Las Vegas.... Fun times!
