Who?

I didn't watch anything today, no films or TV programmes - so I guess my only option is to talk about YouTube. Today I watched a lot of videos of The Who on YouTube, more specifically Baba O'Riley being played Live. Its funny watching it Live in '75 then Live in '99 and seeing the band change. Daltroy takes a trip to the sheep shearers and Townsend just goes bald. After watching these videos it made me want to see Quadrophenia again - maybe i'll buy it considering its only £5.

I played on Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City today. For those of you who don't know what this is, its basically the Add-on content for GTA IV on a disc. First things first, The Ballad of Gay Tony is a lot better than The Lost and Damned due to a) the graphics feeling more polished, b) the selection of new cars and guns, and c) the storyline is just awesome. In my opinion, they should have just made the story of GTA IV that of The Ballad of Gay Tony and extended it a bit. Anyway, its a good game - go play it.

Last of all, I went rowing tonight - well I didn't actually row but did some indoor training instead. As usual I didn't work out as much as I should have although I still feel tired now.

That's all peeps, go listen to Baba O'Riley by The Who. You won't regret it.

Have I Got News For You?

Today I was struggling for Gaming ideas, so I decided to whip out my PS2 and LightGun controller for some Time Crisis 2 action. I can certainly say i've lost my touch - nearly - as I only got to Area 2 Stage 3 - the last stage. Playing this game brought back memories of the day I could actually beat this game in around 45 minutes. After this I decided to check out the Playstation Store - as it updates every Thursday - and I stumbled across a demo for Lara Croft and The Guardian of Light. After beating this demo with top score, it made up for my previous failure. This PlaystationNetwork/XboxLive-only game feels like a good addition to the Lara Croft series and I may even buy the full game - basically I won't.

Bad news i'm afraid, I didn't actually watch a film or even any TV today however, I did watch my favourite online show: Inside Gaming. Created and hosted by Machinima's TheDeadPixel, Inside Gaming is a show which tells you about all things Gaming going on that week - basically its my way of keeping in the loop. As I feel guilty about not watching a film today, I shall try and watch one of my blu-rays tomorrow followed by my thoughts in tomorrows blog. :)

Today's Stuff section is better than ever as I made the local newspaper! After myself and my team's effort at the Durham Primary Rowing Regatta, we rowed to win our first race last Saturday. My friend, RobinJamesK wrote an article and sent it to my local newspaper: The News Guardian, along with a picture, which made the back sports cover.

That's it for today, why not go watch Inside Gaming? :)
