The chronicles of riddel
I am the owner of an xbox 360 and the chances are if I’m not playing it I’m talking about it.
I have been a game junky ever since I got my mega drive aged 10 and while my friends also like gaming they are not as passionate about it as me, which has, over the years, left me unable to get people to play me... until now.
Xbox live is the answer to my gamming prayers but that’s because I got lucky. you see live is a wonderful thing IF you can fined good people to play with and sadly that can be a big if. But like I said I got lucky, as one day when I was looking on xbox.com I read about something called ‘Frag doll Friday’ where you could get the chance to play the Frag dolls ‘butt who are they’ I asked my self, so on to there site I went and my life got better because not only are the fragdolls them self grate people and vary good gamers (especially if you play voodoo at a FPS) but so are the people that gather on there forum.
So if like me you want to play other people for fun instead of winning at all costs I really do recommend you go to www.fragdolls.com and check it out as you will almost certainly improve your enjoyment of online play and make new friends. I know I did, so much so I’m even going to meet some of then in a few weeks on a trip to Alton towers.
Happy gamming and if you bump in to someone with the tag riddel don’t forget to say hi as you will be talking to me.
Popcorn Day
Well its Saturday and I have nothing to do, except maybe have a shave as my attempt at stylish stubble is well on its way to Alex gunnies territory and if I’m up to it I may get my hair cut, but other than that nothing and as far as I’m concerned that is a vary good thing.
You see because of my job I only get one weekend off in two, and While that means I get time off during the week its just not the same. So when I do have a weekend to spend doing nothing I make shore to do as much nothing as possible.
I was going to end this blog there but I think that I may need to explain my last statement. When I say I’m going to do nothing I don’t mean it in the absolute, as in not doing any thing, because that can be really boring. I mean ‘popcorn activities’, you know, you go to the cinema and get popcorn, you eat it, you like it but it doesn’t fill you up and you forget it the moment your done. what i mean is activities that only have one job, to enable you to put your brain on auto pilot so the rest of you can just sit back and put its feet up.
I Need A Hero
Well nothing much happened to me today which gave my mind time to wonder, and when my mined wonders I sometimes cant find it agene for days.
In this case I was thinking about heroes and more to the point where have they all gone, because we don’t really have any proper heroes any more.
I know lots of people will say there are heroes like firemen or the army, and while they are heroes in a vary real sense, I don’t mean ‘real’ heroes I mean ‘proper’ heroes TV heroes
All the heroes you see on TV now are flawed, they make mistakes. In other words they are human. But I for one think we need the 80’s heroes back.
The type of hero that will get in to a high speed chase, jump a broken bridge and have a fist fight whist maintaining his perm.
The type of hero that can flip cars and blow up barrels sending bad guys flying thru the air with out actually hurting any one.
The type of hero that can stop a nuclear meltdown with a bar of chocolate, or brake out of a cell using a paper clip and a bendy straw.
So bring back the A teem, night rider and MacGyver. Just leave the mullets behind
Are we alone in the universe… God I hope not
Ok this is a bit of an odd one for my first real blog as it takes its time to get to the point but here goes any way
I found a site a while back that had some tests i found funny, so I signed up and filed in a profile. so far all is well. But then the badness happened.
You see the first thing I put in the “about you” bit on profiles is that I have bad spelling because I’m dyslexic. So one day I’m looking at my inbox and some one has posted a message reading “are sure you really English ‘cos your spelling is terrible”
now my problem is not what you may think, its not so much that he is picking on my weakness or that I see him as making fun of me, it is in fact the pure stupidity of the question
“are you sure your English” hum... I think so, but I better check my passport just in case…. whoops your right. It turns out I’m really from the artic circle.
time to get to the point i think. You see I have no problem with most stupid questions I, after all, have asked more than my fear shear but something about this one and the circumstances really made me hope that there was intelligent life among the stars because, and lets face it, there is not much of it hare on earth.
and so it begins
Hi ladies and gents. In the writings that follow you will learn a bit about me and how my mind works, just not in the biological sense. I will fill this page with thing you never needed to know like what I do on a daily bases and just what does the ozone smell of*. So sit back read on and, hopefully, enjoy.
DISCLAMER: all views and opinions contained within are that of a stark raving loony and should be treated as such*daffodils apparently
