The funniest double kill in Halo 2 EVER!
Just watch...and laugh! I doubt this could be repeated on purpose, lol!



Super Mario Bros Frustration Parts 1, 2 and 3
Around 23 minutes for all 3, but worth it. A really messed up version of Super Mario being played by a very funny guy! I don't know who he is but if he ever reads this...I salute your sir! =)

WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE IS USED THROUGHOUT THESE 3 VIDEOS!!!




I decided to post these after this forum thread over at 360gl. For anyone who's reading this and not a member, why not? It's such an awesome 360 community site! If you want more details, just ask me or check it out for yourself.

Got your own thoughts on this game, comment me up! =)

Call of Duty 4 Reveal Trailer....awesome!

Hey

So when browsing the Xbox Live Marketplace today I noticed that there was a Call of Duty 4 trailer for download. I thought well lets try it, another WW2 shooter won't do me any harm. Boy was I wrong, but in a good way! =)
It's basically Call of Duty (which I love) set nowadays...I think! No longer is it WW2 but we get a modern war game under the amazing Call of Duty series! Enough talk, check out the video here.

Note: You may have to register to see this, sorry! =( If this is the case, and anyone knows where you can see it without registering, let me know!

Till next post,

Rumor: Metal Gear Solid 4 On 360, 6 months to a year after PS3?

Ok, posting from Digg now...I'm quite excited about this though! =)

"In the latest EGM LIVE, Shane Bettenhausen one of the EGM editors who last week was on the Kojima podcast talks more in-depth on MGS4. How it will prob be coming in March, and more or less confirms there is a deal in place that MGS4 will come to the 360. It will be announced after the PS3 version is out and odds are it may come out 6-months later."

Blogger or Digg screwing with my blog??

I noticed, since I put the digg links in that they seemed to be working fine, that was, while I was logged into blogger. I visited my blog today while not logged in and the first post, instead of being the digg button, was Major Nelson's feed gadget from the sidebar, and on the post below it was my Google Adsense gadget!?! Every post below those seemed fine but I don't understand how it happened! If you do notice anything strange, then please comment and let me know, as I can't tell if this is just on my browser on my machine, or is everyone seeing it this strange?

I knew there'd be a downside to widgetizing (I really like that word, lol!)

Digg now featured! =) (Do you 'Digg' the new features, lol!)

Firstly, sorry for that terrible joke! =(

Ok, so now I've got Digg integrated with the blog, feel free to digg away at some posts. Digg seems like a really good idea, and if you start to notice some 'unusual' posts appearing it's because I've been able to setup Digg to blog (here) about diggs that I find interesting and want to appear on my blog. It's a pretty cool setup to be honest! =)

Anyway, hope you enjoy it as much as I'm about to enjoy my Chicken Kiev, lol!

First there was twitter, then a poll...now digg!

Hey.

Ok, so I've been playing around with the whole 'Net 2.0' thing for a while and have decided to just widget-ize my blog, lol! I tried to sign up for digg today and when I tried 'SoupyC' as a username it was taken! Grrr!! So I ended up going for my old usual username, 'SoupyC87' as it was available. So over the next while you might see some random posts, or other wee 'digg' features appearing over my blog as I work out how to do it.

In other news...it's my birthday tomorrow! Yayy! =) I'm 20 on the 22nd and it's a shame I'll no longer be a teenager *sniffle* lol! But who's to stop me acting like one ;) And with that in mind I decided to email my favourite night spot in Belfast, The Box to see if they'd let me get on the guest list. Well, being as nice as they are, they're letting me, and friends, on the guest list, but also, free into the VIP section! Should be fun this Thursday night!

Ok, enough of that...in other other news, I've decided today that I'm gonna try and develop SOMETHING for the 360voice API, just so I can get the badge, lol! I think it'll be a good experience for me at the same time as earning something that I can be (remotely) proud of, lol!

As a last note, before I go play some Halo 3 beta (friggin awesome!!!!!) and maybe some Test Drive Unlimited, thanks to all who voted in my poll in the last post. I was pleased with it and have decided to possibly integrate a weekly, or monthly, poll into the sidebar of the blog, so that I can get a bit more functionality here. (It's the widgetization craze that's got me hooked, lol!) I'll post about the poll, and then update the sidebar to feature it. This means that each poll should be able to be kept in history (forever in theory) but only the latest poll displayed in the sidebar. I think it's a good idea, but as always, if you have your own opinion on anything, comment! =)

Till next post,

Which is easier? (POLL)

I thought this would be quite interesting to see after I have been talking about this with some people, and even talked, to some extent, about it to my girlfriend. Obviously, this won't affect MY actions, but I just want to see what others think. Feel free to comment below, maybe on why you chose what you did?

Soupy

EDIT: Maybe I shouldn't have used the word easier. As some have pointed out, of course it's easier to be single...no nagging, hassle, etc. Maybe the question should've been, what's easier to attain and also the most BENEFICIAL. My point is, is it easier to try and get your girl to game, or are you better to get another girl who likes to game...or is it better to just game alone without and not have a girlfriend.

Hope that clears it up a bit better =)

Crackdown DLC =) (Again but more exciting!)

OK, so the Crackdown DLC was released the day after teamxbox had their exclusive preview! I got it as soon as I could and it's totally awesome! All I expected and more! lol!

The good thing about being in the UK is that we seem to get marketplace stuff a few hours before everyone else so when I was playing I done a few of the new races. Was awesome being number 2 on the world leaderboard, I almost took a picture, lol! I'm sure it won't last long though =(

I'm worried as I've heard reports that some people have had their game reset due to the new update. I'm hoping it doesn't happen to me!

I got one of the new achievements earlier. It involved harpooning 5 gang members to one car...was very funny! But then I got in the car and when I drove they were attached. Looked great! ;) But when I got the achievement, I saw the new achievement unlocked popup, along with achievement name and gamerscore value. It's so handy!

Anyway, gonna get some lunch then maybe play a bit more Crackdown! =)

Crackdown DLC =)

Just a quick post today about this link. Yes, that's right, the Crackdown DLC has been put on show for an exclusive at teamXbox.com. Now I don't know about you, but I LOVE Crackdown. And this is big news for me, who's been waiting quite impatiently for this. Not only are we getting the final 100G's (Woot!) but also an extra 250 if you're willing to shell out for them. Though I will say this, I would shell out for the premium content, with or without the extra achievements. You'll know what I mean if you checked out that link but seriously, it looks awesome!

Anyway, was just a quick update, now back to work! =(

Weather (pun intended) to choose 360 or outdoors

Well I thought it's about time I actually made another post. Though, I'm not sure what to write about! I'm sure if I just continue to type, it'll come to me, lol! Today is May Day, a lovely bank holiday in which the Belfast Marathon takes place. I took part in it last year, but not the full marathon, just the fun run. And to make it more fun, I dressed as Big Bird, lol! I even got on the news because of it...though I won't let you know where that video is! ;) This year, I'm not taking part and instead have decided to relax today, as everything else just seems to be so busy, I think I need a day off.

This week's been kinda mad! I've been out in town 3 nights and each one has been a mad one. As well as pulling an all nighter this week, and being out in the sun A LOT. It's very rarely we get the sun in Northern Ireland so I decided to make the most of it. They said that last week was the hottest week for this time of year in 300 years! I didn't even know they recorded the temperature 300 years ago, and when I questioned that they said that they started recording the temperature in Northern Ireland 300 years ago so they can't tell if it's been hotter before that! Anyway, it sure felt hot to me. I even got a little burnt, but luckily when i burn, it goes to tan shortly after! =) All this sun and madness of this week has got me thinking of Magalluf. I can't wait to go now...only 6 weeks and 2 days to go! Should be really good fun, me and 8 other guys in the sun! Even that sounds slightly homosexual, it's not...at all! =)

Also, due to all the nice weather and the enjoyment I was getting out of it, this happened! =( Yes that's right...after 50 consecutive days of playing my 360, I forgot to play one day and my streak has gone. As you can see from the comment on that page, I was rather annoyed =( That's the thing though. I shouldn't be annoyed at losing a 50 day streak of playing, I should be annoyed that I had a 50 day streak in the first place! lol! Now, don't get me wrong...I love my 360! But ever since joining 360Voice I have been over-playing my 360, just so that it can write about me, I can get badges, I can have an awesome streak...it's a little sad, but I like it! =) Plus, there's a great community of people there and if I'd never joined 360Voice, I never would've joined 360gl. I know I maybe don't participate there as much as I'd like to, but that community is truly awesome! There are some great people there and I really look forward to the Halo 3 Beta nights they're preparing. If you wanna check out the people that run 360gl, they are Mr and Mrs Achievement. Their links are in the section to the right (that I added today) but they are truly the kind of people that make the community of 360 owners FAR supperior to that of the Playstation 3. I used to think the people who hated the original Xbox's and then the 360's, and wouldn't leave their precious Playstation, were just Sony fanboys...now I'm proud to call myself an Xbox fanboy...and wouldn't change to the dark side for anything in the world (except maybe MGS4...but my optimism is still hoping for a 360 release, lol! Don't let me down Hideo!)

As I come to the end of my post, I should keep you up-to-date on a few things. My car is STILL in for repairs...apparently this part is harder to find than a leprechaun! Which reminds me of a funny story I heard this week...maybe you'll hear it one day, lol! In other news, I've been doing a lot of java for a uni project due in on Wednesday. Gonna finish it up this afternoon/evening hopefully! Also, me and a friend are looking for a house for next year. Hopefully, a nice two bedroom close to where we are now. Going to view a few on Tuesday so hopefully that will turn out well. And finally, the weather that has been oh so good has let me down as I hear the rain hitting my window! =( Oh well, at least I had no official plans to go outside, lol!

Till next time,
Soupy
