Haven't really said much on here in a while, It's not that I haven't had much to say and more that I just couldn't be bothered to say it.

 

Still having the problems with my throat and still going to ENT appointments for it. Its not going away but the effect it has on my day to day life is reducing, to be honest really its just that I'm becoming more accustomed to the problems and learning to just ignore them. Next appointment is in a few weeks see how that goes for me, Probably the same as always another type of medication and back in a month or so.

 

Course work is going well, cant really talk about it though as I'm not actually allowed to mention the assignments till after the fact. but lets just say some of the questions are downright simple.

 

Thinking of Getting a Sony EBook reader, they look good and flexible. I'd really prefer to get one of the Amazon Kindle things but they aren't for sale in the UK yet. shame, But on purchases I have gotten a few new games for the Xbox360. Managed to pickup GTA4, wish I never had. its crap, controls suck and the story is so transparent not to mention having to listen to those really bad Russian type accents the whole time. For how far I played in the game I ended up just skipping all the cut scene's so I didn't have to listen to it. Then you get to try and drive the car, With what is IMO the worst driving controls and reactions ever. Game doesn't even compare to GTA3:SA, they should've just stopped back then when the game was fun. Also picked up Lego Batman and Starwars Force Unleashed, Force unleashed is great. Amazing game and lots of fun. But its pretty short. Haven't really played Lego batman much myself, but my other half and Garion seem to love it! so its all good.

 

Looking to get hold of Tombraider and Fable 2 in the very near future along with a few others.

Meh, I hope they do find a permanent solution for the throat problem. Even if you can get used to it it doesn’t mean ya should have to. And good to know about GTA4. I was interested in it ‘cause the multiplayer option seemed like fun. Would want it for the PC though, not gonna have two 360’s in the house just so I can play with Mord XD But yeah if the controls are horrible like you say then it’s not gonna be much fun at all. Looking forward to Fable2 though. Definitely tempting to get a 360 for that. Usually I prefer keyb and mouse but oddly enough I had an easier time with the xbox controls than when I got the PC version later.
