  New York!

  Just got back a few days ago and it was awesome. So awesome in fact I have decided to dedicate a blog post to it. Since I'm not going to bore about what I did and where I went, I'm instead going to bore with some of the stuff I ate and drank largely because I can't over here.

  

  First up was the best cereal of all time Fruit Loops. For all those who don't know there Honey Loops except they taste like sugar covered fruit. Waking up to these every morning was definately a highlight.

  

  Next up is Mountain Dew. Its basically Lemonade and the Citrus part of Citrus Coke mixed together. It was a very refreshing drink that I reccomend.

  

  Izze was definately the best drink I had over there. I had a few different flavours and Pomegranate was definately the best. Its fruit juice and fizzy water, no chemicals or nothink. Yeah there really good.

  

  And then there was Cream Soda. I was promised by an American that it was really good. I was disappointed as the drink was very meh. It had a really overpowering taste and just wasn't the refreshment I needed at that point in time.

  Unfortunately I never got a picture of Vitamin Water but that drink is really cool. Water and healthy things that taste nice, a very good idea for Americans as some of them look like they are severely lacking. To be really honest I didn't see that many fat people around New York, I guess its because you have to walk everywhere so I'm sure Vitamin Water is used to its full advantage in other states.

  So that concludes my drinking habits and stuff. I got my 18th Birthday present early because its way cheaper over there than where I live. So there:

  

  Fender Telecaster Deluxe. Its amazing.

  So yeah New York is great, I highly recommend it as a action packed holiday. Heres to rounding off my blog with a picture of me in a helicopter.

  5 Things You Don't Know About Me

  Well you might know some but here we go.

  1. My favourite game of all time is Klonoa. Don't ask, just go play it.

  2. I'm apparently good at Guitar Hero but I don't care anymore because I want Rock Band.

  3. I'm going to Bimm next year and aim to have a career in music.

  4. I'm a Marxist. Yep, my Sociology teacher said I'm one of the most Marxist students hes ever taught.

  5. I have a ridiculous obsession with The O.C. I own every season and have watched each one at least twice.

  Oh and my favourite album of all time is The Blue Album but anyone whos talked to me about Rock Band knows that.

  I (L) Rez HD

  I was excited a few months back when I heard that Rez was coming to XBLA in HD. I wasn't so much of a Rez fan but I had played it before at my cousins house years back. I remembered it as the game with the wtf vibrating brick. Now everything makes sense. If you haven't already go buy Rez now, for me its easily the best XBLA and a worthy contender of my favourite games of this generation.

  Rez is just one of those games that makes you happy you play games. Nothing beats the craziness of Area 5 for the first time. What also keeps me coming back is the music, its so cool. I'll just play it to hear some of those songs again, especially FEAR by Adam Freeland. Beyond all this Ive completed it about 7 times now not counting the countless score attack attempts. I'm trying to unlock everything and get all the achievements. Ive got a few hard ones like get all the high scores in score attack but I'm not looking forward to 95% shot down in all areas.

  A few days ago I got the play for 10 hours achievement. To me thats amazing that I can play an arcade gameI for 10 hours and not get bored. I didn't play Halo 3 for that long. Anyway, had to get that out there. Just download the demo or whatever, its an amazing experience you don't want to miss.
