I've now read 2 Million Posts on Gamespot. The exsact number is 2020303. A hell of a lot, considering I've only posts 10300 something. Ive also realised that By This August I would of been here for 6 Years. Thats nearly as long as Secondary Education. Time flys when your having fun right?
Chelsea Qualified for the Chamions League Semi Finals, fantastic 4.4 Draw at Stamford Bridge saw us through (we won the first leg 3.1) , to now Play Barcelona. Should be a fantastic game.
Also, Wrestling Wise, my favourite guy, Mr Kennedy should soon be back after being drafted to raw. Can't wait for that.
Still havn't rung microsoft about the xbox 360. Been playing a lot of poker atm, is filling my time up, so am not missing the console that much.

Am going to ring Microsoft on tuesday to see if they can fix it. I shant pay for it to be fixed though, if they say that i will just wait and fork out the money to get an elite. I hate the Red Ring. Evil.

Reached 10k Gamerscore today. Was left on 9950 something after completing TMNT, and then got another 60 today trying to complete Smackdown 2009. I probablly won't bother now though because its very frustrating trying to.
Also by this time tomorow should be level 42, as Im on 100% of Level 41 Now. Takes forever to level up these days.Im trying to comment on peoples blogs, but finding them is difficult, really need to clean up the friends list. But Ill try and check on whoever posts in these for now.

Watched Wrestlemania sunday Night. Total Suckout. MITB match was good, nice spots, but then CM Punk won again, which is a bit overkill. Taker vs Michaels was fantastic, and Jeff vs Matt had some nice spots. Title matches were total rubbish though.
Completed Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles game in a day as well, getting all 1000 points. Very easy, game was annoying at points, broken mechanics. But I am now only 50 Points under 10k Gamerscore. Working towards it.- Posted Apr 7, 2009 7:57 pm GMT

Finished this game 2 days ago. Fantastic story, little repetative in some parts, and the fighting is rather annoying, but excellent dialouge and story make up for it.
I recomend for anyone who hasn't played it. Anyone who has, what did you think about it?

16Jan 09Good buy, second hand for a fiver, free delivery. 3 disks as well.
I just wanted an rpg for the xbox to keep me gaming for a while, and this will do till i get some money for some new games. Its ok, its an RPG, just nothing exceptional.
The landscape is probablly the most boring of any game ever. At one point there is sand, rocks and trees. Great. And searching places gets repetative well quick. You can search almost anything. Apparently kicking a random rock will help you find 10gold. Also searching trees you will probablly find 10gold.
Also completed gears of war (original) on hardcore, by myself this time though. Is much harder then on co-op- Posted Jan 16, 2009 6:59 pm GMT

13Jan 09Finished gears 2, Loved the story. Bit of a weak end though, thought the last boss was very easy.
The after credit talk from Marcus's dad leaves the series open for gears 3 though, which Ill have to get. Its more like watching a film then a game to me now.- Posted Jan 13, 2009 8:19 pm GMT

15Oct 08Anyone who buys it for me will receive my love and admiration for at least three days.
I think the game would help me get back into gaming, my enthusiasm has been really lacking lately. I think I would be fine if someone would turn a game on for me, and then hand me a control. Then I would get into it. But if im on my own, I just don't see the point.
I think my lack of Xbox Live doesn't help. I need to cancel that tomorow. If I dont they are just going to keep charging me each month.

14Oct 08I have been getting really into hollyoaks recently. The current storyline featuring Niall (below) and his Mum Myra and the McQueen sisters, with Niall wanting revenge for being abandoned as a baby is really gripping. I am really starting to love this soap.

I hope it doesn't have the Neighbours effect. I love neighbours untill they killed off Stingray, then it moved to channel 5 and I haven't watched it since.
Got post from Google today, about my Google Adsense. Its good google Adsense, hopefully by November the advertising I have done for them on my blog will have netted me $100, for doing nothing.
Money is good

Why are they changing the name of one of the greatest chains in the world! What the hell next!
Burger Queen?
MicroHARD?
First Fantasy?
In conclusion, go to hell companies that change names of stuff I have known for my whole 18 year life. Go to Hell, and stay there. (I will continue to eat at this pasta hut place, I like pasta)

I have created a Giant Bomb account, to keep up with the community that have emigrated over there, and also it might help broaden my gaming knowledge that has been slowly decreasing over the past few years (lets blame education for that!)
On GiantBomb is am TheDavidSwain or you can just go straight to the page :
http://www.giantbomb.com/profile/TheDavidSwain/My Blog is on blogspot is getting better, heres an extract from today's blog.:
'What day does the week start on? God thinks its starts on a monday, thats why sunday is the day or rest. But Television guides believe the week starts on a Saturday. That makes no sense. How can the week START on the weekEND. Stupid people. So I'm afraid blogger and 'Whats on TV' Magazine, that God is right on this one'
Go and see this and the rest at http://www.thedavidswain.blogspot.com/
I have been posting more in the forums recently, expect this to continue and for me to contribute more.
Have a good monday peeps

4Oct 087 Card Stud Hi/Lo!
Is well fun, going to try to play more of that!
as always, shamefull plug of the blog : www.thedavidswain.blogspot.com
I'm quite proud of my blogging lately. Not only have i kept up with blogs over at blogspot, but i have posted here about 4 times in the last week. Considering i think i may have posted that amount in a year before that, it is very impressive.
Any one else a poker player?
I also enjoy good old Hold'em, 5 Card Draw, and the old Omaha.- Posted Oct 5, 2008 12:16 am GMT

and yet I can't buy it because i have no money!

I miss having a job.
In good news my blog : www.thedavidswain.blogspot.com is still going well, and thinks to adsense it has made me $15 in the last 3 days. They won't send me the money till I make $100 though. I might use the cash to buy Gears 2.
The Preview of the game looks awesome.- Posted Oct 3, 2008 2:06 pm GMT

So it's happened again, another Banking Society in the UK has collapsed. Unlike Northen Rock though, apparently this Nationalisation means that Bradford and Bingley will no longer Operate. They are being bought by a foreign company that owns the Abbey National bank. Its been happening all over though, about FOUR banks in Europe collapsed before Lunchtime in London Yesterday, and the 5th largest bank in America was also nationalised.

It never just rains it pours. Won't need that Umbrella anymore though mate.
There was a big meeting in the US, where they were deciding whether or not to bail out the banks with a multi Billion Pound bail out. They decided not to. I dont get what the point of having money is if your not gonna use it. The man said 'I wish I could eat and not get fatter, but I can't do that.' This didn't prove his point in my head, because if he is a greedy s.o.b and eats too much, thats his own greediness, this is about helping out others.
I was thinking about the Song about the women who swallowed a Fly. Why go and Swallow all them other animals after the fly. I would of waited for the fly to die, or just drunk some Coke or something, surely that would of killed the fly. Instead she just keeps eating the animals and ends up dieing. She probablly started off trying to get rid of the animals, but after eating the bird got a bit Greedy and just thought a Cat would be nice to eat as well. She died on the horse. This is why I dont like trying new food.extract taken from 'The Blog of David Swain' updated daily at www.thedavidswain.blogspot.com

Hi guys, to make up for my lack of Blogging here and commitment to everything at the moment, I have started a new Blog.
http://www.thedavidswain.blogspot.com/
Check it out, its a good blog I believe, and I am updating it everyday.
here's an extract from it:
wonder how they dealth with money in the stone age. Back then the money was made out of Stone, so would have ruined a leather wallet. I wouldn't want to carry around a stone wallet with me, it would be too heavy, and would keep digging in my side as I was walking.
The most annoying Coin
I think we have too much money now. Not too much as In that we are rich, but just too many coins. the 1p and 2p coin annoy me abit, because they arn't worth anything now aday's, and if you need change then have one or the other. The 5p is a bit annoying as well. But i suppose if you need 15p change, then you would have to have both 1 and 2, or the 5 and either 1 or 2. The world would be simpler if we didn't use stupid ammounts of money. Things that are 99p annoy me abit, because it just means I have to be carrying a penny around with my for the rest of the day. '
If while your there you want to click on the adverts, earn me some money...you can if you like you know...
IF your there, leave me the link to your blog, or just Gamespot username, and I'll come post in your blogs. Its a two way relationship baby
