For the past few days I haven't been blogging thanks to a Game Engine called Steam. This is an immensly popular program and now comes standard for the majority of games for a PC. The program itself is very good but there is a few slight problems with it....
1.You cannot change which hard drive it installs to so you have to move all of steam AND the games which is very time consuming.
2.One you have got a game it absolutely has to run on steam it cannot just run off the computer like ordinary games.
However Steam has also got many advantages to it for example:
1.Once you have installed a game the disk is no-longer needed
2.Steam also allows massive online gameplay for lots of games.
3. You can purchase games (at a high cost) and download them directly
4.You can make a profile to see and even join in the games your friends are playing
5.Should a download be taking too long you can still shut down the computer and it will continue when you log in to Steam
Though it is an expensive online shop and has installation drawbacks, once you have your games, Steam's massively convienient game library, online capabilities and easily accessed games will make gaming an even easier and simpler experience for those of us that want to be playing quickly and to a high standard.
Bravo Steam!

Porcupine Tree
Before I talk about the group itself i would like to start with the Porcupine Tree Discography:
On The Sunday of Life-1991
Up The Downstair- 1993
The Sky Moves Sideways-1995
Signify-1996
Cova Divine-1997
Metanoia-1998
Stupid Dream-1999
Voyage 34:The Complete Trip-2000
Lightbulb Sun-2000
Recordings-2001
Stars Die : The Delerium Years 1991-1997 2002
In Absentia-2002
Warszawa-2004
Deadwing-2005
Fear of a Blank Planet-2007
The Incident-2009
As you can see they are a long standing band with a large number of albums. Although they cannot be regarded as a massive success story because 99% of the people i know have never heard of them.
Still just because they aren't well known doesn't mean they aren't great they have a loyal fan base and have made some of the best Progressive Rock songs i've heard in my life they are true prog rock and they deserve every credit for how they've pushed the boundries of music.

Sonata Arctica and Opeth
A few months ago i was browsing metal music on YouTube and i was extremely fortunate because i discovered two bands that have become particular favorites of mine these bands are called Sonata Arctica and Opeth. Since the discovery of these bands i have been listening to them no stop and although Sonata Arctica is my favorite of the two i belive these bands to be some of the best i have ever heard.
I am a huge metal fan listening to things like Slipknot, Nightwish, Dragonforce, Atreyu, Mastodon etc and although all of these bands and more are absolutly amazing Sonata Arctica and Opeth took my love of metal to a whole new level.
Opeth is a progressive metal band who's Albums are all to the same high standard and Sonata Arctica's massive Guitar and Keyboard solos never fail to impress me are bands i would recommend to anyone with any taste in music!
Enjoy listening and buy the albums!
p.s i do reviews but i'm not paid to, these are simply things i want to talk about

The Internet is for Porn
The internet is for porn! The internet is for porn! Me up all night hugging me horn! To porn porn porn!
Actually no the internet is how i survive its where i talk to my friends do this blog ect. My parents have discovered that (because the wireless adapter is in their room while were away from home) a light goes on when someone connects to the adapter, this is a problem because i'm the only one using the internet and they know when i'm on (in the middle of the night) My dad says that i'm on far too late and i tell him "all the people i talk to go on at night so how else can i talk to them?" and he's threatening to take the laptop away!
On the subject of the internet go on to youtube and look up "Spongebob Squarepants Edited" you get loads of spoofs and some of them are rather good just so you know.
and here is an unhelpful link http://www.facebook.com/ Enjoy!

Buses, Wales and Castles
My family dragged me on a trip around Shropshire today. We visited lots of places and did lots of stuff including visiting a pub and eating excessive amounts.
We spent lots of time in the town of Ludlow, nice enough place but the roads were packed! Big jam involving an idiot who parked in the middle of the road, a broken down bus and a campervan. We were at the side of the road as the road got more and more packed it was hilarious watching the drivers get more and more irate. FUNNY
We briefly visited Wales but it was the same as England only full of Welsh people (lol)
Got ICT result top marks a good start i think.

Omegle
One of the most amazing yet horrifying web sites on the planet it allows you to talk to people who you don't know and they don't know you.
You might be thinking "well it'll be full of peedos" and your probably right but you decide what info you tell that person and if a peedo comes to your house (no offence intended here) its your stupid fault to each other you are both strangers and if you tell them your genuine address well then you learn you made a mistake.
Though this website is all in text it has a basic webcam function and surprisingly only 10% of the videos are perverts pleasuring themselves so if you don't want to reveal to much information then stick to the text.
Amongst the horny people and the people who give you a link to a porn site and sign off again before you've even said hey you do meet lots of genuinely nice people who will listen and talk impartially and liberally about anything from relationships to pancakes it is a fantastic website and is highly addictive.
You might go on for the fun side like a friend of mine gave a guy who was overly fond of his genitals therapy on family relationships though you have to be very careful as you want to drawn them in rather than they sign out the moment you start being weird.
Helpfull Tips:
ASL stands for age sex and location some people will ask m or f? which is obvious enough but asl covers it all in one question and is thus more popular.
If you come across a person and they're first comment is ASL, do you like sex? or, horny? just play along for a while then suddenly do some really disturbing
e.g Stranger: Do you like big dicks?
You: why yes i have one myself
This just about kills the conversation stone dead (thanks V for telling me that one)
NEVER give out anything you don't want to if a person gets a little to personal then stop talking and click disconnect in the corner.

Dave
Watching re-runs on Dave. A day full of Cars, Technology and Robotic Violence. Can't help but thinking that since the dawn of illegal on-line tv that anyone with a brain would just type whatever whatever they wanted to watch in Google. WHY DOESN'T DAVE HAVE MORE PROGRAMMES?!?! The Programmes are great but theres only so much Top Gear one can take! I love Robot Wars though COME ON BEHEMOTH AND PANIC ATTACK!!!
Wow loving watching Jeremy Clarkson getting thrown about in a wind tunnel and talking about how important "air" is by throwing skiiers of mountains....Intersting...
