Here Be Nerds!

A quick disclaimer:

I am a NERD, I think as a Nerd, I act as Nerd, I play with Nerd toys. When or if I get a woman in my life I may put away Nerd Toys and act as a man and think as a man but this seems unlikely as all the guys I know still love playing games. This blog will be about my thoughts on games I'm playing. I understand that most of you have this blogged confused with Belle De Jour's and I'll be talking about all the sex I've been having recently, this is not the case. So please keep in mind if you decide to carry on reading that you have been warned.

I own a PS3 , Xbox 360, PC and i'm currently borrowing a Nintendo DS. How did you guess I dont go out much? Whats that it shocks you I'm single? I wouldn't say I masturbate that much! I guess I'll start with the DS. My friend Tom agreed to lend me his DS so that I could simply play the legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. I'm not really going to review it but I'll say this much its amazing. I'm a firm believer that a consoles power does not dictate how good a game can be on said console. Its all down to the game developer, its about what they can achieve. If you look back to your first console mine was the game boy , you can remember fun games, well made games. A good game developer knows that graphics mean nothing if every thing else is sloppy. I have known over the years alot of idiots that feel otherwise, but what do they count they are idiots. I'm getting off topic, Zelda games have always held a special spot in peoples hearts, you ask any true gamer to name his favourite Zelda game he will usually have to think about it for a moment. This is because there has been so many great games on so many different Nintendo consoles that it is genuinely difficult to give a quick response. Saying this I know people who will tell you instantly but this because they have already been asked this question. Zelda: spirit tracks is a must play game, not just for Zelda fans but for anyone with a DS.

War what is it good for? Well medical invention for one thing but it also helps game developers come up with new and exciting first person shooters or FPS as it also known. I'm currently playing a few FPS on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Lets crack on with the 360. This little online beauty is helping me play Battlefield: Bad Company 2. For those unfamiliar with this game its a FPS with an amazing destruction engine. This means I want in to a building I blow hole using my RPG. I'm stuck behind a wall taking fire, I whip out my drill and make a sniper hole. This game is a lot of fun and the perfect game to play with friends. To be a truly effect team you must work together and have really good communications going. If you have an Xbox 360 and don't own this game i suggest you get out there and get a copy. If you own a PS3 maybe not so much, don't get me wrong PS3s are awesome but there chat and team talk services leave a lot to be desired.

Speaking of the PS3, the 3rd game I'm currently battling through is a game called Resistance 2. Its an interesting game talk about as its so bleak. the basic premise is this, THE WORLD IS FUCKED. An alien virus has spread across the world consuming everything in its path and turning all inhabitants in to evil alien creatures. The last free country is America and its just about to get invaded, its your job to fight of hordes and hordes of alien scum trying to eating your face. When i say this game is bleak i mean it, after every victory i still feel that the earth is fucked as you destroy one alien ship 5 more take its place. But I suppose its better to play that then watch Jeremy Kyle. This game gets interesting online, PS3 is not great for team chat but online team full on chaos nothing does it better. 60 player death match with no slow down is amazing, killing someone that is ranked number one in the world then t-bagging his dead corpse is a must try for all hardcore gamers.

I should really apologize to anyone that isn't a game geek at this moment and hats of to you for reading this far. This might help you fit in with your friends that play lots of games or it could help you chat with your boyfriend, who knows. Anyway if you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment and I'll answer as best I can.

It cost to much to be nice

Someone once said it cost nothing to be nice. This of course is a lie. Being nice cost time, effort and your patience. Whats worse is you may be left with a friend simply because you choose to be nice instead of saying what you truly wanted to say. As an example I'll tell the story of myself and Mr X. I worked with Mr X for a short time. He was pleasant, kind, gentle and a little dim. The exact opposite of what I look for in a friend. I like aggressive, opinionated people that can challenge me mentally which most of you know that last one isn't difficult so if you fail that challenge you must be thick as shit. I worked with Mr X like I said briefly about 2-4 weeks although I would keep bumping into him after this time every now and again.

The last time i bumped in to him I was sitting by Tonbridge river relaxing in the sun waiting for my bus. He walked by with his friends and girlfriend I said hi, he said hi and instead of walking past he stopped for a chat. Joy. I exchanged pleasantries for a while asking him how he was, what he had been up to and generally keeping it brief and straight to the point. Everyone knows the type of conversation, the one where your just trying to get it over with. I had decided a few minuets in that he was not going anywhere so I would have to make my excuses and head off. As I began to leave he suggested we exchange phone numbers and one day we should go for a drink, grudgingly i accepted this and we did the exchange. I spend two more minuets saying good bye and walk off. Minuets later I get a phone call from a number I don't recognize I answer to hear Mr X's voice he wanted me to have his girlfriends number in case for any reason I have trouble getting hold of him.

I think I made my point, I think all of us know that person we don't want contact with but just feel obliged to be nice and polite to. Of course the sad truth is that most of us don't know if we are that guy as we are all so nice to one another.
