Army Development and Selection Centre (ADSC)

I Be Lazy Me!

Whats the hickory dickory dock with this then? I constantly attempt to utilize some form of commitment towards this blog, but its not working, i’ve expressed previous reasons as to why, but lets skip the pleasantries and get on with the trivia and wot-not! Its never officially been mentioned anywhere, well, except through word of mouth, but i decided to join the Army, i was originally leaning towards the RAF but that would have been naive of me and i admittedly would have lost my way within the core values of the role, and not to mention the farse I had with my tattoo (provided by pip might I add ;) ) Life for me at the moment is pretty relaxed, and anybody you ask would say that the word relaxed is a good thing, well for me its not, I feel very unmotivated and leery towards my duties at the moment, duties being mainly fitness requirements, but I’m sure they’ll go away soon, this tends to happen to me, I get hyped up about certain things, then I loose the enthusiasm, and like a goose running into a brick wall I get smacked with a sense of reality and I feel like I have to try and force some motivation out from the seams of my rather deflated body. I passed both initial interviews for the army, hoorah, but I found out theres no intake till april 2010, how poop, is that!? I think that is the reason I’m lacking motivation at the minute, it means since I started my application for the military (RAF) in august 08 I will have waited 19 months!!…. Eurgh, what a blank boring scope of time, that is if I pass adsc (Army detection and selection center) within the coming weeks, which is inevitable, apparently for my 1.5 mile run, its all level terrain and a straight line, I could sprint the distance, not looking forward to the heaves though and getting up at 5 to start the day. I really do need a good kick up the bum cheeks ;)

Haileys PC just broke, what can I say, I’m truly devastated, it has all my adobe work on there, all my montage, all my after effects stuff, my AutoDesk programs, and my captured footage of the camcorder, everything that’s dear to me is on that machine and its just conked out, we receive a red light on the front of the machine permanently, so I’m under the impression that its some kind of hard ware issue, it came on properly once after the initial fault, but it hasn’t done it since, kinda like fate being kind and saying, ‘okay go on, get your stuff and export it the external drive for safe keeping’ but I blew it, watch this space.. we cant give up on it, it’s a quad-core after all  speaking of red lights, my xbox conked out to, that was hellish… I got very bored, I now realize that I am actually a slave to Call of duty 4 regardless of whether I care or not, so if can imagine, my excitement for the next modern warfare game to be ludicrously high :P the breakdown was swiftly dealt with on Microsoft’s behalf, they sent a dude out from UPS and I waited 8 days for it to return, just like new.. happy days! Also i secretly want hailey to get this new contract deal so she give me here Sony erricson k800i, the phone I used to have, then I could spice up the blogs with some photos, oh how I have taken camera phones for granted.

Fix that Glitch!!

Posted by: johntheone | July 22, 2009

Xbox Vs PS3

PRO’S

PS3

  • Free to play online!!!!!!
  • Removable Common Hard Drive (cheap and can go quite high in capacity)
  • Blue Ray!!!
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth
  • Better DLC (Themes and shit)
  • Applications
  • Blue Ray Discs for games (fit 6 times more content on a BD than an xbox disc) PS3 54 gig /Xbox 9gig …. lol
  • Cheap peripherals
  • Solid Snakes home :)
  • The PSP!
  • Full Web Browser
  • Motion Sensor Controll Pad
  • can handle 51-billion dot product operations per second (Xbox = only 33)

360

  • More Games
  • BETTER GRAPHICS: The GPU is more powerful. It has more powerful fillrate, and far more pixel and vertex processing horsepower
  • Integration with Windows Live Home!
  • !!MSN!!
  • More peripherals
  • Master Chiefs Home :)
  • Comes with headset
  • Better Online Experience (more games can play online//Multiplayer)
  • Customization features …AVATAR!!
  • Integration with Twitter and Facebook… (soon)
  • Superior Control Pad (with concave analogue sticks)

CON’S

PS3

  • More expensive…….. (initially, ;P )
  • seriously dodgy controller, will slip out of your hand far more easilly in comparrison to the 360’s
  • Its massive :O
  • Games are usually 50-55squid
  • you have to constantly update the OS, every five minutes
  • No-one talks online. :(
  • You need a bluetooth headset to do so.. (i personally think thats quite cool)
  • Consumes more erectrickity
  • has no anti-aliasing (loads of rough edges!)

360

  • Freezes quite regulary
  • Gets rings of death and such
  • will scratch your games (if it feels tremors……. No not the movie)
  • Needs an external Player to play HD-DVD’s
  • Very Noisy Machine
  • Annoying People Online who think theyre hard, so they mouth of.. *Nudge*
  • No Wi-Fi (needs peripheral)
  • Microsoft are Notorious, you find youself paying for absaloutley everything, wallpapers, basic DLC, service help, and ofcourse… online play!.. wankers!
  • You decide, i think the 360 is more fun, but you get a heck load more for your money if you go with the ps3

    Oh and i think the PS3 OS (operating interface thingy) is much sexier, more mature, clearly aimed at adults….Better >

E3-Monday

So i’ve given up trying to watch E3 over the net, its being streamed from ign, a web site that i was never really fond of, i always used to lean towards gamespot, i also heard thats its being streamed from xbox.com but i’m past pleasantries, i’m annoyed that i pretty much missed all of the modern warfare 2 section/game-play because it kept stalling, whatever, i grabbed some stills from it so i’m happy. I didTH manage to get a glimpse of that new tony hawks game, and i noticed on the video there were section of a spike jonze short film (check it here) probably used to promote the game, he also whipped out the first ever skate board peripheral that is just a skateboard,board it looked quite cool, with adaptors at the side and it apparently contains accelerometers to sense  moment kinda like the wii fit, i imagine. There were roumers as to how the show would open and funny enough those roumers turned out to be true E3 2009 was opened by 50% of the Beatles (for obvious reasons) alegendsnd they were introducing their own game.. yup rock band: the Beatles… does exactly what it says on the tin. Apparently abbey road will be available for download so that should be fun, i must point out that i felt awkward on their behalf, it felt like nobody really showed them what they were supposed to be doing, i think ringo even said “i think they just want to make it up as we go ” or summit like that, anyhoo they thanked the crowd for thier support and hoped everybody would go out and but the game, some band demonstrated the game, but reality it was boring watching other people enjoy them selves playing a game.

After fetyching myself some coffee, i turned to realize that the video has ’stalled’… brilliant, so i’m sat there gawping at the monitor for like 5 minutes sipping my scalding kenco rapour and sound came from the computer i emmediatly realised what i was watching, it cam one rather soon, good for me but i hadn’t checked the timetable so i was unaware of what order things were being displayed, it was some guy fromplaying infity ward demonstaring the game, apparently their going into more detail on thursday, so i’ll try and cover more then. When this stupid pc came round to acting like a mac and just working, ‘ahem’, i saw what looked like a wall of ice, and some dude climbing up a wall of ice, i vividly remember this imagry from the release trailer so i grabed some more stillz from the gameplay footage. climb When it was working i was quite amused by what i was seeing, i vaugle remeber some kind of titles so it must have been the opening of the game, and i remember seeing some green txt above the other man, and i think it said, captain mctavish, inbetween the farse i had of seeking out space on photoshop and capturing the screen, i actually missed quite a few good bits, the bits i managed to watch thoroughly were so good, that i didn’t want bugger of and paste images onto photoshMotion sensor attachmentop.. it was that good! There was some sort of highten impresion that the weight of the gus was heavier and i can’t but help to say that the whole thing was very james bond-esque. the gun that was being used had a slide out monitor to see… through the snow, it was not somethiing moderatly realistic like a thermal screen, it was kind of a mini radar sytem coming from the gun.

captain mctavish Either way the game looks awesome and i can’t wait till Thursday to see more details and gather more intelligence, its not like i’m not allready hyped up enough.
