Today, I only had one lesson, which was History third period. This was awkward, as my mum was working nights last night and only got in at about 7.30, and went to bed at 8. This meant she only managed to get 3 hours sleep before she had to drop me off to school. I had to nag her to take me, because the buses weren't at the right time, and she had to sacrifice sleep to let me go on time. In the mean time, I revised my butt off from 7.30 until about 10.45, when I woke my mum up and dropped me off to school. I was looking forward to a good preparatory lesson, seeing as I have my exam on wednesday and wanted a proper lesson.. However, my history teacher didn't show up. Instead, we had a supply teacher. And what did she tell me to do? Revise! Which is what I had been doing the whole day anyway! When I was leaving the classroom, she sympathized, and I wish I had just asked her at the beginning if I could leave. But she didn't let one of the guys in my class go, so I didn't thinnk she'd let me either. I didn't revise, I talked to my friends instead because I was so pissed off. I then had to get the bus home, which said it was at 12.48, so I had to run around to get my stuff done. My mum wanted a statement, but the bus was imminent so I rushed to the nearest cash point and didn't have time to get one. Then the bus was late, so i WOULD have had time, but I had no idea when it would have arrived. I've pretty much wasted 2hrs 20mins on pissing about, when I could have stayed at home and everyone would have been happier.
UGHHH FML!!

First things first, the Glorious PlayStation 3.
I completed X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition in about 3 days (due to retardedness of PS3 which broke up my game play, as I will go into later) and all in all is a fun and addictive game. It's got an okay plot, brilliant graphics, and copious amounts of wonderful blood that make you realised why this game is an 18+. The amount of moves and realistic ways of pulling people apart (there's actually a trophy for dismembering 100 people 9that i gotm by the way!)) along with new things that i've never seen an X-Men game do before really makes it stand out as one of the better one's I've played, and a good way to break me into the whole PS3 gaming scene.
The game itself is pretty straight forward: Kill, find shit, move shit about using your claws, kill some more shit, get out of there, kill mini-boss, cutscene next level kinda format. The levels weren't overly complicated, and it is pretty much impossible lost to get seeing as it's quite linear (which I like, too much sandbox and I just forget what I'm doing -cough Assassins Creed and Grand Theft Auto cough-), plus you have that Up d-pad feral senses activation which basically tells you where to go and makes seeing a fucking dark room (or perhaps just my TV) a lot lighter and not fucking dizzy. Especially when there are GHOST Units around, there is pretty much no instance where you don't need to be in that mode. I spent pretty much all of chapters 2-5 in that mode, because I realised there's no point NOT being in it. You find yourself becoming heavily reliant on it, because it's just so damn fucking useful. Everything shows up sparkly green, orange and red and is like a colour coded screen for the retarded. GREEN IS GOOD THING FOR CLIMBING. ORANGE IS BAD MAN WITH GUN. RED MEANS NO CAN GO IN THERE. However, you can't help but feel slightly bad, because it feels like cheating... but fuck it! It's essential to have in the overly dark environment. I found myself not being able to take in the beauty of the graphics because I was constantly in this washed-out grey and neon world full of swirly swirly man thoughts. But without it, I wouldn't have found any dog tags (which give you bonus experience points to help you level), except some of the glaringly obvious ones, seeing as the dead bodies show up in fluorescent green and just WANT to have their bodies looted. And that elegant blue wisp that guides you along the corridors is also very useful. It means you can deviate into side rooms and passages to find hidden goodies without your head spinning - and find them in a quarter of the time as well, seeing as they're all lit up like a burning Christmas tree.
The game play was fun, LOTS of blood (I can't express that enough, seriously. Gory shit, man.) and good graphics with a wide range of moves that were easy to pick up and execute. Even if some were a little odd (both shoulder buttons to block? I found myself leaping forward a lot of the time or locking on accidentally, although block + roll + special attack is a fun move that I wanked to death). However, I just found this game to be a little easy. That is by no means a reflection on my superiority as a gamer - far from it, actually the complete opposite, if I found it easy then it fucking must be! You are very over powered, not that that's necessarily a bad thing, and twinned with the beloved feral senses you can storm through the levels and get to the end with a rather hollow sense of gratification where it just feels like somethings missing. I cannot, however, pin down what that is. I 'killed' Deadpool and then realised "Oh... this is it." There was a cut scene at the end that looked like it was leading onto a second game, possibly the second film, but I don't know. Not to say I didn't enjoy the game, I adored it and got completely immersed. This is probably an amalgamtion of my deep love from Mr. Jackman and the nice and simple game play. It didn't require much though, and most problems were easily solved, but that's fine really. It was not very true to the movie, but that doesn't matter particularly to me, and I loved the random facts on the loading screen. If someone ever asks me what Dave Cockrum did or what substance stops Logan's healing I'll be laughing (PS. it's 1) Designed his face and 2) Carbonadium, bitches.)
The level designs were also very nice. Everything was well detailed and laid out (when not in graphics raping feral mode), the game physics were well balanced, but when jumping Wolverine did zip back down to the ground and felt extremely heavy most of the time. You play part of the game in flash back in Africa, which was very fun. I especially enjoyed traversing the Transmitter towers using my good old friend the feral instincts button, and it all seemed to fit together pretty well. In other levels you play in the bar and have a fight with Victor where you get your ass handed to you, you play in Stryker's bases at Alkaline Lake, in laboratories when you get injected and the Sentinel labs, and also a lot of annoying free falling moments as well (with the giant Sentinel and all that crap, along with action button reflexes that th so rape in Kingdom Hearts). Speaking of Sentinels, where do these guys fucking show up? I assume they must play a part in the comics, because they are in every X-Men game I've played and yet not ever mentioned in any of the fucking movies. They're meant to be designed to sniff out and destory the mutant gene – a pretty important plot point if you ask me, with probably a lot of back story that can be gagged into submission. But they're never mentioned EVER in the films? Pffft, what's going on there!?
Ahem, anyway, back to the gameplay. The levelling system was alright, if a little redundant at times. I found myself getting all the good skills (those beings ones that build up claws and health, and others make special attacks more effective/last longer etc., which to be honest I never fucking bothered using his special attacks, I just bough the skill upgrades because stock piling the points is pointless and you may as well buy everything whether you need it or not) really early on as you level pretty quickly, so it felt as if I wasn't getting much stronger as the game progressed. Finding the mutagens were also a nice added bonus, although out of 10 or something available I only ever used 3, and that's only because I had 3 slots available and just wanted to fill them, which also seems a bit redundant, and I couldn't really notice a drastic change. Not as good as a previous X-Men game I owned, where the skills were better laid out and actually a lot more useful, however Wolverine in this game was a lot more fluid and just more fun to play as with a bigger range of attacks and overall better design. I also rather enjoyed running around collecting little statues, which unlock extra outfits outfits. However, I was only able to beat one of the wolverines to unlock Wolverine's classic tight yellow spandex number, seeing as the other two Wolverine's I had to fight for the clothes off their fucking back were insanely hard. By which I mean, I beat the final boss in 2 minutes and after 25 I still hadn't managed to kill the Legendary Wolverine. It was a slog, to say the least. A real stalemate of claws and testosterone, grunting and facial hair. We kept healing, basically. I still haven't gotten round to finishing him off yet, that I'll explain why later.
Deadpool was wonderfully easy, and I look forward to one day playing it on difficult so can see if he gets any balls and actually decides he want to deal me some damage. A combination of slash, slash, lock on + lunge, special attack, repeat as needed can bring him down with minimal damage to yourself. I did like all the appearances in the game from other mutants (yet Agent Zero is nowhere to be seen), although Logan was the only one to have the actor bother to voice act for the game (thank you, Mr. Jackman), and overall they did an okay job trying to convey some emotion. Wraith sounded like Will.i.am, Victor sounded like a man trying to sound like Liev Schrieber, and they just royally gave up with Styrker and Silverfox. Mystique makes a surprise appearance, and I got to see a little more of her and Wraith's relationship (which was LOLZ, and explained a lot about Kurt to me that I hadn't realised before), Kayla's face was truly fucked up but thankfully only in three scenes that were very far apart, and Creed was sexy as always and fought very well in both instances where you scrap with him.
Remi was a fun boss, I enjoyed his level in the casino very much, and he was probably more difficult to fight than Deadpool, though still relatively simple. Fighting The Blob was fun as well, although I was kind of looking forward to it being in a boxing ring like the movie, not in a super market. It was still fun though, everything was breakable (and breaking it all get you a trophy) and it was nice to see him career through the walls as if they were an elegant silkscreen that had somehow pissed him off. Again, easy, just several lethal claw piggy-back-rides and he's on the floor with concussion before you can say “Have you gained weight, bub?”
The mini-bosses were a nice lot of level extending filler too. The W.E.N.D.I.G.O prototypes and... the big fiery lava one's whose name I've forgotten got pretty repetitive after a time, although they DID increase in difficulty which was nice. Unlike the gun men, who were essentially claw fodder and about as easy to cut through as a particularly soft cheese. They were pointless one shot lunatics whose only real purpose was to get Logan's claws a little dirty.
I did very much like the easter eggs in the game. I love it when game designers show just how fucking nerdy they all are and slap in an easter egg or two. There were two in this game, but unfortunately I missed the first one, which was the sword Frostmourne from World of Warcraft on a cliff face somewhere I've forgotten, probably in an Africa section. However, I did find the Cake easter egg in the teleportation laboratory, which was wonderful.
Speaking of which, Orange Box and GTA4 still have not arrived. I was expecting them on Tuesday at the latest, but they still haven't arrived yet. Strangely, the one I ordered from a seller got here straight away, and the ones from Amazon aren't here yet. Hmmm.
But anyway, back to the matter at hand.
It is a true joy to play as Wolverine, in any game really. His powers are just screaming to be abused in the pixel market, and being such a diverse and recognisable character who is widely loved and respected by all makes him perfect video game wank. I could tell that the company had put a lot of effort into this game, and it wasn't just a rushed movie knock off. I loved the way he heals. The unnecessary effort put into that was fantastic. Whereas in previous games, Wolvy get's cut and life meter goes down, with no damage to him. In this game, however, not only does he bleed (and make them bleed, oh boy there's a lot of blood!), but his clothes are ripped (and don't regenerate, which I was half expecting them too. Again, a thumbs up for the reality factor), his muscles and then finally his skeleton and spine are exposed when he gets truly ganked by whatever tards have the guts to punch him full of holes until Logan's an angry Swiss cheese. And not only that, once the pandemonium is over, you can zoom in and watch him all heal up again. It's just inspired and wonderful, and a big well done to the gaming company for taking the time out to do that, which no other X-Men game I've ever played has done. Which is ludicrous, seeing as it IS his power, yet whenever his gets shot in any other games his clothes act like an impenetrable rubber fetish outfit, leaving no scratch to the outside, but leaving him bruised on the inside. It's also nice to have automatic healing for once, and not having to spend 20 agonising flow breaking seconds standing there grunting whilst you concentrate REAAAAAAALLY hard on healing. Which again, doesn't happen, so well done X-Men Origins team.
Another thing I enjoyed, following the same thread, is that when Wolverine slashes away at a statue or door or wall or whatever, his claw marks ACTUALLY STAY THERE. Unlike in every other game, where they either don't show up at all or more curiously fade after 3 or 4 seconds when you decide to take out some fury on a nearby rock or wall, in this game his scratches remain, even if you run about and come back. It's just another piece of inspired design, that makes this game stand out. Again, pointless but brilliant.
tl;dr, X-Men Origins: Wolverine Uncaged Edition is a fun game that will most certainly keep you hooked and entertained, but if you're looking for something a little more challenging then you should probably play something else. It has great graphics interspersed with good cut scenes, an alright plot and a varied set of moves and unlockables to keep you going all the way to the end. I'd probably give this game an 8/10, 9/10 if I was feeling generous, but because it was Wolverine and Hugh Jackman was in it I'd give it 1000000000/10 FUCK YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHH MOTHER FUCKERS.
My goodness. This was only meant to be a brief overview, but I actually rather enjoyed writing this lengthy behemoth of a pseudo review. Sorry about that.
I did go bitching to HMV about how my PS3 seems to only want to work when it feels like working, ie. Never or sporadically. They refused to give me a replacement and basically said “Eh, cry more. Go bitch to Sony,” which is not only rude but also wrong. They bought it from Sony, I bought it from them. Their responsibility. It should work, motherfudger, EVERY TIME I want to turn it on, not only some of the fucking time. Other times it just comes up all blurred and raped like this:
I don't know what spurs this on, seeing as it only does it some of the time, but it's fucking annoying and it does it with every game. HMV man said “Are you sure it's in the right port?”, trying to patronise me like the little girl I am. I told him bluntly I'm using an HDMI cable, and not that fucking retarded, especially seeing as my TV only has one fucking HDMI port. HMV manager man was a smiley ball of love, and said it looks like a problem from the scart adapting from PAL 50 to PAL 60 (or something like that), usually by some kind of external modification. I said I hadn't touched it or tried to ever modify it seeing as i'd only had it one fucking week, and wouldn't know how even if I wanted to, and that I'M USING A FUCKING HDMI CABLE, NOT A SCART/AV slkdsdfsdf.
I just turned it on now, and after lengthy cable switching and resetting I got it load up AssASSin's Creed on the HDMI, but it will probably fuck up again if I were to turn it off and on again. Like I said, sporadic and unpredictable. It's like every time I want to use it I have to refresh the visual settings. I thought that giving it a system update might work, so I plugged it into the internet via ethernet cable (seeing as I don't have wireless anymore because that modem Virgin Media gave is fucked, and it doesn't ever look like it has wireless capabilities on my PS3), and it refused to connect. I don't know how I'd even go about fixing that, let alone the visual problem.
Ah well, c'est la vie.
I was going to write about my recent Maximo Park gig, but I'll do that another time.
Oh, and search for the Deadpool Ending to X-Men Origins: Wolverine (the actually movie) on YouTube... MUCH better than the one where's he's in a bar in Japan that I saw. I mean much better.
MUCH, MUCH BETTER.
GO FIND IT.
Jen out.

LIKE INTENSELY WARM. MY FACE COULD HEAT A SMALL EUROPEAN NATION.
Slogging away at German, slowly but surely. I'll get there, hopefully. German Teacher podcasts = Epic win.
Can't stop watching this and this. It's making me feel crazy happy. And to think Greg did a show on Sunday in London... fuck you 18+ venues! I'd have so totally been there! IN AN INSTANT, BABY.
Currently hooked on Britain's Got Talent. I never watch those shows, but when I do, I watch BGT. It's the best, bar none. Better than America's Got Talent ("JUST ANOTHER THING WE STOLE FROM THE BRITISH!" /brick'd). Although Sir Jerry Springer does make my panties giggle with happiness whenever he graces my screen. What a man, I love him.
Stayed up all night last night watching CBS clips of THE ALMIGHT FERGER KING. I feel in love with Mr. Ferguson a while ago, but then he took a break and the video's stopped updating... now Craig's back and the love has been rekindled. Seriously, Scottish men don't get any cooler than him. DAVID LETTERMAN IS HIS BOSS, HE'S GOTTA BE PRO. I remember watching his heart to heart last year... and possibly/probably crying. I love how he can say something so serious and then make every one laugh about 10 seconds later. His monologues never, ever fail to impress. 1 1/2 minutes of just awesome. All the comedians I love tend to be able to go through epic gear changes. Like Matt Morgan always used to say about Russell Brand back in the good ol' days on the Radio Show. That's when Russ started saying "Hm, yeah, i probably am a bit bi-polar, what with all ym streams of consciousness n' all that." Anyway, I wish Craig didn't hate England so much, otherwise I'd be like "GET HIS ASS OVER HERE, WE NEED THIS BITCH!"
Note to self: Stop watching middle aged (married) men on YouTube. Frankly, it's getting freaky.

Well well well.
It's all down the shitter. I haven't had the motivation or energy to try and do any more. I've written a plan, racked my brain to remember what exactly I've lost. I remember going to bed last Sunday night/monday morning thinking "Wow, i've made a big dent in that, just the analysis to do!" Woke up, all was gone. It's like it hated me, and wanted to piss me off and stress me out the day before a massive project and leave me stranded. I was devastated. I cried for hoooours. ): I couldn't even go on the browser on my wii, as we recently switched providers and I can't get the wireless to connect. I spent hours watching Dave and Five USA (Top Gear and Whose Line is it Anyway have truly saved my soul), trying to keep myself busy.
I talked about it in my dA journal, of how my hard drive had failed on me. I lost most of my hard work, about 1/3 I'd say, and countless other resources that are impossible retrieve (although I thank dearly everyone who tried. <3) I feel like a dick for not backing it up... but I didn't expect it at all. It was a sudden failure. In a PC I have had not even 6 weeks, it seems a little weird to me for the hard drive to COMPLETELY FAIL. It really couldn't have come at a worse time, the day before the whole coursework was in, it would not boot up. It blue screened and could never return.
Now, as bitter as I sound, I'm pretty much over that now. That was monday morning, and this is sunday night. Almost a whole week has passed,
But what i can't believe is the audacity of the shop I bought it from.
Me and my dad collected it from Nats house, were her dad had kindly taken a look at it for me. We drove to the shop, handed it in, and the manager said "There are probably about 8 or 9 still left in our main branch," which was handy as my dad lived about 2 miles from there. He went out back, and left us for a long while. He sent out one of the junior managers, whilst the manager stayed out back. He told us they were all gone. None left. Anywhere. Not even HP had one left. We found this hard to believe. They said we could have a refund, but I didn't want that, I wanted a PC that just fucking worked. So, they offered us two alternatives as an exchange. One was much worse. My old PC has 4gbs of RAM, Quad core processor, and 750gb of hard drive space, plus all kinds of ports for extra storage. This had none of those, had 3gbs of RAM, dual core processor and 640gb hard drive. It was rubbish for the same price as one with a MUCH higher spec than that. The other alternative was one that was slightly better. Had 4gbs of RAM and quad core like before, but had a 1TB hard drive. However, it was £300 more than the other, for just 250gbs of hard disk space. Now, they were selling external hard drives with 500gbs of space for only 50, so why the fuck would they charge me 300 more?! Plus it didn't have the ports like the other one. We found it hard to believe there was NOTHING that even got close to the spec of my old one. Plus, neither of them were in stock at that branch, so we would have to wait anyway for them to come in. What, did I have the worlds rarest PC or something? They were trying to give us something we didn't want, or make us pay LOADS of money for something else we didnt want! In the end we took neither, and made them send it off for repair. They said it would take up to 14 days, and that it would be sent away on tuesday. I feel sorry for the poor juniour guy who served us, he was trying his hardest and didn't really know what to say. My dad was fuming. We got back in the car and he just ranted about them at more for about 15 mins before driving off. He was more angry than me, and it wasn't even him who'd lost all his shit. Aw well.
I expect to next see William 2.0 in about 5 months. Like fuck 14 days. They don't give a shit.
We can only hope.
/rant and pintless shit

Hmm... restore feature on unposted journals ehhh? My rants will never leave me alone, so it seems. I do that a lot, exit out when shit goes bawww, hoping that I can save myself from this drivvel. Anyway, let's see what my former, maybe less life-sober person had to say...
"Ahhh man, so very alone.
Coursework. Buhhhh. Again, creeping up on me like a polar bear with some kind of vendetta. I've pretty much sat in my room all [of last saturday], eaten 5 flapjacks, burned about 9 candles and youtube'd all day. Don't get me wrong, it's been fucking fantastic, but whatever. I've seen more ass pinching today than I thought was humanly possible.
Shame though, turns out that I can't remember what birthdays I put in for my neopets side accounts, so they're being left to rot. :/ Is a password not enough info for you? Like srsly? C'mon, I've never heard of any other website asking for your birthday when you want to log in. Plus they're crazy totaliterian. Way to block out most of your users guys. [nb: guessed all but one of them. It's getting tough]
Hey, I keep getting adverts at the side for 'Mod Clothing.' How does it know? Is it trying to tell me something? |D I'm a wolf at heart, baby.
I found a lovely poster of Carl and Pete -pokes icon- today. They're lovely, I love them, and they definitely love each other. I read an article that stated 'They are at their best when they are at their most homoerotic' - or something to that effect. IIt's true, Libertines should reunite, "
Hmm, former self was on a Libertines high. But it's truuueeee, Carl and Pete make my pants shine. Like 10,000 blazing suns.
That's pretty fucking hot.
Speaking of indie shit, Reading&Leeds line up released, Arctic Monkeys, Radiohead, KoL, Friendly Fires, White Lies... I'm sure my dad would pay for me (and maybe a friend) to go, or at least book it... but Reading is already sold out, and Leeds is 200 miles away. D: Asssss! Plus, there's no Killers. They are my dream band to see live. You have no idea the burning love I feel for Mr Flowers. Maaaaan, if I was a few years older, in America and had a car. I'd be stalking his 12-year-old-looking ass. How can a man be so smooth? Seriously? Does he bath in the blood of virgins?
Because that's totally cool with me, Mr Flowers.
Bands to see before I die:
1) The Killers
2) We Are Scientists
3) The Strokes
4) Kasabian
5) Kings of Leon
Aaaaand going to Maximo park with Jade (hopefully, lol). (: Fun fun~ When the new Strokes album comes out, THEY BEST DO A WORLD WIDE TOUR OTHERWISE MR CASABLANCAS YOU ARE GETTING A NEW ASSHOLE COURTESY OF MY FIST. I will slap you silly and you know I fucking will. >:C And this album better be good, hot damn, otherwise you'll have a looooot of explaining to do.
That reminds me, new Kasabian single on free download from their site.
Gotta remember to go and get it.
Noel Fielding in the video? Yes prz
Right now, WLiiA > Maths coursework. Epically CBA. Plus, WLiiA has officially the most same-sex mouth-to-mouth kissing than any other TV show in the history of television. It is literally the gayest show out there.
Now if THAT'S not a reason to watch it, then you've got issues.
I saw the Richard Simmons episode this morning.
Is it legal for someone to laugh that much at 10 to 7 in the morning?
Because that jet ski thing...
Woah man. That's all I can say.
Hmmm... I've run out of ideas.
Bye.
>:c

I realised my Light (from Death Note) key chain had fallen off my bag somewhere during break today. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a freaking huge Light fangirl who spends RIDICULOUS amounts of money of DN merch. Losing anything Light-kun related to me it pretty fucking big. Plus, I thought this was pretty weird to begin with, seeing as it was held on with a strong chain (that I can never seem to be able to undo), so I thought after 3rd lesson I'd go have a look for it. A friend said she thought she saw this guy with it, as he was "holding something desu," but I kind of wrote it off because I thought 'Why the fuck would he want that?'
So I walk out of 3rd lesson an hour later and I see him jumping around in the mosh pit that is the science corridor. I decide to look at his bag anyway, just in case it was there.
And it fucking was!
I asked him back to give it back nicely, and he jt replied "Uhhh, but I want it!" and carried on jumping around, despite me telling him it was mine several times. He refused to give it back, so in the end I had to fucking rip it off his bag. I paid waaaaay too much money at Expo for that bitch, no way am I letting some twat steal it from me, who hasn't even heard of Death Note! In the end I ended up breaking the tag for it, and he still has the chain that it was attached too. I'm pretty pissed off that he refused to give it back to me, even though it's been on my school bag since October, and it's pretty obvious it was mine.
Ffffff I need some more WLiiA to calm me down.
Fuck, I have so muc coursework to dooooo.
Maths is clawing at me like a sexually frustrated bear.
LIFE BLACK ABYSS ETC.
Fuck it.
I have no idea how this site works AT ALL
I just wanted to get this off my chest.
I am swamped down with shit right now. 30mins to me in fucking precious. I had to go to the doctors for something pretty minor (I had this allergic reaction on my arm to something) and my appointment was at 4.30. I got there, and proceeded to have to wait in a room with loud kids and obnoxious people for HALF A FUCKING HOUR before the buzzer went off for me to walk inside. The second I get inside, my fucking phone starts to ring. It was my mum saying "How did the doctors ago?" I told her I'd just walked into the room and that I was talking to the doctor, yet she to continues to talk to me, so I just hang up on her and apologise to the doctor. I talk to him for a little while, and he pretty much says "Yeah you're fine." I was in there for not even 2 minutes. Yet I had to wait half a fucking hour? I then ring up my mum again, tell her she made my look like a dick and angrily hung up on her.
Got home, screamed really loudly, and came on LJ.
Heh, just now a guy rang up trying to sell me something.
I just had a go at him and hung up.
FML.
