Yup who would have thought it that SJ would be on Steam and more importantly playing Half Life 2 and the Orange box?

Well me for one but that's what happens when you join the Neoseeker Group on Steam and talk to a few Neoseekians. Currently they are installing so no idea how I will fair online but we'll see.

Anyway if there are any steam, orange box or left 4 dead players then my steam ID is quite simply salvenius

Aye that's right, a band with over 30 years of making rock music, 18 successful albums and appeals to all age ranges from 12 to 80. If you haven't guessed it or too blind to spot the image then I am listening to AC/DC's Black Ice album that was released this year.

Comparing this album to their others you can instantly tell they have somewhat "Mellowed" as many years before they were loud and crude yet AC/DC are back once again to show how it is really done.

We're talking about a band where their music is used for movie soundtracks and even for Wrestling and yet these guys are the real deal, other than guitars and drums, there is no foul play, no lip-synching...not even any modern technology accept a few camera crews, green screens and the odd fresh guitar and drum set.

Funnily enough though, I got this for my mum's birthday and we just spent an hour or so listening to the album. How many ba

Oops seems I broke the blog and had to remove the portion (I think the blogs weren't made to handle me ^_^ )

I shall leave you with an excerpt from The Arena

The Arena

Summary

Finally a more normal novel you say? Think again.

Too tired to make a summary at the moment so will sneakily edit one in later :P

So you want to get into the mind of SJ do you? You don't? Oh...well...this be an awkward blog post then as out of boredom I decided that I would share a summary and excerpt of each novel I am writing (and to hopefully break and beat the writer's block that has plagued me for the last several months)

The excerpts themselves shall be placed in spoiler tags, not to stop spoiling things but because for a blog, they are more or less huge...well you will see as we progress. Keep in mind however that these are all first drafts still and will be rewritten or the plot may change, then again ideas seem to be getting jumbled up and this is generally one thing that irritates me about my creative mind.

Paradise Province

Summary

Hmmm there really is no way to summarise Paradise Province as there are many plotlines and twists at almost every corner.

The main two are as follows. The first is that in thi

Yes, SJ in two days shall be getting his hands on Left 4 Dead. Why he is speaking third person, he has no idea but meh.

¬_¬ yes ironic that a moderator of neoseeker is ranting about this but the irony in this is, it's not Neoseeker related...yay!

As you can see, this is about the game Battlefield Heroes. I am a beta tester there and so I stick around the forums they have on the site. Now to fill in everyone about the situation.

DICE, the same guys that brought you Mirror's Edge are the same people that are developing the free to play game, BFH. The game was said to be released in Summer 2008 and yet it has been in Closed Beta until November 2008. This has angered many gamers to the point that they are constantly spamming the BFH forums with nonsense and/or topics such as "When will the game be released?" or "I DEMAND YOU RELEASE THE GAME!" or even the best one so far..."RELEASE THE F'ING GAME OR I WILL NEVER PLAY AN EA GAME EVER AGAIN!"

Good luck with that one bud for saying EA publishes the majority of ga

So yes, bored and not wanting to do my writing projects just yet. I decided to play Fallout 3 with the intent of making videos. What drove me to do this, well I will show you. This was posted in the PS3 fallout 3 forum in the thread Your best trap involving mines or destructables. A member posted this youtube video of another player...well I will let you watch it



So that was it, I was set to re-enact the same scene but go one further. Unfortunately I had advanced through the game too far and killed Mister Tenpenny in the process. This forced me to reload a very early save which also meant losing all the weapons I had. Not wanting to visit each place for each weapon I decided to go straight for the only one I wanted and picked up a few others along the way. Now I was on my cheat save and used the console command to teleport to the GNR building but due to not bein g far in the main quest an

"it's beginning to look alot like christmas!" ¬_¬

20 days until christmas day, 1 day until my work's christmas party and guess who is sick. Yup that would be me.

To be honest it is my own fault as I have this ability to ignore the cold. yes you heard me. I can literally walk around in the freezing cold with no coat on, just a t-shirt and jeans. I have walked around in Wales while it snowed there and get stared at by the very people that live there who are clad in the thickest and warmest coats, hats, scarves and gloves that anyone has ever made.

Now don't get me wrong, I do feel the cold and it does cause my skin to turn red due to the blistering winds yet I just can't wear coats mainly because I get too damn hot in them. In fact out of 2008 so far I have worn a coat once and that was due to a heavy downfall of rain that day. Including the two days I have off now (Thursday and Friday) in
