ASP.NET
Currently on my University course I am having to learn ASP.NET.

It's a whole new different programming environment then I am used to which has caused me so realise a huge weakness in my coding knowledge and which is that I know PHP but that is all, I don't have any knowledge on how to make something in another language so I am now dedicating myself to learn other languages and become a more rounded coding person.

Welcome to March
Welcome to March
Hello all,

Sorry for the lack of update, I have been focused on a module called team projects, which has caused me to spend 10+ hours everyday for over a week, constantly coding and editing and helping.

I shall update the blog fully later this week, and should be starting to refine and finish the new re-design which I hope to be online some time this month

Bioshock 2
Bioshock 2
bioshock2

Bioshock 1 was my favourite game for the past 2 years. I loved the atmosphere, the story, the weapon / plasmid progression, pretty much everything.

Now with Bioshock 2, things are the same, it has great environment, the weapons are cool, and the plasmids are good.

Though bioshock 2 has a lot of problems, one being that not enough new plasmids, infact I cannot remember if I even saw/used a new one. Another issue is weapons, in some cases they have improved the original bioshock weapons (e.g. the camera which is now a film recorder and has no limit) but mostly it's just same old same old.

Another issue I had with the game, which could of been how I was playing but, I found an easy way to defeat enemies, freeze them then drill them, and no matter how big the enemy was (and as long as I didn't run out of fuel I was ok)

Now getting onto the story. I thought overall it was good, though kind of uneven. I think they took the bioshock 1 problem of a stupid ending and tried to make up for it. What I mean is that they told 70% of the story in the last level.

Don't get me wrong it is a great game, and it doesn't take long to complete (about 8 hours if your game doesn't crash), and I shall be playing it again, I just feel like they should have put more focus on the story aspect and less on making those bioshock 1 haters happy.

Dragonball z is my favourite anime show of all time.
I started watching it on Cartoon Network as a kid, and followed it religiously.

It is still one of my favourite shows even to this day, since it has a great story line and has compelling characters.

If you ever have a chance you should watch the first 10 episodes as I know you will get into it too.

Re-design Alpha 1
Re-design Alpha 1
Well I am in the process of Re-designing my blog. this is due to the fact I am already tired of it, but mostly because it isn't wide enough for the content I wish to put on it.

I know a simple image change, but I though I might as well go for a new design.

Please comment and tell me what you think

Dollhouse, was (since it has now ended due to fox cutting funding to the show) my favourite show of the past two years.

It started of kind of strange with the pilot making no sense and then changing back to the present day, but then the plot developed with strong characters and a sense of question throughout the entire series.

Dollhouse in the end only lasted a total of two seasons though in that short time everything that should of happened did, they didn't make it slow and boring like heroes and they didn't make it short like the big bang theory, it was my geek show in the middle.

I would go on and on about the show, but that is what reviews are for, and this is not one of those, this is just telling you that I liked the show and that you should probably watch it too
