As always my journals are sporadic and boring but I felt it was time to update anyone who might be interested, so here goes...

The Biro Blurb




Well a lot has happened in the recent months, I sat my A-Levels and wasn't pleased with how they went, but then when is anyone ever happy with how exams went. As it turned out I got my results back and it was nothing but good news. One A and two B's which was the precise requirements to get into my University of choice (Reading). If any of my watchers has heard anything about Reading or knows someone that goes there could you please leave a comment or note me or something because I would love to know everything I can about it.

In other news I went to Tuscany in Italy on Holiday which was gorgeous and I got numerous Shots (some better than others) which I have been uploading. Some have had a considerably better reception than others but I guess that's how these things go =P

It's my birthday on the 3rd of September which is nice to have in private before I leave for Uni, although I'm sure this years celebrations will revolve around seeing friends before they leave and preparing to leave.

As such from around the 26th or 27th for a week I may be rather inactive as I settle into Uni life in Freshers week.

I think that' all for now but keep your eyes peeled for any new photos I may upload... :)

People kind enough to watch me

Hungry?

Greetings. Do you have a booking?
I realise I have not updated my Journal anywhere near as much as I should, my last journal was about 6 weeks ago :O. Anyway I'm back now to update you all.


For Starters
Thanks anyone who favourited and commented on my most recent deviation "Strive". It means a lot that it was as successful as it was. A few people who watch me will look at it and think that it hasn't been successful but for me it has been.


For Main Course
I have a couple of reviews that I might write up at some point including Halo Wars for the Xbox 360, Hot Rod (film) and a couple others, maybe Empire: Total War. Anyone who has any requests feel free to suggest one and I may review whatever it is. I know I haven't been too active with the ol' submissions as well but I'm looking for some chance to get out, these chances dont really pop up during term time so hopefully this half-term.


For Dessert
I thought I'd do a short feature with a theme. This time it's some brilliant examples of Tilt-Shift, a very cool technique that 5onov recently familiarised me with, I may in time upload some of my own attempts!

Here we go....

Hello
I hope you're all well, I also hope you enjoyed the review I did. I hope to do more some time but for now it's a normal journal entry.


So here's the deal
Its half-term here in Oxfordshire. For anyone under 13 that's great news, it means a week of dossing about the house or seeing friends. For those in GCSE's, A-levels or Uni level education that means a small window of time to catch up on missed work as well as social commitments that can't fit into your usual hectic work schedule.
So finally here's where you guys come in. I believe most of my watchers are in education or have left it in the past 5-10 years. In that case you will be familiar with technology's biggest arse-tearingly horrible contribution to learning. PowerPoint Presentations.
Does anyone here have any ideas how I can make my presentation original and interesting, could be an idea for a role-play, pictures, a short game to play with the audience. Ideally something that makes me interact with the audience. The topic is "Why do we Dream?".
So get those creative juices flowing and help em with some ideas!!....please  ^^; !!

Quick Note
Hello, after a positive response from my recent poll I figured it might be nice to try this Review thing. Before I go on I must tell you that im not doing this because I think people necessarily care what I think but more because It is useful practise in writing, particularly in Media. I decided that I would review the recent release from Bethesda, "Fallout 3", so here goes...


Fallout 3
Fallout 3 is set in a post-apocalyptic planet earth around the year 2277. You start out living in a submarine-looking-place called Vault 101. This takes the form of the tutorial and as anyone who has played "The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion" knows, Bethesda make the most interesting and playable tutorials.  Once you escape into the vast nothingness of the "Capital Wasteland" (aka Washington DC) the fun really starts.

Mutated people and animals immediately attack you - The Targeting system (V.A.T.S.) is nothing short of wonderful in this situation!!! Being able to choose on the spur of the moment how much effort you want to put into a fight makes battles that would otherwise be boring and repetitive a relative joy!! You can never get tired of watching a Giant Bogey-Green Man with a startling resemblance to Wayne Rooney get his head blown off in a shower of red blood which immediately adorns any surrounding walls.

In fact the most enjoyable side of this awesome RPG is the wealth of guns and weapons, guns that fire Spikes which stick enemy heads to surface, plasma guns which "goo-ify" enemies and a sledgehammer which is powered by some sort of hydrolics or the like - all of these are at your disposal to help you dispatch the Bogey-coloured people who wish to eat you, thereby sustaining their sexy complexion! =P

You will run into famous places such as Washington's Mall and Abe Lincoln's memorial, all of which seems a little creepy in this irradiated hell hole. Despite this, one can't help but admire the stunning graphics and beauty of the game, the design team must have spent many months getting just the right amount of creepy atmosphere dripping through it.

The story mode is fantastic, the story may be a little predictable but the voice acting of Liam Neeson makes it feel like you are part of a movie. A word from the wise, if you decide to buy this game explore the map before advancing too far through the story mode, ending the main story ends the game.

The script and voice actors are really top-notch and the conversations allow you show whether you're a nice guy or a bad guy. Clearly so much has gone into making this game the very best it can be, to truly get the most out of it I reccommend buying it for PC (if yours can handle it) as you get a lot more control over what happens and can use Console Commands. All in all I give this game a 93%

If you have enjoyed this mini-review please tell me, if you didn't please tell me and if you have any suggestions again please tell me, I can only improve with constructive criticism.


Fallout Features
I leave you with some wonderful features of Fallout 3 related art

Bonjour my sweets!

I hope you have all had awesome christmas days and that you all got something you want from :santa:

I want to apologise for no updates for a very long time and no picture uploads for even longer. i have been having some trouble getting photoshop to work and in the end decided to start over again and buy the new cs4 for xmas (guess wat santa bought for me!) and i am now trying to get that to work. Unfortunately the student serial code they sent me appears to be invalid, if anyone knows if im missing something please help me!

i have been able to edit some recent pictures on the trial mode which will be going up over the next few days so look out for those and comment and fave them!

For now i will say gdbye and wish you all a happy new year, when i will be doing a new feature!
BYEEEEEEEE
