BOO!!!

After a holiday, illness, and some personal stuff to take care of, I'm back. So what's been happening this last month?

Disney on Ice- The child in me wanted to go to Disney on Ice, and the adult in me was dragged there by the child in me, so we both enjoyed a night of whimsy, wonder and grossly overpriced merchandise.

The majority of the show is made up of re-enactments of your favourite Disney movies. While the performers skate around on the ice, audio samples from the movies accompany their performance. It's pretty good but during these segments I couldn't help but ask myself...why don't I just go home and watch the movies? The segments made exclusively for Disney on Ice however, were fantastic and certainly worth any Disney fans time.

One thing that surprised me though, there was no Frozen segment! I was also relieved as I'm sick of hearing 'Let It Go' but I was very shocked to find it wasn't included.

Play Expo- I went to Play Expo Manchester and sadly there wasn't much to report.

There was a lack of major developers this year (e.g. Nintendo, Ubisoft etc.), instead they were replaced with 100 PS4's which didn't offer the same amount of intrigue. I did get to try PT at long last, and it's still scary even in a room filled with hundreds of people, but it's not enough to make me want a new console.

Oddworld New and Tasty was also being demoed, and it wasn't too bad but I felt as though the magic of the original was missing, I miss the detailed backgrounds of the original Playstation release.

I also finally got to try the Virtual Boy, the only Nintendo console I had never even seen let alone played, and everyone's right...it is a piece of crap. I had a headache inside of two minutes and I can't imagine what it must have been like for those who actually bought one and persevered with it.

I don't think I'll be returning to Play Expo next year so I'll be looking for a new a place for my holidays.

Clear out- Some excellent progress was made clearing out some stuff and the possibility of getting a PC in the next few months has now become more of a reality. Don't get me wrong, there's still lots to do, but hopefully my Youtube channel will be up and running again soon.

And that's pretty much it. I'm determined to finish the 100 Happy Gaming Days feature, I think there's 33 days to go, so keep an eye out as I'll be cracking on with those. TTFN.
