March Madness...Well not rearlly

Wow it's been a while since the last blog update. Since then not an awful lot has changed. I rented MySims on the Wii which has been played a grand total of once for about an hour and a half. I want to play it more but i keep getting distracted (more on that later). I also recieved MAG which i did buy for £25 but don't worry, it was purchased in January from a friend/fellow Thunderbolt Games writer, it just took him longer than expected to send it me. Once again it's been played once for about an hour, although with the bank holiday weekend looming i'm saving it for then.

Instead most of my free time has been spent on Football Manager 2010. It's a game i got just before Christmas but have barely touched. So one evening pulled it out and decided to play an LLM game and has since taken over my life. LLM is a bit different from how i'd normally play as it trys to be as realistic as possible. Basically you've got to:

Start in the lowest league possible
Must scout all players before signing
Avoid player search like the plague
hire all staff via the job centre
not use tactical or training guides or downloads
and under absolutly no scenario are you to use the editor or download things unless only graphical or from SI themselves.

I know some people think it'll be sad and boring but after one season (of which i was relegated and thus sacked) i'm loving it. If you're interested in finding out more check these forums out: LLM at FM Britain, LLM on SI Forums.

March was also my 24th Birthday, (March 27th to be precise). I didn't get any games but i did recieve quite a bit of money (£110) which put me in an odd position, i didn't want to buy any games with it. I mean there's plenty of great games out there which i would ordianily buy in an instant but when i went to choose one i saw the latest releases all shiny and entising and thought i could rent them and save a fortune. As such i'm thinking of saving this money for PlayStation Move. Unlike some i love innovation in gaming and so both Move and Natal are very intriguing for me. Needless to say that they wil be fairly expensive and so it would be best to put this money aside and save ti for then. Of course there's a lot of great games coming out between now and then so we'll see what happens.

Speaking of money i'm pleased to announce that March has been a complete and utterr success. Bar the rental subscription not a single penny has been spent on gaming. This challange is looking easy after all.
