  Still Alive

  For those of you wondering, no I'm not dead, and for those of you who aren't, well I'm telling you anyway The reason I haven't been on for the past couple months, is that my new college course is even more hectic than my last one, for example for my drawing skills class I had 25 drawings to do for the first outcome within a couple weeks, which I need to do in order to pass the class. So that's been taking up most of my time. I have managed to keep some time for gaming of which most of it is being taking up by Skyward Sword and Assassins Creed Revelations. That's really all I have time to say so I'll leave you with this which I love way more than I should

  Up To Speed

  Sorry it took so long for me to write this up, I haven't really found the motivation to actually write this before now But I eventually forced myself to finally do it. So yeah, I said in my last blog that I still had a week left of college, well I'm glad to say that I finished and passed my course which qualifies me to get on the 3D Animation course I wanted. This is a big step forward towards my dream job of becoming a games designer Now its just a case of waiting until September when college starts back again.

  Gaming Update
  This is gonna be massive so I'll just list what console's and the games I've got for them and what ones I've completed.

  
  Playstation 3:
  Mortal Kombat - Story mode Kompleted (Couldn't resist )
  Shadows of the Damned
  Prince of Persia Trilogy

  
  Xbox 360:
  Alice: Madness Returns - Completed (Playing through on Insane for the Achievement)
  Brink - Completed the Resistance side
  Lego Pirates of the Caribbean

  

  Nintendo DS:
  Pokemon Black and White - Completed Black (Including beating the Elite 4 and Champion twice)
  Nintendo 3DS:
  Super Street Fighter 4 3D
  Rayman 3D
  Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

  I also downloaded Bastion last night on Xbox, its an interesting and fun game to play, especially when the narrator reacts to what you do on screen. Also, as I said, I've been playing through Alice on insane to get 1000G for it, while on the PS3 I've been playing Mass Effect 2 just to finish the campaign with the character I want to import to 3.

  

  Anyone remember this mindf**k?
  
  On the 3DS I've been playing Zelda OoT, I've only just finished the Forest Temple as I haven't been playing it much due to a Pokemon Black and White tournament that I was preparing for at the Pokemon/Yu-Gi-Oh! club I go to every Monday. Speaking of Pokemon Black, I beat the elite 4 for the second time just the other day, the team I used is as follows:

  Zoroark - Lv 64
  Staraptor - Lv 50
  Conkeldurr - Lv 57
  Emboar - Lv 56
  Haxorus - Lv 67
  Garchomp - Lv 75

  The reason I have 2 dragon types is because I'm trying to train Garchomp up to level 100 and Haxorus is my 2nd strongest Pokemon after Garchomp (not to mention Garchomp is my favorite Pokemon)
  As I mentioned, I go to a club every Monday where I play Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon (Cards and VG), I've been going for about 3 or 4 months now and I've been doing not too bad. I won 2 out of 4 games in the Yu-Gi-Oh! tournament and 1 out of 2 games in the Pokemon tournament (card). My current deck for Yu-Gi-Oh! is a Blackwing deck and I'm using a Dark and Steel deck for Pokemon. I could list the cards in my decks but that will probably make the blog longer than anyone is willing to read so I'll just leave that for next time
  Last thing I'm going to mention is pre-orders. First up I pre-ordered the Mass Effect 3 Collector's Edition on Xbox as soon as it was announced.

  

  I love this series to bits and I can't wait the the conclusion to it, its looking epic. Next up i pre-ordered the Assassins Creed: Revelations Collector's Edition again, on Xbox.

  

  The Assassins Creed series is in my top 5 all time favorite games series and AC II is by far the best Assassins Creed. Next is the Bleach: Soul Resurrection game on PS3.

  

  The reason I pre-ordered this is because I like the Bleach manga and anime and it looked like a decent game. Lastly I Pre-ordered the Sonic Generations Special Edition on 360. I played the demo that was released not too long ago and it was AMAZING, I honestly can't wait for this one.
  Well that looks to be all for now (or that I can remember/be bothered writing ) Sorry for the length of the blog, I should've really blogged sooner but you know how it is with college towards the end of the year so until next time, catch you later.

  Ain't No Rest For the Wicked

  Firstly I'd like to direct you to the song for which this blog is named after, which you will find here. You'll probably know it if you've played Borderlands, and I just love it (and Cage the Elephant who sing it).

  Secondly, I have to apologise for not posting any blogs over the past few months for those of you who (for some strange reason) like to read them, college has kept me really busy in the lead up to the end of the year.

  Lastly, if my blogs were an anime, this one would have to considered filler as I still have so much to do for college before I finish on Friday after which I'll post a proper blog and update on what I've been doing. Until then though, catch you later

  Random picture of Alice from Alice: Madness Returns as its my current obsession and this blog looks weird without a picture
