I will soon have a rather large sum of money.
Somewhere in the region on £800.
Now I am taking my girlfriend to Paris, buying a fridge (possibly the little one from SR) and adopting a loris from London Zoo.
But that leaves me with about £500 at least to spend, if not £600.
So should I get an Xbox?
I already have Splinter Cell on GC and any mulitformat games I would just buy on that.
Should I use some of my money on an box?

I completed Zelda the week before study leave started, so it didn't interfere. At some point I'll go back to it and start again with the new file.

RS? Religous studies?

Heh. I insulted the examiner in that exam - The statements were so retarded though. The examiner deserved to be insulted before I made my point.

They probably down graded me for examiner abuse.

Oh well. I blame Zelda for that.

I'm bricking myself now about getting the results. Still the day after we get them (22nd) i'm going on holiday to Ibiza. Yay!

I have failed RS and Chemistry for sure. The rest I think went well, I just hope I haven't failed anymore than 2!

I love games like OF and the way you can approach the missions in so many different ways.

As for GCSE results. 3 weeks tomorrow until we get them...

I've got around 4 weeks of holidays left to play it.
I got completely stuck on about the 10th level of Red Hammer. Airstrikes coming in and you have to take ou some shilkas, but it's just to darn hard.
And also on possibly one of the hardest levels ever devised in the main game.
It's the penultimate level, and you basicaly have to infiltrate the main enemy camp somehow, avoid all the patrols, not raise any alarms, and get to this house in the middle of the compound, to steal some documents. Then you have to escape again.
I decided the bst way would be to steal a shilka for one of the bases and just bomb it through the level as fast as possible, but that requires me to take out a whole base of people with my sniper rifle from a hill. There are around 8 people in the base and if you don't get them quick enough they go and get in a BMP and blow you to pieces.
Plus you only gt one save!
So difficult but so rewarding as well.

Heh heh!

The enemy party level sounds mint!

The other area I played when it was released was the level where you and a few team mates are left behind to ambush some tanks as they drive past dow this lonely beaten road. It was awesome to plan out where everyone would go and what everyone would do. I fired a rocket in the road to bring it to a hault whilst the other soldiers took out the two guys in the jeep behind. With the tank searching for the AI Allies I went up behind it and placed a satchel charge. Lets just say it was a massive sense of achievement and a big fire work display.

I liked the use of weapon weight effecting how fast each soldier could move. All the extra little touches made the game something extra special.

All this talking is getting me angry that I won't be able to play through it for another couple of months :)
