MGS4 is just unbelievable. It’s the first game I have ever played through twice. First time, I just went in guns a blazing, but on the second run I managed to do a full 0 alert and 0 kill run. This game has just blown everything out of the water in terms of what I thought was a great game. I might even play it again. The story and gameplay are just fantastic. This game alone has made the PS3 worth purchasing.

My windows install became b0rked a few days ago (from now on, I’m imaging my drive every couple of weeks) and now on my fresh install POP3 doesn’t work. I know I had exactly the same problem before but can’t for the life of me remember what I did to fix it. Ball ache…

UPDATE: Turns out it’s not a Vista problem at all. I should have been logging into my mailbox with the full domain on my username rather then just my username. D’oh.

Now that the iPhone is £169, I just couldn’t resist getting one, and wow, how I wish I had got one sooner. No phone I have ever used or read about comes close to being as feature rich or as impressive as the iPhone. Why spend money on a Nokia or a Sony Ericcson, when you can get one of these babies. My jaw has been constantly hitting the floor since I first got it on Friday. Want to surf the web? With built in wifi it’s no problem and browsing the net on Safari is fracking awesome! My main party piece is loading up the BBC’s iPlayer. The quality is just brilliant.

Everything just works and features just surpass any expections you may have already had. It’s just beautifully crafted and developed. Before I got it I had been saying to everyone that there’s no way I would pay £300+ for an up-to-date 3g version if Apple released one. Now I’m not so sure…

Now that Flickr lets you upload videos, I thought I’d try and create some slideshows of our Amsterdam trip. I uploaded the videos to Facebook as well and thought it was awesome that in the “In this video” section it just said “No one”. I think that sums up the photos perfectly.
