England: Day Four

This is Day 4 in a series. You might want to check out the previous day, or start at the introduction.

It's good to be back in London. I really do like this city.

So, the day started in Manchester. Woke up, had breakfast, and then walked to Old Trafford to watch the Manchester United vs. Blackburn game.

England: Day Three

This is Day 3 in a series. You might want to check out the previous day, or start at the introduction.

Finally, on day three, we reached England. Manchester, specifically.

But we'll get to that.

England: Day Two

This is Day 2 in a series. You might want to check out the previous day, or start at the introduction.

So, day two of the England trip was still in Ireland. In Dublin specifically. In Howth, even more specifically.

Today, we started out by walking to the downtown, and taking a look around. My aunt had some errands to run on the way, so we stopped in at some buildings on the way.

England: Day One

This is Day 1 in a series. You might want to start at the introduction.

So, day one of the England trip is actually spent in Ireland. Imagine that. But before I get to that, let's go back a bit further in time.

England Trip

Right, so I'm off on a trip to England with my dad, and I've decided that I'm going to try to post about it here.
I may even tell people that I'm doing this!

Anyhow, I'll try to update this blog at the end of every day (London time, aka. GMT) with a post about what we did, and I'll try to include some pictures and whatnot. I'm not sure that I'll have an internet connection everyday, so if I don't, there won't be an update. It almost makes sense.

So yeah, that's what's up.

New stories starting on Wednesday night GMT.

Starting Out

So, this is my very first blog post.
 I don't really have anything worth saying at this point, so I'll ramble for a bit, OK?

It's Christmas morning! Strange time to start a blog, but that's fine by me. I should get to sleep, so I can open presents sooner, but I'll just say a few more things.

First off: video game recommendations.
If you have not played either Alan Wake or Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, (which you haven't, because I'm seen the number of copies in bargain bins), do yourself a favour and get them. Also, do the developers a favour and get them. They are both fantastic games, and both were way underrated. Or at least underplayed.
If you are going to get either of them, you should probably get Alan Wake, because Team Ninja has announced that there will be no sequel for Enslaved due to it's poor sales, while Remedy is putting out a follow up to Alan Wake this coming spring. So if you have to choose, support the one that will continue.
But please get both of them if you can. Alan Wake is only available for Xbox, so if you're a PS3 owner, get Enslaved. If you're a PC gamer, good news! Remedy recently announced that Alan Wake is coming to PC this spring, so you should get that one. (UPDATE: Alan Wake's American Nightmare came out for XBLA and PC, but the franchise is now on hold. Sad day.)

Secondly: I'm going to bed. There is no second point.
