PSP GO! review
I recently bought the new PSP GO! let me do a review here for all you contemplating on buying a PSP.
First things first, the pain of carrying games around with you all the time is gone because the new PSP cannot accept UMDs! this is because all the games are stored on the new 16GB built hard drive. first problem, you only get 14GB because 2GB is already used for system files etc. So thats at least 2-3 games less that you can store!
The new PSP is alot smaller so it actually fits into your pocket, unlike the old PSP which was literally the size of a brick, the new one is also alot brighter, longer lasting battery and faster WiFi. The screen on the new one is smaller but the resolution is the same so no loss of graphics or quality.
The major downfall so far is that all your old games for the PSP is no longer usable of course and the old one doesnt sell for much either so if you wanted to trade in old for new you still have to pay abit for it!
The new one is £224 from GAME, you cant use you student card for discounts though! which was a big let down for me when I found out, its the same price in HMV but comes with a case! haha what a deal!
I got mine from CEX which is £190, second hand but never used, due to people selling them as soon as they get it free with a contract phone, so its practically brandnew.
They take in the old PSP for £65 trade-in which is more than what the other stores take in for, and they sell it cheaper so its the only place to go really.
The other the downside is obviously the games, if you buy games from stores you can get discount from student cards, which was always nice, but now you buy online you cant get any discounts at all! not can you buy second hand games which is kick in the balls!
Good sides are that the new one is really slick and good looking and easy to carry around and also you dont really need to spend money on memory cards.
I dont believe the price will go down too much niether will there be deals because they cant come with games! There is a good deal though, if you own the old PSP then you can get 3 games free if you buy the PSP GO! which is quite a deal before you realize that you can only choose from a selected list.
In conclusion, if you have many games for your PSP and if your old one is not in very good condition then I would stick with it for a while to see how it turns out, but if your a big gadget fan like myself then I would advise to get it since it is nice!

More Knives Production
So yesterday we went to film our short film, the production was delayed by an hour due to having a new actor last minute, and the sound on the camera messing up, we spent the first hour rehersing and fixing the problem on the camera.
But then we redeemed ourselves by speeding through it all straight away and actually ended with 1 and half to spare and even fitted in the lunch break on time.
Everything went smoothly and I can say the sound, lighting and framing were all very good.
When we were all very content with it all we came across something that wiped the smile straight off our face. The camera was not on HDV! we were too far into the production to have actually refilmed when we realized, we had a discussion with the director and producer and decided to continue with filming in DV.
When we met and discussed with Deborah Tuck she said that it was the right dicision but we were still total idiots for not realize which is too true!
We will learn from this and edit the film into something fantastic even if it is in DV!
production pictures will be up very soon.

Viral
I heard that This was clover viral or a games viral, not sure which one, but it looks good to me :)
Fairy Tail Revised
after watch a few more episodes, my opinions of this anime has gone down abit, due to the fact that I'm seeing alot of characters being copied from other animes.
In episode 4 theres a character in Fair Tail called "kageyama" the first thing that came to my head was that he looked like "Shikamaru" from Naruto.
I thought ok, fine theres characters that look alike, although there were very alike they still could be very different, but then when he used his powers, which were shadows, its the exact same as "Shikamaru"!
Also theres a character called "Loke" who looks very similar to "Ichigo" the main character of Bleach.
I mean its good to get influence but not to copy, uncool!

The Fourth Kind
The trailer looks quite good, and its based on real studies, not quite sure how it will be but I want to see it.
The fact that its supposed to be based on real events and footage intrigues me alot, although it seems its already had a lot of bad reviews from "Rotten Tomatoes" and "Metacritic" scoring "15% and 34%" respectively.

New Anime!
Theres a new anime series out called Fairy Tail and its really worth watching :) The drawing style quite similar to the old series "Rave Master" but I think the storyline is better.
They seems to have used some same characters from "Rave Master" in this new anime, which is quite nice to see for fans :)
Still not as good as the good old ones such as "bleach, One piece, Naruto! etc but I would recommend anime watchers to have a look into it :)

MALac filming
The filming in general was fine, but the lighting was tougher than we thought, we wanted a dim lighting to make the whole piece look spooky, but it might have been too dark, but it still looked pretty good at the end, heres some production pictures.
another problem that we had was the actors that we meant to be using were busy so me and james had to do the acting for it, which was fn in a way since we havent really acted before.
the editing is yet to be completed but I'll post once its done
