What is wrong with Windows Live Messenger 9?
January 16, 2009
I download the latest update of windows live messenger from the official website and I have a problem, it takes a long time to sign in and when it eventually does my contact list is missing. I try to import my contact list from file and it won’t work either, I can’t even re-add people. I looked on the Microsoft website for help and it says to clear your contacts folder which I have done and still no luck. If I revert back to 8.5 my contact list is there so its not my PC. Shoddy work Microsoft why don’t you test it fully before releasing it? I know I am not the only one as a google search showed other people having the problem, I expect this from the BETA version but not the final. If anyone can solve my problem please comment on this blog, thanks.
Condemned 2

Xbox 360 cover Condemned 2
Just bought Condemned 2 on ebay for 11 pounds which though was pretty good. Checked out the trailers and stuff and I think it looks like a pretty great game, it got high review scores and was praised for it’s atmosphere aswell so it should be worth the money. The game is developed by Monolith Productions and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, I got the Xbox 360 version. The game features bare-fisted hand-to-hand combat, combat with melee weapons, and first person shooting. The game also has adventure game elements in the forensic investigation of crime scenes. A demo is currently available on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace if you want to check it out.
Here is some in game footage rather than a trailer.
Skate is hard, Skate 2 is coming.

Skate 2 Xbox 360 cover.
Picked up skate. the other week for 360 and it really is one of the hardest games I’ve played, don’t get me wrong its a great game, lovely graphics, great control it’s just so difficult to get used to and master, although it’s still worth the buy if your interested in skateboarding. Also the new skate, skate 2 will be released in North America on January 21, 2009 and in the PAL region on January 23, 2009. Sounds even better than the first, one of the things I’m liking the sound of most is that you can know get off the skateboard so you can easily get up steps and also that you can move basically anything that isn’t nailed down, which you can jump over and use in your videos, I will be getting my copy when I can.
