Been a while since I've updated, so I've got alot to say. Summer has been filled with all sorts of little joys.
Going on from my previous entry, once I arrived in England, the whole family had a big get together, as many of us would be disappearing for quite a long time (me heading back to Canada, my brother going to Japan, and my cousin going off to Germany as part of foreign languages thing). Since my brother is going off to Japan, and can only take so much stuff with him, he decided to give me his PS3, with all his games and Blu-rays. Score!
Unfortunately, it seems my current TV isn't actually compatible with it, which makes it about as valuable to me as a paperweight.
Also, I bought Fallout 3, and fell in love with it. I also bought Broken Steel and The Pitt for it, which I've found to both be very enjoyable. I've also had tremendous fun with G.E.C.K, the editor for the game, to which I've been getting better at, although I have yet to fully master scripting.
Also, my brother pointed my attention to >this< a few days ago. I used to play WoW from about the start of 2008 till about April this year, when I just got too bored of it and left. Theres only so much you can squeeze out of the old content, and the end game content showed how lazy Blizzard is getting (though I do like Wintergrasp, they're seige PvP area). However, it looks like they're finally doing something about the old, obsolete story from way back when the game went live and putting in a new story. I have to say, I'm looking forward to this. I imagine a fair number of people here will curse me for saying that
Can't think of anything else for now, so thats it.

They're about as useful as that when they do work, too.
Fallout 3 is awesome =D
Make sure you get the explorer perk when you hit level 20.
Yeh, when I had hit 20 I did go for that perk, since I'm too lazy to find the locations manually. The only place I haven't explored now is the exterior of Vault 87, which due to radiation was made impossible. I actually managed to push through eventually, using an Advanced Radiation Suit, tons of Rad-X and even more RadAway. Must have blown some 30-40 Radaway covering the short distance to the vault entrance, only to find the door was bloody inaccessible. Of course, I couldn't fast travel out as more Super Mutants showed up to attack me, and I ended up getting killed when I ran out of RadAway.
But wow, your family is all over the place, isn't it?
If your TV has a coaxial cable port, the kind that connects your television to the wall (which there's 99% chance in which it does, the other 1% is for ones with only rabbit ears...), then you can use the PS3 with it.
What you would need is an RF Modulator, which you can get from a store like Radioshack. You would also need the component (Red/Yellow/White) cable that connects to the PS3. You'll probably also need about 3 feet of coaxial cable as you have to feed your wall coaxial through the RF Modulator, then from the modulator to the TV.
If for whatever reason the console didn't come with one, I would reccommend getting a Universal Component video cable. That way you should be able to use the same cable with most of the systems and pretty much any TV.
To give you an idea of what they typically look like and the general price range...
