A demo shot of the London City Center in Getaway 3

First presented during the 2005 E5 convention The Getaway for the playstation 3 has been through its share of rough patches. The game boasts an unprecedented graphics and animation system which when coupled with the gritty storyline can only leave the player wanting more. Conforming to the previous principles of the game there are no major changes in the setting, it will still be closely centered around London and its outskirts. What is interesting however, is the means by which those settings, sceneries and interactions have been or will be altered.

Since the projected release date was announced there have been countless speculations, claming that the game has been canceled. And truthfully the project had actually been scrapped for a period of time. Fortunately for myself and the rest of humanity, as of June 2008 I think it was a Sony and Soho representative who stated that the game will again be pushed back into development.

According to a few primary sources, the game has been set to debut some time through 2010 with a plethora of new features. Let’s just hope they are correct because otherwise the north pole will be receiving a lot of hate mail this year.

Follow your god damn schedule!

It may only be me who is suffering from this but if you are planning on accomplishing your goals, it is unbelievably crucial to stick to your own schedule and set realistic time slots.  Even up to this point I still find myself spending too much time on things that aren’t that high on my priority list and as a result I’m constantly being forced to over work myself.

It’s one thing to say “Okay, I’ll start the book by 5pm, finish it by 7pm and move onto the cooking”, it’s a totally different game when you actually attempt to implement it. To be honest this post has been sitting in the process of being written for the last two weeks. I’ll usually work around it by telling myself there are too many things going on or that I don’t have time to focus on this right now. Let me tell you once and for all, that, that is total bullshit.

Luckily you have approximately 24 hours in a day, give or take actual scientific time. Although sleep and work progress is important there are ways by which you can emphasize and tweak both systems to work in accordance with each other. At the time of writing it is 1:51am GMT and I am laying in bed with the laptop placed on top of me. This isn’t technically correct because although I’m not currently sleeping I can feel the drowsiness coming on and this is for the most part due to the way my body is positioned. It has been scientifically proven that while awake if you are seated in a sleep type stance there is much higher chance that you will begin to feel drowsy and fatigued. If I get up now and walk around my house, maybe have a sandwich or two all those feelings of fatigue will disappear. For the most part at least.

Moving along to my original point, if you would like to get more work done and achieve the things you have been trying to achieve at the right time you must come to understand the way your body works. The body is an amazing thing, isn’t it? And everybody’s is slightly different, the differences are subtle but they are still there. For example between 3pm and 5pm is when the body basically takes an inside nap, hence making you feel slightly more tired and causing you to yawn etc.

The faster you come to terms with the way your body functions and at what rate, the more effective your set time slots will be. I’m not going to go into any further detail regarding tracking your body and figuring out at which times is it most efficient because well besides it making me feel unbelievably feminine, it’s 2:30am.

To conclude I would like to say that it is essential to set accurate and realistic schedules to center your work around. I don’t think I really mentioned above but for people like myself who run a bunch of different business’ and have multiple different jobs it is mandatory to create some sort of schedule to work by. Otherwise you will find yourself dealing with things at inappropriate times and increasing your overall stress and workload.

After some major delays due to host trouble and me falling into a coma, ProxyPier.com is finally back up and running. Besides some basic design issues everything is going to planned and youtube support is still strongly integrated.

I have finally been released!

You guys may have noticed that there have been absolutely no updates for the last month. This is primarily the cause of a serious brain/head and body injury that I sustained on May 27th . So here is how the story goes, keep in mind I have no exact recollection of the event or the week  in general so all of this information is from stories told by doctors, family and friends.

On May 27th I received a phone call from a close friend of mine informing me that I should come down to the local park. The time was about 8pm but nevertheless I decided to head off  as the time spent at home was becoming slightly dull.

I got dressed, picked up my skateboard and went off on a half mile skate to the park, during which it began raining, ergo causing the ground to become wet. Upon arrival and after some small talk I decided to apparently roll down a very steep and wet hill (not yet confirmed). Following this act of bravery and my 30 mp/h speed increase I decided to turn yet again into another hill. As I’ve been told the turn and the wet surface caused the actual skateboard to slip out and me to fall severely.

Falling backwards, my head and shoulder struck down  with intense impact and for no definitive reason I instantly got up walked about a foot and then dropped to an unconscious state. Friends, being the great people that they are automatically ran over and attempted to revive me back, unfortunately that was not the case. After about five minutes an ambulance was phoned and my parents were notified, resulting in them frantically driving 5 miles and running over to my location.

Ambulance arrived placed me in a stretcher and was required to push me all the way back up the hill to the entrance of the park .  Still unconscious, following a few vomiting and coughing blood incidents I arrived at my destination and was immediately escorted into the resuscitation ward . At this point, doctors and staff realize that something is severely wrong and after a few tests they determine the result.

As a result of the impact I’ve fallen into a coma which remains active for 6 days. There is also bleeding and incredibly high pressure in my brain. Life support is instantly attached, including breathing support, antacids and much more. To ensure my death doesn’t arrive as of yet, a hole is placed in my skull to further measure the pressure that is present. This is done by inserting a wire into my brain which is connected to a highly complex computer system.

A few more days pass and after several more near death events occur, signs of improvement begin to show. Towards the end of the sixth day my eyes begin to open and my brain commences its start up, unfortunately in a complete dream state. Upon waking up I manage to mutter two phrases which I still don’t know  what relate to. These being “I’m sorry” and “Back 180″, both directed at my mother. At first it was assumed that I was apologizing for the incident, however I had absolutely no recollection of it whatsoever. And back 180 could be referring to a skateboard trick or a time where significant things happened to humanity.

In the process of confirming my consciousness a few basic questions were asked, all of which I happened to get wrong and proceed to act slightly racist.

Questions and responses have been written below.

First Day

- What is your name?
No comment, what is yours?
- Where are you? Do you know where you are?
In a motel
Are you guys Russian?

- Another question which i can’t remember now.
*A slightly fowl mouthed response followed*

- When were you born?
1996

Second Day

- What is your name?
Eric
- Where are you at the moment?
In a school
- Where are you from?
Sydney, Australia

No more questions followed. A week past and I began to gradually come to my senses, laying in my hospital bed sleeping for 22 hours per day. As the second week arrived, I had officially been awaken and taken off injections, I could clearly (for the most part) communicate however I was still being transported in a wheelchair, haha. In which I was having a jolly good time and requesting speed increases.

A few more days went by and this is really when my brain started acting up. Amongst a plethora of other things constant hallucinations, premonitions and dream feelings were experienced. The first time I hallucinated it was seeing a huge jet plane perched on a staircase/fire escape out the window, a bunch of peculiar events followed that.

I have experienced De Ja Vu my entire life, simply put it’s defined as an overwhelming feeling that a specific event has already happen and been experienced. This would happen occasionally, perhaps once a month beforehand, it would entail me seeing a dream of some sort maybe a year prior then being involved in that exact same brief moment of the dream later on in life. Strange thing is I would encounter this about three times a day while I was in the hospital, it hasn’t stopped since I’ve been out but has decreased dramatically. I didn’t mind most of this because it made the hospital experience slightly more exciting.

During this time my violent side began to come out, not physically but mentally, I kept having the thought that I was attacked and started thinking that I had turned into the anti-christ. It may sound a tad unnerving now, but at the time I was actually quite happy and competent.  Luckily enough, my laptop was brought to me and a bunch of my good friends came down to visit, I guess that prevented the insanity from growing. Haha.

Finally and even up to this point, I feel like I’m still dreaming, the entire event seems like it has never actually happened and I should be waking up soon. Again, not a major bother to me  because for the most part my brain and body are back in order and improving steadily. I was actually released a few days ago and being able to come home has greatly impacted my emotional aspect, besides the uncontrollable laughter everything is looking up. Ha.

Slight problem is that I’m not allowed to drive or fly for a few months and I have to see a therapist/psychologist a couple of  times per week, which is quite an unpleasant experience (No offence).  Oh and the fact that I may experience seizures if I immediately undertake tasks that are strenuous or just out of the blue. However, I highly doubt this will be happening. As for mood levels I’ve been as cheerful as ever throughout this entire time, it has been a great experience for myself, maybe not for my loved ones, relatives or friends but otherwise I’ve been fairly content and have stumbled upon a truck load of laughs, haha.

Apart from the occasional brain twitches, I’m feeling fine. Unfortunately, doctors don’t see it the same way and have notified me that I’m expected to make a full recovery by late August or early September, I’m quite confident it will arise prior to that however.

Strangely enough, the good news is that I feel a lot stronger physically and a lot more intelligent than I was before the accident. I’m able to remember events  that occurred 12 years ago so clearly and vividly that it feels as if they happened yesterday. I have a much higher will to read and learn topics of interest to me.  So I guess the theory stands true, good things DO occur from bad things.

Thanks for the read, this article has been very mildy summarized due to short term memory problems however if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Cheers
Eric

According to my research Facebook now gets a hundred or so million visitors more per day than Myspace does. This is unfortunate because, I was one of the first to actually establish a myspace and have loved it ever since.

Can’t deny the fact that Facebook is improving daily.

There is a mafia 2 beta circling the internet and being downloaded from popular torrent websites. I fell victim to this, so I’m just letting you guys know that it’s a fake. It’s in the form of a .zix file which is a major hassle to open. After opening the file you are presented with over 4gb of errors and useless content, none of which works.

Just a heads up, if you want the beta wait a little longer for czech to release it.

“Today, the new bundle (ebook and video guide) was released. The course created by Eric Roberts demonstrates never before revealed methods of traffic generation.

Through torrents, that is. The book is fairly thorough and goes into quite a bit of detail regarding each section. Following the guide I infact did receive a decent amount of traffic overnight but I only tried it with one torrent.

The video guide which is included with the book is a little bit short but otherwise not too bad at all.

In my opinon for $9.99 (introductory price), it is a must have.”

You can purchase the guide at Torrent Traffic .com

Actually listen to what you’re saying

Being a blogger and a writer I find myself giving others advice on how to achieve certain things. Before the estblishment of this site, I had another blog I was running, which I won’t disclose as of now. It was primarily based around the same niche of “Online Business and Website Development”, so I pretty much wrote out thousands of words worth of website promotion methods, backlink building and even potential marketing tactics. 

The thing is, a lot of what I was writing was just regurgitated knowledge that had been left at the back of my brain to rot. For the most part I never actually did any of the things I told other people to do and although they work great in theory and have proved successful in the past, I seem to forget a lot of what I’m saying.

The reason why this post came about is because I have  a few new website projects that I’m trying to get off the ground  and I couldn’t think of any new innovative ways to promote them and then hit me.  ”Hey, Eric”, I said to myself “Why don’t you read over your previous posts, I’m sure you had some valuable information buried amongst the midst of all that text”.

To put it simply I’m going to start listening to myself and I believe you should to. If you have a theory or an idea, put it into practice and see how it turns out. Don’t sit back and preach your theory, because although you may be sitting on a goldmine you could just as likely be sitting on a dud. I remember a while back I wrote a post on the methods I use to promote my websites, it was fairly successful because I really believed I knew what I was talking about (not to say I was wrong), I’m going to go back and investigate my ancient thoughts and see how it all pans out.

You might aswell buy a new iPhone

This is the first in the series of 10 minute posts, they are going to be short, sweet and identify an issue I’m facing.  The truth behind iPhone repairs is that they are highly overpriced, if you are unfortunate enough to break your iPhone LCD or crack your screen, then you can be out upwards $200. Some places even refuse service and require you to purchase a brand new iPhone. 

Fortunately for me my one came back from the shop today in relatively mint condition. It still has the prominant scratches of me digging into it with my knife triyng to pop the LCD out. Oh well, all in good fun I guess.  Basically, what I’m trying to say is iPhone repairs are through the roof and I can see why. It’s a major hassle fixing it yourself and honestly just pay the extra $200 and get it repaired professionally. 

Speaking of iPhones it seem as though today was the day that the App store hit it’s 1 billionth download, yes. That is 9 zeros. Ridiculous, just think how much money they are making!

Fast, Free and Youtube Supported

A lot of long hard work has gone into the product of ProxyPier.com, many hours have been spent altering code, creating designs and cursing over mistakes. Well, today I’m here to present to you the Proxy which I’m glad to call my own. With a handful of new features and compatibility plugins, a new generation of Proxy is here.

(Unfortunately, due to recent hosting issues, the proxy has currently been down for about a month. This issue will be resolved very shortly, sorry guys)

Youtube Supported Proxy

The nice design compliments the overall performance of the site, it has a simple web 2.0 look with a big search bar at the top. Google Adsense is conveniently blended with the site and is easy to reach for those hard earned clicks. As of now the site is more or less compatible with all major social network sites INCLUDING Youtube.

The thing that makes ProxyPier so unique is that it has absolutely no pop up or pop under ads, thus making browing that much faster. From what I’ve heard, from myself. The Pier network of proxies is currently in production which now includes OnlinePier.com

In conclusion, if you are looking for a fast, effective and youtube supported proxy, then ProxyPier.com is the site for you. Remember, if you encounter any problems whatsoever, make sure to let me know and I’ll get it sorted as soon as I can.
