Sitting here on a Sunday afternoon and im rather bored so I decided to write an entry to my ever so popular blog. Last week I released my October mix a month late, so thats now out there without any album artwork mainly because I have the PSD for my monthly mixes and Photoshop on my other computer, which is still not stable enough to run yet might I add. I have no idea what I’m going to do about that, I still have yet to get a response back from ASUS so I am just waiting now. The artwork for the October and the upcoming November mix will be here soon though, I will fire the computer up and get the PSD file and transfer it over before it crashes sometime next week. Also my radio show is still going to happen, please be patient! I have been working with the guys from NERadio and we are just working out a few more details before things go live, stay tuned and keep checking my website and the NERadio time schedule!

Last week I also went to go and see Ghosttown, which if you don’t know is Ricky Gervais’ new full length feature film. Personally I thought it was a really good film, I didnt expect it to be a really funny film which was the right attitude to take when I went in to see it, its more of a romantic comedy type thing and it was suprisingly good. The Office and The Extras are better if you want a good laugh from Ricky. Also the Odeon cinema near me has the best ice cream stand ever might I add, also pick and mix is expensive.

Also I have been playing the Left4Dead demo this weekend, and so far I have been slightly dissapointed about it. The core gameplay is repetative but good at first, I will have to wait and see the other maps before making my mind up about that one. The director AI is decent but its limited on how it can change the map so it doesnt add as much replay value as I figured it would. Multiplayer on the other hand is impossible to play in its current state, mainly because of the server browser. The game uses a Xbox360 type game matching system but it has some serious flaws, and ignores pings in its currnet build so you can get grouped with people in Africa and it doesnt even matter. Also certain people can’t host games, the host lags up FPS wise and if they have a bad internet connection it makes it even more impossible then it already was to play. Yet the matchmaking system still allows you to be put into games with laggy people, because theres not enough dedicated servers to go around. It needs some serious filtering options to be good otherwise multiplayer pugging wont be fun at all.

Heres my list of what they need to do to make Left4Dead good:

• Add strict filtering options to the matchmaking system.
• Add a server browser, give people the option between the two.
• Fix the listen server hosting lag if possible.
• Make having a dedicated server worth it, so people actually buy them.
• Reduce the price, make it more in line with the price of the Orange Box.

Also heres a video for you of the first stage of Left4Dead.

This isnt my usual type of mix, and its very delayed so I appologize for this one guys. I have been very busy working with quite a few diffrent projects that I havnt gotten around to posting up the October mix. This mix is a bit shorter then usual and is a lot more laid back then my other mixes but don’t worry! The full hour and a half long mixes will be back in late November. Keep on the look out for my radio show coming soon aswell! Also the artwork for this mix is tempoary, the real one will be coming soon. Tracklist & Download link below!

I havnt really posted an update in a few weeks, but just to let you all know things are going ok finally. I have a job interview with Royal Mail sometime this week which will hopefully score me a Christmas position, which I will be able to use to fund my trip to America! I plan on going very early next year around January and I will definetly post a ton of photographs up when I get back! The lame thing about my job is that I will be working the second shift, which for those who don’t know its around 2pm until 10pm. I would prefer something like 4pm until midnight, but I suppose I will have to negotiate with the employee to see if that would be possible.

In regards to my radio show, well its hopefully still going to happen. I have been doing guest shows every now and then and I have one coming up tomorrow if I remember rightly. The times and dates will be posted when they become availible to me. I have been working closely with the people from neradio.se and they seem very interested, so time will tell! I have also done a few new mixes for Digitally Imported which you should hear very soon, the mix I did with DJ Bluecore is still yet to play, and I did the second installment of Jimocore v2, so stay tuned for that! And for all of you trance nutters, I will be finishing of my October mix and my November mix VERY soon, so you will have two mixes to listen to!

I didnt want to turn this into a rant post but I suppose im going to, because I feel typeing my anger and frustration towards this would be a good idea. But does anyone else out there have troubles buying gifts for Christmas/Birthdays? I love the season, but I would like to let it be known I am all jolly and happy until I decide to go shopping. There is one person in the entire world I can buy gifts for, other then that person its almost impossible. Last year I even forgot my mums birthday which was really embarassing… I wind up going into the town centre, looking around and getting frustrated over things because I can’t decide on anything. I sat in Starbucks most of the night on Christmas eve last year just trying to think of places to go. But anyway, enough of that! Its my birthday soon, hooray!

And I almost forgot, my website is still getting updated. I will definetly be making changes this week seeing as I finally got my motherboard back from ASUS. I will finally be able to use Photoshop and get of my dads terrible machine! Hopefully everything works ok!

Anyway theres my update for this week, be on the look out for a live show tomorrow! If you need to contact me feel free to leave a comment or to e-mail me at jimo@jimo.co.uk I will leave you with an awsome video of Barney
