So I've decided to get my own hosting and make my own WordPress blog, rather than using the Blogspot site. This way I can customise it a bit more and host files easier. Right now I'm in the middle of my finals exams (final one on Thursday), but once they're done I'll be working on getting the new blog online ASAP. The address will still be www.burkazoid.com, but I'll be sure to write on here again once its online.
EDIT: Its online now!

Sky Surfer XNA v0.91b Source Code
So here it is, the project I've been working on (on and off) for the last 4 months or so. At the moment I've only uploaded the source for XNA, as I'm having some issues getting it to deploy to a fully compiled setup file and I don't have time to deal with those issues for a short while. So in the mean time, if you have XNA Game Studio Express, here's Sky Surfer. The music has been omitted for copyright reasons, but the sound and every other resource is included:
A readme file is included with the necessary credits for now. These will eventually be integrated into the main menu. I also need to get round to changing movements so they are frame-time reliant (ie if it lags it won't affect the game so detrementally, nor will an uber fast computer affect it in the opposite way). This version only supports 1280x720 resolution and requires an Xbox 360 Controller. Keyboard and multi-resolution will come in a future release. Anyway, if anyone has any feedback please let me know.
PS. This solution was saved in the latest XNA GSE (1.0 refresh). The game is fully compatible with the original 1.0 GSE, but I'm not sure if GSE will allow the file to load if its from a newer version.

Sky Surfer on its way..
So, Sky Surfer and its associated thesis was completed in the early hours on Friday morning. All that remains is for me to thoroughly comment the code, and when I do I'll be putting up some videos, as well as releasing the source code and binaries here.
I can't say I worked hard over the weekend on doing the commenting, as I was due a welcome break. So I mostly spent the weekend having a few social drinks and playing plenty of games with a sweet LAN setup of Xbox 360s at a mate's house.
Game of the weekend was most definitely Halo 2. Oh and I also got a great trade in deal at GameStop and got Kororinpa [Wii], Deus Ex [PS2] and Crackdown [360]. More games to add to that Summer Games list. Just 2 exams between me and shedloads of gaming.
