New Harry Potter trailer

Hey guys. Just today a new Harry Potter trailer for the new movie was released. It is actually the last Harry Potter trailer ever so I had high expectations for it. It goes for around 2 and a half minutes and is actually a good watch. Got me pretty excited about the movie which isn't too far away! Its a pretty epic and intense trailer. Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I did! I don't want to spoil it for you either ;)

Star Wars

As you can probably tell by the address of this blog (droidsimlookingfor) I'm a bit of a Star Wars fan! Growing up, my dad who is a Star Wars lover himself used to show me the Star Wars movies. As a young child, I didn't really think much of the movies and the story behind it. Guys with Red sabers were bad and guys with blue or green were good guys.

I have owned many toy lightsabers in my childhood, usually hitting everything I can with them. As I grew up and the prequels were made, I started to actually understand what was going on in the series. My love for Star Wars grew.

Last year, a few mates and I sat down at my house and enjoyed a 14 or so hour Star Wars marathon. Episodes 1-6... It was so epic! I enjoyed it so much, one of the best days of my life

Also, recently I have built my own lightsaber!!! Its made out of metal and has a strong LED light which goes up a blade. Cost me a fair bit (over $200 AUD) but its completely worth it. It even has sound.

I will go into detail about my saber later on. Ill do a series of blogs about my saber and how I made it etc.. I'm sure you guys will enjoy it.

It all ends soon...


Like many people my age, I've grown up reading the books and watching the films. It's become part of my life and it all comes to an end in a month. Like many around the world, I've read every book and watched every movie. I've watched the actors grow up and shared their experiences. But it all ends soon.

I have actually scored a ticket to the midnight launch of the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 which is something I'm extremely excited about. I know what is going to happen since I've read the book at least 3 times but I just want to see how they put the movie together and end the series.

I don't know how I will feel when the movie ends. I will be filled with joy knowing that every movie has been made but I will also be filled with sadness knowing that there are no more movies and this is really the end.

I'd like to say thank you to J.K Rowling for thinking of this marvelous story. Also to Warner Bros. for making the movies. But I'd most like to thank Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and all the other brilliant actors who have brought the story to life.

I truly cannot wait to see the movie!

Greatest player of all time?

Roger Federer currently has 16 Grand Slam titles to his name, holds the record for the longest time as world number one (237 consecutive weeks) and an Olympic Gold medalist. Federer also has over 60 world records relating to his tennis career. This is all extremely impressive, but is Federer the greatest of all time?

Federer is currently 29 years of age and ranked number 3 in the world. Many players his age drop a significant amount in the world rankings. Federer is 4 years older than Rafael Nadal and 5 years older than Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray who are his biggest rivals. Its amazing how he can keep up his quality of tennis against his younger rivals.

Debate has broken out recently about who is actually a better tennis player than Federer. Names like Pete Sampras, Rod Laver, John Mcenroe, Bjorn Borg, Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal were all suggested. All the players above have been some of the greatest tennis players the world has ever seen. But is one of them better than Federer?

In my opinion, Federer is the greatest player in history. Modern tennis is a tougher and more demanding game than it used to be. For Federer to still be playing at the level he is now is simply extraordinary.

What do you guys think? Who is the greatest tennis player in history?

Man Vs Wild Vs Spader

This man right here has got to be one of the most insane people on the planet. Bear Grylls is a man that I love, he knows his shit. I dont think I could be dropped into the wilderness and survive for even a few days. I currently have every episode on my computer and am planning on having a Man Vs Wild marathon. Of course I'll start with season one, two etc...

So tell me (if you follow his TV show) What is your favourite Bear Grylls moment? Mine would have to be when Bear and his crew are walking through a narrow train tunnel and the train ends up coming up behind them. I think it is the only time when you see his camera crew running away from something dangerous. He and his crew only just made it out. Pretty intense stuff

Skyrim!

Alright guys, its officially 153 days till the release of Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Just to let you know, I do enjoy playing video games :P
I am extremely looking forward to this game as I loved the previous installent Oblivion. Actually, not much has been said about the game. I know that the dragons in the game aren't scripted and will attack anything which is pretty goddamn awesome. The graphics look pretty sweet as well. Bethesda really have done alot of hard work on the graphics. Every little detail can be seen. But the best part about this game in my opinion is the 300 hour game time. I read somewhere that there is OVER 300 hours of gameplay packed into the one game. Thats Insane! (Not sure if this has been confirmed yet though).I guess after 11.11.11 I will not be seen for weeks if you catch my drift :P
Should definitely be a contender for game of the year.
I will write more blogs when more info is released!
