Project For Awesome 2010 (National Autistic Society)

Hey everyone

This entry I was meant to do yesterday but saved it for today and it is about the Project For Awesome 2010. I have taken part in the Project For Awesome for the last 4 years and I have always supported the charity "National Autistic Society" which is very close to my heart

Here is my video



I really like the ending to the video with Ruby. What a dog.

I also found out that the National Autistic Society did a video for the Project For Awesome which is fantastic.

Here is theirs



Which I am so happy about

I also did an audioboo talking about the Project For Awesome.



I think this is fantastic, the Project For Awesome and hope it comes back for a fifth year. About to get some rest, so then I can watch the Live show at Midnight my time.

Take care and as John Green would say "Best Wishes"

Hey everyone

I love this game a lot.

The graphics and gameplay are brilliant but it is really hard to play.

It is a brilliant challenge that makes you come back for more

5/5 overall.

The music in the titles is "Enter The Party" from Incomptech.com which is a royalty free site.

This is my entry for today and enjoy

Bazzerspot is coming back and with Audioboo again.

Hey guys

Its been a long time since I last did a blog entry and decided to bring it back with some audioboos of today

First of all I have noticed some people I know have started to write blogs again which is brilliant and sometimes when you see someone doing something you aint been done in a while and you used to do that. You actually want to get back into the groove of things.



Here is an eariler of today update I did



Before I go I have to admit I was surprised about how my latest review of Gran Turismo 5 is going and I noticed some of the big video game websites havent released a video review of the game which shocks me, ah well. At least I was able to do before them only once which is cool.

Here is the review



Take it easy everyone and speak soon

TV Is overrated, Bath Spa Gathering (21st of August) and other updates.

Hey Guys

Oh yeah sorry for the quiet levels on my audioboo must have covered the mic or was far away.



BATH SPA GATHERING (21st of August 2010)

Facebook Group link is here - Facebook Page for the Gathering

We will be meeting at Bath Spa train station at 12:30 and then we will wait a bit just in case for others to arrive. Around 1:00 we will do lunch if people need because some may have travelled a long way to get to the gathering. Then after that we will see what happens

I will be arriving a couple of hours eariler and if you want to contact me for saying if you are arriving late.

My e-mail address for contacting me about the gathering is Barry832003@googlemail.com

Thats the information for the gathering done.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Video Review) & GetFeaturedUK (AudioBoo)

Hey Guys

Got a mixture entry today with a video review and an audioboo

The first one is my latest game review of Super Mario Galaxy 2 and I have to say it is totally.

Super Mario Galaxy 2​ is a platforming video game developed by Nintendo for the Wii.

The game's levels are galaxies filled with minor planets and worlds. While its gameplay is based on that of its predecessor, the game was updated with gravity effects and new power-ups. It is the fourth original 3D platformer in the Mario series, after Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. Upon its release, Super Mario Galaxy 2 met with critical acclaim, and it has been listed as one of the highest-rated video games ever

This is one of the best games I have ever played. The creativity of the game is off the charts and gives Nintendo the edge. The mix of 2D and 3D is fantastic.

I give this game 5 out of 5. Best game of the year so far and could be overall by the end of the year.



The second part of this entry is about GetFeaturedUK

I did an audioboo talking about GetFeatured set up by DoctorBenjy, CheekTV and Jack from OMFGItsJackandDean



Please also check out this video by Benjy, Gary and Jack


Thats all today

Face 2 Face is Back with Mr Buchanan, Old Memories (AudioBoo)

Hey Guys Its been a long time since I did a written blog and was going to be audio at first but thought nah I couldn't do it written.

First of all FACE 2 FACE is back -

Its with a youtuber by the name of MrBuchananToYou who I think is a fantastic vlogger and makes brilliant points within his videos.

OK onto the story of how it happenend I saw that Kris did some brilliant vlogs ranging from Politics and what is going on in Youtube so I thought I will contact him and he accepted which was brilliant.

I was going getting the questions together and send them to Kris then a week later I got his footage back and everything was going smoothly then a problem got in with the audio going wrong later in the footage but lucky though it wasnt a difficult problem to solve then I put Kris's footage on another site then converted into another file type that helped the audio better when it was going wrong.

It was weird that it played normal with no problems in Windows Media Player but when in my editing software it was unpredictable but anyway I was able to do it right and I replaced the audio from the original file that Kris send me and it took some time to put the audio syncing with the video but I did it.

Thanks again Kris.

Like Kris said in his interview about his future that the only way Im going to stop making youtube videos is when I treat it like a chore.

The next part is an audioboo where I mention talking about old memories

Double AudioBoo (Eminem Album, Oasis, England in Last 16 and Youtube winning lawsuit over Viacom)

Hey guys

The second one is talking about the brilliant day not only with the World Cup and Youtube winning over Viacom



OK I hope I havent taken too much time.

Also I did a video response yesterday about Defending Video Games that came from Charlieissocoollike.

Here is Charlie's video


Here is my response although it isnt much of a response


Anyway thats all I got today

West Country Gathering???

OK I have been thinking about a gathering around the summer time and I know there are loads of them coming up in London that include Summer In The City. There is also Vidcon coming up soon and sadly I cant attend any of them because of work and money, I know lame excuses right but can't be helped.

I feel there is a lot of gatherings happening in London and I felt it needs a different location and I always loved the West Country and thinking of doing one in August especially the 21st when I am off work.

I was chatting to my friend Gears and thinks Bristol is best and Im sort of on Bath after our discussion but who knows.

Here's my audioboo explaining the same thing but also little factors.



Thats all for now

Hey Guys

This blog is going to be in 2 parts.

Part 1 is my thoughts on the E3 Sony Press Conference from Audioboo

Prototype Review (Playstation 3)

This is a review of Prototype on the Playstation 3 also available on PC and Xbox 360

Prototype is an action-adventure video game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Activision.

Prototype website - http://www.prototypegame.com/us/index...

The game is set in New York City, where a virulent plague is spreading through Manhattan. Those infected are mutated into hideous monsters. The United States Marine Corps, under the command of the black ops organization BlackWatch, is dispatched to contain it, putting the entire island under quarantine. At the center of it is the protagonist, Alex Mercer, a shapeshifter with no memory of his past. Alex has the ability to absorb other individuals, taking on their biomass, memories, experiences, and physical forms. Through this process, Alex comes to remember his own past and the secret behind the virus infecting Manhattan and him. Alex can also shapeshift into more specialized forms for attack, defense or sensory enhancement. All of these together are intended to give players multiple ways to complete their objectives. Parallel to the game's storyline is the ability to play the game as a sandbox-style video game giving the player freedom to roam Manhattan.

Good points
Some of the graphics
Alex Mercer
Cool superpowers

Bad points
Graphics
Too many enemies to fight at once

The Opening Music came from http://www.incompetech.com/ and the track is called "Enter The Party"

Hip Hop Music - Thank You & RIP Guru

Hey everyone

I thought I would do a blog post to say I love Hip Hop Music I know this may surprise a lot of people but it doesnt surprise me that people would think that.

Hip Hop music influenced me to come up with Real Name No Gimmicks at the beginning of my videos. How did this come about some of you asked and I mentioned it a long time but thought I will mention it again.

I was getting ready to go to a Kanye West gig in Brighton in November 2007 and then I was listening to a lot of hip hop and then suddenly it came from this song done by Obie Trice listen between 0:22 to 0:38 of this video -

Here are the lyrics just in case -

Yeah, Obie Trice, real name no gimmicks
I came in the game, profane no image
I came in the game, with a name
I was given from a mayn who ain't give a fuck about his child-ren
I proclaim the name though, never in vain no

Thats how Real Name No Gimmicks came out of me and became a catchpharse to people on Youtube. So I thank Hip Hop music for giving me that to help me with that but also with confidence that while people say Hip Hop music creates negativity which the media say, I felt it creates something more positive apart from people who talk about guns and knives with no moral lesson to learn from.

Hip Hop music gave me the courage to become more upfront in certain ways of expressing opinions although people may try to shut me down sometimes and they are right to but other times I feel I need to make a stand against others and I never back down.

Like for example I was talking about Summer In The City in one of my blog entries where I said I felt I went to much better gatherings than that one and while someone came to me to say their points, I still stood by my points and understood a couple of points that someone was coming back at me with. Now Im listening to it again It gives me more courage to not give a flying toss about haters but anyone who has something constructive to say then I will listen to what they have to say and then give my point if I feel if there is something I can say back.

THANK YOU HIP HOP MUSIC

OK onto the second topic I want to talk about and what made me want to write this blog about thanking Hip Hop music for giving me the real name no gimmicks catchpharse.

Today a rapper by the name of Guru passed away. Guru had been battling with cancer for over a year and I will admit it was the first time I heard about it, maybe it was because I lost the passion to listen to Hip Hop because of corporations bleeding the genre dry or I lost interest in a lot of web sites and focused on my youtube. Its always sad to hear about someone passing away through cancer and to someone who voiced his true opinions about the music, its sad to hear they passed away.

He was part of the Rap Duo Gang Starr with producer DJ Premier (one of the best producers in Hip Hop music ever). Guru was one of those rappers who made me think about life instead of the darker stuff that was happening. He had a flow that was very unique to other rappers I heard and one of the best yet. I got into Gang Starr/Guru really late and the first album I heard was "Full Clip: A Decade Of Gang Starr"

Even his longtime partner Solar said to MTV "The world has lost one of the best MCs and hip-hop icons of all-time — my loyal best friend, partner, and brother, Guru,"

Guru was one of those rappers that made you think about situations that was going on with the world that doesnt revolve around death.

I remember hearing some stuff from an old album done by Sway & King Tech "This Or That" that there are two rules that rappers should look into

1) Think about what you are saying on wax (Record) that any rapper will say whatever they want to gain publicity

The second one is something that youtubers have talked about in the past

2) Selling out by jumping into a suits and listening to the label and getting told what to do.

This is where I felt that respected Gang Starr a lor more after hearing that intro on Sway & King Tech's album. What I mean is artists mainly mainstream some of them will say anything they want to get attention and make it in the industry. Thats where I learned the word Beef and how artists would compete with each other.

Im going off topic

Guru you will be missed, may you rest in peace, my heart goes out to his family, friends, DJ Premier and Solar who lost a great person.

Here is a selection of my favourite Guru/Gang Starr videos including a freestyle he did with FaithSFX someone that NSG knows.















I will like to say Guru you will be missed by a lot of people that you have influenced with your music and thanks for making me understand that life should be something important and not think about death when I was teenager.

This track dropped onto Youtube yesterday and it was a track done by BOB featuring Eminem & Hayley Williams from Paramore. This is a great track that is about imaging if they were thinking about what could happen.



I may include Hip Hop tracks more in the future for my blogs. Take it easy everyone and have a great night.

Hows my life going? (14th April)

Hey Guys

Its been some time since my last entry and it was Good Friday when I did a quick one for World Autism Awareness Day and I felt really happy with how that video turned out in the end. Got great support from people including Gary (CheekTV), CheekyChen, Pixonu, Liliesarelike (Charlie Mcdonnell's Mum), John Green and lot more people showing support for the video.

This is a huge thanks to everyone watching and leaving a comment. I did have an e-mail from someone who produced a website called Autism151. They contacted me yesterday asking if they could put my video onto their site and I said yes.

I am now on the site with the video and you can go here Autism151 Website

Its really good that someone from a site contacted me and loved what I did for WAAD. I love that.

OK another point I want to bring up the previous blog entry called "Daveyboyz & Barry Aldridge in Brighton (August 2008) & Conflict/Beef" I received a comment from Nerimon asking me a question "Can 'Squash That Beef' be the motto of the YouTube community?", now I think this could be a good idea as while I dont get involved with things going on but I feel there should a message to say there are people including me tired hearing about conflicts among the community.

So yeah Im with Nerimon on this one. I think that DFTBA Records should sell the T-shirt if they think it is a good idea. Probably wont be but who knows.

Right back to my life, yesterday my mate Arron came round for a visit to see me and we had a blast. Played on a few games including Rock Band 2 and Beatles Rock Band and that was fun.

We tried to come up with a number of video ideas but we were able to do one idea that I wanted to do for a while and it was doing an MTV Crib spoof video.



I do a crib one a long time ago and felt it is hard to watch nowadays so I privated that video and a new Youcrib video.

I got the idea from NSG who did one back in December



Now onto how the video was made. The beginning bit with the outside was Arron's idea and I told him what to say and thats it and then the rest was uncut and it was 10 minutes long once we finished filming and had to take out bits where I rambled on about certain stories which werent funny so I took them out and it made the final video better. To have background music was Arron's idea as well, as he remembers the days of MTV Cribs which is cool. Some people have said the music is a bit loud at certain points but hey its a learning curve.

I started to do Doctor Who reviews a couple of weeks ago and I have to say Im having fun doing them.





I am going to continue with this as I am having fun doing them. I cant wait til Saturday's episode with the Winston Churchill and The Daleks.

Before I go I have bought a load of PS3 games and thought I would what I think quickly

Yakuza 3 - Great game with a great storyline but can be boring at times
Just Cause 2 - Fun and over the top action game, controls can be a problem
Brutal Legend - Funny game but takes time to get used to
Bioshock 2 - Need to play more haha

OK Im done and hope there is more blogs to come.

OK Bye

World Autism Awareness Day 2010 - Today I stand up for Autism

Hey Guys

Have a great Easter weekend everyone.

Daveyboyz & Barry Aldridge in Brighton (August 2008) & Conflict/Beef

Hey Guys

Im at NSGs at the moment just chilling out and its around half 7 in the morning and feel good. OK good news for me is that Davey unprivated our collab we did in Brighton which I found funny to do.



It was a shame that Davey privated it after it was uploaded because a lot of my family got the joke and some youtubers got the joke. They were some who didnt get it because of the humour and they are good friends of mine which is cool, then there were some who didnt get it maybe because of jealously that I got to work with Davey which some of my friends think and they could be right.

Davey if you read this PLEASE DONT UNPRIVATED THE VIDEO. I know you get worried with public conscience but FUCK THAT if you like what we did keep it up. I know I had some issues with you at one point but I let it go and thats how we were able to do a Face 2 Face. I feel Im getting too old to get into beef with other youtubers to me its more laughable seeing other youtubers arguing over things.

Oh yeah I have heard about and read DoctorBenjy's blog about the state of Youtube of what he thinks, Nerimon's comments to the blog in the comments and Tom Milsom's reponse to Benjy's blog on his website. I will say I am not going to get involved with my views. I only got caught with reading them on Tuesday while they were posted last Thursday because of doing with Tescos between that time period.

To me any situation of conflict or the word I like Beef nowadays is considered laughable because it reminded of me beefing with others when I was younger while I took seriously when I was younger nowadays I consider it more of a laugh and look back in the time and just say how stupid we were. Some of the beefs I had in the past have been squashed or moved on but at least they got resolved.

I know that some people one day when they had an issue with someone either in real life or on the internet will either a) squash their situation or b) move on from the situation and get on with life. Thats the two outcomes of any situation that involves conflict.

OK moving on to the final talk.

I always love it when BillTVMacon comes out with something good. Hes one of my favourite youtubers



OK Got to go Im about to fall off NSG's chair haha.

Peace

Barry

Social Network Break is going excellent, Youtube Community Videos and Yakuza 3

Hey guys

Since my post I havent used Twitter in 5 days and its really good and Im kinda of glad to as well. I have been on a couple of twitter pages offline just to check on Game and Gaming deals which sort of breaks it but I havent left a tweet in that long so it still counts in my view.

Anyway I feel a lot more refreshed without Twitter, Dailybooth and Formspring at the moment as they arent the most important thing in the world. Real life and work have become more important at the moment. I may come back but at the moment will have to wait and see.

OK I did the video response to AaronCast86's question about I found the Youtube Community a few days early but I got it done.



Also a few other people have done responses to Aaron which is great to hear all the different stories.

DrakeSizzle


Katrina aka Walllofweird


YourAverageAdam


There are many other videos that talk about this which you can look at and there are loads of different stories on this topic and its great.

I may go and see NSG this week as I have been meaning to for a while since I last saw him in October for the launch of his DJ Hero in an exclusive showcase. I always love going to see NSG as one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Defintely good times.

I have decided to buy Yakuza 3 on the PS3 which is awesome because it looks a really fun game judging on what you can do and it has a different feel to other open world games like Grand Theft Auto.



Im excited to play this game, it has been out in Japan for a year and the fourth game came out in Japan a week after the third game was released over here in the UK. So im excited about that if it makes a release and if I like the third game.

Finally I have been watching Fantastic Mr Fox a lot lately on Blu-Ray and it is one of my favourite films ever.

OK time to end it

Barry

Taking Holidays from Social Network Sites, God Of War III and Another Response Coming

Hey guys

The other day I reached a decision that I may take a holiday from Twitter and Dailybooth. I will never use Formspring again.

The reason behind not using Twitter is maybe some of the negativity that I read from people its sad that people use it for anger issues on whether they want but oh well it just reached a point to me. The other reason is I dont have time to use it nowadays unless it is promoting my videos or someone else's videos because of living life and going to work whether it is Tescos or voluntary work. I agree it can be distracting having so many social network sites to keep up with and it is nice to get on with my own life.

With Dailybooth I cant think of any pictures that could be creative plus I havent taken a picture in over a week so it doesnt matter.

I finally got God Of War III which I got the ultimate trilogy edition boxset



I also did a review the other day to give my thoughts



I finally finished playing the game and I have to say WHOA on the ending and it is fantastic. Its one of those games I would go back to again and again like I said in the review. I picked up on the extra skins that I got with the edition I bought and they are all really cool. The bonus videos looking at behind the scenes of the game are really cool to watch to understand

I maybe doing another video response which is great because I miss doing normal vlogging on Youtube. Its another response to Aaroncast86 which I may upload either Sunday or early next week which I mentioned to him on Youtube.



Its about how you got into the Youtube community in the first place and I like this idea. I really want to get back into vlogging again because I have done a lot of videos on gaming which is still vlogging in some aspects but normal vlogging about life is something I want to get back into.

OK thats it for now. I hope to do a proper entry soon and take care.

Happenings from Barry's World 10/3/2010

Hey everyone

Its been a long time since I last did a blog entry talking about whats been going on with me I will say I tried a number of times to do a blog entries but because of whats been happening if it was something happening on the Internet or being busy with work, voluntary work and enjoying life.

I aint going to deny this but when DoctorBenjy decided to leave the Internet and Youtube I lost some confidence for a couple of weeks when it came to writing a blog. I felt that Benjy is a great person and someone that people are going to miss. I didnt wanted to reveal that until the time was right and I felt ok writing blogs again.

I havent written a proper blog since last year. I did a couple of entries showing videos I had done. One of them was the Goals for 2010. Here's an update on them goals.

The Three New Year Resolutions are

1) Do a Sport and get healthy - Sadly I havent found a sport yet to do
2) Do More Travelling - Been doing some travelling but to the same places that I usually go to
3) Be Happy and Positive - I have been positive and happy for a lot of the time like I said I had a couple of dark moments.

OK quickly sum up of the last couple of months

January - Well nothing much was happening just been enjoying real life and had a couple of dark moments wondering what to do. I went back to Portsmouth and thought it was cool.

February - Had a good birthday, went down to Brighton twice one on my birthday with family and the next day with my mate Arron and thats all I can remember.

I know it was really short hey oh well.

Spring is coming and I always love Spring. I prefer Spring to Summer and I prefer Winter to Summer as well. I never like the weather being too hot at all. I feel if the weather is hot I feel we are heading to armageddon (DONT ASK). The weather has been good with bright sun but cold air, bit too cold at times when I go walking my dog Ruby. Ruby is great if you are wondering, she is defintely the best dog I ever had, she is now a dog from the beginning of this month. She's just laying down while I am writing this.

I have bought a couple of big games over the last couple of weeks which are really good and I hope I will do reviews on them in the next couple of weeks.

Heavy Rain (Playstation 3)


Heavy Rain is a very addictive game that puts you on the edge of your seat and the presentation is brilliant. It does remind me of the Fahrenheit game I had on the original Xbox. Review for this will be coming.

Final Fantasy XIII (Playstation 3)


I had done an unboxing of the Final Fantasy XIII on yesterday when the game was finally released in Europe and America and I found it to be really cool to see what was inside the edition



I have played a bit through the game and it is a good game, not as good as Final Fantasy VII and X but still great to play.

There is one more game Im getting next week which I am really excited about and it is called.

God Of War III


God Of War storyline which I had done some research is brilliant and something I get a real thrill out of it. This next video is a spoiler for the first two God Of War games.



Im hoping to get this edition of God Of War III which I saw on the Playstation Blog



Its the ultimate trilogy edition that comes with a lot of shit

Once open, you will find the following items:

* God of War III (of course!)
* God of War Collection (gentle reminder, this is God of War and God of War II, remastered in HD, running at 60 fps, with Trophy support, all on one Blu-ray Disc)
* Extra game content downloadable via PlayStation Network:
* God of War Combat Arena containing an exclusive environment and seven challenges to complete
* Dominus character skin
* Apollo character skin
* Phantom of Chaos character skin
* Forgotten Warrior character skin
* Special audio bonus
* God of War Trilogy Soundtrack – God of War I, II, and III scores from the game (3 CDs in total)
* God of War: Blood and Metal EP – a heavy metal homage featuring original music inspired by God of War (downloadable via PSN)
* Additional content:
* Artbook
* Postcards

(According to the Playstation Blog) even though I have to fork out £100 but I know its going to be worth it.

Thats what is happening in my life and thoughts about games I have got and Im getting hold of soon

Speak Soon

Goals For 2010

I talk about 3 new year resolutions I have for this year and 2 past ones I have succeed on

The two I have passed are

1) Give up Alcohol completely (2006)
2) Do a Challenge (2008) - The Challenge was to give up the Internet for a week.

The Three New Year Resolutions are

1) Do a Sport and get healthy.
2) Do More Travelling
3) Be Happy and Positive

Christmas Happenings, VlogRelay and 2010.

Hey everyone

Its been a couple of weeks since my last entry and its my first in 2010. Now after the Project For Awesome which I felt really happy with the video I decided to give Youtube and Internet a bit of a rest accept for twitter with some updates.

Anyway I had a great christmas with the family and got some really presents which included a cookie monster T-shirt, Count Duckula DVDs and Transformers Revenge Of The Fallen Blu-Ray. Although I had a bit of a cold over christmas Having Ruby made christmas even better as well.

I met up with Arron and John (IRL friends) a couple of times and it was great. The first before christmas in London for some laughs and then again in Eastbourne just before the new year and it was great being with them again. I dont normally see them until weeks but seeing them twice in 8 days was great. I hope they had a great start to the new year.

I watched the Doctor Who christmas specials and thought whoa that was amazing. I wont give away the story because people outside the UK get it today I think or tomorrow Im not sure. It was something special and I cant wait for Matt Smith to get started his opening trailer for his run looks really promising.



Going to have some fun this year as well. I am going to be taking part in a collab channel on Youtube with 3 other youtubers who are Dr Noise, SongsFromPaul and SweetAfton23 and its called VlogRelay

As quoted from the channel page "We're just 4 people collabing to get to know each other. The channel rules are quite simple. One person posts their video and the next person has 3 days with which to post their video. That means, nobody is ever on a set day and everyone has plenty of time to respond. Simple, effective VLOGGING. :)"

Easy and could be great fun for me to do this. In the past I would say no to collab channels as I felt it would be the same as other collab channels and wasnt in the mood to join any but now with this one I found the idea of it being different from others and Im in the mood to take part in.

Now 2010 should be a great year for me as I did enjoy 2009 as well. I want to get involved with a sport this year and keep at it for the year. I may think about doing pool or snooker.

Now a friend on Youtube Aaroncast86 did a video explaining his 7 Keys to Accomplishing your Goals which I found most useful



I will look back at this video and figure out my goals for the next coming year as well. Even though I left a comment on Aaron's video but I said I would get back to think about New Year Resolutions.

Finally just before the new year I have been playing a lot of computer games last year and I did a top 5 video games of 2009 in my opinion based on ones I have played.



Thats it for now and Happy New Year everyone.
