Bad Patches

Hey everyone.

Still blogging which is really good and I keep coming out with topics to talk about. Normally videos help but nowadays it is easier for me to do written entries. Now I am repeating myself.

Normally August is a very mixed month where at the beginning is totally brilliant then by the end of the month it turns into real blues, I was going to curse but I thought no way.

It feels like a curse the end of this month as something really bad happens around me that makes my summer end badly whether it was a member of the family passing away or something going wrong in my life. School had sometimes been like that for me but its down to things happening in my life.

Crazy but true. Im normally really positive when in situations but I feel like when I am work when it comes to this time of year in which I hate it. OK I wont talk about my job anymore haha, unless something really funny happens there.

Everyone in life goes through bad patches for thick or thin. Later on in a week's time I will probably laugh about this haha.

Til next time

Back In The Saddle

Hello everyone

It has been a long time since I last did a blog post talking about what's been going on? It feels like everyone is doing it as well that they dont do blog posts anymore but thats understandable as we all have lives to live and doing what is best for us.

We all wish it was either 2007 and 2008 when everyone was doing blogging but at the end its like growing up and find different things to do and some even move on but hey I have been more busy with my job, voluntary work and doing youtube videos which I am still having fun doing.

Since my last proper blog post in May, I have done a holiday in Bath and also did a gathering there which was good. I always love Bath and the West Country. Wished I live there, it could happen one day maybe when I retire.

The job at Tescos I am not enjoying all the time but still hanging on there because it helps with the rent money at home which is good.

I went to BBQ for my Voluntary which was good and met all the readers which is good.

I have been playing less video games lately but did get Tony Hawk Shred the other day and the board controller is a mixed bag at the moment and I did an unboxing the other day.



Hope to do review in a bit of time but need to play it more. I need to do lots of reviews of different games. I find doing video reviews better than written ones. When it comes to programme or film reviews I would find it easier to do written ones because there is a lot more to explain. I can do Doctor Who reviews in video but sometimes it needs a written article to help it. I may try get back into them as well.

Here is my latest Doctor Who Review



Finally I have been getting into a Thundercats marathon and I have reached half way and up to disc 13 out of 24, which amazes me indeed. Having a struggle at times but will keep going. I cant stop "Thunder, Thunder, Thundercats Ho" haha.

I will blog in a couple of days my afterthoughts of my day at Summer In The City, once I have all the interviews up.

See you guys soon

LA Noire Review (Playstation 3)



Here is my review of LA Noire a game created by Team Bondai and Rockstar Games.

Good points

Facial Graphics are outstanding and wonderful to look at
Great Missions
Controls are cool

Bad Points

Open World is very similar to GTA and doesnt offer too much
Controls can be problems to remember at times

Overall 4.5 out of 5.

Doctor Who (1996) Film Review



The intro is created by Matt Gambell

Matt's channel - http://www.youtube.com/mattgambellknowsbest

The music for the Intro is "Scheming Weasel" from InCompetech.com created by Kevin MacLeod which is a royalty free.

Doctor Who Review of the 1996 film starring Paul McGann as the 8th Doctor Who. Who has to save the world from the Master played by Eric Roberts. Daphne Ashbrook plays the Companion Grace.

Written by Mathew Jacobs and Directed by Geoffrey Sax

PLOT (Spoilers)

As the film opens, The Master has been tried on Skaro and found guilty of a "list of evil crimes,". His death sentence at the hands of the Daleks has been carried out. His last wish was for his remains to be returned to Gallifrey by his archenemy, the Doctor, currently in his seventh incarnation.

During the trip back to Gallifrey in the Doctor's TARDIS, the vessel shakes, causing the box containing the Master's remains to shatter and allowing a sentient ooze to escape from it. The ooze enters the TARDIS controls and forces an emergency landing in Chinatown in San Francisco, California on New Year's Eve 1999. As the Doctor steps from the TARDIS to find his bearings, he is shot by a gang who are chasing down Chang Lee, a young Chinese-American man. Lee calls for an ambulance, and the Doctor is rushed to a nearby hospital. The surgeons find, through X-rays, that the Doctor has two hearts, but they assume the x-ray image is a double exposure. As cardiologist Dr. Grace Holloway starts to operate with a cardiac probe, the Doctor wakes up, tells her that he needs a beryllium atomic clock, and then falls into a seizure, eventually flatlining. Dr. Holloway declares the Doctor dead, and his body is placed into a morgue. Lee steals the Doctor's possessions, including the TARDIS key, and runs off. Meanwhile, the ooze, which had stowed itself away on the ambulance, attacks and takes over the body of the ambulance driver, Bruce. When Bruce's wife questions his odd behaviour, the Master, now controlling his body murders her.

Late in the night, the Doctor regenerates into a new body, and leaves the morgue in a state of confusion, donning parts of costumes intended for the New Year's Party later that night. He follows Dr. Holloway as she leaves the hospital, and convinces her that he is the same man she operated on earlier. Dr. Holloway, who has lost her job at the hospital as a result of the disastrous operation on him, takes the Doctor to her home. Meanwhile, Lee has returned to the TARDIS with the key, and entered the time machine. The Master arrives soon afterwards and tells Lee that the Doctor stole the TARDIS from him, as well as his body, which he wants to retrieve. He convinces Lee to open the Eye of Harmony thanks to his human retinal pattern.

Infamous 2 Hero Edition and early thoughts of the game

Hey everyone

I got Infamous 2 today a couple of days before the UK release. Here is unboxing of the Hero Edition I got from Play.com.



I had a go at the game and its demo and I am really impressed with the game. You go into a big battle with the Beast that was mentioned by Kessler in the first game. What a battle too. It was really awesome. I feel that Sucker Punch haven't lose it at all with this game. Its a real joy, I will admit the Hero Edition is a bit high on price on what you get. So far I would give it 4.5 out of 5.

Heres a trailer of Infamous 2

Spring Mood Is Wonderful

Hey everyone

I thought I would do a normal blog today just talking about the mood of Spring and how wonderful it can be.

I have always preferred Spring to Summer and Autumn. I would consider Summer as the worst because it gets too warm. I love the air in Spring because it feels really fresh and even though Winter is very cold, the air in that is fresh as well but freezing haha.

The Spring to me always bring a new beginning in phase of my life, I think it does in people. I have stayed local a lot lately for the weather as we have been very lucky. A couple of weeks ago it felt like Summer in terms of weather and temperature which was different as I dont mind some differences. Its one of those things that can fully understand when you reach an certain age or when you are smart enough to understand.

Short thought of Spring.

I have been catching on Doctor Who a lot lately watching not only the new series and the classic series either on DVD or Youtube.

Thats all for now
