Ch, ch changes.

So over the past 3 or so days it has come to my attention that I am struggling to find stuff to write about. I think it is the fact that there is only so much time in the day and I only have so much time to play games. Therefore I have decided that I will discontiue the daily blog posts and make them weekly posts. These posts will have 4 sections: what I played, what I am excited for, news/reaction to media and any other events. Hopefully this will make writing these blogs more enjoyable for me to write and for you all (few) to read.

Keep on gaming,

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and school starting back

Ok so today’s post is going to be a lot shorter due to school starting back tomorrow.  Sorry those of you who are interested, which I assume are quite few.

So let’s get to it. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. This was my second time watching it and I came away thinking pretty much the same thing man that was a sweet assed nerdy movie. What can I say, I loved it. I hear some people complaining about the pacing but I really enjoyed it. It was stop-starty when feeling of awkwardness was needed and more fluid later on. I loved the music. In fact I am listening to it right no as a tap away at this keyboard. I especially like Black Sheep by Metric. Definitely one to check out. Michael Cera is pretty darn good in the movie too. He fits the character well, kind of in the same way that Aaron Johnson seemed to suit Kick Ass. Overall I loved the movie. One of my favourites for sure. A definite must see for anyone interested in games or anything of the like. Actually scratch that for any one.

Other than Scott Pilgrim and playing football with friends I didn’t really do much today. I played a bit of Fifa with friends and lost 1-0 as Man Utd against Netherlands. In my defence my friends are sort of hardcore Fifa players and I … am not. Hopefully I’ll improve upon the launch of Fifa 11.

I wish I could write more but I’ve got to get organised for school. Hope you guys (girls maybe hopefully (I like the idea of games becoming more of a unisex affair.)) understand.

Keep on gaming (even though the greater portion of this blog was about a movie)

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, A Minecrafting we go…

Minecraft and its "boxels"

So day one. I’m surprised I got this far. Usually I create great plans and then forget about them. Anyways let’s get to it.

So my day today was mostly comprised of sitting around and doing nothing. However I did start into Minecraft. Minecraft is a PC/MAC RPG on some form of strange everlasting steroid. The basic plot of the game is, frankly, non existent. There is absolutely no story in this game… so if you’re a story freak, this ain’t for you. So upon starting the game randomly generates a world of which no two are the same. You could find yourself in the middle of an arctic wasteland, a metropolis of colour and life, an unforgiving desert, or a never ending mountain range, who knows really. The aim of the game, in my opinion, is to survive and thrive in this world. From tearing down trees with your bear hands to riding rollercoasters you use the world around you in the hopes of constructing greatness. The two main elements of this game are mining and well, crafting, thus the  name.  The graphics are retro 3D with “boxels” forming the world around you. If you are a “graphics whore” this probably isn’t for you either. This game seems to be aired  at  a strange audience. If you are patient and love the feeling of building something, this is for you. If you are looking for a crazy game like no other, this is for you. In my  opinion Minecraft is something everyone should try, or watch. If you aren’t into the whole buying without seeing thing I suggest you watch X’s adventures in Minecraft at  for a while, that’s what got me hooked.

So as you can probably tell Minecraft is going to be something I will continue to play for a while. I’ll keep this blog updated with events, pics and theories from Minecraft for the foreseeable future.

The only other game I played today was Rockband as I had cousins over to stay. We sucked rocked out for a while until our instruments failed us and we decided to break  up the band until Rockband 3 was released so that we could all play our preferred instruments (I’m the awkward one with the piano/keyboard). The career in Rockband  seems to be very straight forward: play songs, earn stars/money, play more songs, become a worldwide sensation, get stuck, lose all of your fans, quit. Aside from this I  love the game, it’s a little clunky, one major flaw is the lack of drop in drop out, but with a great song list and a solid mechanic the game is barrels of fun ( as stupid as that phrase sounds).

So it wasn’t the most exciting day for games ever. Tomorrow I’ll have thoughts on Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, more Minecraft, hopefully some Deadspace and almost definitely some FIFA 10 with friends.

If you have read this far congratulations you are a very patient individual. Thanks for your time and I hope this post wasn’t so boring that I’ve scared you away from my blog for good.

Keep on Gaming (at least until I come up with a new sign of)

My Plan

So I’m new to this blogging stuff. Never published anything on the net worth a mention. Hopefully this is where that’s about to change.

I’m a 16 year old gamer. Not the stereotypical 16 year old gamer though. I don’t play MW2 all day and hate on everyone for the laugh.  I play all sorts of games, sports games like FIFA and Tiger Woods, shooters like Bioshock and Call of Duty, rpgs like Fallout and Fable, platformers like little big planet and the plain crazy games like Minecraft.

What I hope to do with this blog is create a post everyday detailing my gaming life. I’ll post what I play, my feelings towards those games and share my excitement for upcoming games and gaming news.So if any of that stuff interests you, you should stick around, I might just write something worth reading,

Keep on gaming,
