oh my god

It feels like its ages since I last blogged...
actually... it was :$ sowwy :'(

I havn't really been doing much since my last blog, ive changed my diet, refined my gym routine and started playing my consoles a bit more :D
and also came up with some nifty mug ideas (Custom L4D Mugs...if you wanna see leave a comment and I'll make a new post showing them off)

Now, lets talk games!
and specifically one game, Wanted: Weapon of Fate

so, I started playing this game a while ago and did it on Easy (as you do)...and it got really really boring after completing it...
anyway, I started playing it again yesterday after deciding to hardcore achievement whore the other week (xbox 360), after I'd say about 6hours play I completed the game on both Medium (Assassin) and Hard (Killer) aswell as getting the achievements for them, I got a number of other achievements along the way, apart from...2!

THE DREADED NUMBER FOR ANY ACHIEVEMENT WHORE!!!!

so, after raging over not being able to get the final TWO achievements, I turned off the console and played a "quick" game of L4D ... which turned into 4/5hours gameplay :$
(damn you Jonny and Laura!!!)
ANYWAY

I turned the game on again today determined to get those last achievements...

took me about an hour to get one
YAY! ONLY ONE LEFT

final achievement (this achievement was to collect all the hidden collectables)
I watched some youtube videos...really eager to get the damn achievement!
followed them to a T!
still havnt got it, because the game is glitchy and some of the collectables dont show up!
MAN RAGING HARD

but overall a good game, inserting a certain code in the menu enables you to play a Janice from the film, was LoL playing the whole game through as a whale!
oh
anyway, gonna get started on a new game now

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood!!!!

I havn't played the first Call of Juarez but from what I've heard its an awesome game, anything with Cowboys...awesome, you know why...
cause they got them cool arse hats!
hurah!

started this game lastnight actually, really good game, had a showdown with the sheriff, he was all like
"Whats going on here!"
I was like...
"OUTSIDE BITCH!"
bust a cap in his dome! 1DEAG!

!!!!MOVIE TIME!!!!

As most of you know, I'm a big fan of movies...if you didnt know that, then.. wtf... pretty sure you should!
so, I recently watched the Watchmen movie...
LOVED IT
for someone, to successfully make the transition (and yes I said successfully)
from graphic novel... to movie, just outstanding!
I know that there have been other movies that started off as comics/graphic novels, but there has been none that have really been this good before...

I know it isnt hard (from prior experiance) that setting up shots and angles from a previously created storyboard isnt hard, but this film really SHOWS you how its done!
FILM NOIR STYLE BITCH

Before watching this movie I'd been told by a few friends that it was really brutal, showing fingers getting broken, arms popping out, total bloodbath style, but I thought they were just over-exadurating...
not even, 3minutes into the movie, I was shocked... TOTAL MASSACRE! IT WAS AWESOME
a fight in The Comedians apartment, well I say fight, was a total crazed onslaught of pure power.
Brick walls got destroyed, tables, chairs, worktops (the granite kind) sinks...and reinforced windows! CRAZY MAN
still...
nothing beats good ol' Rorschach and his crazy crazy ways, from the Graphic Novel perspective you dont really connect well with Rorschach at all...
but in the Movie, you feel like you want him in your life, however crazed he is...just amazing, Jackie Earle Haley - great job!

...

Now moving onto some movies that not a lot of people are familiar with =D

Old Boy

Let me just start by saying, if you dont have a copy of old boy, fu!
everyone needs a copy of Oldboy, old, young, fat, skinny, dumb or smart! EVERYONE!

The Movie starts off with a man, holding another man over the edge of a building by his tie...now thats cool straight away! Life and Death... DEPENDING ON THE TIE!!! I jizzed a little... anyway

It then flashes back to an Overweight Oh Dae-su in a Police Station, after having a few to many Bevvies he got pulled in and was awaiting bail, this part...really made me giggle some of the things he did and said, amazing
after his mate comes and bails him out (which is also a bit funny as when Oh Dae-su leaves he says, "I will see you soon" LOL) he makes a phonecall to his daughter and wishes her happy birthday and tells her he will be home soon, he puts his mate on to wish he happy birthday blah blah blah, Oh Dae-su's wife wants to speak to him, his mate turns around to hand him the phone...Oh Dae-su is gone!
THE FUN STARTS!
Im not gonna say what happens next cause it will ruin all the story...well...not all but some of it so...BUY IT RENT IT...WHATEVER JUST WATCH OLDBOY!


Visitor Q

Now this film...hmmm.. hard to categorize...
I'd put it in the f**ked up section, seriously... never before have I seen a movie... that involves, rape, murder, necrophilia, domestic violence, incest and lactation....
Yes... Lactation
Milk......of the tit....
Lactation

Watch this film, you need to
I told my friend Josh to try and get a hold of this film and he couldnt find it anywhere, so...being the kinda guy I am, I offered to do him a copy and send him it, because he needs to see this film!
totally messed up film man

From looking at the cover you expect it to be like some second rate Japanese Erotic film...its nothing of the sort!

I'll give you the begining of the film...
Starts of with the Father of the family, paying HIS daughter (a prostitute), for sex, whilst it is being filmed...
now...if that doesnt scream WTF then I dont know what does...
and the fact that after hes done, the Daughter laughs at him and calls him "The Early Bird" because he came too quick, now that must suck!

Anyway, film is by Takashi Miike - the legend who bright you the likes of Gozu, Ichi the Killer and Dead or Alive (all awesome films)

definatly worth a purchase!


Music

Big Big Big Big Music fan!
any music is worth a lisen (in my opinion)
now I dont have to like that music, but I feel that people should listen to multiple genres and not limit themselves to just one set group.

I have recently come across a band that is new to me, a youtube link was posted by a friend of mine and, I was impressed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZo4bOZf3B4
The Agonist - Business Suits and Combat Boots

I am liking it!
hot leading lass
cool guitar riffs
and semi-melodic :D

I liked it so much, I got their album off of iTunes - result

another song/s I have been listening to a hell of a lot is the facemelting riffs/vocals of a band called Cancer Bats
now, most of you will see that name and think...."wtf...cancer bats... pretty sadistic... cancer... and bats!"
but they are really cool, bringing the old school metal feel back to the scene with tracks like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxMV-jJEShA
Lucifers Rocking Chair

and

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2j-xR_wSAQ
Hail Destroyer (which has screaming...love it)

------

Anyway guys and girls thats all I can be arsed with writing for this blog entry at the moment ... my fingers are tired

I'll be sure to post some more soon enough :D
but for now, time to watch some 4PP!
