Episode Ate Nine!

Not copy + pasted from my DA journal.

Episode 8 of The Citizens Mind is now live!



Disclaimer: Anything resembling a decent entertainment product is entirely coincidential.

Episode 9 won't be for a while as:
a) I'll be going back to remake the first 2 or 3 episodes of the series
b) I'm currently planning and writing a possible machinima idea which if born to the light of day will be produced alongside The Citizens Mind

The Gentleman and Taika - Page 3

A comic series I started based on me and my sisters gaming adventures staring our respective original characters. I will be posting them here as well from now on as well as my DeviantArt.

Like I Promised

Double meaning...oh my god! Double meaning!

First off, there two webcomics I thought I'd try vand spread the word of. Firstly, a daily updated Silent Hill fancomic called "Silent Hill: Promise" (see what I did?!). Created by Greer-The-Raven on DeviantArt, the audience has a great deal of input whereby they leave commnents to suggest the characters next course of action. If you ever wanted a worthy sequel to Silent Hill 2, this is as close as it gets! Go read it fo'!

Plus there's Frontier: 2170 by fellow blogger and IGMB regular Julian Sharps. Looks great and I will get round to reading it!

Last but certainly not least, episode 7 of The Citizens Mind is now locked and uploaded. I'm not doing any more episodes over 10 minutes, my poor, lousy proccessor just can't take it.

I love the BBC

No seriously. Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes both were the absolute bomb. Series 3 of Being Human is simply amazing!

Watch it now!

The BBC, NHS. As much as you may have to say against them, the indomitable nature of publically funded organisations is undeniable. The BBC being publically funded means less tatty, cheap shows made simply to get your ratings and more high quality viewing actually meant to entertain and inform.

I just hope to god ITV never gets Doctor Who.

Episode 7 has been rendered and Episode 8 filmed. Expect the former to be up in the next week.

Peices out amigos!

Moar game updates

Well, even though I know few people will actually read this despite having flagged my blog on my youtube (godamnit man! You have 20 subscribers, get real!) I feel like I should give an update post. Progress on Episode 7 was halted earlier this week as I felt (and still feel to some extent) like a heavy headed, sore throat-ed, snot factory with a hacking cough. This obviously had a less-than-desirable effect on my voice. But lo and behold, I have continued and I'll most certainly get the next episode uploaded within the next two weeks.

Finished Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory. Still a great game, even if there's alot of build-up to a very disappointing climax.
Silent Hill 2 and 3 are indeed fantastic examples of the horror genre at it's best and most sophisticated. I can't play sustained sessions of the game and find myself playing 20 - 30 minutes everyday, well...20 - 30 nerve shredding minutes. I'm such a wuss. I'd summarise the differences between the two games as thus, Silent Hill 2 has the best cast, storyline and atmopshere in any game. This is just my opinion but Silent Hill 3 actually scares me more (I played about an hour of it and haven't touched the game in 3 weeks) whereas I've clocked up 4 hours 30 minutes on Silent Hill 2. I guess it's because Silent Hill 3 seems more claustrophobic in the way that there's not so much of the open air outdoor sections. Plus I think the horror is of the more shocking variety of "under your skin" scares. Many fans may disagree with me on that but that's my opinion.

I got Mercenaries to work but it can be rather...tempermental.
