2/1/2015

In this episode of the Random Chat we will be focusing on a single character Forever Carlyle. She is the main Character in Greg Rucka and Michael Lark' hit Image series Lazarus.

The TCBTC in the title stands for The Character between the Covers, This is rather a novel name for an ongoing series where I get to discuss some of the characters I find most appealing from our three main genres, Watch, Play and Read. Look out for more articles on the site and future Random Chat shows.

Random Chat; Can Tomb Raider; Definitive Edition, be the true HD remake we have been craving?

29/1/2014

Tomb Raider was my game of the year for 2013 (you can read why here).
Now my favourite game is having a full make over and the changes that are being implemented although mostly cosmetic sound amazing.

The Trailer below will give you all the details you need but for me one of the most impressive points concerns the yellow Walkie Talkie you can see on Lara's back in the picture to the right. In the first game things just appeared when you needed them as if by magic. Now we are seeing a more realistic take on a character model as well as their interactions with heir own equipment.

I hope this is the start of improvements by developers in this area as they strive for a more realistic form of storytelling.

Random Chat; comment on @xXGunsForShowXx, Earn your YouTube Support !

28/1/2014

I first found Guns thanks to his previous series called My wife is trying to kill me. It featured a dual comm with his better half where they were playing COD. From there I found his other videos to be of good quality but most importantly this is a man with something to say.

In this video his concern is how to correctly interact with others on YouTube. If you are an aspiring commentator its a great lesson in etiquette and I must say I am guilty of a few of the sins listed here (but I do not ask for a sub for a sub)

Anyway lesson learned and I hope you will enjoy the video as well.

Random Chat; Pain from 12 yards out FIFA 14 Penalty Discussion.

24/1/2014

Why are penalties so difficult?
As an Englishman I have had my fair share of penalty heartbreaks but what is it about the 12 yard spot that makes scoring so difficult?
In this video I take a look at how FIFA 14 makes the task of penalty taking a bit of a chore and also have a little think at last nights penalty shootout featuring Manchester United & Sunderland

Random Chat the Reinvention.

12/1/2014

I think in these stakes I win the worst staff picture award

The random chat is changing a little to be just as the title says. This is going to function as my place to chat about things that can come from anywhere, from TV to films to Sport to gaming. Most things are up for discussion even though I will avoid the key no no's like Religion, Politics and Macro Economics (Micro economics of the gaming/comics world though is still fair game) and of course the biggie whether the Spice Girls were the greatest musical group of all time or not. I hope to bring a taste of something different in these posts and please feel free to comment where you see fit.

Also this will be a test bed for some of my stranger ideas so be warned.

17/10/2013

I'm a big fan of the Dead or Alive series and I thought its time to share my abysmal talents with the whole world. Seriously I hope to bring you a variety of gameplays from different titles all with some commentary on different topics.
Some will be game focused others may look into topics around gaming and beyond.
