Hi guy's! Today will be my last blog, and activity on this site and the internet, as I'm moving out on Monday! We can't afford internet access at the minute, so online play in any form won't be happening. :( So I'll have to bid all you guy's farewell. It's not completely the end, I'll come on every now and then -whenever I come to my parents house- but it won't be all the time.
So, after my comic hero series, I'm going to round off my last blog with my end of month reviews on what's been happening on the entertainment world of 'Killip'. :)
Gaming side of the spectrum I've been playing Demon's Souls. I've just completed it for the third time, and moving on to the fourth. I've honestly never played a game this refreshing since a last gen game. Everytime I start the game again it's like playing it for the first time again: exciting, exhilarating and just as challenging as the previous play-threw. I've also been playing the original Condemned again; was never massive on it the first time I played it. I've bought it three times in total and traded it in. Now this time it has sunk and it's a keeper. I love it loads now. :) Abit glitchy and graphically ugly by today's standard, but the ominus feel is still unpresidented.
Games played this month:
- Demon's Souls
- Condemned
- Alpha protocal (pretty awful to be honest.)
- Siren Blood Curse (abit dated to what i remeber when it first came out)
Films this month has been fairly quiet on the front. I've watched alot of films, but nothing that has really blown me away. Captain America was an enjoyable watch, but was let down by the occasional patriotic American montarge sh!te (pardon the offence if caused).
Films watched this month:
- Source Code: 6.5/10 (good, but let down by an awful ending)
- Captain America: 8/10 (good, but as I said, let down by certain cheesy moments.)
- The Eagle: 8.5/10 (a very entertaining film. If your a fan of that sort of thing, get it watched.)
- Harry Potter: 7/10 (could have been amazing, had it been all one film, but, alas, was let down by feeling far too disjointed.)
Music, again, been abit quiet. The new release of Dir En Grey's new album, 'Dum Spiro Spero' is out on Tuesday, so I'm very excited for that. I've been buying even more Pink Floyd albums this month, too. I bought 'Wish You Were Here' and the hideously underrated album 'Animals' on vinyl for a fiver each. Animals is probably my favourite Floyd album to date I think; dark and evil, with some really nice instrumental work. Great album. I've also been listening to 70's rock group, 'CAN', which are really different from most bands I've heard from the era (my favourite music era :) ). my mate lent me the best of albums to warm up to it, but, man, it was instant love.
Music I've been listening to this month:
- Dir En Grey's latest single, Different Sense: 8.5/10 (there is a guitar solo! They haven't done a guitar solo for years, and it's really good. One of their heaviest songs to date, though. And took me a good few listens to get into it, but it was worth the time for it to grow on me.)
- CAN compilation albums, Cannibalism Vol 1 and 2: 8/10 (very solid stuff.)
- Pink Floyd Animals: 9/10 and 'Wish You Were Here': 8/10.(both great albums)
There we go lady's and gentlemen. That is my low down for this month. A quiet one, especially for games (nothing till end of August! -Deux Ex.).
All those curious to hear what i've been listening to, I've posted the links to some of the tracks at the bottom of this blog. I'll try my best to keep on to of your blogs, but like I say, I'm having a lack of internet access, making it difficult to keep on top of things. :P
All keep in good health my friends! Thanks for reading.
