Motivational Hiccups and more videos

Again I've been having issues with carrying out objectives I have set myself, over the course of 2 years I have failed in every goal I put down for example I should be proficient in the Unreal Dev Kit, Blender, Eclipse IDE, Flash etc etc. But I lack the motivation. Same goes for making a website dedicated to advertising the voice "skill". I guess I'm just not a solo player, I've always been a Co-op sort of guy, I work well with others and I consider others to be, well, a muse of sorts.

The only thing that has come out of me creatively the last few weeks are some gaming videos by XG247, and a small Minecraft video showing off an adventure map called Deep Space Turtle Chase.

Take a look,

Voice Overs and More




Over the last few weeks, I've been helping out a website on their videos as the previews announcer/presenter voice. Most have turned out rather well and I'm hoping other will want to use my services for their projects. Just wanted to make this post to showcase a few videos that have been up loaded to YouTube.

Here is a few to watch.

Battlefield 3 Beta - Weapons Preview



Burnout Crash! Preview



FIFA 12 Demo Preview




If anyone would like something like this done, hit me up with an email or leave a comment.

Hope you enjoyed the videos.

Our Minecraft Server

Hello all, Some people have been asking for the ability to donate to the server.

Below is a Donation button where users can donate and keep the server running.

Currently our server costs are £15.75 every 3 months

That gives us 4 player slots and a 4 slot mumble server and Max Memory of 400MB

Here are the price increases we have to pay to get more players etc, and in some cases, more players means more max memory

The next step for us in expansion is to get a 8 slot server, which comes with a free 8 slot mumble server and 600MB max memory

3months = £18.00
6months = £36.00
12months=£72.00

So if we aim towards getting the 3 Month package for 8 players with your donations, I'm sure we will get there

SplatterHouse & Gaming Videos


This past week I've played Left 4 Dead while using Fraps, I had some drinks at a friends house and thus friend fetched a game call SplatterHouse...... Commence lengthy loading screen.

Yes Splatterhouse, the remake for the new generation consoles, where you take control of a dying teen who puts on a talking mask which turns you into a spikey Hulk in an effort to save your girlfriend and maybe even the world. Don't get me wrong I'm all for gory games, dismembered limbs, amazing executions, monsters getting face raped....(It kinda happens in game, believe me).
Although we all embarked on the game fuelled with vodka & coke and spicy Italian food, we were quickly drawn into the thought that this game was utter crap but we continued to play it. One major motivation in the game to find pictures of your kidnapped girl friend doing some rather sexy poses. This became our quest, the various monsters we had to kill were merely obstacles in the way of a titty covered path. So we played 8 hours of this game, I swear 3 hours of it was just the loading screens, damn that game has loading issues.

Also I have been working on a YouTube series, Yes I know its not very original, Going to be a bunch of videos of chums and myself playing some "puter" games. Currently Borderlands and Left 4 Dead have been the focus of the recording.

Anything happening? No?

Pretty much nothing has happened over the last few weeks, Why make a blog post I hear you all groan? Just because I fancied typing lots of crap. Although I did get some inspiration from reading a little of Will Wheaton's blog and decided to try and get on top of mine.

Will Wheaton guest starring on Big Bang Theory

Latest achievement would be passing my driving theory test, I know I'm getting on a bit, I should have sorted that back when I was 17 or something but I still did it before I was 30. Currently learning to drive and doing well so far. It's My birthday next Saturday and I'd like to point out that I have absolutely nowt planned for the occasion, *Cough*

As for what I've been watching on the box lately, WWE has kind of dominated the nights viewing, with Money in the Bank just last weekend and the usual RAW and Smackdown each week, I break that up with Season 4 of Big Bang Theory, which I love and also promoted me to Google Will Wheaton to see what he's been up to since he did a few appearances on BBT. Gaming has provided some fun, I bought Magicka on Steam so I could play Co-op with Dfrag, I have found it amusing to play, lots of great gaming references and wholesome fun to boot. Dfrag then surprised me by gifting me CTHULHU Saves the World and Breath of Fire VII, which at first I was apprehensive but after playing a little I quickly fell in love with these titles, Good old fashion 16-bit RPG with some humorous twists.

This was also bundled with Breathe of Fire VII "The Beginning"

Minecraft hasn't seen much love over the last few weeks, with the server closing down and a massive lack of players most of us has decided to move else where and seek greener pastures (The block kind). If anyone wants to pitch their server as a potential new home, go ahead.

Next blog I'll post my thoughts on using Ubuntu 11.04, Its a Linux OS is anyone is wondering.
