Work is a horrid thing, really. It’s especially horrid when you’ve been stuck in unpaid full-time work for almost 5 months, are rushing off a student loan form with no clue of when it will arrive and borrowing money from family as well as an emergency loan from the university. It’s dire and depressing. I … Continue reading
What on earth happened to my blog? I used to write things. It’s been so long since writing things that Robin Hood is no longer on BBC iPlayer for me to poke fun at, and yes, dark dark thoughts have entered my head about actually paying real money to acquire the latest series so we* … Continue reading
Although this marks the first post in what will hopefully be an interesting, compelling, mysterious, exciting, breathtaking, daring and life-threatening series, my first day in the office as a game developer is by no means the real beginning. I have roughly noted that I’ve been working for the studio for 1 year and 3 months … Continue reading
Disclaimer: this post is mainly serving as self-motivation and has great potential to be boring and irrelevent. When I’m out of the cesspit (box room: Middlesbrough), there are some clear goals I’ve got to meet for my own sanity.I had a horrid realisation that come June I will be 20, and since I was 17/18 … Continue reading
“Failure” seems to be becoming a prominent theme here. Before I begin, I’d like to quote myself, playing MotorStorm Pacific Rift on Monday: “NONONONO! NO NO NO NO NOOOOO!!!” You can see this classic moment right here. Yes, about 4 people pass me while I dither around the finish line. Not only that, this event … Continue reading
Well, episode 3 of Robin Hood is on iPlayer. It’s completely void of Richard Armitage. He isn’t even in the credits. I actually don’t have the willpower to force myself through a whole episode any more, not without Richard (I’ve got a great idea for a plot! Let’s take out one of two people who … Continue reading
I’m back. It’s time for… Episode 2: Cause and Effect In usual cocky git style, we’re introduced to the episode by a series of scenes with Robin & Co stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. And acting smug. Perhaps he’s smug, because it appears the budget for this series has bumped up. … Continue reading
It’s nearly 4am. Welcome one and all to… Episode 1: Total Eclipse I know what you’re picturing. A primary school teacher eating Jaffa Cakes in attempt to educate her pupils about the Eclipse. Unfortunately, it’s the BBC’s shite adventures of Robin Hood all over again. It’s one of those programmes that’s so bad and cliché … Continue reading
I have returned to Middlesbrough after a few days back home with the family. I am feeling miserable right now for a number of reasons. 1. For an escape and some piece of mind, I intended to bring The Gormenghast Trilogy back with me, which I have held onto for too long and still not … Continue reading
“Full of lame gags, boring sketches and barely hidden narcissism, this show has only one thing in its favour: it might finally put an end to the idea that Horne and Corden are any sort of comedy geniuses.” …So says The Guardians Hannah Pool.
