Ocean’s 8 arrives on the scene looking for the green with a star studded cast of more than 8 if I am to be honest. Did the film entertain the pants off me or did I get conned in more than one way? It won’t take you long to find that out on this one sadly…. The video can be viewed here also directly if the above doesn’t work; https://youtu.be/IGMpmN7TURM
Rise of the Zombeasts Tavern Brawl
In the first Hearthstone video is such a long time, several expansions later in fact, The Lord of Leisure makes his proper return to videos on YouTube and now Twitch with a lovely little Tavern Brawl where beasts are pitched against beasts in a children’s card game with strangers on the internet!
With nothing but honour and vengeance to play for, along with the fact that the World Cup was on and anything would have been better than that, Will the Lord of Leisure triumph over all who oppose him, or as what tends to happen, will he fail miserably while having a jolly good laugh all the same?
Some things never change.

A mini meh about…. Kingsmen: The Golden Circle
Why no, I’m not working for any foreign power…..cough…..
In this modern era of lies, treachery and our favourite, deceit which somehow seems to mainly involve the Russians and pee tapes, it’s easy to forget that there was a time when we could have a good laugh about the whole spy business. Remember the days of old with James Bond, where they knew how absurd and over the top it was at times to have a British guy going round the world defending Queen and country while pretty much having sex with every woman he could? You could only imagine the gene pool for the countries being irreversibly tainted as hardly anything Bond did was considered safe sex! The bad guys were also quite insane as they too embraced the outrageous. Jaws, played by Richard Kiel, is by far one of the best villains we ever saw on the big screen and he hardly spoke.
Of course, the world of spies got much more serious with recent adventures of Bond under Daniel Craig’s care and perhaps just more in keeping with reality, which is sadly at times more insane than any fantasy could be as it stands. Bond used to provide escapism and now at times, only seems to be a shadow of its former silly self.
This brings me onto the film series which dares to keep on the weird and wonderful path of Spy films of old, Kingsman. The sequel to the frankly fantastic Kingsman: The Secret Service arrived last year with The Golden Circle (Not to be confused with the Golden Shower which I’m betting will be the subtitle to the eventual oscar bait of Donald Trump).

Prey I don’t poop myself….. (Prey Mooncrash Playthrough)
Hot on the heels of E3 and the frankly stonking Bethesda presentation, it turns out that the Prey DLC so nicely teased out by Bethesda got released the same day it was properly revealed! Well what better way to poop myself all over again than to play a rogue-like game mission on the moon where once again we get paranoid at what stick is going to turn in to an alien nightmare type thing?
Will I require a change of underpants during this or will it actually be more meh than we thought? Only one way to find out campers and that’s to watch!

Hearthstone Happy Hour: “The E3 Countdown Edition”
Just before Microsoft’s E3 Presentation type thing where we would enjoy such bounties as Gears of War 5 and that f**king car game all over again, I decided to do a lovely little live stream where I chatted rubbish about E3 and then played Hearthstone some more!
What more could you possibly need?

Shaq Fu you mother lover! A Livestream Reborn
After sucking in Vampyr, it came to sucking of a different kind as I loaded up what was promising to be a surprising addition to the gaming line-up of 2018.
After a successful Indiegogo campaign to bring back the Shaq Attack to all who never played the original disaster of a game, Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn brought back Shaquille O’Neal to the digital stage with new gameplay, all new bad jokes and a story pretty much taking the p*ss out of popular culture.
Would it succeed in kung-fu fighting ourselves with fits of joy or would we be telling Deez Productions to Shaq-Fu off?

Will I suck at this? (Yes, I’m playing Vampyr and it’s a bad joke)
On a lovely Tuesday afternoon in London town, what better way to spend a couple of hours on a livestream than to enjoy sucking badly at being a member of the undead?
Join me, as we play through the newly released Vampyr where we make all the bad sucking off jokes you can imagine, find out how our main hero / bad guy Johnathan went from a happy go lucky Doctor full of life, to a happy go deadly Doctor in death. Facing against all sort of evil during the first World War in London, there will be plenty to be wary of.
But mainly more the sucking jokes….. Enjoy!

Hearthstone Happy Hour: The “Tired of working on a Dev server for lordofleisure.com” Edition
Basically on a random Monday evening, after working on doing a virtual server at home, trying to get a local version of the blog working so I could begin work on making it look more pretty and whatever, I got tired and wanted to blow off some steam.
That meant playing Hearthstone to get some wins under my belt after a very long day for everyone to enjoy! There were some bad games and some good games and a lot of waffle in between too.
So kick back and relax all, for more card playing live-streamed frolics!

A mini meh about…. The Hitman’s Bodyguard
And I will always love you……
Good lord this is a late mini meh eh? But actually from last year there are a good few films which were deserving of the Mini Meh treatment and in these lean 2018 summer months, it’s a good time to revisit some of the big releases of last year. First on the chopping block of meh; The Hitman’s Bodyguard.
Released back in August 2017, and since then has come out on shiny disc and various streaming services, The major thing I remember this movie for, it had one of the best small scale advertising campaigns I had ever since in a while. In fact, not since Deadpool had I been waiting more for an action comedy flick with Ryan Reynolds being the smart-mouthed badass, which of course he repeated this year with Deadpool 2 to great effect.
From the trailer which showed how insane it potentially could be, to the ridiculously funny p*ss-take of Ryan Reynolds holding onto Samuel L Jackson as you may get from the terrible Photoshop effort for the title of this mini meh, where they’re running through the rain and of course stating the rules from 1992’s “The Bodyguard” hit which starred Kevin Costner protecting Whitney Houston.
But of course, this is nothing like the 90s love fest, not unless you count a surprisingly funny recount of how Samuel L Jackson met Selma Hayek as part of the story, but that’s getting ahead of myself of course. Continue reading →
A mini meh about…. Solo: A Star Wars Story
It’s been just over a week since Solo: A Star Wars Story opened in the UK at the time of writing. Among the various mutterings about the place, it appears that the film is going to crash out badly at the box office, not even potentially making back the money splashed on its production to begin with.
It’s not the best way to start any mini meh is it? Though for recent Star Wars films, it’s slowly becoming the norm. Let us remember the Last Jedi for starters; It did well at the box office but was massively divisive as to whether or not people thought it was good to begin with. There even now are various fanboys out there demanding the head of the Star Wars machine Kathleen Kennedy for ruining their childhoods or whatever. It’s not come from nowhere as it seems that directors have been shed during various productions at the hands of Kennedy for one reason or another. Such is the case with Solo: A Star Wars Story too.
Having lost the directors behind the Lego Movie, Ron Howard came on at short notice. There was worry over the main actor Alden Ehrenreich wearing Harrison Ford’s epic boots as Han Solo. As a final insult to injury, this film has been viewed as a wholly unnecessary cash-in which is the current box office trend of the past week or so has indicated, may back back as a loss for the Disney overlords, a first is quite a while in fact.
