A Quick Site Update and Livestream Schedule

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Hello there campers, just so you’re aware, we’ve migrated to a smaller server, just to save some cash per month for the time being. Performance etc, shouldn’t be affected honestly given the current levels of traffic I’ve seen in any case.

There was downtime today from 11am to about 11:20am and all was well afterwards. The wonders of virtual servers eh? If things go a bit rubbish then I will bump it back up to the bigger server size but for now, we’re cooking on cheaper gas.

In terms of content, Mini Mehs will return with quite a number of them in the pipeline. Will try to get back into the routine of doing them soon.

Just a reminder as well now onto further news that August should see a good number of livestreams taking place on Twitch / Youtube and also that Beam thing that Microsoft has out there in the wild with the following games currently scheduled;

4th August: The Sexy Brutale
5th August: Black The Fall playthrough
8th August: Batman Season 2: Episode 1 Playthrough
9th August: Sine Mora EX (Moved after release date in UK confirmed)
14th August: Starcraft Remastered
15th August: Sonic Mania
18th and 19th August: Agents of Mayhem
22nd August: Call of Duty Day
28th August: Destiny 2 PC Beta
29th August: The beginnings of X-COM 2 Week, where till 1st September, we will be playing out for your dining and dancing pleasure, the new X-COM 2 experience thanks to the new expansion.

Hearthstone will be making an appearance as and when the new Frozen Throne Expansion is released. You know I have to! That’s all for now folks.

A mini meh about…. Despicable Me 3

More like a despicable meh, am I right? Yeah!….. I’ll be quiet now….

Oh my, it happened.

This was the day the Illumination studio and Universal Studios responsible for films finally got on my nerves.

I suppose it began with the heavily promoted “The Secret Life of Pets” which had failed to get a single laugh out of me. It was wall to wall stereotypes and half assed acting with a basic story which wasn’t too bad. Then came along “Sing” which was again heavily advertised. Think “Animals Got Talent” and that’s it. No idea if that was any good as basically talent show meh hasn’t really interested me at all. But now they came back with the franchise that launched it all in Despicable Me 3.

Remember the minions? Even if the attempt to spin them off in the Minions film was utterly awful? They’re back and after two seconds shouting Illumination while doing fart noises at the opening logo reveal. Remember most of the characters from the last sequel like Gru’s new wife Lucy and the bloke with the big bottom? They’re here too! Well Ramsbottom (played by Steve Coogan) is only in it for about two minutes before he’s thrown out for someone else. They also didn’t even get Russell Brand back to voice Dr. Nefario so he shows up twice silently.  Continue reading →

A mini meh about…. Baby Driver

Hey Baby!

You may have seen the last Aftermath Video on Youtube, where I had seen Baby Driver at a preview screening a week ago and basically gushed all over it, to the point of repeating myself over and over again. Watching it back, yeah it was cringeworthy, but it was for good reason. You see, Baby Driver became one of my best pieces of cinematic entertainment for 2017. Why? Well stay tuned and find out why I turned into such a fanboy for one Mr. Edgar Wright.

You see, he kind of got slightly screwed over, if what was uttered from the rumours about Marvel’s Ant-Man was concerned, along with Adam Cornish. While there were still clear elements of humour from the pair, other parts you could consider more normal Marvel. So what’s the director been doing with his time? Well he got a bunch of his favourite songs together and wrote a film around them all! Obvious really!

So the plot of Baby Driver, is that we have ourselves a very talented getaway driver by the name of “Baby” (Played wonderfully by Ansel Elgort, whose name also belongs to a swedish porn star). Seems though that he must be constantly listening to music because of an accident when he was a kid, left him with Tinnitus. So the music is played, just to drown the noise out. Continue reading →
