Avengers: Age of Errrrrrr

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

When coming to write about the latest entry in the Marvel Universe’s magic box of tricks, known of course as Avengers: Age of Ultron, I got a bit stuck. Rather than bounding out of the box with utterings of an entertaining, thoughtful post about the one billion plus money making film with the lovable cast we last saw all together in the first Avengers, I actually sat down at the keyboard and drew a massive blank. In fact, it was more akin to dribbling a little bit and making an errrrrr noise.

Which in itself may also perhaps be one way to describe the film. Another is; it fills the time with an episode before we see the much bigger saga unfold.

Now given this is the internet where people are destroyed by the masses by daring to do something different or well, anything really, let me get a small chance to explain what I’m talking about before you kill me anyway.

First of all, what happens? Well, in the country of insert eastern European sounding name here, we begin with the lovely heroes raiding a Hydra outpost led by Baron “Bloke from the end of Captain America: The Winter Solder”, who we know had been experimenting on humans using the sceptre that Loki had before he was defeated all that time ago.

Drinking Elite….2

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

DISCLAIMER: We drink during this a lot. And also we nicked a video from ITV’s past….Please bring back Knightmare….

With the spirit destroyed after loosing far too many games at Hearthstone, and well seeing as time after time, the recording software also goes wrong over and over again, this time we go back to doing what we do best. Shoot things while drinking vodka when we see the money shot.

Though this time, we will not be using Sniper Elite 3 but instead Zombie Army Trilogy, in which Hitler basically decides to try one last naughty trick against the world and unleashes zombies for the allies to kill. What better way of showing our sniping skills against humans, than showing our sniping skills against zombies….while drinking too! Then possibly dirty fun sexy time…no…wait…getting ahead of myself…

So as we did before with Sniper Elite 3, I once again invite you dear campers to gather your shot glasses and drinks of choice, with perhaps some of those weird flavoured crisps from the ye poshe pub and possibly have a good old time* where we will be featuring the lack of skills that only can come from playing while drunk!

Will I spill a drink all over the keyboard? Will the video go up the wall halfway through again thus requiring a hastily put together explanation which leaves you just bloody annoyed?

Who honestly knows other than to watch the YouTube video placed below for your drinking and dancing pleasure;

Witchers gone wild!

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

DISCLAIMER: We used Amazing Horse by Weebl for a laugh and also the video will freeze up at a given point due to technical issues during the playthrough of which we do highlight when it happens. This is just a fault of XSplit and not representative of how the Witcher 3 is most of the time.

It’s time to get a little crazy once again dear campers, and this time, the dirty video on the Internet shows us how Witchers go Wild! Probably. In the week that the Witcher 3 was released onto the world by CD Projekt, there has been highs, lows, issues with rendering hair, graphics scalebacks and probably other things that people care about.

With that in mind, let’s take a time out here on this lovely bank holiday weekend here in the UK and see what all the fuss is really about. To be fair having never finished either of the previous titles, the story of what’s going on is always likely go flying over our heads much like well, any decent joke really. All I’m saying is I’m a bit slow in general. Ah….I believe I just got served by myself. Sad face….

There is also always some jolly good naughty in the Witcher series but naturally we can’t go into lots of detail there because this is a family blog…..err….never mind. So perhaps the aim of what I should do now is to answer the bigger question which we are all dying to know the answer to;

How good is the horse riding action?

With such a massive question looming over us all, threatening to destroy all of mankind, let us make haste and merriment to discover together what the Witcher 3 will bring us via the YouTube video below;

Bloodb*llocks

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

In something of a rather unusual move, we bring to you something from the console world onto these digital blogrolls of toilet paper as part of your five a day. Only this time, this is more a diary of pain, misery and rage not involving talking to the HMRC about your last year’s tax return. Ladies and Gentleman, for your consideration today, please read on about Bloodborne, out now only on the PlayStation 4.

You died.

Those two words are now burned into my retinas. I’ve seen those two f*cking words so often, that I wish I had really died at times. That weeks from now, when the neighbours complain about the smell and the fire brigade are called to bust down the front door and find my blooded corpse, the words You died will still be on the screen and then people will know the truth.

Rapidos Y Furisosos 7

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

WARNING: This post contains gushings about Jason Statham because he’s in this film. And he’s awesome. So there.

In the second film to come onto Ooh Sometimes which involves lots of hot car action in recent days, this one was one that had a lot more invested to bringing to the big screen, given what happened during the production to one of it’s major stars.

Since it’s release, it went onto to make a ridiculous amount of money at the box office, which considering how long this has been going on for and what it’s actually all about, is just insane. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time we find out all about Rapidos Y Furisosos 7, with spoilers about the previous 6 instalments but then again, this is a series and you do need to watch the previous lot for it to make sense anyway.

So now, after 6 previous films which started to tie into each other a lot more, what would the 7th bring us in terms of story to justify some way over the top car scenes where the laws of physics go out the window and probably there will be another 700 mile long runway for the bad guys to land on like in Fast and Furious 6?

The Return of the Road Warrior

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Mad Max: Fury Road, finally made its debut this week and remarkably it’s got very favourable reviews which is surprising in itself considering that a lot of the time, you only really see people bounce up and down for anything Marvel does or if it’s got a shot of Harrison Ford with a zimmerframe next to Chewbacca who hasn’t aged a day.

The last time we saw the Road Warrior was when he was played by that lovely rascal Mel Gibson back between 1979 and 1985, so basically it’s been around 20 years since Max, who clearly is still a tad silly wandered onto the big screen, and of course time has moved on, along with the audience.

So with that in mind, what would this film bring for not only those who love the existing franchise, but those who haven’t got a clue about what Mel was doing back in the desert all that time ago?

In fact perhaps we need to shed some light on what the hell this is all about first and set the scene for what is to come. Well in the starting few minutes of the film, we learn that in the distant future (maybe next Tuesday, who really knows), the world became a desert wasteland and civilisation has collapsed. So basically it’s like Grimsby. Continue reading →

WolfenCarCrashen

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Full disclosure about the video: This video features the music of Wild Billy Childish And The Blackhands for the “Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mr Hitler?” title music, which can be found here on Youtube and bought from various online stores like Amazon. We didn’t seek permission to use the music for this from the band, it was just used as part of the theme with Wolfenstein as part of the general p*ss take and as such we will never monetise the video at all now or in the future.

So after many tears cried over not being able to capture gameplay footage without it looking like a stop motion animation from the 1890s, cups of tea, followed by blood, guts and more tears, we finally present to you, the discerning public, the gameplay video type thing of Wolfenstein: The Old Blood!

A week after it’s release on most platforms, the game of course promised more fun killing naughty Nazis. And yes, there will be some comments made during the video of said game which will no doubt spark the previously mentioned international-incident-waiting-to-happen as people on YouTube view the car crashen.

The stage is set, the terrible history lesson is complete, the band prepared, shall we dance*?

The Aftermath….

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

In a result no polls saw coming nor indeed, it appears most of the politicians themselves who had been campaigning over the past few weeks, we now have a UK government lead by the new supreme overlord elect, David Cameron, no longer being the Captain of the Coalition, but instead the leader of an overall Conservative government. Whom it appears no-one has been able to use any other word other than “smug” to describe as he went through the doors of Number 10 with his wife.

So what happened to the rest of them then since it emerged as to whom who was nicking the keys to that modest little house next to Big Ben? How did this happen? And also what’s going to be next for us here in the UK?

There be Dragons!

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

Ladies and Gentleman, after the feeling of meh that a lot of people will be feeling after the UK General Election where not a lot of people will be feeling too happy at what’s happened, people lost their jobs, almost every political leader has now resigned after being a bit rubbish, leaving our lovable former “Captain of the Coalition” David Cameron to be reborn as Uber Roboto Cameronruuu!!!! Complete with laser eyes and fire breath, he will soon be again terrorising Tokyo once he has a nap.

So what better way to deal with all this than with drinking and more card playing / losing nonsense, recorded before the result was even known!

Sadly you will have to wait a little while longer to see what fun can be had with Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, released this week on most platforms which promised more fun killing naughty Nazis, but hopefully this will tide you over till that international-incident-waiting-to-happen hits the YouTube airwaves.

This edition is based around the new cards gained when we beat the Hearthstone Adventure Blockrock Mountain, there are some very interesting possibilities to be had, but what if you were to base decks around those new dragons and other weird cards such as that Grim Patron which spawns more of them if it survives damage and dragons which spawn other minions or copies…..and they say this game is all down to skill……

So once again I invite you to join me for another delightful time playing of hearthstone with beer* and merriment via the YouTube video below;

Storage Overwhelming

Lord of Leisure Posted on by

It’s with a rather confused feeling that I began writing this post.

In fact, leading up till Wednesday, it had actually been quite a long time since I was able to sit down proper at my desk and actually write anything more substantial than what to get from the local supermarket and signing my life away to yet more companies whom I’m firmly believing they now own my soul as well as everything else I possibly have.

In fact there are many topics of interest to be had in the world, ranging from the terrible tragedy in Nepal, which is still struggling to deal with the terrible aftermath, to how many more comic book films we can stomach before we all die of boredom.

But rather than remark on all that, I found myself at my desk shopping around the various online retailers for brand new 4TB drives to add to the Evilbeast, as I had actually ran out of space on the 2TB and 1 TB drives and was about to blow even more money on storage.

How to give Netflix a run for their money….

Just think about that for a moment. These two drives which hold a tremendous amount of data, were full. Surely there is only so much porn you can download from the internet and only so much pirated material you can steal to rival Netflix before you just can’t do any more?

Well, it seems that in fact where the storage was being used more and more, was for legitimate games and applications. In fact it shows where the future is going in terms of what a typical PC gamer and possibly console gamer will need to do in future.
