Momento

Momento is like those short stories you read, where it doesn't make sense until the last line says to read every capital letter, and then it becomes pant-shittingly clear. Momento is labayrinthinly beautiful, like a tasty Spaghetti Bolognese you can get lost in. It's a brilliant modern classic.

War in the 7 Kingdoms!

War will soon be upon us!

For those of you who love the 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series as much as our flat do, will be incredibly excited to hear about the upcoming 'Game of Thrones MMO'. You read that correctly, there is a 'Game of Thrones MMO' in the making, and best of all, it's set to be Free. There are three main factions; 'The Starks', 'The Baratheons' and 'The Lannisters'. 

Your character however will start in one of the smaller lesser known houses that populate the land, but can ally to one of the larger factions.

I for one am totally pumped.
This looks amazing!

The Hurt Locker

An incredible portrayal of what the term 'Occupational Hazard' really means. This beautiful 'little' feature will keep you almost firmly planted on the edge of your seat. Even when it slows down, the tension never truly leaves, thrusting you headfirst into a gritty world.

This is truly a masterpiece.

50 word reviews

50 word reviews is a new tasty feature that delivers bite-sized daily reviews, so you can get all the Snykeel reviews you want, without all those calorific words. But why 50 words? Because a review featuring 51 words is like cyber brain-freeze, i thought everyone knew that.

Flat Wars. Episode 1

The Towel Assault

Our flat is notorious for being a pretty noisy bunch ... well, me excluded as I'm the narrator, but, my actions are slowly taking a stronger turn. These little battles have been raging pretty much since we all moved in, they started by Will and Price repeatedly throwing Aaron H's bed down the stairs, Aaron H replied in kind by slowly moving parts of their rooms into different areas of the house and watching with a quiet joy, only experienced by a man who has known the great feeling of revenge.

This was a short lived victory for Will and Price decided to up the stakes by literally relocating all of Aaron H's room downstairs and into the small porch type room below, blocking the door with his mattress and subsequently piling up the rest of the bed, cupboard and wardrobe along the stairs.

Thus the war began.

As the narrator I have been granted a very strained lease of 'diplomatic immunity' which I can only presume ended when Will and I hid our various alarm clocks around Price's room set from Midnight to about three o'clock in the morning. 

We had to be up for seven the next day.

My immunity ended in the shape of a shaving foam covered alarm clock hidden carefully right below my bed, directly under my pillow. Poetic justice came for me in the form of a horrendous beeping ball of blue foam, that my sleep ridden mind struggled to decipher. Until I tried to pick it up that is.

These battles often start in the smallest ways, with suspicious glances, shady footsteps, then quick rush up the stairs towards the rooms followed by a whole lot of shouting.

Today's incident followed the exact same recipe.

Price made a few careful steps towards the stairs before bounding up them at full speed, followed by Will in hot pursuit, backed into his room, Will slammed Prices door shut turning off the light and shrouding him in darkness. I followed by spraying the better part of my can of cheap deodorant through his keyhole and under the small gap below the door.

Price responded the only way he could, ripping the door open, he unleashed a painful barrage of stinging hits with his towel. Will retreated under the cover of confusion to his own room where he armed himself with a Football shin pad, but realizing the towel had far greater reach, opted for one as well.

The whole conflict was over in a matter of minutes leaving both Will and Price in a pretty bad shape. Will got a beautiful overhand shot right at Price's crotch leaving him immobile for a couple of seconds, to counter this, Price grabbed a second towel and started, what I can only describe as, 'Windmilling' them while slowly advancing on Will's room.

The war ended with a handshake and a cup of tea.

Exactly how every conflict should be sorted in my opinion.

SportsCorner: The Intro

SportsCorner: Intro

Hey, thought I'd start a new feature for the blog. It's about sport, I hope to have at least one up a week and probably post it up late Sunday night. It's going to focus mainly on the major football games of the week and formula one races, but will also look at other sports, like the superbowl next weekend, big boxing matches and just generally anything that is interesting to watch, sorry Bowls Championship 2013 you ain't our kinda deal. So on with this weeks blog...

Oldham Athletic vs Liverpool FC

Let's get the first thing out of the way, I am a Liverpool fan whereas I will post unbiased posts as much as I can, when Liverpool is involved that just ain't gonna happen. Now for the other first thing first...

Liverpool deserved to lose the game, straight up, from the performance the players gave for the most part of the game we didn't deserve to go any further in the F.A Cup. From the 2nd minute goal shambles until Gerrard subbed on we just didn't really get going. Oldham had a real physical presence and from this season its clear that any threat of physical presence really shakes the LFC foundation of tiki-taka football. It happened with Stoke, it happened with Mansfield and today it happened with Oldham.

The only positives we can take from it is that Hendo at Right-Back actually works, he provided a good overlap with Downing that he just couldn't commit to when he was trying to play in the middle of the park. Hopefully with Enrique nearing match fitness we could have Johnson fit in at Left-Back and Hendo on the Right Flank until our defence doesn't feature Coates.

Talking about Coates...before the match there were rumours that Brazillian Club, Gremio, were looking to buy him for approximately £7 million. Before the match I wouldn't be happy as a fan to take that offer, now, after seeing how slow he is to react to a large amount of attacking threat I think it would be good to bankroll Phillipe Coutinho's offer and offload Coates or even have it bankroll the buying of Tom Ince (which seems to increase in price daily) or even put a shock offer in for Brendan Rodgers former player, Ashley Williams. If we were to buy the 28 year old defender for Swansea it would be an odd move to sell a young, promising talent with a player almost at his twilight years, but for the next few years I would be much happier with Williams in a red shirt after his performance against Chelsea than Sebastian Coates' performance today.

There aren't many positive talking points from a Liverpool fans point of view, but taking out the F.A Cup does have its positives in a packed schedule with the Europa League coming back into play within a couple of weeks. Saying that however is defeatist, it's not a great thing, but it certainly isn't as bad as it looks. One loss after three wins doesn't break our season...that test comes next week against Arsenal and the Chelsea. Hopefully I'll have a lot happier words to type next Wednesday.

That's it for the first post of SportsCorner but I'll have more to talk about next week with a lot of Formula 1 car reveals and the closing of the Transfer Window.

A halt in the plans.

Dropped frame-rates and a glitchy sound-file 

So, my glorious plans to start uploading Minecraft play videos with Price has been somewhat halted by the strange lag I have started getting on Minecraft. I'm not sure whether it's Java, or something related to it, but Minecraft refuses to play smoothly. It's even more confusing as I can play games like 'Oblivion' and 'Left 4 Dead 2' without any freezes or issues.
On a positive note though, my new webcam and microphone have arrived, meaning when we eventually get around to posting song covers, they should be quite clear. at least clearer than my other attempts.
I'll keep working on how to solve the problem, maybe I'll just give more Ram power over to Java and see if that fixes the issue. if it does you can expect to start seeing our adventures pretty soon, if it doesn't ... I guess there are always other games.

I've had my eye on 'Lord of the Rings Online' for quite a while.
