R.I.P. GamesMaster Mag

Sad times ahead. My favourite magazine publisher has shut down. Gamesmaster magazine has finished publication printing after 25 years.

GamesMaster is a monthly multi-format computer and video game magazine published by Future plc in the United Kingdom. It is the biggest selling multi-format video games magazine in the United Kingdom, outselling its sister publication Edge, But Future has announced it will be closing the magazine on 1 November 2018. The magazine was launched in January 1993, to complement the television show of the same name. While the show has since ceased broadcasting, the magazine has carried on.

I never got to watch the tv show sadly but I owned my first GM mag back in 2002 with Spider-man on the cover. My collecting and obsession of the mag didn't then exist until I became a regular reader from 2008 onwards, so I've been a loyal reader for 10 years. I've submitted many letters, emails, Facebook posts, twitter dm's etc into them over the years. I've gotten in many times and even won their star letter once. I have kept all of my gm appearances in a scrap book because it's memories and just awesome i made it into their magazine it's a true honour among the gaming community I believed. 


It's truly sad to see them go, GM not only gave me great gaming insides and knowledge but also gave me a platform via their social media pages to interact with and meet many new friends along the way. Many of which I am still in contact with such as James Davie, William Golding, Ryaan Sandham, Darren Emery, Greg Atkins, Layla Griffiths to name just a few! Love all the friends i have made through GM, if they end up reading this well hello there haha. 

So hey go pick up the latest and last ever issue of GM. You'll see my small review of #Spiderman in it too!

Thank You GM for bringing such great memories. From the friends I've made through mutual love of the mag to the free gifts and all the knowledge you have given to us your noble readers.

#THANKYOUGM #GAMESMASTERMAG get those trending and say you're thanks and post memories you have of them please, let's get it trending as a tribute to our fave magazine.

Random Ramblin's 34 - Insert Title Here

No title, no problem because that no title thing has become a title...does this make me a champion now?

Helo, how are you? Hope you are well as ever my dear reader and my METALLIC NATION! If you are not well, do drop me a message or tweet or comment and let's chat and hopefully i can make you feel a bit better but if that fails well at least we had a chat. Pull up a chair as a month has past since the last post here on my blog, so let's have a catch up. 

Still working on them ebooks....it takes time so i am not rushing anything. Also been working on a new fan fiction based off DBZ so it's quite exciting. 

Speaking of DBZ.....earlier this month i got to meet one of my hero's with the voice of Goku himself and had my ballz signed too of course and a chat and fist bump and handshake and even did the Kamehameha with him too so you know it was just insaiyan pride! 

Weird News Sunday is going well, i am really happy people are tuning in and enjoying the videos and talking about them with me. If you have a weird news story do send it in to me please.

Find what makes you happy and pursue a career path with it. Channel all negative energy and keep on being you! #MotivationMonday

FILM BIT
This is the bit i list what films i have watched this month and say a bit about them and maybe rate them...

Valerian is a pretty good film. The visuals were the best thing about the film. Would have been an epic game if Bioware made it 6/10.

Atomic Blonde is good with amazing action scenes but it's story is ok  and i did think the last 10 mins were not needed but its sexy stylish and i'd give it 8/10. My movie of the month!


The Mummy 2017 this is not how you do a mummy film and kick of a dark universe, i see what they were trying to do but it did not work i think it was ok but nothing that special 4/10. 

Pandorum was ok...interesting indeed but just ok 5/10. 


The Last Witch hunter is pretty good not going to lie, i did enjoy it 7/10. 

iBoy is pretty good 6/10. 

ADVICE OF THE MONTH
Life...it'll make you worried, scared, sad and angry but on the bright side it will make you laugh, smile and be happy. Enjoy yourself!

That is all i have so thanks for reading as ever.

Next month i am off on holiday and going to London aswell so see you soon :)
