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.

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

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 :) 

Mass Effect Andromeda - A Galactic Dissapointment (Review)

Hello there, Shepherd Commander, it has been too long so shall we see what i thought of your so called spiritual successor. 

I was sceptical of this game after Mass Effect 3 and the reveal of Andromeda. It's definitely not a 0/10 game like a lot of people are giving it in their tantrums of it failing to live up to their expectations.

UPDATE THIS REVIEW WAS ALSO POSTED INSIDE GAMESMASTER MAGAZINE LATEST ISSUE SEPTEMBER 2017!

WARNING THERE WILL BE SPOILS!

Drack getting uncomfortably close to me.

What's it about?

Long story short, the plot is finding a new home for humanity but there is a hostile new alien race that play as the villains. That's pretty much it, no plot twists, just forgettable moments till the credits roll. Your in a WHOLE new galaxy (not planet) but there are only 2 (TWO!!) new races for some reason. I guess they didn't bother to create more models.

Problems?

As I explored, I encountered the same building/structure as I previous did somewhere else in the map. The filler, fetch quests make a return, romance is just like the rest of the games from Bioware, squad mates can be romanced and to my knowledge all 'romance' scenes feature the iconic lazy fade-to-black transition. The game just feels forced in all areas. If we bypass the horrid animations, which is kind of hard to do in an RPG, it still feels like they only thought of the number of hours people would have to spend on getting through this game as a quality assurance. I would've been fine with a much more compact game if it was full of meaningful characters, events and the like. The whole twin thing was a huge waste and a lie to what they promoted.

It's a huge shame that a AAA studio with a large budget and 5-8 years of development time could not address this obvious flaw. It does have bad writing, there's not a lot of memorable moments there, It's more of a shooter than RPG, Skills are a joke i stuck with same 3 all game the system just does not feel as immersive or important, Narrative choices in the wheel often only fall to two choices. The logical choice doesn't always sound logical its as though someone with little understanding of the rules of logic designed this.

The emotional options give little to emotion. There was nothing inspiring when there was need for inspiration. Soundtrack was unnoticeable for me and that's a mark down because a good game is nothing without a soundtrack and this did not have a good memorable soundtrack. Quest Design this game made side quests feel boring. You go to each planet in which you have to change the atmosphere by going to each Tower solve a puzzle which lights a beam then go to the next site, rinse, wash, repeat until it points you to the final location then your done. No creativity just the same old trudge. Character designs were piss poor, it feels like every character had some type of skin and bone defect. Hell it feels like the reasons they left the milky way was because they were too ugly to look at so they were banished to the far corners of Andromeda. Ryder, whether you play as female or male is completely unlikable.

The story is uninspiring but not terrible, i mean it's not great either, nothing complicated but some parts have you questioning the plot. Voice acting is all over the place, i don't know what the hell was going on but sometimes this game felt like it was built by multiple studios instead of just one. The game is basically a lot of "meh" and a lot of "wtf is this", unless you really love running around different worlds and third person action "RPG" games a lot, like A LOT then don't bother with this one.

Did I like anything about it?

What i liked was driving the Nomad was not as bad as i expected, the crew you do grow on and it's what made me finish it, i wanted to see what happens next for them not for my unlike-able Ryder. The worlds were pretty neat so was flying about probing planets for resources. I liked the weapons, powers, skills and armour on offer. The Angaran's i liked.

Overtime the crew became likeable and i cared for them. 

Final Bit!

My initial hate for this game stemmed from it's reveal for me it did not look like a mass effect game rather a Star Trek rip off to be honest and i said "this looks rubbish" and i was correct it's bad but it's not good either its just OK. I was bored had no games to play so i borrowed the game off my friend James and 53 hours over a two week period later, i completed the game with 94% completion. My hate for the game also was strong because i compare all the Mass games to my fave and best in the series which is Mass Effect 2. I did realise i got to stop comparing ME:A to ME2 and i did you know start to get into it a bit more like i cared about my crew more so. So are you wondering what Ryder i played as? Female Ryder....and are you wondering who i banged? Ok so i banged Peebee (non relationship) and then i banged the reporter on Nexus (non relationship) , Kissed Suvi (non relationship) and then i got together and fully banged Jaal. He was so sweet in the game you know the most likeable easy.

The customisation is weak. The gun play is not very good nor is the cover system i found it annoying to try and get into cover and other times i'd just be in cover and it would annoy me as when i did not need it boom i had cover when i needed it half the time it did not work, it lagged on planets also which got annoying and lastly load times were too long and the repetitive cut scenes and planet visits you had to do were so tedious i groaned each time i had to go back to one place.

Ok that's all i will divulge from this disappointing game that drags on for too long with not much excitement it's a roller coaster with no turns and no steep bits to go up or down just a straight ride.

Mass Effect Andromeda

5/10

#FreeTheNipples but seriously i love Jaal and this scene and their relationship was a beautiful flower just loved seeing it blossom.

Besides Mass Effect 1-3 easter eggs there are these PLANTS V ZOMBIE easter eggs. 

Random Ramblin's: Part Tri!

Alri?

Yes i am back again with another bloggety blog. Ranting and stuff on things.

Why return and blog? - A question you are most probably wondering is that why am i blogging?,What are you doing this for? Why did you make one blog in 2010 and then leave it for 5 years? All great questions a simple summery answer is: I felt like its a right good time to return to here. Why did i not post anything else the past few years? Mainly because i forgot about this place and or my passwords and or had nothing to blog about so i concentrated more on my youtubing.

   ***FIRST AND FOREMOST I MEAN NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE WHO READS THIS                                                            NEXT PARAGRAPH! ***

I seen a sign in my town center the other day saying "Has science replaces religion? Take a booklet and explore today" i will pass on the booklet and i dont think science has replaces religion completely (darn it) I am not very religious. I am agnostic. I do and don't believe in higher powers aka a god! Yes i have prayed. Yes i have been to church. No i have not read all of the bible. If god exists and i see him in my next life in the clouds i will tell him straight "OI! Starving children,homeless people,incurable diseases? WHAT KIND OF PERSON ARE YOU TO BE WORSHIPPED UNDER?! You come across more as a devil than a holier than thou all mighty being." He/She/It would reply most likely with "Hey sorry dude ya gotta level good and evil out in the world" and i will fly back at him with my wings and say "No that's bullshit ya twat. If you are really thinking that is right at all or that is an appropriate answer then you can have this halo and these bastard fairy wings and shove it so i will hang with Satan alright?" and i will throw the halo at him and he will probably fire back with "Oh who do you think you are? HUH!? You think him down there in the pits of hell is a cool dude? He likes metal." Me: "So do i!" GOD: "Well he also likes torturing people" Me: "If the fucker tries sticking a fork in me i will be telling him to fuck right off and i will walk out of that place and go to limbo" God: "But dude its the devil and i am god and you were good in life so you belong with me" Me: "Oh god hang on now son don't be getting gay with me as i don't bat for that team you understand mate?" God: "I know but" Me: "You know what fuck it put me back on earth as a ghost i will have more fun there" God: "Urgh fine" Thanks almighty one. WOW I WENT OFF ON A TANGENT RANDOM ASS STORY SORRY! Science and religion still exist of course i don't believe either has replaced each other but SCIENCE SAVES LIVES MORE THAN PRAYING! I like to be in the middle and listen to both sides of this argument and arguments of religion tbh i take everyone's points into consideration. If you are worshiping a god that you kill people for then YOU ARE NOT WORSHIPING A GOD AT ALL, YOU ARE A NUTCASE! Science everyday makes new incredible miracle discoveries you can say and what is religion doing? Teaching people same old shit from an old book. LOOK there are good points and bad points the bible and many religions have. I AM NOT having an overall go at your beliefs and what not but i am stating my thoughts on religion and science and of a possible god up there ok. That is all i am going to comment here for now.

Microsoft - Say MS aint it such a brilliant idea to charge your loving users £80 FOR US TO BE ABLE TO WRITE AND MAKE POWERPOINTS!? FUCKING BASTARDS! Hey also Adobe photoshop lads BRILLIANT FUCKING IDEA TO OVERCHARGE THAT SHIT WE ALL WANT TO USE! WE CAN NOT AFFORD YOUR FUCKED UP PRICES OK SO LOWER THEM YOU PRICKS! WE WANT TO USE YOUR PRODUCTS BUT NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD THE PRICES YOU WANT FOR THEM SO FUCKING LOWER EM!? YOU ALL ARE ALREADY RICH SO PLEASE DO THE DECENT THING AND FACKIN LOWER UM!

FILM REVIEW - SPY (2015) 6/10 Jason Stateham is brilliantly funny in it.

Jeremy Kyle show - HOW COME ALMOST EVERY ONE WHO GOES ON IT HAS ALMOST NO TEETH!? Toothpaste and toothbrushes aint expensive!

Condoms - Right so why are there so many boys/men around who go bareback in to the nearest piece of tarts around huh? ALL MAKE THE SAME EXCUSE! "Oh i dont like the feel of condoms" TOUGH! You wear one or you get a disease ok or a kid. Having a kid you cant take care of or that you did not want is fucked up and i hate those kind of humans. Any girls reading this MAKE MEN AND WOMEN USE PROTECTION! DO NOT LET EITHER SEX TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU! ITS NOT A WOMAN'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CARRY AROUND CONDOMS FOR MEN! THAT IS THE MANS RESPONSIBILITY!  If they say any excuse for not having or wanting to use a condom tell them no or tell them to try something else to wrap their dicks around and if they say "oh i am allergic to the stuff" tell them to get the allergy free material or to show you their medical records alright! BE SAFE, BE SENSIBLE!

Medieval War! - So i watched Braveheart for the first time last night (WHAT REALLY SCOTT?!) Yes but i have seen parts of it in past so sorry for only now seeing it all the way through. I was watching and i realise that i would be incredibly shit at that type of war in real life. Running towards someone carrying heavy swords and or a shield over a big field? I be out of breath in 30 seconds XD I am also pretty quiet and nervous in groups of people i dont really know so forget any hardcore manly speeches unless i had a microphone XD  

 *****NEXT BIT MAYBE A BIT GRAPHIC******

What If?! : Alien Abduction - This is another new part to my blogging where i discuss what i would react like in a real life situation and today's what if, is what if i was Abducted by aliens? I would first think it was a dream or a prank so i be like "woah ok what the fucks going on here?" then upon realizing its not i would start panicking and denying it all being real "ok ok that's enough please no more please haha funny joke yes good prank who's idea was it" then they get the probe out and i be like "oh fuck oh fuck oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck" sobbing away as they stick their device up into myself and then i be asking to be taken home and shit and when i get home be scarred and scared for life unless they drug me to forgetting the whole deal. MADNESS EH!? YES WOW THIS TURNED MENTALLY BIZARRE SO FAST SCOTT!?
