9: Thank You Undertaker! - 61 Views!

Perhaps one of the most shocking and saddest moments last year is the legendary Undertaker's retirement....HOWEVER he is going to be on RAW 25 on Jan 22nd so i wonder why he will be there and what he will have to say or do. I can not thank the Undertaker enough for his hard work and dedication to the business. He is a hero of mine and has been since i first discovered wrestling when i was merely 6 years old. There will never be another Phenom.

2017: What Have I Learned?

So that's 2017 wrapped up. Another lap around the sun complete, another number added to us.

There's been good and bad, like any other year really. We've lost stars and we've lost a lot of good people last year too. . We've all had new starts too and even if you say nothings changed, something has.

MY LIFE IN 2017

For me, I started the year low being let go from my job in a game shop. It was sad indeed and I still miss working with the wonderful people there. I knew it was coming however and then I moved on. For a short while it was back to the dole be forced to do all that crap with them again for 30 odd hours a week until I landed my job with a local cinema chain. "A dream job for you" people told me. It was a good fit I won't lie and it's funny how few years ago I applied for a role there and I failed but this time I was successful. I'm so happy i got this role!

We all have our good and bad days, sometimes the bad days are brought on from others while other days it's just our own troubles. You know The Miz was voted wrestler of the year and I feel like I'm The Miz of my work. No matter what, I always put my blood,sweat and tears into everything I do, I'm not a throwaway, I work my hardest for what I want and I always try to improve upon myself. I also want to thank all my family and friends for putting up with me as ever, you make my day's, months, years go great, much love and respect for all of you!

Highlights?

Star letter in gamesmaster mag.

Game review published in gm as reader review.

New job.

New friends.

New ebooks released.
Held a Bearded Dragon.

Went to London for a lovely day out with work and went to madame tousauds and planet hollywood.

Went to Birmingham for work sports day and got to semi finals.

OVER 50K Blog views!

So what have I learned? 

I have learned that I'm quite the juggler, juggling life, work, YouTube, writing and social life altogether it's been hard but I've done a decent job. I have learned I am a bit harsh on myself and I've got a bit of a short temper and that I can and I will keep improving myself.

What's Next?

It's took me a couple of days to compose this post but I will say the past 8 days I have cut down what I eat and with work I'm always on the move almost every day so being active and eating less should do the trick of weight loss for me, i am keeping an eye on what i eat and how frequently and cutting down the junk so fingers crossed this works out and i come out of 2018 much lighter. This year i want to write more and bring you more ebooks and just enjoy life. I'm off to the gym with James soon, so i got to wrap it up here but everyone thanks for the love and support as ever!

I wish you all the best year ever, have a nice day and stay tuned for more wicked blogs from yours truly!

Top 10 Films Of 2017!

So the year is at it's end, BUT before we wave goodbye to 2017 let's recap the movies and my top 10 favourite films of the year. Now i have seen a lot of films this year and it's going to be a tough one but hey i am going to try my best and give my personal opinions and ranking these films and i hope you can let me know what films are in your top 10 of 2017 too!

In 2017 i have seen over 40 films in the cinema easily and that's a lot of hours spend on films! SOME FILMS MAY NOT BE HERE AS UK AND USA DO HAVE FILMS RELEASED ON DIFFERENT DATES. Like i want to watch The Shape Of Water but its not here in uk til January, sad times. 

I RECOMMEND ALL THESE FILMS FOR YOU TO WATCH!

10: The Disaster Artist 

When i heard of this film i thought "oh god why, why make a film based on the worse film ever?" and then when i seen the trailer i was like "ok this looks like a laugh riot" and then when i finally watched the film i was heavily surprised of how much of a heartwarming and inspiring film it is and feel sorry for Tommy but also happy for Tommy. It's a really good film! 

9: Split

Is a totally insane film which took me off guard i had heard before hand that it is a must see and it was one that was most talked about when it released and i enjoyed it, and i'd say it's M. Night's best film in years easily.

8: Kong: Skull Island

Well this was great. Hank Marlow was the best character though, which says a lot. Despite having a great cast. Conrad, Weaver and Randa were just so weak it was disappointing but they all have their moments just Marlow and Kong were best.

7: John Wick: Chapter 2

Great story following on from the first of course but Keanu is better than ever in the sequel and so is the action, regarding the action it is top notch and gruesome and i love the visuals too.

6: War For The Planet Of The Apes

I often forget about this film coming out this year with all the big releases but this is a hell of a film, it blows me away how perfect they have the cgi in the film, the apes look and feel so real, it's crazy! Loved it though. 

5: IT

The biggest horror film of the year was not GET OUT but it was IT! And IT is incredible! That's all i will say of IT! Best horror remake, one of the best King adaptions, loved it and enjoyed it, bring me part 2!

4: Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol 2

 

Funny, brilliant, gorgeous, and action packed are the words that sum up this belter from Marvel. The formula for a good Marvel movie is all in the Guardians and hey even Thor Ragnarok copied the formula and that too was brilliant but it was more of a comedy than hero film. 

3: Wonder Woman 

This film was incredible and i am so happy at how well it did in the box office, i really enjoyed it and i took my mate James along to see it, even though he's not into dc as much as me and does not know wonder woman that well he did initially say "i don't really want to watch it but i'll come along for a day out with you to watch it" his reaction after the film was the same as mine. Incredible. 

2: Power Rangers

Probably my most watched movie this year, i love Power Rangers, it's no secret. As a kid i wanted, i dreamt, i imagined i was a ranger or wanted to be one and what it would be like. The 2017 movie was amazing, i highly enjoyed it, i did have doubts but honestly it's such a well made movie and brings the movie to the modern era, there's still the cheese the series has in the movie but its all good and all entertaining and the actors and characters were fantastic, love this movie!

1: Baby Driver

My second most watched movie of the year is the one movie i have not stopped talking about and looking into very deeply about how it was made is the brilliant Baby Driver. From it's visuals to its actors, characters, colour schemes and soundtrack this film is top notch, my fave film of the year and its one that really caught me off guard. I seen a trailer and i thought "i think this will do well with awards but im not sure i'll like it" then i heard talks for ages of how good the film is and everyone in work who i work with was telling me to see it and so i caved and seen it and i loved it! 

God, this was a tough list to put together so many great films i have seen this year also. None of these films are perfect however, what film is? 

If a film was not here, don't worry, let's chat in the comments of our fave films and more!

Thanks for reading, stay shiny!

Top 10 Digimon

So because i did a Top 10 Pokemon list, how could i not ever do a top 10 digimon list!? Come on now Digimon is so much better than Pokemon.

10) Devimon

This evil Digimon is one of the first major adversaries of the Digidestined and does a great job at making life difficult for a merry band of heroic children. He's bad to the very core. As his name implies, Devimon is devilish in every way imaginable. There is literally nothing redeeming about this character. As such, his inevitable demise is all the more satisfying.

9) Rennamon

Renamon is powerful for a Rookie Digimon, as well as very swift and agile. She is far more mature than the other Rookie Digimon, considering her experience and her jaded view on life. Renamon's feral features and penetrating icy blue eyes can make her seem quite intimidating, even when she does not mean to give that impression. Her character development and her abilities made me love this digimon a lot back in season 3, she is so unique.

8) Gallantmon

Gallantmon is an Exalted Knight Digimon. One of the "Royal Knights", it is a being containing contradictions, as it is called a guardian deity of the Net despite being a Virus attribute, and if by any chance its balance is lost, it is possible for it to become a dangerous being. It pilots the Flying Dragon machine "Grani", as a dragon knight that races across the skies. Gallantmon was the first Biomerged Digimon to appear. Gallantmon first appeared when Takato Biomerged with Guilmon in order to fight Beelzemon. In this new form, Gallantmon was able to defeat Beelzemon. He also destroyed Caturamon during the battle, but it was Beelzemon who absorbed his data. Gallantmon's power proved a major asset in the battle against the D-Reaper. Gallantmon played a key role in confronting the D-Reaper and in obtaining the ARMS "Grani" as his mode of transportation. In the English version he often speaks with a merged voice between Guilmon and Takato, representing that he is a fused dual entity of the two both physically and mentally and often retains the childish mentality of Guilmon in part. Such a badass and powerful digimon he had to be on my list.

7) Magnamon

Magnamon is a Warrior Digimon. It armour digivolved through the power of the Digi-Egg of Miracles. It possesses tremendous defensive ability, its offensive power is equivalent to that of a Mega Digimon, or even greater, and it is one of the "Royal Knights". That moment he gets his form in the first movie is so badass and certainly a memorable one.

6) SHOUTMON X7 SUPERIOR MODE

Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode (there’s a mouthful) might be the strongest “good” Digimon that the Digital World has ever seen. However, with the franchise slowly growing in vast ways that complicate the mythology and even add new “multiverses” into the mix, SX7SM falls down in the rankings a little bit when considering all of the Digimon that command control over the multiverse rather than just a singular world. Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode is also another of those last-ditch apocalypse scenarios where all (or at least most; there’s a bit of debate over this) of the Digimon in the Digital World fuse together to form this goliath who is capable of taking down Digimon Fusion’s threat. In fact, SX7SM’s fused body becomes so massive from all of the Digimon that it’s absorbing that a number of “runoff Digimon” are left orbiting its body like a satellite would to a planet. SX7SM has taken down MegaDarknessBagramon, UltimateKhaosmon, and Fanglongmon, which are no small feats and explain his placement here.

5) Mastemon

It is an Angel Digimon who manipulates light and darkness, and has the power to cross through space-time. The combination of angewoman and ladydevimon makes this incredible angel. Besides all this we don't know an awful lot about this amazing being but it's debut and moves and design is why i love it so much!

4) Alphamon

Alphamon is a Warrior Digimon and a carrier of the X-Antibody. While it is one of the "Royal Knights", it is said that to the Holy Knights it is a being similar to a deterrent force, and as it doesn't appear in normal times, it is also called the "Aloof Hermit" who flutters a blue mantle, and is the Royal Knight assigned to the place called the "Empty Seat". Because it possesses the "Alpha inForce" ability, an ultimate force which, in battle, instantaneously replays the elapsed battle, although Alphamon's attacks are over in just an instant, you can't grasp how many attacks it actually unleashed, and in theory, you can only see the final blow that brought down its opponent. It can deploy a magic circle of DigiCode from its hands to perform offence and defence. Alphamon i first discovered through the cyber sleuth game and without spoiling anything he/she/it looks cool, is cool and is powerful as hell and can transform. Alphamon also appears in digimon tri and i highly recommend you watch those!

3) Beezlemon

A merciless Digimon named after Satan (Beezlebub) himself. Beezlemon is ruthless and a loner, but has a sense of honor, and seeks to find opponents worthy to challenge him. He wields two shotguns, and rides a giant motorcycle called Behemoth. Beezlemon is known to target his opponent's heart when firing weapons at them. He represents the sin of gluttony, and the planet Venus. It took Impmon a lot to get this form and so it's so memorable when he got it and to see his journey to the little runt to the devil incarnate. 

2) BlackWargreymon

Arguably the most famous Digimon of all time, BlackWarGreymon adds a dark color scheme and a brutal personality to Agumon's Mega form. Similarly to Beezlemon, BlackWarGreymon is merciless, but despises cowardice and seeks to find meaning in life. In the original anime, Digimon Adventure, BlackWarGreymon acted as a sort of anti-hero, sometimes cooperating with the protagonists, and sometimes working against them. I remember the awe we felt as kids seeing an eviler version of our hero WarGreymon.

1) Omnimon

What happens when you fuse the awesomeness of Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon? The greatest Digimon of all time, that's what! Omnimon is hands-down the greatest and most powerful Digital Monster to ever grace the series, combining the power of both Tai and Matt's loyal companions. 

So that's my list, what ya think? Let me know.

Thanks for reading, stay shiny!
