Feature – The Jeremy Kyle Drinking Game!

At 5am when I wake up before work the only thing on the telly is the Jeremy Kyle Show, a show which I tolerate because it’s rather fascinating as to the sort of people who go on this show for similar reasons. You can’t help but wonder where they get these people from, even bordering on questioning its legitimacy. As I continued to watch it with my morning cup of tea I started to notice little consistencies between each show. Whenever I mentioned these to people no one seemed to notice. I can only deduce that as a Media Studies Graduate that I have developed a keen sense of noticing patterns in TV and films. I’m in around £14,000 worth of debt and now finally it’s paid off. Now I’ve compiled a list, for you, the clueless observer. It’s not your fault if you haven’t noticed these before; you didn’t pay for the knowledge ¬_¬

Video Gains: A Man’s Guide for Game Music at the Gym Part 2

Naturally there are more ch00ns out there from games for you to get your gains on to. I couldn’t stop at the ones provided, and let us be honest, why would I? You can’t always work out to four songs. People need variety at times. I go through periods of obsession where I get so caught up in a couple of songs that I listen to them constantly until I get tired of them. Currently it’s a lot of The Offspring songs. Anyways, on to the gains.

Video Gains: A Man’s Guide for Game Music at the Gym

Ever since a Pure Gym opened rather close to my work, I’ve tried to attend at least thrice a week. It normally goes down to twice depending on bothered I can be and whether I brought my gym attire with me. Some people I know like to go to the gym together so they can spot each other and probably have a nice chat about the weather as they’re pumping iron. Personally I like to gym alone. Headphones in and let the melody dictate my pace. During some tracks I found myself going at a leisurely pace when the melody wasn’t that fast, but as the tempo kicked up my speed increased. Here shall be the archive of video game tracks that have found their way into my ears during a workout, updated whenever I find a new one, with some potential advice.

Many names for machines/equipment may not be their actual names, just what I call them in my head.

Oh, I also know bugger all about music.

Review: Destiny Quest Infinite

I almost never wrote this review. The original beta I was given to play crashed after a nice amount of progress on two occasions. Although third time is apparently the charm it wasn’t something I was willing to risk my time on…

Review: Munin

The ravens on mighty Odinn’s shoulders sit,
At daybreak to Midgardr they depart,
To eye all tidings of men they’ll there see,
Hugin and Munin, night after night

It’s hard to use the opening paragraph for a review to entice you when it’s a poem. Just click the link, it’s really good writing. Honest.

Review: Super Win The Game

The first thing you may think when playing Super Win the Game is “pure plagiarism.” The sprites seem pulled from the source game – they have been subtly altered so they aren’t sprite copies, but the inspiration is obvious. Super Win borrows environments and elements from several well-known games.
