The Monkeychunk Show 007:Licence to Kill Women

Hey guys, in case you aren’t already subscribed to this show, here’s the latest episode of the podcast which I co-host with Steve Ridley, aka Monkeychunkuk (of S4G fame). This week we (still) talk about Skyrim, but throw in some other game and movie talk including my thoughts on the new Twilight film. As it’s a “proper” episode we also answer your “Dear John” questions, talk about our App of the Week and also choose the next item for the Steve vs John challenge.

It’s available by direct download, or on iTunes.

My video of the week (47 of 52)

It’s been a while since I’ve done a video of the week, but I’ve been tickled so much by a few videos from YouTube user MultiNinja20 that I couldn’t resist posting them here. What you are about to see (or have possibly already seen if you happened to click first without reading this) is a trailer for “12:00″ parts 1, 2 and 3, which I have deduced to be some kind of action/sci-fi movie trilogy from Ghana.

Obviously copyright laws aren’t as prevalent within the industry as they are in Hollywood, so the trailers feature a myriad of characters you’ll have seen in other films. Considering that millions of dollars haven’t been spent on special effects, the action is even more entertaining.

If you enjoyed this video, why not check out the other films on offer from MultiNinja20, which include 2016 (an Aliens versus Terminator mashup), Devil May Cry (probably not affiliated with the video game), Godfather part 1 and 2 and Nkrato a film about an orc from Oblivion wearing Cylon armour (I shrugged at this one too).

Too many games, not enough time

Too many games

I’ve been meaning to update the blog with the games I’ve been completing lately, but I’ve been struck by the realisation that I have a severe problem – I have too many games! Right now I’ve got these Xbox 360 titles on my playlist:

  • Gears of War 3
  • The Adventures of Tintin
  • Battlefield 3
  • Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3
  • Skyrim

Finding the time to “finish” them is proving nigh impossible, but keep watching this space for the inevitable reviews links/opinion pieces. I’m hoping to get at least 3 out of the 5 completed before I head home for Xmas.

In the mean time, if you want to get my incomplete and uneducated opinions in an audio format, please download The Monkeychunk Show, possible the world’s greatest podcast that I’ve been a host on. Be warned it may contain sweary words, naughty jokes and the occasional incorrect fact.

Oops I did it again…

How to kill a blog in 50 days

Ah the classic behaviour of a blog owner, without the right inspiration and routine, it turns out I’ve abandoned this blog! I think I’ve done this with every single iteration of the blog, so I can see a pattern occurring, usually around the half year mark. I’m not sure how I become so disconnected from posting regularly, maybe it’s the choice of video games I’m playing that keeps me distracted, or the activities I spend my time doing.

I’m doubtful anyone has me subbed in an RSS feed (I’ve never got round to checking the analytics side of this blog), but if you read this post then I thank you for your patience. If you’re wondering what I’ve been up to since my last post on August 20th, well here’s my attempt at a recollection:

So that’s a brief re-cap of the last two months, I see now how I allowed myself to get carried away! Right now I’ve got Gears 3 and Dark Souls on the go, with Dead Island and Persona 4 eyeing them jealously, so my time already seems jam packed! Stay tuned and maybe I’ll post something here at some point within the next 60 days :D

My video of the week (33 of 52)

Few words can really be spoken about the magnitude of awesome that is on display in this clip. Sixty-four players, all running/driving/flying around at once! Absolutely mental. Of course it’s from the PC version, but I’m hopeful that the console releases will be at least 50% as amazing as this, which will still make for some compelling gameplay.
