My week off!

             [Quickmeme]

Hello everybody. I took an inpromptu week off this week. Was only meant to be for Thanksgiving weekend but on Sunday I started to get a bad flu. Still not quite right at the moment. Chicken noodle soup would be great at the moment.

So what have I been watching on my week off? Besides the shows I usually write for this week I started watching Mr. robot, and I have to say it is pretty great. Think Fight Club meets The Social Network, very much shot like a David Fincher movie. It's gritty and had me hooked pretty quickly. Definitely a must see for those who haven't watched it already.

So I decided it was time to watch some Christmas Movies and I popped this on. I thought it would be great and I'd be instantly transported back to my childhood. It wasn't great, it was OK I suppose and the ending was pretty great. I'm no prude but what I can't abide is nakedness for no reason and when Billy Ray Valentine gets his new life he has a houseparty where random women get naked for the sake of it. But if you like that sorta thing then you'll love it. Though it's main theme is pretty much relevant to today's society, so it has aged pretty well. We'll besides all the random boobs.

So when the Civil war trailer broke I went back and rewatched Winter Soldier (for I think the sixth time this year). It's a great movie, I am always enthralled by it. The action, the story, the big plot twist and the even bigger plot twist. I don't even think of this movie as a Superhero movie, it's a great spy/action/thriller with some great comedy thrown in. Would definitely be at my number one spot of Marvel movies if Guardians hadn't been made. Though this movie made me like Captain America, which was no small feat.

So I don't usually talk about games but I played through Episodes 1-3 of the TellTale games series at the weekend and I loved it so much I had to break the rules for it. I did not think I'd enjoy playing a bit character in this world but I was wrong, the graphics can look basic but at times it looks so beautiful, especially the Wall and beyond. I smashed through the first three, the story is great, I screeched when I released my location in the first scene. It's pretty fun and really engaging, if you enjoy a good role playing game or if you like Game of Thrones then you will definitely enjoy this. I also got the walking dead set for free but I enjoyed GoT best. Hopefully get 4-6 for Christmas. 

So that's my views on my week of viewing, what about yours, comment below. If you like my ramblings then please feel free to check out some of my posts below.

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming.    "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Lion Rampant

So for those of you who haven't heard about this project it was leaked during the Sony hack. This as a potential sequel to Braveheart called Lion Rampant, after the flag I have shown above. Really it should be called Braveheart as Robert the Bruce was called the Brave Heart and his heart was taken into battle after his death. Depicting Robert the Bruce's story and the Battle of Bannockburn (24th June 1314) in Scotlands first war for independance where King Edward II was beaten in battle by a small force lead by Robert the Bruce. Robert the Bruce in Braveheart was shown as a traitor and I am hoping that this upcoming movie would mean that he will hopefully get the makeover he so rightly deserves. Although he did pay homage to Edward I, The Bruce really secretly supported Wallace (later publicly supporting him) and he did not betray Wallace, that was Sir John Menteith. This could easily turn into a what's wrong with Braveheart post so I will state that they did get the...

I dropped the ball!

                                                    ........ Image courtesy of paradigmalibu These last few months I've felt as if I have dropped the proverbial ball, my mind has been witness to a stand off between Mental health disorders and things from my past I'd rather not constantly have to relive. It's buried itself into my soul while operating my mindless drone of a body, I've relived every conversation I ever had; thought of Friends long gone as I struggle to open up about my disability. I don't even like calling it that as it feels disrespectful to people like my parents; who's struggle and sheer joy of receiving two disabled free babies has been with me my entire life. But I am not OK - I feel like I have to admit that to the world. A miscarriage has taken me back mentally to a place I've not been for a very long time, and I'm petrified t...
