I hope that creeps you out as much as it did with me. I found this image a while ago in a "book of illusions" or something to that effect. I mean I'm pretty sure it had a better title, but that is not the point! The funny thing is, is that I found this image, just weeks after the famous Multimedia Celebrity Poker QL (one of the best without a doubt) and as you can imagine after seeing demon Fra...

Finally got it through the post. Little bit of a wait, but it was worth it. Now i can fufill my dreams of being the big red monster that is Will Smith, one sip at a time...well that is a little weird i will admit. Thanks Tested! Now the long wait for the Lincoln Force T-shirt...

I was thinking...should i start "blogging" again? I have felt incredibly detatched from my profile, because...i never use it, ever. It's a damn shame too, i wish i was back in my flow and outta my funk if you get me. So this is me testing if anyone responds, because i could blog to myself instead and consequently not bother at all, but that's no fun.

Not too long ago i sketched Ryan, Vinny, Jeff and Brad with crappy writing pencils, the resuts were...messy. That can be clearly seen in my old forum post , that most people thought was creepy. SO, i went and got some new sketching pencils (i had these before, but i lost 'em, shame on me) Here are two pictures of one, Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria , Shabutie and Prize Fighter Inferno fa...

Ok so i've hit a weird wall. I, for some reason, love World of Warcaft, the sheer amount of varied land and content to explore, seems to always have me by the throat, and never lets go, until now. Now i'm just bored with it, i started proper in March 2008 and put roughly 6 months into it. spread over the year. Thankfully i'm no die-hard player who literally talks in dungeon code, like some play...

Skate was awesome, it was the realistic skating experience i had been looking for ever since the THUG days. (because they weren't that great nor realistic) So i can safely say that Skate 2 has the chance to be even more awesome, so here are some of the things i like and the things that i don't like so far from the demo (Most of this stuff is aesthetic, since the gameplay has thankfully remained...

I love Lord of the Rings, and i love Tolkien, and being British i find my self having a huge appreciation for the setting and its "close to home" European flavour. So in theory, if you take what the films did with Battles, and roll that into Battlefield/Battlefront, i should immediately fall in love with The Lord of the Rings Conquest...Wrong. What im suffering with here, is atmosphere and accu...

Yeah so i decided to start a twitter account... To those who also have one, hook us up so i can follow you, and you can follow me...or at least i hope you follow me. Username is Death_Burnout as always.

I just wanted to say to those who have bothered to click on this... Have A Good Christmas!!! certainly to those who celebrate it of course. To those who didn't bother to see this, i think you're an asshole. Well its been a shitty year for me So on that note, Have a good time !

Honestly, its difficult to say what the worst game i played this year, and the reason being is simple: I found more than one game to be the worst i've played this year, So in turn, i shall compose a top 3 worse games (sorry for bending the rules!!!) 3. Mercenaries 2 : now, i'd rather phrase this as most disappointing game, but since i can't, it goes at number 3. The premise is fine, blow shit u...

So lately i've been spending my spare time (which i have a lot of) on drawing members of the GiantBomb Staff, that would include Ryan, Vinny, Jeff and Brad. Drawing is something that im good at, but simply not that good at, you get me? For the drawings i simply look at a screen shot or whatever and transfer what i see to paper the best i can, sadly, most screen shots and paused videos are low e...

Thats something i didn't think i'd ever say, but i like a golf game. Previously i always gave them an "eh" yet still enjoyed the numerous demo's that i tried, but this time, whilst playing the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09 demo, something finally hooked me in, and i bought the damn game the next day without hesitation. So what grabbed me? im not even entirely sure but damn its addictive and fun, and...

I thought i might as well give my thoughts on the L4D demo, instead of say to myself, "i'll do it later" But i'll keep this as short and sweet as i possibly can because for the people who really know me, i never shut up, so here it goes... ZOMFG !! You see what i did there? anyway, popular internet phrases aside, i fucking love Left 4 Dead, and not that i thought i wouldnt be impressed, because...

Just thought i'd let you know to those of you who might care, i got a new PC finally after having to wait a month for a Dell XPS only to have it cancelled by Dell Themselves. So yeah, New PC, Lets see how long this lasts...its a HP Pavillion Elite M9280 *crowd goes "Ooooh"* Im Currently enjoying Crysis , well, mostly, it runs on medium/high settings farily well but im still suffering from some...

Im going to keep this short because im pretty damn furious. Over 4 weeks ago i ordered a new PC from Dell because my old one died, it was a Dell XPS... It was supposed to take 10 working days....cool Then i got an e-mail saying it would take 15 working days... ok But then on the 15th working day i got Another e-mail, saying its been pushed back another 2 weeks (August 4th) due to popularity.......

I've made a list.... Check It Out!!! (Make sure you click on the list to view it properly and i do understand that its gone 1 to 10 downwards so read from bottom to top)

Shaun White, Eat Your Heart Out! So i finally got my wireless Xbox 360 Network Adapter today, so that means i'll be on Xbox Live a little more. I downloaded the Too Human demo to finally see what i make of it and my verdict is.... Not "Too Bad" Get it? haha...ugh shoot me. But yeah, i think the games pretty good, oh ok yes...the camera DOES indeed suck, only because we are all so used to having...

Whats Batista Scared Of? (Some honourable game spoofs in there)

Y'know what? GiantBomb Rocks and always has done from the very beginning, so yeah, this is my new blog home. Previously my blog became deader than tank tops (thanks Cat!) so i hope that this time i'll be somewhat more frequent with posts. Theres tons of stuff to do on this site aint there? its kinda scary, i hope it doesnt become an You're Gunna Squeeze Their Rolls!? editing war, that would be...
