#Skyrim Legendary Collector's Edition Guide!

Soo, earlier this week Prima Games released it's Legendary Edition Guide for Skyrim (4th June 2013) three days ahead of the Legendary Edition of the game's release here in the UK.

I happened to be looking for some Skyrim merchandise or something physical i could display or use when the game isn't being played and was looking at the guides available, i like having guides for my favourite games, it seems a bit silly in one sense because usually i know a LOT about the games I like most. But i like reading different perspectives and seeing if there's anything i didn't know or hadn't thought of yet. Anyway after looking around, i found a few older versions of the guide & didn't know whether to bother with them or not. I sat there pondering it for a while, after a little while Danielle (my fiancé) started asking me about the Legendary Edition of the guide, so i had a look at it on Amazon & before i knew what had happened she told me that she'd got me the Hardback Collector's Edition!

I can't thank her enough!

This Guide is truly EPIC. It arrived this morning via Royal Mail & straight away i could tell it was huge. The package was very weighty & large in size.

The guide is very well put together & the hardcover looks fantastic, the only thing that very very slightly disappointed me was that from the pictures i thought it was a textured front & back cover but it's totally smooth, however it does look amazing & in a way i think it's quite cool that even now it can fool you into thinking it is textured when it isn't.

The guide itself is very, very thick. But then that is definitely expected considering the gigantic scale of the game. On the inside of the front & back covers you can find the extras such as the very large double sided map and the poster of Alduin's Wall and at the back of the guide (between the back cover and the shrink wrap) you can find your code to access the online guide & maps on the Prima Games website, found HERE.

It's too early for me to comment on the content of the guide but i have flicked through it & it looks EXTREMELY detailed, the index itself is about three pages long & there are extensive appendices at the back. I can't wait to sit and read some of the content in it, it's sure to be incredible. Put it this way, reading the guide is a daunting enough prospect so i can't imagine how much time and work went into making this!

Here is the amazon description for the guide i have:

COLLECTOR'S EDITION BONUSES INCLUDE-
EXCLUSIVE POSTER

RIBBON BOOKMARKS - Use premium ribbon bookmarks to keep your place in this massive guide!

Here is the Bethesda Blog Entry interviewing the lead writer of the Guide David Hodgson which gives you a much clearer idea of how vast the guide is and the effort that went into it, i would highly suggest giving this a read, it's informative & funny too!

Anyway here are a few pictures of my Guide! I would definitely suggest buying this if you love Skyrim! Truly Epic!

#Gamers May end up bringing "Big Brother" into their homes... #XboxOne #PS4

I'm going to try and keep this fairly short, because i could go into this for hours and hours likely. Basically I've spotted something that i find a little bit disturbing about both the Xbox One and the PS4. They both (well at least one of them) seem to be adding cameras to their consoles (not built in obviously) but they seem like they may be necessary to actually use the console. Which i find just a little bit strange, i can understand that things move on and technology moves on, but what happened to the cameras being an accessory? Something you don't have to use if you don't want to? Now both Sony and Microsoft, at the same time, are almost making it compulsory to have a camera. (I can't say for sure about PS4 because it's yet to be revealed properly)

With the Xbox one, not only is it a necessary thing, the console itself seems to "require" an internet connection & it's been said that it needs to be connected to the internet at least once a day... WHY? Can we not just get updates as and when we need them? Why once a day? Not only that, but i've read that the camera doesn't actually go off, it's in a "standby" state waiting a command... I'm sure!

I'm not one of those people who think that absolutely everything is a conspiracy, i don't think reptiles are taking over the planet, but i do my research into things that really happen in the world and i know that it's a dark place.

 Has nobody else noticed that nowadays nearly EVERYONE is on Facebook or Twitter? All advertising their daily doings, their likes, dislikes, information is put on these sites either without realising or because it is necessary that people can gather about you and build a profile. Nowadays if the government want to find something out (or police), they'll probably look for you online first, see if they can build up a picture.

I find it funny just how many people have fallen into the trap of airing all their business to the world. All because most people are sheep.

You may be thinking "yeah but you have twitter" or "rich coming from someone who blogs" but i think you'll find I'm very careful about what i let people know about my private life. Funnily enough I have nothing to hide, i don't do drugs, i barely ever drink, i don't do anything illegal to my knowledge. But i still don't like the idea of people knowing more than i want/need them to know about me.

Now, with the mandatory cameras with the new consoles and at least for the Xbox, the mandatory internet connection, oh and just as i type that another thought about the PS4, a mode where you don't turn the console off and it "gets updates" while you're not using it... that just screams to me that someone wants the majority of households to have cameras, what is stopping Microsoft, Sony or whoever they're in league with from tapping into the cameras on our consoles, especially since they're aiming at our consoles being constantly connecting to the net...

I know I'm going to get called all sorts and people are going to think I'm just another conspiracy theorist, but just think about it for a little while, stop thinking stuff like that is impossible or stupid and just think about it... it's quite a creepy prospect.

Re-Live Your Favourite GTA Vice City Moments!

With GTA V getting ever nearer i've found myself remembering some of my favourite moments from previous GTA Games. Vice City being my favourite of the series so far. I loved being able to cruise around in my favourite cars listening to some quality tunes.

These are some things i think that a lot of us probably did, some of them might just be me being bored and stupid however.

  • Cruise around listening to your favourite radio station/songs.
  • Stayed in the car until you've either finished listening to you're favourite song, even if you're just about to finish a mission.
  • Got a nice shiny car in the colour you want it, then cruised around stopping at all the lights, until some fool plows into your car, at which point you calmly get out and shoot the fucker in the face, then return to your motor like nothing happened. (or something similar)
  • Immediately cycled the radio stations when getting into a new vehicle to find your favourite tunes, even if time is of the essence.
  • Stolen the police car of the cop that tried to arrest you, either or tried to steal a police car while he cops are inside. 
  • Used a spawn vehicle cheat on the highest building you could find, then driving it over the edge.
  • I remember once (On San Andreas) driving over the top of the tallest building while the parachute was on my back, then bailing out of the car while it was in the air and deploying the parachute, just like some James Bond stunt. I never manged to do it again though!
  • Again on San Andreas, stealing the Jumbo Jet and then seeing how many barrel rolls i could pull off without crashing the plane.
  • On Vice City, getting suited up in the best looking outfit and then taking the helicopter on the roof of your mansion to go around all of your businesses and pick up the profits.
  • Whacking anyone who gave you lip.
  • Doing the Vigilante missions in a Tank or the Army Helicopter (Brown Thunder?), that was fun.
  • Outfitting your car with a bomb and then intentionally leaving it somewhere to get stolen.
  • Outfitting your car with a remote bomb and then driving it really fast at a crossing, jumping out while it's moving and then detonating the car at the point of most destruction.
  • Stole the Invincible car and keeping it for yourself during one of the Early VC missions, storing it in a garage for later use. (It's an admiral i think)
Those are just some of the things i can think of, let me know some of your favourite memories from the GTA series. I reckon we have all done similar things!

Anyway. As Vice City is my favourite one of the series, mainly due to the music, i have found my favourite radio station to share with you. I tried uploading this myself, but youtube decided that it was copyright infringement, so i deleted the video that took about 6 hours to upload. Yet somehow this guy, with the exact same video & music, has managed to keep it on youtube. So here it is!

FEVER 105!


If you would like to download this Radio Station or ANY of the other Radio Stations in Vice City, please visit my Download Page

So get in touch! Let me know your favourite memories & favourite radio station/s!

Bioshock Infinite PS3 Premium Edition & Limited Edition Guide

Well, i got a bit of money for my Birthday and hadn't purchased myself a new game for a while. I had a couple of games in mind, I wanted to get Star Trek, but i read a really bad review about it and saw some video, the review seemed to be quite correct. So i decided to wait until it's a lot cheaper.

That left me with Dead Island Riptide (which i got a normal copy of) and Bioshock Infinite. I could have purchased this brand new for around £35 from Amazon, but i decided to get the Premium edition for an extra £15. The premium edition contains (description following stolen from Amazon)

ART BOOK
This 64-page collectible mini-edition of The Art of BioShock Infinite provides a substantial look at the full version, published by Dark Horse Comics. This special-edition art book offers an exclusive peek at the development of the game’s unique art style, and features a handdistressed linen cover, early designs, and concept art.
DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT
Digital Soundtrack: Downloadable soundtrack features music from BioShock Infinite and is exclusive to the Premium and Ultimate Songbird Editions.
Gear Pack: Start the game with three exclusive Gear power-ups:
• Bull Rush: Melee strikes from a sprint have a chance to knock the
enemy down.
• Extra! Extra!: Audio logs also grant a bounty of “Silver Eagles” – ingame
currency.
• Betrayer: Killing your possessed enemies causes them to explode in a fireball that deals damage.
PlayStation 3 players get BioShock Infinite themes.
LITHOGRAPHIC PRINT
A real-life piece of propaganda from BioShock Infi nite’s world of Columbia, this heavy-stock lithograph print, an ad for the Devil’s Kiss vigor, was designed by Jorge Lacera, concept artist at Irrational Games.
HANDYMAN FIGURINE
Get ready to play the upcoming BioShock Infi nite board game, BioShock Infi nite: The Siege of Columbia, created and published by Plaid Hat Games. With this exclusive, 25mm resin-cast Handyman figure, you’ll have a head start.
MURDER OF CROWS KEYCHAIN
This follow-up to the highly-demanded, full-size Murder of Crows replica bottle is an exclusive 3” keychain. It is fully 3-dimensional, hand-painted and distressed, and features a sturdy brass ring.
Well when it came in i was a little underwhelmed by the packaging, even though it was sealed up, the box was slightly mis-shapen due to no care being taken handling the box (i think) with a few scuffs and creases and one side being bent outward.



 
Aside from the outer packaging, the contents were a little better. The handyman figure is very, very small and not particularly well detailed, but i didn't really expect anything different. I like the box it comes in though.




 The Keychain is not bad, i don't use keychains so i personally just kept it in it's individual wrapping. Looks quite nice though. Definately plastic.

 
The lithographic print is pretty cool and you see the very same poster much bigger in the game. I have mine blu tacked to the side of my games tower (which sits right next to my seat), so i can see it all the time.


 The PS3 Theme is not too bad as themes go, but i tend not to use them because there's usually something i don't like about the theme. At the moment I'm using it, but only because I've technically paid for it!

I've downloaded all the extra content, some of it is quite helpful (especially "Extra! Extra!" this is quite useful, i put it on just before i pick up a voxophone and take it back off for something more combat worthy after picking it up), the other items I've not really taken much notice of.

 
The soundtrack has also been downloaded, it's nothing special presentation wise, it kinda feels a little bit un-organised, i've not listened to it yet but i'm sure it'll be good.

My favourite part is the Art Book, it feels really well made and the glossy pages inside show some lovely high quality artwork from the game. Although I've not looked all the way through it yet because I don't want to see anything I've not already seen in the game. Also (like other artbooks) I'm scared of opening it out too much haha.


As for the game, I'm really enjoying it, however like an absolute fool,  i went for Hard mode straight away and it's quite a challenge, mainly because I'm learning everything on Hard instead of already having knowledge of the game's weapons, characters, powers, levels and enemies having played an easier difficulty. But aside from going straight in at the deep-end it's really fun and looks amazing. I've just started going through the hall of the heroes with Elizabeth, on my way to get Shock Jockey. Also, before i forget, the cover for the game is reversable, so if you don't like the original cover you can change it to the reverse side.






I also purchased the Limited Edition Strategy Guide, the guide is Hardback and looks awesome, the pages are glossy/smooth with great information, maps, tips and tricks and pictures to help you navigate your way through the game. It's helped me a great deal so far, especially having gone in straight on Hard. It comes with a small playing Card and a Bird/Cage Key which is a replica of the key used in the game to free Elizabeth. The card is nice (but i'll have absolutely no use for it) and the Key looks great! It's a decent size and is sat it it's own housing that comes with the guide. Although I've not removed it from it's packaging because i have no reason to.






I'd definately reccomend getting this if you love the Bioshock games & it's a hell of a lot cheaper than the Songbird Edition. For only £15 more than the game itself, you can't go to far wrong with this! The guide was around £12 or something so that's also a bargain!

Black Ops 2 - Prestige 12 ? #blackops2

Hi there people!

At last i have managed to get Prestige Master on Black Ops 2! It's only taken me a rediculous amount of time and has angered me no end. (Thankyou Elle for putting up with my frequent outbursts and i am very sorry for that)

Anyway i thought i'd take a look at my shiny new emblem and have a gander at my stats on the call of duty elite website http://www.callofduty.com/elite only to find that it says "You're ready for Prestige 12 / Level 1"
WHAT THE F*** I really hope they aren't planning on adding more prestige levels, it's taken me long enough to get to the maximum level as it is, i'd rather not spend more time getting to the top again!



The proof is above. There's even an emblem for it, which i hear is from Black Ops I.

I did a little bit of research and found that people have managed to hack further than Prestige Master and have found there to be up to Prestige 15. So I'm guessing that means they've left room for expansion at some point.

That begs the question... what possible incentive could they give us to make us want to actually spend many many more hours of our lives to get to Prestige 15? 

I really hope they don't bother adding more Prestige levels, but I'm sure they've allowed more levels for a reason and I'm fairly sure they've allowed us to see that there's possibly more prestiges for a reason. 

If they are going to add more, they'd better make it worthit.

As for the time being, I'm going to find something better to play. AT LAST!

Black Ops II - League Play thoughts and observations

After joining the Team Deathmatch series league half way through and doing league play for the very first time this month, i thought i'd share some of my observations and thoughts on it. 

After my first five placement matches (of which i won all of them) i was placed in the platinum division. Which to my knowledge is the top 20% of active players. I was quite proud of this alone, especially considering there's only 1 division above that and that's the master devision (top 2%). I'm not entirely sure how they work it out but i guess i was there for a reason. 

Anyway, the league finished on Monday and after struggling the past couple of weeks to get in the top 10 and stay there, i failed to do so *sad face*, but i then realised that i had joined the league games half way through season 4. If i had joined from the beginning i think i could have managed the top 10. I managed to reach 7th place but that was very short lived after a few matches with idiots on my team, then managed to claw back from 19th to 8th and again more idiots took me back to around 15th. 

So after a lot of back and forth in the rankings, i finally finished the season at rank 18 *yay*

So at least out of the 250 people in my sub-division i managed to get in the top 20.
Im currently waiting on my league best emblem to appear on my playercard.

So a few of my observations about the league play. It could be a lot better but i guess it could also be a lot worse. I think one of the worst problems with league play is the matchmaking system, to be quite honest i would have expected to be matched with people in the same division/league as me, instead of that i found that i kept getting people who were a lot worse on my team and people that were a lot better on the other team. For example quite a few matches i would end up with people in lower divisions and the other team would have more than one master on it. 
That makes for an unfair advantage for the other team. I also found that sometimes, regardless of whether or not you have people that look like they could be good on your team, they turn out to be utter rubbish.
More often than not i found myself to be on the losing team, even if my own personal score was good there would be 2 or more people with scores like 5-15 or something like that, that meant that because of other people's failings i more often than not, lost a large amount of points. 

I personally went into the league games expecting a challenge and a higher class of player, only to find that there were still plenty of idiots who would continually run into someone camping in the same spot over and over and die, more often than not, those idiots were on MY team.

I didn't really enjoy the league play as much as i thought i would, mainly because of the idiots i kept getting teamed up with. I'm all for a challenge but when i have utter morons on my team, a challenge becomes "the impossible". 

So my advice is this. If you want to play league play on Black Ops 2, RUN IT IN A TEAM. I unfortunately don't have a group of people to play Black Ops 2 with regularly (although i am hoping to stumble across some) but if i did have one, i'm fairly sure i could have done a lot better. Being paired with bad teams not only takes it's toll on your sanity but your score in the leaderboards too. 

In fact i'd suggest trying to find a team for any Black Ops 2 game modes, because of the popularity of the game and the lack of needing to actually have a brain to play it, it means that you will more often than not, come across total morons on your own team. 

If it wasn't for the fact i want to finally achieve the top prestige in one of these games, i would NOT bother playing it as much. It makes me despair at how dumb half the population is. 

I did like the XP that league play gave me and the ability to choose any weapon i wanted (pretty much), i did like the games when i didn't have idiots on my team, but unfortunately that was not often enough. If i were to do it again, i'd definately find myself a team to do it with.

Good luck with the game people!

Feel free to leave any thoughts in the comments below :)

Black Ops II League Play Season 4 End Time (ENDED)

Hi there,

For anyone who plays league play on Black Ops II i have added a coundown timer to when the latest season of league play ends, this can be found at the side of the page (scroll down a little) - ENDED NOW

As some of you will have noticed I've done a lot of ranting about Black Ops II, i thought the league play would stop some of it because i assumed that there would be a lot more experienced players in those lobbies. That's where i was wrong.

It seems that recently all i keep getting on my team are fools that get scores like 5-19 and more to that effect. That's just utterly rediculous, scores like that seem to me as though someone on the other team is camping and that person on my team just keeps going back for more. It seems like some people cannot think of other tactics than running head first into a hail of bullets, even in league play.

I went all the way to rank 7 in the platinum league and ended up back down to 21 because of many many games being lost due to having people like the ones i've already mentioned on my teams. I must have spent 2-3 hours doing league games earlier and only won about three of those games. Luckily i have managed to claw my way back up to 8th but I have now run out of bonus points. There's no way i'm risking losing 150 points by probably losing a game just to get 10 points if i do win. I'd have to win 15 or more games in a row just to move up 1 place.

Anyway, i'll try and keep my place and if possible, move a little higher but i can't see either happening.

Not long left people!

Thanks for reading.

Spawn Trappers are scum. Black Ops 2 #blackops2

As you may have guessed. This post is about spawn trapping or whatever you personally call it. I think this has to be the lowest, most annoying thing that can happen to you in Black Ops 2. I've had plenty to moan about with this game and the people that play it but of all the things that have annoyed me this is the worst!

I have the unfortunate tendancy of being thrown into games that are already in progress and on the team that are getting absolutely fucked up. Not only that but now i've noticed, more often than not, getting messed up like that involves getting spawn killed. I joined a game earlier and was repeatedly spawn killed straight away, i literally couldn't move as the opposing team had every exit covered. It threw me into a rage. 

  1. Why the hell should i have to put up with getting put into teams that are losing all the time?
  2. As if it's not bad enough that i'm put into a badly losing team, why should i then have to deal with getting spawn killed.
If i get a good team i am more often than not, in the top 3 on my team. But all i keep getting is teams of fools that get me killed either directly or indirectly (the scorestreaks that kill me because they keep dying) I'm getting totally sick of it now and it's ten times worse at the weekends.

Anyway onto my main point.

When i started playing this just after Christmas i never encountered this problem, i mean it did happen but it was a really rare occurance. But lately i've noticed it happening more and more. Every time i end up on a team bad enough, we end up getting spawn trapped/killed. I can usually get out of it but the rest of my team are usually too dumb to escape.

The thing is, i can understand that spawn killing people is easy kills for the other team but seriously, how do they feel good about doing it? I think i've done it once and i felt disgusting for it, it's seriously such a low thing to do, it's like shooting fish in a barrel you're almost guaranteed to be able to keep killing people as they spawn. I mean if they flipped that situation and the people doing it were the ones being slaughtered they'd be raging and probably leave.

Why do people feel its ok to do it when they know they'd hate it done to them?

I don't understand what people get from it, there's no skill involved, there's no challenge, it doesn't make you any good at the game. It's mindless, pointless and very low. The whole point in the game is to test your skills against the other team and try to win. Not to just trap the other team and get easy kills. There's no skill or challenge in that is there?

I can safely say it's something i'd never do again and i would hope that the people doing it feel like scumbags and stop doing it.. but i know that nothing will change. 

It's just stupid that the people doing it, would hate it done to them... I hope they feel the rage when it is done to them and realise how low and disgusting it is.

So if you're one of those people, SHAME ON YOU SCUMBAG.
If not, i feel your pain because it has to be the single most annoying, angering thing that can happen to you on Black Ops 2.
Good luck people.

Thanks for reading!

Black Ops II - Lucky Me

I'd been trying to get the "Hail Mary" challenge on Black Ops II (Get a long range kill with a combat axe) as part of the humiliation set of challenges for a few games and in the game i was just in i hadn't managed it at all the whole game. I heard the timer ticking down to the final killcam and thought sod it i'll just lob these two axes before the game ends, so i launched them over the rooftops and this is what happened:

Been playing Black Ops II

Hi people,

So.. I know that it's one of the most annoying series' of games but no matter how much it's just the same stuff over and over again every time they release it, most of us still get the latest CoD. Personally i just like to shoot stuff every now and again, i would say it's stress relief and fun but if you got teamed up with some of the fools i've encountered, you'd know its quite the opposite of stress relief.

I'd like to say i was amazing at the game but i'm probably about average or a little better. Depending on the team i get dealt i can come in the top three nearly every time or i can end up with an absolute shitter of a game and come near the bottom. I've said loads of times that if i can play as good as i can but if my team are getting slaughtered i'm going to feel the wrath of the enemies killstreaks too. I've also noticed my teams have an awful tendancy of rushing to the enemy spawn when im trying to play conservatively, meaning by the time i've carefully made my way across the map, im getting the enemy spawning behind me i their masses!

Either way i've played far too much of it lately, unlocking camo's challenges etc and have worked my way to almost prestige 6. For once, i am determined to get the max prestige on one of these games!

Feel free to comment on here or get in touch with me on twitter @MarcusPeachey and let me know you're experiences on Black Ops 2. If you're any good and would like to team up, my psn is at the side of the page (the same as the blog title)

On a good note, i made a very short video clip of something i did last night on Yemen, Kill Confirmed. Check it out below :)

Playstation 4 Announcement Last Night


So, the Playstation 4 was announced last night in a 2 hour meeting in New York. A meeting which explained the capabilities of this next gen console and showcased some of the developers and games that we can expect to see coming to the PS4.
It was a very interesting meeting but was awfully long so i thought i would write up some of the notes i took during the meeting, this means that if you don't get the chance to watch the full thing, you'll have a rough idea of what the new Playstation is offering.

These are some of the points i took from the meeting:


  • The new controller features a touchpad as well as a share button, the share button allows you to broadcast your game live to your friends.
  • The new Playstation will allow your friends to post comments to your screen if they are watching you playing a game, this allows you to either banter with them or more importantly they can offer you help or words of warning (for example if they think you hadn't noticed something)
  • If you are stuck at something, there is a remote play option allowing your friend to take control of your game using their own controller, over the network. To help you at the bit you are stuck on.
  • The actual console will come with a hard drive (pretty obvious) and features a x86 chipset. It also has a second processor to deal with any background downloading of games/updates and patches. Allowing for an uninterrupted gaming experience.
  • The console will now incorporate a kind of "hibernation" setting allowing you to put off the Playstation and return to it later on at the exact point in the game you left it at, without losing the game progress.
  • You'll be able to try most games before you actually commit to buying them.
  • Eventually the Playstation will build up an idea of your favourite things and pre-load games and patches that it believes you will enjoy.
  • It comes with a hefty 8gb of RAM.
  • You'll be able to play games as you download them.
  • There is a video capture option (which had already been talked about before the meeting)
  • There was a mention of being able to customise your profile better.
  • There's the ability to send your game to other devices such as your vita for remote play (for example if someone else wants to use the TV for a programme or film, you can send your game to your ps vita and continue playing it)
  • They are trying to cut down waiting times, as much as possible things are going to be instant by the looks of things.
Some of the developers and games showcased were:

  • The New Killzone game
  • Drive Club (has been a concept for 9 years)
  • inFamous - Second Son
  • Witness (a mystery game which looks good)
  • More defined characters, they mentioned they could make use of cg where it was more reserved for films before.
  • Deep Down by Capcom using their new Panta Rhei engine.
  • Square Enix showed a video i had already seen on youtube of the next gen Final Fatasy style graphics
  • Watch Dogs by Ubisoft (looks pretty good)
  • Blizzard Entertainment are now in partnership with Sony to bring some games to Playstation, the first mentioned is Diablo 3 (can't wait)
  • Bungie are also now working with Activision and are bringing us a game called Destiny.
The only thing that seemed a bit crappy was that they mentioned PS3 games won't be compatible with the PS4, but they went on to mention something about the "Cloud" and wanting to make all Playstation games playable anywhere. So we'll have to keep our eyes on any further announcements for information about that.
My guess i that they'll just add them to the PSN like we're already seeing with ps2 games (where the slim ps3 doesn't play them usually).

So that's a roundup of what was in the meeting.
It looks good to me but we'll have to see what kind of rediculous pricetag they slap on it!

More Final Fantasy I Gameplay

Hi there people, thought it's about time i update you with some more of my Final Fantasy gameplay. It's been fun but more challenging than i thought it would be. Once I've completed it i'll give yous all my opinion of the game. But for now here's the latest set of screenshots.

Found myself a new town to check out.

Circle of old sages, just what you expect to see in a new town.
Riiight... do continue...
Oh, alright then, no pressure.
Just what every world-saving hero needs...
This.Woman.Annoyed.Me.A.LOT!!! She wouldn't move out the way...
Testing out the new hardware
There's a not so friendly familiar face.
I have arrived at my destination. Some evil Volcano Lair, i wonder if Blofeld is waiting on me...
Nope. Not Blofeld.
Big words, you better hope you can back them up...
Well here goes...
She couldn't back them up.
Showing the crystal the crystal
I had already noticed this...
Another one lit up
Time to get outta here...

More Final Fantasy I Gameplay

Between black Ops II Sessions I've been playing more of Final Fantasy I. So here is the next installment of my Final Fantasy I game. I will be posting pictures of my new addition to my figure collection soon, so check back regularly for more updates etc...

Well i guess I'll have to go somewhere else then, for now...
Oh here's that vampire some folks were talking about...
I guess he wants a fight...
So this is what he was guarding... I'm sure someone told me a particular giant likes gemstones...
I guess they were right! Handy...
I'm sure many women will disagree with that statement!
Clever man, i'm glad someone knows what to do next!
I don't like the idea of probing a vampire's chamber...
Right! Probing it is then...
Guess I'll probe here then...
Thanks for clearing that one up for me...
Rude...
Time to teach him some manners!
That's him taught, Vivi fell asleep...
Cool, a talking crystal.
About bloody time i lit one of these up!
Woohoo! We win, let's go through that portal behind the crystal...
