APB Beta Key (#apb #competition)

That's some nifty gear you have. Mind if i try it out?

If you're wondering who these guys are..They're two of many customizable options available to players of a game called APB or All Points Bulletin. It's an open world MMO currently in it's BETA stages. It's being developed by one of my local gaming companies who go by the name of Realtime Worlds. If you like the sorts of GTA and Saints Row then this is a game you  might fancy trying out. Imagine it.. A massive city to run about in and do whatever and whenever you please. You can choose to be a cop or a criminal first off. Uphold the law or betray it..your choice.

Skate 3 Demo Impressions (#skate3)

Who's up for a sesh then?.. Not that kind of sesh. A Skate-tastic one of course.

The Demo has finally made its way onto the marketplace and psn network and it brings with it Coach Frank and a whole load of new path to get your skate on. What differs from Skate and Skate 2 then you ask.. Click that shiny, coloured word below for my personal insight.

Killing Floor - Lee Child - My new book (#leechild #killingfloor #jackreacher)

I have no idea what's happened to me so far this year. I've read more books in the past couple of months than I have my entire childhood. Ranging from 3 of Danny Wallace's books to Twilight and soon to be New Moon. What happened to the old Dave who simply got by playing football everynight and enjoying a vivid session on the xbox or ps2 back in the day?

He's not gone anywhere in reality, I'm still here. Grudgingly trying to find a reason for the change. I can't though in all honesty, I've just discovered, like countless others than i enjoy a partial read of a book now and again.

Blink 182 LIVE IN AUGUST.. (#blink182)

..I'll be there...YAAAA!

Little bit excited at the minute if you didn't catch it up there. But yeah i just bought myself a ticket to go see them in August, up in Aberdeen. Blink have always been a band I could easily listen to without a second thought. Definitely one of the bands i got into a little too late. They split up a couple of years after i did which sucked. Thankfully they settled their differences and reunited.

It was announced last year if i remember rightly that they were to do a world tour. In the end i think they just toured parts of America. Fear not though because it seems they actually ARE now doing a WORLD tour. They have two shows in Scotland. Glasgow, which is now sold out, and Aberdeen, which i managed to get tickets for. Still finding it hard to believe i'll actually be seeing them. 2010 could be the year for me definitely. I'm working on plans to see Snow Patrol (who says i don't do variety) too. Way too excited.

Fifa World Cup 2010 Impressions (#FIFA #worldcup)

Another big football event on the calendar and another edition of a world cup game is about to be released too. For the doubters who see it as a patched up Fifa 10, think again. From what I’ve played so far it’s far more polished and improved on Fifa than i think anyone would imagine.

Fifa World Cup Demo (#FWC2010)

The Demo has just went up on the LIVE Marketplace and i'm just about to go ahead and play it. I'm not sure how to approach it to be honest. If i start to enjoy the mechanics more then it might put me off my beloved Fifa 10 slightly but here's hoping it comes across impressively while at the same time keeping my Fifa 10 abilities intact. I'll have more thoughts on it in about an hour. Get some quality playtime with it then i'll hit you all up with some impressions. Until then why not download it yourself and see how you fair.

#INBETWEENERS

Looks like there's more awkward moments on the way if the latest news means anything. Earlier on today it was confirmed that there will indeed be a third series of The Inbetweeners on the way. The news released confirmed that filming had started yesterday. It's thought the action will still take place in the same area, possibly still at school but i wouldn't mind some college banter if it was happen.

"The Inbetweeners series have gone from strength-to-strength" explains C4 Head of Comedy Shane Allen. "And the scripts for series three are masterpieces of teenage excruciation. New lows have been plumbed in brilliantly inventive ways."

Sounds awesome so far. I didn't think it'd be possible to get anymore awkward situations out in the open but i'm sure they'll find a way too.

While the filming begins on the third series there's still more to come with a spin-off film still in the works. Thought to be set around the guys going on a lad's holiday abroad, if that doesn't scream out awkwardness then nothing will. Looking forward to it.

Possible UFC 2010 Demo Release Date!!!

 I've just came across news that there is a possible UFC 2010 demo on the way. While checking out screenshots and videos and what not, I stumbled upon what i believe to be a date.

It's said to be around about the end of April so I'd suggest possibly the 22nd/29th of April is our best bet.

The demo is said to feature four light heavyweights known as Quinton “Rampage” Jackson, Rashad Evans, Lyoto Machida and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. First impressions suggest that we'll no longer have to play as one of two guys like last years demo. Not putting the Iceman and Shogun down but a little bit more variety like this years demo roster would've been appreciated.

Expect the demo to offer an exhibition fight as per usual. I heard there may be an offline tournament type mode in the demo too but I'm not exactly sure what that means just yet. Anyways stay tuned for more confirmation when i come across it. Until then expect the UFC 2010 demo on LIVE and the PSN Network come the 22nd/29th April. The full game is still scheduled for release on the 25th May this year. Good times.

IT'S HERE

 

I mentioned earlier this week that i was working on getting something made. I'm sure anyone reading would automatically assume it was this sort of thing but i kept it hush until i had the t-shirt in my possession.

Well it arrived this morning and on first sight I was mighty chuffed with it. It's a slightly bigger large than i thought it would be but it still fits. A shrink in the wash wouldn't do it any harm in that respect :)

I won't let slip how much it cost me to get this made but I'll hint in that it was more expensive than I thought it'd be. If anyone reading this knows of a cheap t-shirt making company, do give me a buzz.

If you have any suggestions for anything else or if you indeed want a t-shirt, don't be afraid to send me a message on my Facebook page or a tweet on Twitter. The links for both are at the top of the homepage.

Been a while..

..Fear not though, I've not given up on this thing. I've just had a bit of a mad few days with goings on. I do come bearing news though, VERY good news. I've just got myself a little reviewer job over at Xbox Resource. Click here to check it out. It's not major but it's a step in the right direction for moi. I'll be doing my best to review games and what not. People who know me, know that i have a tonne of games. Reviewing them shouldn't be a problem at all.

Never fear though, it's not the end of World Of Duncan. Not by a long stretch. I'm in the planning stages on making a few things. A select few people know or have heard about it. I'll reveal when everything is in place. It's all to do with this baby below.

Maybe with this XR position, i can spark a bit of life into WOD. This place could do with a few more visitors on a regular basis. Hopefully i get to that point eventually.
