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.
..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.
There you have it. The album of the moment at this present time is none other than Bombay Bicycle Club's (BBC's) debut album "I Had The Blues But I Shook Them Loose".
Ever get that feeling to get stuck into something after hearing a story about that said thing?
It happened to me earlier this afternoon. Friend of mine (Jamie) randomly hopped into an msn conversation and suggested a song i check out. A song that could prove fairly simple chord wise for me to learn and play. The song in question was "9 Crimes" by Damien Rice. Check it out below
Probably doesn't sound too simple to the normal ear but after looking up the chords it's enticed me slightly. It's about time i got stuck into this guitar thing instead of just playing casually every now and then. I still have an old guitar tutor card in my wallet. I've been meaning to email him for weeks now but have never got round to it. Come payday on thursday shall i take the plunge? It's a possibility.
Just came across a new show that has sparked my interest somehow. If you don't know it already, i'm always browsing around the net looking for something new to watch and get into. With Lost coming to an end very soon, i'll need other TV interests of course.
The show i've found is called "How To Make It In America". I've watched the pilot so far (though i have the next two episodes ready to watch)
It revolves around two 20-something guys called Ben (Bryan Greeberg) and Cam (Victor Rasuk) You might recognise Greenberg from earlier seasons of One Tree Hill, that's where i know him from anyway. This pair of industrious friends though are very business minded. Trying anything to earn a quick buck and become a success. All so they can live the American Dream. Easy to get into right? Was for me anyway.
The show comes courtesy of Entourage creators Stephen Levinson and Mark Wahlberg. I've caught a little bit of Entourage a while back, it was always one of those shows that looked good to me but i just didn't find the time to fully watch. HTMIIA though is where i shall start. I won't give anything away but expect a bit of fun and drama aswell as confusion and laughs. It even stars Finch from the American Pie films, Mr Eddie Kay Thomas. That's a bonus right there.

There's the man himself Tom Smith. (The guy on the stage of course)
First of all, what a gig! Still find it hard to put it to words but they were so genuinely awesome live. Started off the set with the title track from their latest album "In this light and on this evening". They then of course blurted out some of the old classics too, including the majority of my favourites, Munich, Lights, Blood, Bullets, Racing Rats, Smokers outside the hospital doors.. They really did play the majority of the songs i wanted to hear. Even finished off nicely with "Fingers in the factory" Without a doubt, one of their best tracks. If you have me added on facebook, i've put all the photos i managed to get into an album. If you haven't got me added click here to see the album.
I'll leave you with a bit of rough footage i recorded on my mobile. It is OF COURSE, the one and only Munich, LIVE! Was fantastic.
Please be patient if the video doesn't work, it will eventually :)
How badass do those guys look?
The better question though is, who the hell are they?
Well as far as i know they are 3 of many customizable variations of characters from upcoming FPS "Brink".
Not just any old FPS as far as video has revealed. It promises to revolutionize the genre of FPS.
According to Publisher "Bethesda Softworks" and Developers "Splash Damage" the game is as follows.
"Brink™ is an immersive shooter that blends single-player, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay into one seamless experience, allowing you to develop your character across all modes of play. You decide the role you want to assume in the world of Brink as you fight to save yourself and mankind’s last refuge for humanity. Brink offers a compelling mix of dynamic battlefields, extensive customization options, and an innovative control system that will keep you coming back for more."
What's the story then you ask? Read on below.
"A man-made floating city called the Ark, made up of hundreds of separate floating islands, is on the brink of all-out civil war. Originally built as an experimental self-sufficient and 100% “green” habitat, the reported rapid rise of the Earth’s oceans has forced the Ark to become a refuge for humanity. Crammed with the original Ark founders, their descendants, as well as tens of thousands of refugees, the Ark exists in total isolation from the rest of the world. With 25 years of social unrest, the inhabitants of the Ark have reached their breaking point. It’s up to you to decide the future of the Ark and the human race."
If that wasn't enough to intrigue you then take a look at this cinematic trailer recently released. I'd personally describe it as..WOW!
The games set for a Fall 2010 release. Said to be around about September. I have it pre-ordered already.
The frostbite is back i'm afraid. But fear not for it's not a bad thing at all.
EA and DICE have finally let us free on their masterpiece Bad Company 2.
I've been one of the many fans literally wasting days away since it was released. The previous game was quite something but this one takes war to a whole new level, that's my way of thinking at least. I sneakily got it a day early from GAME having had it pre-ordered well in advance. I slipped it in on morning one and found myself killing things and blowing up objectives in no time at all.
Along with all the fun it brought, it did however bring a bit of anger (Not majorly in my case but with friends) EA had a massive server problem and surfaced a massive rush win of their own. No crates were harmed in the process making them pretty damn good defenders.
The servers are thankfully back up now without a hitch as far as i can see. So what exactly has brought me to Bad Company for a second stint you ask?
Remember these guys?
Of course you do. If you don't then where the hell have you been the past 6 years?
This is of course the original cast of the worldwide tv phenomenon "LOST". It did indeed begin all the way back in 2004. I believe i had not long left school and had started college. I remember it fondly from a cinema advert. Don't ask me what the film was i went to see but i distinctly remember the channel 4 advert featuring these random strangers wandering around on a beach.
One of us is a conman? One of us is a doctor? One of us is a criminal?
Those little statements ran through my head for days afterwards. What the hell was this show? and what was it all about?
I'm a 23 year old ex-student living in my town of birth Dundee. Big interest in everything entertainment whether it's films, tv shows, music, gaming or animation. Expect this blog to be full of it all.
