Doctor Who - The Eighth Doctor Adventures : Series One

Guess whose back?

The Eighth Doctor returns for four brand new adventures in February.

Now that the announcement has been made about Doctor Who coming back next year, I thought it might be a little insightful to let you all know that the Eighth Doctor will be making a return in four brand new adventures featuring a new companion, and some new and old enemies. 

The series will begin pre production and filming in December with post production / editing set to start in January. The series will be set to be released in February 2018 and will run from Saturday 3rd - Saturday 24th February. So four stories over the course of four weeks with one story each week, the number of episodes vary, stories range between three - four episodes in length. 

A teaser trailer will be up soon, to get you in the mood and start the launch for the series. 

More updates and full story synopsis to come soon.

FERRA/TORR: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

TUESDAY 28th NOVEMBER 2017

Sometime in the past, Ferra and Torr were living in the wastelands and were attacked by the Tarkatans. Torr was overwhelmed by their larger numbers while Ferra was captured. The two were separated, with Torr chained up and Ferra trapped in a cage. Kotal Kahn, however, arrived and freed Torr from his chains and the two rescued Ferra before killing all the Tarkatans, which the three devoured.

Ferra and Torr were a symbiotic pair, a perfect team, inseparable, their motive is to crush and destroy Kotal Kahn's enemies and serve the emperor of Outworld!

Happy Doctor Who Day! 54 Years!

HAPPY DOCTOR DAY!

54 YEARS

Hello!

It's been quite a while since I've done a Doctor Who post. But today marks a very special day for Doctor Who fans because today is Doctor Who's 54th anniversary since the first episode aired on BBC One on Saturday 23rd November 1963. 

Since then the show has evolved, changed and grown from strength to strength in terms of popularity, variety, and storytelling. 

I thought it might be interesting to give those of you who don't know, a little insight into how I first became a fan, how I discovered the show and perhaps the reasons why this British science fiction series has such a special place in my heart.

I suppose the best way to start is to go back to when Doctor Who first came back on our screens with Christopher Eccleston and Billie Piper in 2005, that was when everything first became apparent to me and I was made aware of the shows existence.  

The first episode I remember watching was "Aliens of London" on the 16th April 2005.  I remember watching it and quite enjoying it but didn't become fully enticed with the whole series until I watched 

"The Empty Child" a few weeks later, I knew that my cousin was a fan and that he used to watch it each week and it was when he was staying with us one weekend that we just happened to be watching the telly and he wanted to watch the episode, we were all sat around the sofa, my cousin, my sister and myself all watching it and remember being creeped out by the little boy with the gas mask, I was so captivated with that story that I had to know what was going to happen, especially as that was the first part of a two parter, so the story would continue next week, after that I started watching it each week, right up until the first series ended.

Then in the summer of 2005, we went out and bought some of the DVD's that were on offer and caught up with the rest of the series and watched all the earlier episodes that we missed. By that point I had fallen in love with this show and had become completely obsessed with it, I just wanted more and it was a very special treat for us when Christmas came about because that was when "The Christmas Invasion" was first broadcast.

After that I think I had gone out and bought some books on Doctor Who and was reading up on some of the monsters that had become well known during the series history and I remember being fascinated by the Cybermen, and thought that they were very scary and not only that but a truly compelling design and I just liked the look of them so I remember being incredibly excited to hear the news that they were going to be in the next series with David Tennant. Those were my earliest memories of Doctor Who and how I started to get properly involved with the show.

And I think the more episodes I watched, the more I enjoyed it and the more exciting it was for me to go away from watching an episode eagerly hungry for more. No show has had such an effect on me ever, before or since.

Then around 2008 I was watching Doctor Who confidential and Russell T Davies was talking about The Cybermen, and they were showing clips from the classic Doctor Who, that's what got me interested in exploring the whole worlds of Doctor Who and wanting to start going back in time and watching the classic series. The first classic series story that I watched fully was "The Tomb of the Cybermen" that was around early 2009. I had seen bit of "Ark in Space" prior to that because I just happened to catch it one night on BBC Four. But "Tomb of the Cybermen" was the first story I watched fully and I remember watching it in its entirety and just loving the bit where all the Cybermen came out of their tombs and then woke up the Cyber Controller. That was a very iconic moment which has stuck in my mind and has never left me.

Then I started going round collecting DVD's, I was watching them on YouTube, I was watching as many stories as I could get my hands on. I ate, breathed and slept Doctor Who. The next story I watched was "Genesis of the Daleks" and it took off from there, I collected all the DVD's and was watching story after story, seeing all the different doctors in action. "Time Warrior" was also a story I was eagerly fond of, that was when my love for Jon Pertwee started. And you have to remember, 2009 was a time where there was no proper series of Doctor Who on the telly, we only had the specials that would crop up every now and again, so to fill the gap of having no Doctor Who, the classic series filled that spot nicely.

It was nice to have a show to seek comfort in and confide in, whenever times got tough for me at school, I'd always used to chill out and watch Doctor Who, that's when the show became a part of me and was a friend to me if you like, Doctor Who was my way of shutting off the world and just being in my own bubble, caught up in adventures in time and space with the doctor and his companion in the TARDIS.

As my interest for the show grew, I used to watch documentaries on the DVD's on how stories were made as cast and crew look back at the making of the story in question, it was insightful to hear how certain things were done and hear about them talk about the production values and experiences the actors had whilst making the stories. It also gave me an insight into the way television was made and how my interested aroused to work in the world of Film and Television. I have Doctor Who to thank for that.

I'm still watching it and loving it now, and I think the reason why the show is such a success with me and why I love it so much is because it's not like any ordinary thing that you can watch. There really is no other show like it, it's a show that can evolve and fit into multiple genres, it can be a soap opera or a romantic novel or dwell into key moments in history or indeed go into history or a famous book and put a science fiction twist on it. Doctor Who can make its mark and put a stamp on things which audiences can relate or respond to.

I also love the quality of the stories, and the acting and our hero, the doctor. There's always faith in the story that no matter how bad the situation is the doctor will find a solution and sort it out.

There are millions of fans out there who are like me who have obtained rediculous and copious amounts of knowledge about the show and have used their love for this show and expanded upon it with fan films or made audio dramas on it, Big Finish who is run by Nick Briggs, massive Doctor Who and voice of the daleks, he's worked on the show he loves many times and does his own spin on it with Big Finish, he gets to work with the actors he grew up watching as a child, dream come true in my opinion.

I've had the pleasure of meeting all of the surviving classic doctors from Tom Baker to Paul McGann and the War Doctor John Hurt. I have yet to meet all the new doctors though, I nearly met David Tennant, maybe one day it'll happen.

So on this day, Doctor Who day, all fans come together to express their love for this madly inventive, British, brilliant and in some cases bonkers show. Doctor Who will always be my friend and will always be a part of me.

Injustice 2: Tournament and Electrum shaders

Tournament Batman (Gold shader)

Hey Hey!

In tomorrow's Injustice 2 video, I will be showing off cool Electrum and Tournament shaders I have aquried for certain characters. Including: Batman, Superman, Black Adam, Darkseid and more.

Tune to see what happens.

Electrum Atrocitus (Silver Shader)

For those of you who aren't aware Tournament and Electrum shaders are basically special shaders you can buy using source crystals in the game for characters to spice them up a bit and just make them look even more awesome. 

I'm currently going round a getting one of either gold or silver for each character, I don't see much of a preference for getting both shaders because they do cost a lot of source crystals and I don't really see the demand for having both, one of either suits me fine. I have a few for certain characters but just thought it might be fun to do a video to show them off in their entirity. 

MKX Tomorrow - Earth, Thunder and Fire! Thursday 23rd November 2017

MORTAL KOMBAT XL: THURSDAY 23rd NOVEMBER 2017

TREMOR, RAIDEN, AND SCORPION

Hi all.

I'm notifying you that tomorrow there will be a special MKX video featuring the elemental characters in the game where I will be playing to the strengths of Tremor, Raiden, and Scorpion.

In the video I'll be focussing on their powers and using them to the advantage of defeating their opponents they come up against.

This is just a quick post to say that I'll be doing a video with Tremor, Raiden, and Scorpion tomorrow, stay tuned and I hope you enjoy it!

INJUSTICE 2: Next Week - Justice League Heroes

Justice League is out in cinemas, and that means fun and exciting things for Injustice 2. 

I've been busy this weekend, earning the cool movie gear from the film, that's why there haven't been gameplay videos this weekend because I've been busy doing multiverse events and earning all the gear for the Justice League heroes.

But that does mean on Wednesday, there will be a fun video featuring all the Justice Leauge heroes against a formidable adversary. And there will also be some other fun videos across that week too, so lots to look for and look forward to. 

The Chase is over!

Hello Everyone.

So, as you can probably tell by the title of this post, it's not good news for fans of my chase videos.

Basically, there has been a new app that has been released by Barnstorm games which is an updated version of The Chase app with new questions, Bradley Walsh commentary and Jenny "The Vixen" Ryan added to The Chasers roster.

I know I had plans to do more with The Chase like a Children in Need special and a Christmas special for 2017, but I've tried to record videos using this new app and I don't like it. I know that is down to me not being used to the app and the new questions on it, as it came out fairly recently, but the questions are too hard, the commentary from Bradley can be quite patronising if you only get one or two questions right and the head to head chases against the chaser can be really frustrating. It's a game at the end of the day, a game that's meant to be fun and enjoyable, but I find it hard to get back to the final chase as the chaser, whoever it is, always catches me and that really frustrates and annoys me, especially when I'm trying to get good results for my videos.

I'm not enjoying doing these videos anymore and have become tired of doing them. If you're not enjoying something, why must I continue doing it? It's pointless really. I've decided to stop doing Chase videos and Eggheads, mainly because Eggheads just got boring and I don't like the new Chase app. It's not a bad app, you can do lots of cool new things on it, I just don't like questions on it, they're too hard to answer and I'm bored of just getting caught by the chaser all the time and not making it back to the final chase. You need to know when to pack it in and call it a day, so this is me basically saying I've had enough of doing these kinds of videos and I want to stop and you can't blame me for wanting me to do that, it's a shame but I just can't work with the new app, it does my head in.

Thank you to those reading this who have watched my chase videos and have enjoyed them, I just feel for me, enough is enough and I've done all I can do with these videos.

I'll be doing some more exciting stuff in the future which I'm very excited about and can't wait to share with you guys. But for now, The Chase is finally over.

Injustice 2: Fighter Pack 3 - My Thoughts

INJUSTICE 2: FIGHTER PACK 3

Good Morning everyone!

So after waiting all day yesterday for this trailer to be released, I now finally know which final three characters are going to be joining Injustice 2, and I have to say Netherrealm have made some very interesting choices. 

First of all, we have Atom. Now I think we could all hazard a guess or know that he was going to be in the game, especially as an interesting little teaser trailer for him was released a while back we have already got a taster or a little insight into what his character's fighting abilities are going to be like. I am interested to see a full trailer and what this character's full potential is going to be. It's rather exciting and a bold move to put a character like this in the game, one which I'm not entirely sure how it's going to work out, but we'll just have to wait and see. But first thoughts on Atom, having him come out of that explosion and then grow to normal size and then shrink again, it looks cool and impressive, it'll be exciting to do Atom vs Flash fights in my videos, and here's hoping one day they'll be a Marvel vs DC crossover and we have Atom from DC vs Marvel's Antman, that would be quite cool.

Moving onto Enchantress, she was another predictable character which a lot of people talked about online as a character who would most likely be in the game, any mega DC fan would know straight away from looking at the silhouette on the character select screen that she was bound to turn up at some point. I was more interested in how her character was going to look like, and she actually looks really good, I love her costume, she looks very spooky and mysterious, almost like a female Ermac the way she shoots green lasers and floats and has all these mystical interactive powers like Ermac does, I'm very impressed with her overall design and Netherrealm have already shown that she is or can look effective against opponents, her standoff against Atom in the trailer proved that. So I'm happy with the fact that we're getting Enchantress, it'll be nice to have another female character in the game because we don't have enough of them, the game is very much more dominated by male characters so having another female character adds to the equality of fairness in the game. 

Now moving on to the last character which was a mystery, no one knew for certain who it was going to be, and I think a lot of people speculated on who was going to be based on the characters that they wanted it to be, and not thinking outside the box as to something as ridiculous as this. I mean, I thought for a laugh wouldn't it be funny to have something like Postman Pat in Injustice 2 or Fireman Sam, children's characters that I grew up watching and loving as a toddler. I never expected this, and I don't think many other people were either, and it's something which has caused a big s*it storm online... we are going to be getting the Ninja Turtles! what? really? why? those are the questions that come to mind, and I'm going, to be honest, my first thoughts are that with the Ninja Turtles, they are the only character in the game that I am disappointed with, I'm happy with all the others but I guess it's because I'm not too keen on the Ninja Turtles, I mean I never watched the cartoon and I have no real interest in that, I know who they are but apart from that... just really? why? I am so baffled and shocked in some cases at just how they could have gone for something as ludicrously brilliant as this. 

I mean there are rumors speculating that Shaggy and Scooby Doo are going to be in the game as guest characters.

I may be proven wrong and will have to eat my words when I see they're introduction trailer when it comes out, I might be blown away by they're fighting skills, but just having them in the game doesn't really sit right with me. But it just my first thoughts, I've only just found out they're going to be in the game, I don't know what they're going to be like until they start coming into the game properly, so we'll have to see.

Overall thoughts on this fighter pack, two out three I'm happy with so I would say that this is a good fighter pack with a veriaty of different characters which are aimed to please most of the fans and gamers who play this game. Let's just wait and see what happens.

Atom is coming in December, we got Hellboy coming out next week, and not to mention the Justice Leauge premeir skins coming to the game as well, they're are lots of fun and exciting things coming to Injustice 2 to keep people interested and playing the game.

INJUSTICE 2: HELLBOY is coming to Injustice 2!

HELLBOY IS COMING TO INJUSTICE 2

NOVEMBER 2017

Hell Boy is coming to Injustice 2 from next week. November 14th is when he first becomes available to those with early access, so if you're like me and got the Ultimate Edition, you will get to benefit from the privileges of having all the additional features that came with downloading or buying this version of the game, and this is one of them.

He looks awesome, but don't take my word for it, watch the trailer here and see him in action.

From what I've seen he is a character that likes to throw his punches, with cool shields and bonuses to use dealing with zoners. We have yet to see what his full combo structure is, that will come once he's released and able to put into practice, I have yet to see what cool gear and upgrades there are available for him, and what everything is going to look like, but from what I've seen from watching the trailer, he looks pretty cool and as a guest character, it's great to have him in the game along with Black Manta and Raiden.

So watch this space, and look out for Hell Boy stuff coming next week.
