DOCTOR WHO - The Audio Adventures Series 4 - Newest Update - October 2020

 


DOCTOR WHO - AUDIO ADVENTURES

SERIES 4: OCTOBER 2020

Hello everyone,

Welcome to another blog post. It's been a while since my last update on my Doctor Who Audio Adventures series. I'm pleased to say that Series 4 of the Audio Adventures is in production and will be starting again on my YouTube channel on Saturday 17th October. 

Ten episodes are lined up for this series, with a two part series finale. 

The series will start on the 17th October and finish on the 26th December 2020.

There will be no Christmas special this year. I know I keep promising a special and don't deliver however my focus is to get the series out there and so don't have the time to do ten episodes and a Christmas special. So no Doctor Who Christmas Special, sorry. 

I'm also pleased to say that something that will be different about series four in comparison to the other three series previous is that they'll be a story arc weaved in.

I haven't had much experience in writing story arcs (I'm no Russell T Davies) but they'll be certain connections between the stories and certain characters in their journey throughout the series which I hope you'll enjoy exploring. Also there are stories which I've wanted to see continue sort of like a trilogy or a next chapter if you like, so we'll be seeing a sequel to other stories that have come before in the audio adventure series. 

It'll also be the start of building up to something big coming in the next few years, I don't want to say too much but I hope you will like the conclusion when we get to it. 

Even though this is a project I've been putting on and off, it's not a project that's left me completely, I keep leaving and coming back to it. Each time I do this, I have different thoughts and views and ways in which I'd like to approach it. 

It's something I enjoy doing as a hobby and haven't done much creative writing in a long time. It's been nice to get back into this and revisiting it and exploring various ideas and stories still left to tell.

It will also be my opportunity to tie up the companions stories and bring them to a natural end. Series 4 will see the end of Pip and Kara as they'll both be written out at the end of this series. 

A full episode guide will be released later in the week, so keep an eye out for that and I'll be in touch again when there's a new update.

Mortal Kombat 11 - The Season of the Hive has begun!

 


Greetings everyone.

Hope you've all been enjoying the September sunshine just before Autumn starts to seize its way in and things start to get chillier. 

Those os us who play Mortal Kombat 11 will know that the next season has started on Tuesday. The Season of the Hive is well under way with players eager to climb through the ranks and earn new skins for their favourite characters. 

This season's skin are based off D'Vorah's race the Kytinn and you can earn new and exclusive skin rewards for: Kabal, Skarlet, Baraka and Kotal Kahn.

So without any further delay let's take a look at the skin rewards you can earn this season.






As you can see they all look amazing and I'm there's going to be plenty of people wanting to get their hands on these skins and have them as part of their collection.

Before I show you the board for this season, let's take a quick look at the Kombat kard backgrounds and icons.

KOMBAT KARD BACKGROUNDS


KOMBAT KARD ICONS


They all look really cool, I actually think these are my favourite kombat league kombat kard designs so far. 

And now I suppose you want to know how you can go about getting these skins. 

You have to compete in a series of online ranked matches versus other players to earn kombat points, the more kombat points you earn the higher you'll climb up the ladder. 

But be aware that the higher up the ladder you climb, the harder the game gets so that's just something to bare in mind. 

THE LADDER AND SKIN REWARDS



Baraka's skin can be earned by completing a series of challenges on the right hand side of the kombat league menu, there are five challenges in total, but for every challenge you complete you earn other rewards like brutalities or gear pieces. You get the skin once you've ticked off all the challenges. 

Kotal Kahn's skin is Apprentice rank and above meaning you only have to play one match and regardless of the result you'll earn the skin at the end of the season. 

Skarlet's skin is at Champion rank and above which means if you want her skin you have to finish the season at Champion rank or higher.

Kabal's skin is at Demi God rank and above which means you'll have to work your way up to the top three ranks to stand a chance of earning his skin at the end of the season.

It's not the best looking board for me, as a Kabal player, if I want to earn this skin I will have to work my up through to at least Demi God and finish the season at Demi God to get his skin but speaking as someone who has managed to achieve this rank already I feel confident that I can do it again. 

Out of all these new skins, I like Skarlet's the best as the red look to this is just gorgeous and stands out from all the rest of the skins put together. 

If you're interested to know about how many kombat points you will need to earn certain ranks

Apprentice: 0 - 500 points

Kombatant: 500 -1000 points

Warrior: 1000 - 1500 points

Champion: 1500 - 2000 points

Master: 2000 - 2500 points

Grand Master: 2500 - 3500 points

Demi God: 3500 - 4500 points

God: 4500 - 5500

Elder God: 5500 points and above

I wish everybody the best of luck this season and hope you earn the ranks you're aiming for.
