Role Playing games and Such..........

Well Hello there internet people! I am back! in a new city half a country away from where i was, that's right i'm now calling Leicester my home! i aim to bring you some awesome reviews on games and other stuff once i have sorted everything out! now living with the Girlfriend so i now have a partner in crime on alot of my reviews and videos! anyways enough about that! on to the subject for today: ROLEPLAYING!

I am an avid roleplayer of the Live action, the Tabletop and the console roleplay genre aswel as roleplaying with my best friend Kitta... i'll start with my personal favorite:

The Table Top Roleplay:

there are several different type of tabletop role playing games out there, here are my top two!

in Second place..... Dungeons and Dragons:

Now, i know alot of you just decided i'm now a hugely nerdy bugger... well i am but bear with me!

A couple of years ago my mate Mike got me into D&D when he talked me into it.... took him three hours to convince me and i was soon addicted! I was Denan Eclipse, Dragon-born, King of the free-lands! last of his line and leader of an army of dragon-men! follower of the great dragon goddess Berfermet! needless to say i loved it! and we even created our own Bastardized version of it where our mate Russell would be our dungeon master, and then the fun times really began! from throwing bricks at barkeepers to kicking Mike out of a window as he jumps through it... to dwarven threesomes (long story).... the fun just kept going and going until we were playing for ten hours straight,

In First place.... WARHAMMER 40.000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOW WE'RE TALKING!!!!!!!!!! i am a painter and collector of Warhammer models, i collect three armies.... all imperial! none of that heretical stuff anymore! used to be a follower of Chaos but i repented! nowadays i play Grey knights, Blood angels and Space wolves... the best of the best! you can have some real fun when painting them if you do it as a group and then you have the true satisfaction when you are done painting and you put your army on parade... not to mention the back story behind it all! it's so in depth that you can't help but love it!

If you are thinking of taking up Warhammer then i suggest you do some background research, visit your local Games Workshop and find out what army would be best for you, everyone is different... but most of all originality is key!

Console/PC Roleplay:

There are many games on the console systems (and PC) that are purely made for their role playing ability (world of Warcraft/Star trek online) but i won't focus on them as i have more pressing games... it's time for a top five!

5): Balder's Gate

ahhhh what a place to start! this is the series that began it all for me! the game play was fantastic, the graphics were sexy, the story line was beautifully written and dayum! a four disc install? that always got me excited with how big a game was! 1 disc? pft nah man it's two disc or more for me! i was especially excited when they decided to bring it to console with Dark Alliance!  released in 2001 on the Xbox, PlayStation and the console i got it on... the game cube! it was my favorite game all those years ago... seriously check it out! i'll include a link at the bottom if you want to purchase it to try!

4): Oblivion
now we knew at least one elder scrolls game would make it onto my list or in this case two! oblivion being the first! it was the first game i got on my Xbox when i got one so it holds a special place in my heart, i loved the story line and the way the game play felt, it was empowering to get into a game for the first time like this!

3): Skyrim
now... i love Skyrim... i mean i completed it in one sitting love it! it was like coming home after oblivion, and i don't know a single gamer that hasn't played Skyrim religiously in their lives, the graphics were super sexy, the missions were interesting and DAYUM!! being a dragon-born was freaking sweet! killing those dragons to gain the power to shout? perfect! and the arrow in the knee actually means getting married! The more you know! and avoid getting a companion..... just trust me.....

2): Dragon Age Games
you need to play these games to truly realise how great they are! one of biowares three greatest games series (the others being Balder's Gate and Mass Effect) it combines fast paced turned based combat and smart arse quips at each of your characters! there's not much i can say without giving the story away but you will love it! and when the second game comes around get Merrill!

1): Mass effect trilogy

now now now this had to be my first choice because who dosen't love being Commander Shepard fighting the reaper and collector forces (and cerberus) aboard the Normandy? i mean it's a beautifully sourced game that is put together so lovingly its a living, breathing universe!

live action role play: LARP...

seriously just go look it up and attend an event.... you will not regret it!!!

Written Role Playing/Fan Fiction..

now this is a huge part of my life and i have a very good Roleplay partner called Kitta, we work well together, i build the worlds and she details then, making the story more immersive so i can make huge twists whenever i feel its needed, we have rped many things from assassins creed to pirates, zombie apocalypse to Vampires, you name it you can make it, the sky is the limit!


I hope you have enjoyed my guide to roleplaying and my top five, i will catch you all soon but for the moment it's time to play some Last of Us! Bye!!!

Inspiration..... Or Lack Of...... Somedays

Where to begin? Hmmmm..... Almost got it...... Nope it's gone......

Ever have days like this? when you need to come up with an awesome idea but the juice just isn't flowing? This happens to Me alot, which is why i create twenty six episodes that air in a year, that leaves me with twenty six more weeks to write up any material i want to use in the series, smart you are thinking..... no it isn't, because on the weeks i'm filming i suddenly realise how Rubbish the material actually is..... With a capitol R!

So to help combat that i try out my material on a select audience... in other words i find somewhere they are having a comedy night..... and perform horribly.... ALOT! I mean i'm surprised i'm not banned from places like this.... here what i had to go through today to write this blog:

An excerpt

from my status on Facebook:

a laborious journey, involving many battles and skirmishes, through the darkest parts of the world, through valleys and chasms, rivers and deserts, with nothing but a Tesco meal deal to keep me company (BLT if you must know), i have finally arrived at my quest ending point, to be faced with my toughest challenge yet, a really tall gate...... how did i prevail??? i jumped with all my might (and a good run up) and managed to concur this last foe...... so now here i am sat in Jase Froggett's garden eating my meal deal and using his internet connection waiting for him to get back from herne bay...... i feel like a wi-fi thief >:) i think i should write this into an epic tale of friendship and destiny........ Denan eclipse and the search for the wireless internet connection!!!

I also test out the material on certain friends, the poor Buggers..... I've been away for a couple of weeks in what i call Writers-land..... in other words I've been watching Game of thrones and Supernatural and lamenting about how much better their material is then mine..... not a good idea, Especially seeing as they are the GODS of TV shows, Closely followed by the Walking Dead ("Its so c**ting good its the dogs f****n' b*****ks" - Jack Pitney.... Poet, Gentleman.... Scholar. "Filled with adrenaline and the most addictive show on television!" - Aimee Carney.... actual Scholar...) and Doctor Who....... Cue the Rotten Tomatoes.....


As you can guess i have a lack of inspiration today..... it's been a hectic week, been so rushed off of my feet i don't really know which way is up, been gigging with Soundproof almost constantly, as of next week it is over, we are all going our separate ways and i begin work on putting a new band together, i've been musing on my song writing for the last few days and i think i am finally getting somewhere...... Maybe....






Anyway guys myself and Jase are enjoying a nice beer in the sun with our awesome speaker set up, it's looking sexy! i'm going to see if i can talk him into a few party sessions for everyone, i'm debating to get back into DJing and i think if we can get some more gear we will take this show on the road!!!





it's a special Ladies birthday today so i'm gonna give her a special mention! Georgia Love! HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY DARLIN!!!!! i hope you are having an epic day, chatting to me on skype :) i promise you i will be around for your 18th next year :) i miss you sweetie :) xxxxx

Go check out this Other Blog! it's done by a good friend of mine :) absolutely brilliant Blogger http://www.belovedjaine.blogspot.co.uk/

it's time to say goodbye now, i hope i've managed to entertain you guys with my Ramblings (With a capitol R, thank you very much). thats all for this week guys...... Hopefully Virgin media will decide to drop off my new modem by then...... otherwise it might be awhile....... take care Bloggers!
