oh HAI

Hello.

I suck at keeping a blog, I know. What am I up to now you ask! WELL. Ive been buying and reading lots of zombie books. My newest one being Zombies: A Record Of The Year Of Infection by Don Roff and Chris Lane. Its AWESOME. I hate that word but I cant think of another one to describe this book.

Anyway, its basically what it says on the tin, a record of a year during a zombie out break, it follows a scientist who documents his findings with writing and illustrations all whilst trying to stay alive. The illustrations are deliciously grusome and the writing is poignant in places and terrifying in others. If your havnt read this then you really should!

Thought of the day.

First of all. WELCOME 2011. And now for my thought of the day.


'Maybe I should become a film critic, I love watching films but I also love finding something to complain about. Two birds one massive boulder.' (me; 05.01.11)


I want a career. Not a job. And I'm going to keep saying this until I bloody well get one!

Why Hello There.

Hello.

Well, I haven't been on here for a while, I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with life! I currently have a job, it's interesting enough and its got me thinking about other careers paths other than the 'creative' route. My dream job is ultimately writing for a games mag. Oh my that would be amazing.

It's just so hard when you search for jobs and all of them require 'experience', how can you have experience in something you want to do when you can't even get the job to gain the experience needed!

In an ideal world I would write something and somebody would take notice...

Hmm, although I'm currently working loads I'm going to start writing again in my free time. I enjoy writing. :)

Coma

Coma, Made by a young guy called Thomas Brush is without doubt one of the best adventure flash games I have seen since the 'Never More' series. I play hell of a lot of games online and its only rarely do you find a game of such quality free for everybody to play on the internet.


Anyway! Coma is a flash adventure game where you take the role of a character called Pete along with his little companion a small bird (who comes in very useful at times!), controls are simple, use your arrow keys, and unlike a lot of games out there on the web these controls are really good, especially as you have a lot of jumping onto tiny platforms to do!


You travel through a strange but beautiful land completing small tasks set by the lands bizarre inhabitants, helping you progress to where you need to go. The art work of this game is phenomanol, and the music, also by the creator, Thomas Brush, is melodic and peaceful, fitting with the art work beautifully.



The only downside to this game is its play time, It takes the average player around 10-15 minutes to complete the game, which I found a shame because I didnt want it end! The creator however should be throughly pleased with himself, he made this as a solo project and it took him a year. Its obvious he put a lot of time effort and energy into this game, and its simply amazing. so dont take my word for it. give it a go yourself and let me know what you think :)

Doodle God

Doodle God is a wonderfully simple but addicting game. The aim on the game is combine different elements to produceand find new elements, (all 115 of them!) by elements I dont just mean, Earth Water Air and Fire, it means things that can be produced from these, like coal, or storms.


Game play is simple, You start with 4 groups of the well known elements that I have mentioned and go from there. eventually you build up a menu of earth, wind, fire, water, animals, humans, bacteria, plants, and technology. (14 of them)

Each time you successfully combine two elements you are rewarded with not only a new element but also a quote from a famous person in history.

Combine human and poisen and hey presto! you get a corpse!


The graphics are simplistic and sometimes humourus,and the music is relaxing, kind of like music you hear in a yoga class..
Overall this game is really fun, to find some combinations you really need to think out side of the box, especially to get elements like a Ghoul, or a Vampire! But its a great mind workout and will take up at least half an hour of your time (if your good ;) )

Easy Joe

Easy Joe is a wonderful 2d flash game, created by Gamystar. The character you control is called Joe a cute green bunny, and the aim of the game is to help him explore his world whilst trying to get to a party filled with girly bunnies.


Game play is very simple, you simply click on items in the enviroment in the correct order, then click on Joe so he can progress to the next screen.
The look of the game is awesome, the main colours used are green and purple and the overall design of the game is sharp and crisp,

although this game isnt difficult, its still fun and a great way to spend ten minutes. so give it a go and get Joe to the party! and let me know what you think :)

The Harry Stick Journey

So I came across a game today called The Harry Stick Journey and I was pleasently surprised. The game is about a stick character with a mane of blonde hair called Harry who has to make his way successfully across very dangerous terrain, this my friends, is where we come in.



The bottom of the screen has a small inventory which, on every level contains different tools you will need to select and place in order on the screen, these can vary from a chainsaw, ladder, flame torch and even a cannon. This whole game is about trial and error but its a great time killer. If your sucessful on the first attempt, lucky you! because if you make one mistake, poor Harry will most definately meet a grisley end.


Oh and did I mention that every level is timed? yup youve gotta work quickly! With charming colourful graphics and simplistic game play this is incredibly addictive, but probably not suitable for those aged under 13 :)
