The Real Texas

This article was written for  Yatta Magazine  and  Yatta Media  and published on  J uly 16th 2012. If there is one thing I have learned, it’s that you can always be surprised by a game. The Real Texas is just one of those games and also an example of why I love indie games. The game is, as stated on the website ‘ an action adventure game that plays like a mashup of Zelda: Link to the Past and Ultima VI. ’ and does it. However, does the The Real Texas live up to this statement? The Real Texas, created by  Calvin French , really does stand out from the sea of indie games for many good reason. From the unique, artistic blocky style which gives the game a warm and somewhat cute feel, to the well written and exquisitely planned out adventure. The game just has that enjoyable feeling to it. The adventure you undertake is a long and mysterious one with twists and turns at every point. This is where I was first surprised. When I heard about this game from twitter user  @S

Polarfox App review

This article was written for Yatta Magazine and Yatta Media and published on June 26th 2012 . Polarfox is a free desktop application for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux that lets you beautify, save and multi-post images to social networks, blogs and clouds. If there was ever a product summary that made sense, it was Polarfox App. Just as it says on the label, this wonderful desktop application lets you take any image you so wish to edit and share with stunning results across the board. At the core, Polarfox App is a simple program with simple ideas. You have two sets of editing options open to you. You can edit the image itself right away with changes such as hue and saturation. But where the app really stands out is the use of the many available filters it has to offer. If you wanted me to sum this up in a few words I would say that “Polarfox App does for desktops, what Instagram does for mobile, but better”. However, summing up Polarfox App in a nutshell isn’t fair. So

WHY U NO POST!?

Trying to keep my personal life and work life apart has always been one of the hardest challenges for me.  In recent weeks the amount of work I have to do for projects and clients in always going up. For every one job I get done about two more come in. It's a slow battle which I'm losing. Even now, I have about four over due projects to finish. Life can be crazy huh?  But never fear, for I have good news. Soon I'll be back to blogging!  When I'm not sure, time is my enemy at the minute but I'll try and get back into blogging as soon as I can. Posts may be few and far between but I want to come back to it. So don't worry.  For now, It's back to waiting for the train...

Small break

As much as I don't want too, I'm going to have to take a small break.  The next three weeks are filled with exams and I didn't know just how much I have to do so, yeah. Busy busy.  I think rather then worring about keeping up with blog posts I will just leave it for the next few weeks and when I can, get some in a line ready to go out.  Sorry about this, I'll make up for it.  Now then. Time to hit these exams like a boss! 

Film Progress #1

Films are one of those media's I don't have time to enjoy as much these days. I'm some one who hates to be sat still for long periods or time and I enjoy doing many things at once. To watch a film isn't a bad thing, I just don't do it as often. However, when watching a film with someone, it's always fun. Lately I was able to start making a list of films to watch through and much like my ' Anime Progress ' I wanted to share it with you. This will be in the same format as ' Anime Progress ' so, let's get started.  Recently finished: Fight Club I was crying at the end of this, I was just that happy. Any normal person would tell you that they enjoyed this film or that maybe they didn't get it and so on. I have never seen Fight Club before until a few days ago after many people had told me to watch it. With no idea what it was about I jumped in thinking 'well, this better be good...' I was shocked.  Not only

I'm so very busy..

...and I'm sorry for the delay on posts. Do forgive me.  As you know I said I would aim to post every Sunday and Wednesday however, I missed last week. I've been very busy this past week dealing with a range of issues. From editing my final college video for three days non stop, living wtih a messed up ankle [I fell down some stairs] and Uni paper work, It's all mad.  I can at least walk again which is nice Fear not however for I will return to the normal ways soon. This week is my final hand in for my college work so right now, I'm writing out the posts I missed and a few others to then release over the week until next week, when I can start to blog more.  Being a student is a full time job. Along with the amount of side projects I run, It doesn't help with free time. None the less, I'm set on blogging as much as I can and for that reason I'm going to just start including everything. From Otaku goodness to just life and work, It's tim

Snapshot Sunday #2

Snapshot Sunday for the dates of Monday 2nd April to Sunday 8th April. It's been a very busy week for me. Had to go into college for the start of the week to sit a few exams and talk to teachers, all that normal stuff. However, once that was out of the way It was the start of half term. This meant there was lots to do.  I always like to try and do as much as I can on personal work during breaks from my study.  Of course I can't start a day without something new to eat. I rarely have time for breakfast these days so come the holidays, I'll do my best to have some. Tea and crumpets has been my morning meal for the past week. Save all the data. I finally got round to backing up all my data on my many hard drives. Due to the amount of work I do at any given time I can having files and copies all over the place. Every half term I spend a whole day just getting everything sorted and in order, as well as up to date.
