My Bio
Who am I? I'm a random person who likes solving problems that pop up in various book/film/tv/game/etc series that I pay attention to. Hence, a lot of my work revolves around creating essays, maps, informative pictures, and the odd fan-fic to test out a scenario. I also like designing things, so there's the odd concept there too!

I'm only too happy to help out with things wherever I can...need a quick historical map drawn or want help coming up with a story concept? Send me a message and I'll see what I can do.

Favourite TV Shows
Friends, I suppose. And Lost, but only once I watched it on DVD.
Favourite Bands / Musical Artists
James Horner - Composer. Nostalgia FTW.
Favourite Books
With five bookshelves bursting to the brim, I've too many to count!
Favourite Games
At the moment, games by Bioware and Paradox Interactive.
Favourite Gaming Platform
A toss up between PC, Xbox 360 and PS2...although nothing beats PC for modability!
Tools of the Trade
Adobe Creative Suite
Other Interests
Too many to list!
Hrm, how to begin this one…so just recently I was reminded that Rings of Power existed and that a second season was apparently on the way. I hadn’t bothered to watch the original season as it looked like it was going to be a disappointing mess for a number of reasons (and the post-release discourse confirmed that for me), but the reminder inspired me to look over the source material, and a few wiki binges later…well, I ended up with an idea for an original story that would bridge a gap in the timeline and allow for a diverse cast of characters while exploring some interesting themes… Some context will be needed for this to all make sense, so I’ll start by briefly (hah!) summarising the events that Rings of Power was adapting…loosely. The story properly begins about 1,200 years after the defeat of Sauron’s boss Morgoth, at which point Middle Earth is dominated by Elven realms and a few minor kingdoms of Men, with the only one of note being Numenor; an island paradise that was created

Well, here's something I've not been able to do in a while...actually recommend an Assassin's Creed game! I mean, it's not a 'rush out and buy this right now' game (unless you're an old fan of the series), but it's a good return to form after the last few games, and I sort of see it as a proof of concept for what a larger game in the series could be. That's also not to say it's perfect; there are a lot of minor quibbles throughout (story's a bit weak at times, combat's a bit clunky at times, map feels a bit empty at times, etc), but looking back after finishing it, I don't think it deserves a critical savaging and would say it belongs somewhere near the high end of my rating scale, falling somewhere between 'had some really good ideas but was held back by something big going wrong' (this includes ACI, Liberation and Rogue) and 'overall good but with some issues' (this includes the entire Ezio Trilogy, ACIV, and Origins). Alrighty, let's get into it; Assassin's Creed Mirage feels like

So remember how last week I posted about how Elemental was a film that I thought was okay while my friends disliked it, and also that it was full of ideas and setups that didn't go anywhere? Well, that also applies for this Indiana Jones sequel, except this time I was the one who disliked it while my friends thought it was okay. In the end, I walked away from the film finding myself wanting to revisit the older films, especially Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which, while flawed, was never as bad as people said it was, and as such I'm curious to compare the two (especially since Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was kind of Patient 0 for the whole nostalgic rebooting of old franchises that should have stayed finished). Our story opens with an extended flashback sequence set during the closing stages of World War II, which also happens to be the best part of the film. Indy and Dobby (no, really, that's his actor) are captured while infiltrating a Nazi base to recover the 'Spear of Longinus'.

So, I watched a few short clips of the Episode. Very heartwarming and sad at the Same time

With her Auntie Brandy? Yeah...:(

I appreciate Dragons Unite. If canon LOS was that deep, then it never would've been abandoned.

You're welcome. TLOS's legacy won't die while there are still fans creating content.

Well I don't know if you read book 14 but umm. Yeah it's GG for me. By wof.

A while ago...thought the POV character's monologue was a bit irritating, even when it was revealed why she was like that. Still, not giving up on the series for a reason as petty as that.
