Who says you can't buy Irn Bru down south!?

Check this shit out.

Milton Keynes bitches.

Lord of the Rings

So a while ago I made a quick video showing the LOTR jewellery I had made. This is a little shitty video, and my jewellery is much better now, but I had a lot of fun doing it :D

EDIT. Just remembered that I made this for a LOTR event that was shit, but I got my money back for it. Seriously though, there was 3 people who came, and it was in a casino. WTF. And now the company who arranged it has broken up :/ It had potential to be amazing. Imagine if it was hosted in a big, huge medieval hall, with an outdoor area that had old fashioned tents sent up. 

It kinda reminds me of a outdoor festival that used to be near where I lived - Chopwell Woods. It was great, there was LARPing, back when I didn't know what LARP was, lots of food, how to make things with nature, some animals. It was just a great day out for the family.

Here's just a few of the LOTR jewellery 

Lit Fest Mini Comic Con

I ran out of business cards a few days before an event, luckily my bestie made me these cuties!

Just printed in photo paper, and they work really well!

Yesterday (Saturday) I went to Middlesbrough for Lit Fest Mini Comic Con at the central library.

It was a tiny event, but the deco was gorgeous! Reminded me of Lara Croft's library, all heavy wooden furniture with massive iron radiators. The staff were lovely, with free tea and coffee, there was about 10 stallholders all together, 2 authors, and a fair few artists.

Here's me pulling a weird face.

It was a very long day, as Middlesbrough is quite far away, about 1- 2 hours away, just for a little event where I didn't really make enough money to cover the cost of petrol. But it was fun!

Then I got home and started preparing for NERG (North East Retro Gaming) with a few hours spent at a mates, then right back into it!

Bubble Bobble!

Lego LOTR

Bought this game when I was in Dundee as it's something that I've wanted since it came out (if you couldn't tell I'm a proper LOTR geek)

As I find with every Lego game, the controls are awkward, I know that it's my fault though, I'm just terribad with them.

The problem I find with this game, is when you play co-op and if you both switch characters at the same moment, you also switch screens.... I don't understand why! And imagine if it happens during a hard part :( Much panicking ensued. But Lego makes up for it with much humour and damn adorableness. We see a lot of the comic relief that Gimli brings in the films, and this is fine! It is used in a way that makes it nice for kids and adults, especially when Gimli grabs Legolas' arm in Paths of the Dead.

Don't get me started on dwarf tossing.

Or Gimli riding Shadowfax.

Seriously though, if you are a fan of the books and films, get this game, it's so good <3

Link in the woods today.

Legend of Zelda Inspired Pieces

 I should start by saying that I have never played a Zelda game in my life, well, that's a little bit of a lie. I played the beginning of the first one, I think, and the beginning of a Gamecube one, starts with a ship?

See? I have no idea!

But I was asked by many people if I would make some, and of course! I'm always open to requests and I do like the Legend of Zelda story/Universe.

Na'vi

I'm going to make full body versions of Link and Princess Zelda, and maybe the baddie (Ganondorf?)

Hm

Raptr

So I've had Raptr for while and I only really started to notice things about it, like the reward scheme it has. I've never used it as I don't have any of the games for it, but it looks really good! Nice little something for people using their site, shame it's for games I'd never buy :/

I get easily lost in it, never too sure what I'm clicking on, all I want to see is my chieves! And to compare them to mine XD Even though my score is always lower *sad*

Sadly I don't think I'll use Raptr to it's full potential, as I'm not a one for using forums and such, I don't even use Steam's community forums :/

Also, I've been watching The Office US
