One down, a million to go...

Finally! I can't believe it took me a whole month to complete the Recoil series but it is done! Now I just need to decide on a new game to spend all my time with! Dota A-Z starts next month when I finally get internet back. I have finished recording Recoil but I still need to upload them and I have uploaded some in a weird order... I think I will be offline for the next week or so which will be a bit frustrating and time wasting for me but once we get the new internet up and running you just wait!
We are moving to our new house this weekend and are looking into getting the new fiber networking through the National Broadband Network (NBN) that has just been installed in Australia. I am super excited for decent internet. I have been with Telstra for the best part of this year and their internet is just so slow and always dropping out... Doesn't take much to fix but it's just annoying...
The new webcam is set up which is exciting, looking forward to doing lots of live streams and other fun stuff!
Ok well hopefully next month my blog will be a much more exciting place to be!

Until next time,

The Walking Dead

I just finished Telltale's The Walking Dead and it was honestly one of the BEST games I have played. I cried at the death of all the characters I liked and nearly died when Lee did! I was so depressed about the ending but loved it as well. The little cinematic with Clem at the end leaves the story open to be picked back up again (and I really hope it does!). I kind of knew how the game ended as I had watched a few Youtube clips of it being played but the experience of actually playing the game was much better.
There are lots of choices and the game was like watching a TV series with a few interactive sections. The story line was pretty unpredictable in the beginning but I could soon find patterns throughout that allowed me to guess what would happen with certain choices. My favorite characters were obviously Lee and Clemantine and I really liked Doug, Molly, Omid, Christa and Carly. I hated Kenny because he was always being a douche although what do you expect when you lose your wife and child... I liked Lilly before she killed Doug and then left her behind. I liked Ben till I found out he was a liar and then a coward so dropped him off the tower. I liked the guy with glasses who got eaten by the farmers and cried so much when I found him with his legs chopped off :'(
But this is when I cried the most....

:''''''(

I plan to go back and play it a few more times to see what other decisions result in. 

Until next time,

Dota A-Z

I have made a final decision!
My goal is to do the A-Z challenge starting sometime in November. I would start it on the 1st of November but we are moving houses so that might be a bit tricky. I am planning on live streaming my A-Z game play and hoping to win most of my games hehe. I hope that by the end of this I will be less noobish. I have been spending so much time reading up on heroes abilities to try and gain an understanding of each hero and know how to counter and to complement. Obviously playing pub games is going to be pretty average but hopefully I might get some people watching who want to play with me which will be awesome!
I am looking forward at starting this challenge as I want to better myself at Dota and be better than average :)
I have also decided I might change the rules of my challenge slightly. Instead of just playing till I win with each hero I want to play at least four games with each hero and have at least one win among those four games. It may take a bit longer and I will probably only live stream one game from each hero (hopefully the winning ones hehe!) but I think the extra effort will be worth it and will help me improve immensely.
I have read a few different posts on reddit about people completing the challenge and things they learnt. I would appreciate any comments and advice anyone may have about completing this challenge.

Until next time,

More presents in the mail!

So following on from the arrival of our Starcraft figures another purchase finally showed up in the mail! I had been worried for weeks that I had ordered from a fake website but I am pretty accurate in determining reliable websites. So anyways I ordered Pokemon cards from the original base deck. I already had half the cards but I really wanted to complete the deck. Charizard was the most expensive at $30. The rest were between 0.50 cents and $20. Was a bit of a spending spree for me...
I am so behind with the times and I am so lucky I have Tillie feeding me all of the latest news when it comes to gaming and what not. I found out that Navi now have a girl team! I was pretty amazed and proud of my gender :) Girl Power Yeah! Although Tillie kind of rained on my parade and said that he was probably more skilled than them but they are hotter than him so it kind of evens it out!
Oh my gosh! Walking Dead is super intense! Everyone has pretty much died and its kind of sad. I wanted to cry when I found the guy in the bathroom with his legs cut off... But we are now on a train but have stopped because a tanker fell off a bridge. Kenny is a mess pretty sure he might die soon but we still have Ben who is a fucking noob! I used to like him but after I found out he was helping the bandits I was pissed... We left one of the girls behind because of him and Doug got shot :( I liked Doug...
Pretty excited because the latest episode of Walking Dead is now out and I am really excited to immerse myself in that again. I was reading the graphic novels but have fallen behind a little. They are amazing... Just so well drawn and the story line is different to the television show but good as well. I haven't heard many good things about the other walking dead game so I am not sure if I will play that.
I have also decided on my next lets play which I will start in November. It will be so exciting because I will be in my new rental which is awesome! I can't believe that October is nearly over and that my Recoil lets plays have taken nearly a month to complete. I suppose I really only get to upload videos on weekends and when I have days off...
Well I am going to start watching Walking Dead and perhaps go and find the graphic novel to read somewhere.

Until next time

Starcraft 2

I have been meaning to upload a picture of my new Starcraft figures that finally came. We had been waiting ages for them and thought it was the new graphics card... We were much more excited to find these guys in the parcel! I miss Starcraft so much! I literally haven't played in ages and just sit and watch Husky commentate to fill the hole that Starcraft left in me. Honestly, I don't think I would even have time but I still miss it and can't really afford it yet... I am so excited to move these guys into our new rental that we got accepted for! Yay! Anyways here they are!

Pretty cool! 

On a somewhat unrelated note I have finally finished the 3rd island of recoil and am now recording eps of the fourth island. Unfortunately, I am playing super conservative in the newest ones as I don't want to die! I am also playing Walking Dead again and am loving the epic intense story line! Bit behind with the times I know... I have also finally clocked up 70 whole hours on Dota 2 and am able to pick up Mythical items!

Well pretty sure that's it for now.

Until next time,

Time for a break!

The last week I have been flat out working, trying to pass my exams and entertaining my boyfriend's mum and sister while they are here visiting. I am on the verge of dying from lack of sleep trying to get things organised. Fortunately this weekend I have a four day weekend and will be catching up on some much needed Dota time. I want to do a live stream sometime next week on one of my days off or when my boyfriend is at work. It is much too difficult to do a live stream with him in the background asking if he can go on the computer... So frustrating... Anyways, one thing I am really looking forward to is Christmas because I have been promised the new Nvidia Sheild! You can check out the review for it here. I am really excited to try out the new Pokemon X Y with all of their new Pokemon! 
I have also ordered a new web cam for when I do my live casts and am super excited to try it out! Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to uploading a new video but stay tuned over my long weekend for heaps of new stuff!

Until next time,

Happy Birthday

Today is a special day, it is my boyfriend's 22nd birthday! He is getting old... I dropped him at work at 6am today which was annoying because I have been awake ever since! I recorded a new Youtube video and have finally completed the second island of recoil. I have the rest of the month to finish this game which shouldn't be a problem unless I am super lazy... Click here for the latest video and keep up to date with my recoil saga by subscribing to my youtube channel!
Happy Birthday Tillie!

Until next time,

Recoil Continues

I have been pretty busy over the weekend and had to drive to Perth and back in two days to pick up my boyfriend's mum and sister. I had to drive the whole way and my new car got a dent in it :( I also lost $90 at the casino which was sad. Anyways I think I will be pretty busy the next two weeks with my boyfriend's family here but I want to finish the second island videos by the end of the week. The second video is here and the third video is here.
Will try and make a new one tonight or early tomorrow morning! Still playing Dota 2 and have an idea that I want to release later down the track when I have thought about it a little more. I have also started my templar assassin cosplay! Can't wait till its finished so I can upload pictures and maybe get some ideas on what my next cosplay will be!

Until next time,

October is here

I can't believe that we are already in the first week of October! Time just flies when you have so much to do. Summer is approaching which means beaches and fun to normal people but to me it just means I'll need an air con to keep myself cool while gaming. I have made another video since my last one and made it much shorter and tried not to lose my train of thought as often. I have also set up a new twitch tv account to start broadcasting my game plays live! Everyone is egging me on to get a web cam but I want people to watch my twitch for my awesome personality J

I will be recording a new video tonight and uploading it to my youtube channel. As well as Youtube I have Tumblr which I mentioned in an earlier blog post, Facebook, Twitter and of course Twitch. I will provide a link for all of these on my homepage once it is all set up!

For this month I am sticking with Recoil and might broadcast a bit of Dota as well as starting a new Pokemon video series. I would like to get opinions from people of which version of Pokemon I should play.

Until next time,
