Bloody rain!

The great  British summer continues with more rain and bad weather as usual.  It seems like years since it was last sunny and shows no signs of  easing up!

So far this summer I have had two .ca.cancelled outdoor shoots, with a third possible tomorrow.

Still only a month before  I go to see my grandkids.

Dredd times ahead

The buzz from San Diego  comic con around the upcoming Dredd 3D movie seems too  be really positive and great crowd reactions.  The movie has to break $50 million dollar mark in the states to warrent a sequel so fingers crossed  it does!

Another day!

Well it's that time of year again. Tuesday would have been Geds 49th birthday and it was a pretty hard day, thankfully made a lot easier by Laura and my good friends at work. When you spend the majority of your adult life celebrating something with someone and it just suddenly come to an abrupt end, it takes some getting used to and even now twelve years after his death I find it difficult to comprehend that he isnt going to walk in and just say hi as if nothing has happened.

My own birthday is on Tuesday but it's next year that will be the hard one as we would have both turned fifty.

The End

So I finished Mass Effect 3 and to be honest can't see what all the fuss was about! It was a logical ending to an epic saga and not the let down that so many have decried recently.

I'm going to start the whole saga again from the very beginning and attempt to do the things I missed first time around. Still over fifty hours of playing all three games was excellent value for money and such an epic adventure.

Qcon is coming

Not long to go now till this years Q-con event in Belfast, the best games and anime con in the UK bar far.

I will be there with Cliche again this year and debuting Kapow™

About bloody time!

After finishing Mass Effect 2 last week, I
Finally managed to get my copy of Mass Effect 3 back from Danny and I began playing it last night. So far I haven't done much other than the demo and the first two missions (just about to leave The Citadel), but the game is just as epic in scale and the visuals beautifully rendered.

I was looking at some of the cosplay outfits that people have created over the years for the Mass Effect games yesterday and found this image of
Rana McAnear the actress who provided the voice and facial mapping for the Asari Justicar Samara from the second game.

Rana McAnear had a kick starter style campaign online to raise the $5,500 it cost to transform her into her digital persona. I wish I could do something like that related to Cliche lol

Candle at both ends!

To say that this has been a busy week is a bit of an understatement. As well as my regular hours on the desk at work this week I have had two photoshoots in three days, with a third after work this evening.

A shoot near Glasgow yesterday went well but the decision to get off the train at Edinburgh Park and walk with all my gear (including my lights) was in hindsight not a very good one too make.

Still both shoots seemed to go well with the clients happy with the results and I hope that the shoot tonight goes good as I have been looking forward to working with the model for a long time.

So naked women aside, this week I have mostly been playing Mass Effect 2 after blasting my way through the first game last week in around seven hours. This time though I am taking it slow and easy, trying to get as many of the side quests done as I can. The game and the actions I take during play will affect play in the third game.

I was talking with a work colleague on Facebook last night about who should land the lead role of Cmdr Shepard should a movie be made, and very quickly knocked out this poster festering Keanu Reeves as the main character. I think he would actually be an excellent choice for Shepard and I will work on the poster more when I get the chance.
