Hello World #2...

Hello all, I know I've been super super quiet, why have I started reading 'Super Super quiet' in an American accent? I'm not even American!

So I started my new job, and I'm now 2 weeks into it, it's early days, but I'm actually really enjoying it, I've spent almost 5 years in the energy industry, and now to move into the financial services industry is definitely something new and exciting, and something I'm genuinely interested in!

It's certainly a lot stricter though, if I make a mistake or do something wrong, it's not just a case of loosing my job, I could be banned from working in the Financial services industry for life, now there's a thought.

I've also met some great people, and get on really well with everyone at the new workplace, I'm not finding it a chore to go to work, I get up and quite content with a routine, and  a great job to go to, which also pays a lot better than the previous one too :P

On another note, my car is poorly it's squeaking a lot, needs some new brake pads, it also needs a new headlight because the indicator is dodgy, and it needs other bits and bobs done to it as well to make it all pretty and nice :P

On one final note, I've just watched the reveal trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3!!! It's fricken amazing, that might be the tipping point in me buying an Xbox One, but I'm hoping that I can still play it on the old 360 for now, money is tight ya know!

 I haven't really played AW much I've grown a bit bored to be very honest, but I'm sure i'll get back onto it soon!

Anyway, that's all folks thanks for listening again!! :)

Fast & Furious 7 - Movie Review...

Fast & Furious 7
Release Date - 03/04/2015
Estimated Budget: $190,000,000

"One last ride".

This is it, one of the best ever movie franchises (in my opinion) returns with Fast & Furious 7, this is a sequel to the critically acclaimed Fast & Furious 6, and follows the story of Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) who seeks the ultimate revenge for hospitalising his brother Owen Shaw who was responsible for terrorist-like activities in the sixth instalment of the franchise.

Image Source: http://www.cinemablend.com
The whole team are back together, and what a blast it is (pun intended), this movie is full of high octane action from the word go, and is an emotional farewell to the late Paul Walker, who sadly died in a real life car accident.

A young hacker invents a program to track anybody, anywhere on the entire planet, it's the teams job to make sure that this program doesn't fall into the wrong hands, because if it does, this would result in catastrophic consequences.

This movie has definitely sealed itself as one of my all-time favourite flicks, so much so that I'm considering going to watch it again!

Further Storlyline (Source IMDb).

"Dominic Torretto and his crew thought they left the criminal mercenary life behind. They defeated an international terrorist named Owen Shaw and went their seperate ways. But now, Shaw's brother, Deckard Shaw is out killing the crew one by one for revenge. Worse, a Somalian terrorist called Jakarde, and a shady government official called "Mr. Nobody" are both competing to steal a computer terrorism program called God's Eye, that can turn any technological device into a weapon. Torretto must reconvene with his team to stop Shaw and retrieve the God's Eye program while caught in a power struggle between terrorist and the United States government".

My Movie Rating:

Hello World #1...

So I was inspired recently by a fellow blogger/friend a 'bliend' to post something a bit more from the heart every so often, to give you an insight into my life and what's happening, and why I'm doing this...

I started this blog for a number of reasons, one because my friends have blogs too, both of which are really cool, and I liked the idea of having a hobby and something to write about, because I do love to rant and write, even if I don't have the best grammar or spelling, it's nice to have somewhere to put down my thoughts, and just escape for a little bit.

I found out not so long ago that my current employer will not be renewing my contract, and my last day of employment was 31/03/2015, they let me leave early, so I could find alternative employment, even know I haven't really shown it, this really put me in a bit of a bad spot, sounds daft but the blog really really helped with that, which is why there was pretty much me posting non-stop LOL!

I've now found a new job and I start next Monday on the 13th April and to be frank I'm absolutely shitting myself, I lack in self confidence which is my main issue, but other than that I'm just generally scared of starting a new job with new people, it takes a lot for me to 'let someone in' even though I'm getting better at it :)

So I just wanted to share a little bit of a personal story, aside from my new job, I have also decided to become an Avon Representative again, do I like make-up and perfumes and stuff? Ermmm... NO! It's just something to fill the gap in my CV, and earns me a little bit of pocket money on the side, always like to keep busy from a job perspective, wouldn't like to have to go and 'sign on' every two weeks, can't be dealing with that LOL...

My aspirations for the rest of the year, is/are to start our YouTube channel (3wee) I think that's what we're calling it, I hope they are happy with that :P

To clear some debts, go on holiday and buy a new car, maybe not all of those will be possible but small steps eh?

There is always someone worse off than you in this world, I'm lucky I've got some amazing friends, and family, some of them don't really know this, but without them I don't think I would be the person I am today, I'm a 'Bottler' and it's not often I'll go soppy on you!

Thanks for reading!

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 - Officially Announced...



Hellllllooooooooooo!! Today has been a very very interesting day for the Call of Duty series, Activision have officially announced that the next COD game to be released will be Call of Duty: Black Ops III!

It all came about a short while ago, when a random update was rolled out to Black Ops 2 games! Why would they update a game that's more than 2 years old? In doing this, they actually updated the game to reveal little teaser pictures, containing snap chat QR codes, these several snap chats, have revealed mysterious little details about the upcoming release, but nothing has really been given away, until now!

I can't tell you how excited I am for the launch of this game, Black Ops and Black Ops 2 were my favourite ever Call of Duty games, for both Zombies and Multiplayer, there have been lots of hints dropped all over the place today, here's the main points I've found out!
  1. Element 115 reference in the teaser trailer (Zoooooombies)
  2. Co-Ordinates to the location of a bridge in Egypt???
  3. Co-Ordinates of a school???
  4. Co-Ordinates of an old holding prison in Switzerland???
  5. Futuristic feel and look of the game, is there an Exo suit in there???
  6. Will this be available cross-platform or next-gen (I hope not, let us have one last COD on the old Xbox 360 LOL)
  7. Lots of hieroglyphics and symbols, factions or prestige emblems maybe??? 
The official world reveal is set to 26/04/2014 only 16 days away, It's so sad but I'm actually excited to see what comes of it!! 

Here is the official teaser trailer, released by Activision only a few hours ago! 

On a little bit of a final note, Clan Wars starts again tomorrow in approximately 19 hours, this time we're visiting L,A, not sure about the rest of my clan, but I'm looking forward to finally completing the centurion loadout, and I really want to get to Clan level 25, so we can have the infamous red tag! wooo...

Nighty night :)

COD AW - Two New Prestige Levels - Video...


Hello all and happy April, I'm really sorry that I haven't blogged in a while, I've been really busy spending a lot of my time over at my friends' house, playing A LOT of Call Of Duty, and staying up to ridiculous times in the morning, I've left now for a little while (Because I think they're getting sick of me a bit :P hahaha).

To celebrate the Launch of the DLC2 pack on COD AW, we had the opportunity to partake in some Double XP COD action, for a solid 3 days and oh did we play!

We played so much so, that I managed to get through two prestige levels, so now I'm sitting comfortably at Prestige 9 and most of the way through to Prestige 10.
Prestige 8 Emblem

Let me talk about Prestige 8 first...
So the emblem is pretty damn cool, it features a pretty scary snake with wings! Yes wings! I think I called this a Birnake half Bird/Bat and half snake...

This is one of my favourite emblems so far, I know I keep saying that but it really is...

Unlocks for this prestige level were 1x Atlas Tier 1 Pants, cool all red pants, similar to bloodshot design, and also one Advanced supply drop (Which I opened in the video below).

Now to move onto Prestige 9, the emblem in itself is a little bit of  a
Prestige 9 Emblem
let down, looks to be a series of swords, presented in a cross shape, with some sort of creaturey/animal thing in the middle, can't quite make out what it is, is it some sort of dragon? or is it some sort of other more friendly animal a Fox perhaps... I literally have no clue, if you do know... please enlighten me!

Unlocks for this prestige level again were a little disappointing, and I unlocked just one Advanced Supply Drop, which again is opened in the video below.

Let's hope that there's something pretty decent that we unlock at Prestige level 10, as soon as I get there, I'll let you know :)

One more point before I post the video, I've had a quick look at the new DLC pack, and the grapple playlist is awesome!! First time I used it, somehow managed to get a kill with it, by shooting it in between someones eyeballs, they must have had prior damage or something, not sure if this is a glitch or something! Gutted that I didn't record that shit lol...

Anyways here is the video of the prestige levels and the 2x Advanced Supply drop openings.
