FRA series 3

Greetings, the adventures of Fletch and Roman return for the third series. Fletch and Roman are causing more mayhem in this story in an attempt to save the day. All the characters have now been introduced and most will be included in the story, all of FRA plots are weird but hopefully not too confusing. I believe as it is the third series that new bloggers shouldn’t read it as it would take too long to understand the characters. I hope you enjoy it. The first episode of the adventures of Fletch and Roman series 3 is up in Warehouse 17.

The Invisible Agents chapter 19

Greetings, the 19th chapter of the Invisble Agents is the last, and it marks the halfway point of the Lutionn collection. It is the fourth novel in the series. I hope you've enjoyed it as I have certainly enjoyed writing it. Most of the main characters for the remaining books have already been in a previous plot or mentioned, whether they played a small role or a large one. The characters will be in the next novels and continue to improve the stories that are coming. I would like to thank you for reading this book. The nineteenth chapter of the Invisible Agents is up in Warehouse 17.

It astonishes me that Mr. LaBoeuf has been shot, trampled, and nearly bitten his tongue off, and yet not only does he continue to talk but he spills the banks of English.

Paul

Greetings, as you may know Paul is the third and latest film from the two comedians Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. While it is not as good as Shaun of the dead or Hot Fuzz it is still pretty enjoyable to watch. It definitely has a lot of references to sci-fi, which includes Star Wars. The story follows two nerds Simon as Graeme and Nick as Clive who spend their holiday touring the hotspots of alien activity around America. While travelling at dark, their attention is drawn to the side of the road where the alien, Paul comes out of the dark.  

Paul who is voiced by Seth Rogen, causes Clive to faint and convinces a scared Graeme to let him drive the alien to his destination. As the journey continues, it becomes apparent Paul is trying to return to the mother ship and return home due to the fact he broke out of a government base. They have to get to their destination before they are found by the government under the orders of the Big Guy. I felt it was a little long but it was still funny and worthwhile to watch .I would encourage you to see it if you are into sci-fi. The eighteenth chapter of the Invisible Agents is up in warehouse 17.

If I am King, where is my power? Can I declare war? Form a government? Levy a tax? No! And yet I am the seat of all authority because they think that when I speak, I speak for them. But I can't speak.

Who would you choose?

Greetings, as I have been reviewing mainly video games and movies recently I thought I should try and mix it up with a question. It is, apart from the main character in any game, who would you want to have their own adventure or you would like to play their side of the story in the original game? For example controlling Barney during the events in half life 2.  I would like Boba Fett as he is already well established, has been in several games in which you could play as him but wasn’t the main character. He has quite a lot of background to him which means plenty of stories that could be put into a game. You can give a response if you want. The seventeenth chapter of the Invisible agents is up in Warehouse 17.

Enslaved Odyssey to the west

Greetings, today I am reviewing the recent game Enslaved Odyssey to the west. It revolves around three main characters, one of which plays an important role but comes in half way through the story. It starts off in the future when the world is decaying and returning back to the way it was before humans built on it, during this time Mechs have been programmed by an organisation called Pyramid to capture humans. Once people are caught by the slavers headbands are placed on their heads, making them enslaved. In a slave ship, a young woman with a high skill with technology named Trip escapes from her pod causing havoc as when she does, Monkey, the main character is also aboard the self destructing ship. Monkey eventually breaks free following Trip’s path, only to find that they are both running for escape pods which are leaving at a quick rate. 

After a few minutes Trip ends up in the last escape pod with Monkey hanging on the outside, managing to avoid crashing with the slave ship. Monkey due to the fact he was on the outside of the pod was knocked out of consciousness, he woke up to find enslaved with a headband attached to himself in a ruined New York. Trip explains to a furious Monkey that she had put it on his so he could help her return to her settlement, if he doesn’t do as she says or if she dies Monkey will also become deceased. Reluctantly at first, Monkey aids her on her adventure through the dangerous land. This is a brilliant game with complex characters, excellent graphics and an interesting plot. I would encourage people to play it, the ending makes the player wonder about the whole story line, giving it a different spin on it. The sixteenth chapter of the Invisible Agents is up in Warehouse 17.

True Grit

Greetings, the True Grit I am reviewing is a remake with the original starring John Wayne in 1969. This film is another good start to 2011 entertainment, with good performances by all actors including the actress, Hailee Steinfeld, who played a convincing Mattie Ross, it is made all the more impressive as it is her first major role. This is a Coen brothers movie who also created O’ Brother where art thou? Unfortunately there were occasions I could not make out a few of the sentences but after a while I got used to it and was still able to follow the plot.

The story is quite simple, Mattie Ross a young teenager is trying to hunt down Tom Chaney, the man who killed her father. In her pursuit she hires Rooster Cogburn played by Jeff Bridges, a US marshal who is not as physically fit as he was and is a heavy drinker, who despite his best effort cannot seem to persuade Mattie to leave him. A Texas Ranger by the name of La Boeuf, Matt Damon, is also hunting the same man for a different crime and has been doing so for a long time, he teams up with the others in an attempt to capture Chaney, brining him to justice. As the film progresses, splits occur between those following the murder’s trail and La Boeuf decides to track by himself. Over all this is a good film and is worth watching, hopefully more westerns will come because of this. The fifteenth chapter of the Invisible Agents is up in Warehouse 17.

Theoretically, you have been racing for about 40 seconds now, and so far, Mr. Schaefer is winning, because he's nearest to the door!
