Bipolar Adventures.

As i sit in an agitated and bored state i thought of you, you got me through hard times and made me feel like i had a voice when no one would listen to anything i'd say and i thank you for that blogspot!

Now i haven't forgot about you at all, just new adventures and my addiction to Minecraft make it hard to find spare time to write about you, but never fear i did today.

My life is starting to turn into the American time zone at the minute, working for an American company is hard work especially when it comes to editing and reviewing games, i feel like i spend a lot of my time waiting and constantly surfing the web for news stories to write about and then spending the next hour making sure every little detail is true, prices for games, images, videos, special editions, release dates, the publisher and developer involved and the hype surrounding that game.

So far I've covered mostly newly released titles and the dates/editions that will be coming out, Devil May Cry 4 being my first, then Assassins Creed Syndicate and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege.

I wrote a new article on remastered games again touching on what i discussed on my blog before but went into more detail about the stats and performance of the games new release, instead of disagreeing with them completely i posed an argument for one success story, one game we all wish to be remade and one that seems doomed from the go and asked about the readers thoughts, safe to say no one has voiced an opinion yet which is disappointing as id love to talk to some new people about up and coming releases.

But all in all i absolutely love what I'm doing, the team at The Nerd Stash have been more than happy to help me as i start my new adventure and things seem to be going really well at the minute, I'm treating it like a full time job and want to give it my absolute 100 percent even if that does mean staying awake till 6am to be in keeping with their time zone.

Fell free to read my review of Wolfenstein:The Old Blood and My article on Remastered games by clicking on the highlighted text.

So things have changed a lot, hopefully for the better, 5 months ago I couldn't read, speak, form an opinion or anything due to the amount of drugs i was on to calm me down and stop me from trying to pull my arms off, sadly that arm part is 100 percent true, I've learned to be super open with my Bipolar and just leave it on the table free for discussion cause I'm no different from anyone else in the world.

Sorry if I'm rambling, I'm just kind of venting what words i have in my head for the internet to read, because people do read these believe it or not, I know right, crazy! But hopefully i can help someone that feels like they can't deal with life anymore and show them that there is positive things in life and you'll always get through.

I started this adventure with no clue in where it would go and now I'm writing for a website about games and thats like a dream come true for me, who knows where ill be in 1 years time. IGN perhaps. thats the dream!

Well thank you to everyone that did or didn't read this and i hope you enjoy what little things i have to offer on this lovely Friday.

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood Review

Sorry about the silence on the blog from I entered self inflicted exile to play and review Wolfenstein: The Old Blood for the nerd stash and it took a lot longer than I thought it would getting use to there style and keeping my review up to scratch unlike my normal comical overviews of my experience with the game, so please take the time to look at the website, everyone works really hard to try and keep up to date with all the news and keeping up to date with all the happenings in the world of nerds!

So come take a look http://thenerdstash.com/wolfenstein-old-blood-review/

I hope you enjoy everything that we are trying to bring to the table and I'm excited to move forward with this new adventure, even if the american time zones are fucking up my sleeping patterns! damn being 6 hours in the future.

The start of something new #Thenerdstash

Don't be put off by the title, I'm not stopping the blog at all. I've recently been trying to progress my portfolio, hopefully over the next couple of days I'll be able to share my new experience with you as I should be doing some freelance writing for a cool new website called www.thenerdstash.com An American based haven for all things games, technology and nerd, as it says in the title.

Check back soon.
I recently was in talks with there editor in chief Jeremy Harris and I'm excited to say that I should be starting pretty soon, so look out for my new posts on their website aswell as updated blog posts from ManicallyDepressed-ModeratelyFunny

Some things that I've got to work on is probably my potty mouth, grammar and punctuation, basic understanding of the English language would probably go down quiet well also.

So things are looking on the up for me at the minute. Not only is bipolar life starting to get better with new adventures starting everyday hopefully over the next month all my medication should be sorted out after 6 months and I'll be on the up and up.

So there's another small update of things going down in my little bubble.

I look forward to sharing another chapter of my strange little life with everyone.

That awkward 20%

I went through a phase of trying to finish my ever growing list of titles I have yet to complete, it's safe to say that phase is over and I'm in the '20' percent phase.

He suffered the wrath of 29%
This is a place where you put in enough hours to start the game and invest a significant amount of hours growing your character to a good enough level to no longer feel a complete noob but still a fair distance away form being something unstoppable.

I named it this as my ps4 trophy list is slowly filling with titles sitting around that mark.

Some lucky, others not so.

FarCry 4 falling into that now troubled group of games, it wasn't lucky enough to stay on my shelf, Will i keep playing? Have I seen enough. Ive done like 29 percent of the complete game, I think I'll trade it in, if i want to finish it I'll get it at another point.

Unity fell next at 24%
Assassins Creed Unity - Hey Edward or mmmm Ezio. nope uhhhhhh Conway ? Altair. How invested am I right now, 24 percent. Ive seen enough to call it a day I think, worse case scenario I'll buy it when its cheap.

This is a problem I keep falling into.

Borderlands The pre sequel - 31% (close enough)
Lego Batman 3 Beyond Gotham - 27%
Dying Light - 21%
The Last of Us - 2 Play throughs - 10%

Don't even get me started on the under 10% games I currently have started either.

Does anyone else suffer this problem where you start something new, put a few hours in, get invested only to change to something else and fear going back to that game?

Maybe Dying Light just shit me up enough to keep me from going back to it as night time is something else.
I started it and 2 hours later it was 100% done.

Sometimes It means I finish a bunch of games at the same time, most times it means I trade them in un finished for something else. Thank God for PS Plus or i would own no titles at all these days.

Still this hasn't stopped the problem from happening I just own titles I want to play that I know ill never get round to at the minute like Never Alone and Abe's Odyssey. Why not just start them? Because Batman will suffer the wrath of trade in value next and I want to try Platinum that one as its seems rather easy.

I was all on track to publish this article two days ago, i was on a role and then out of nowhere came the urge to play Minecraft, maybe it was all that Achievement Hunter that id been watching? so i downloaded it, so i owned it forever, I phoned my brother and said get on that hype and he joined me.

That was two days ago and Batman is now in that fucking pile I'm talking about with the Pre Sequel and Dying Light, I won't trade them in as I'll get The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt on May 19th and my world will come to a full stop.
I always maintained it was like a drug and it really is!


You'll be happy to know Minecraft is at 52percent so far,
so its held my attention for the most amount of hours anything has in a long time, maybe since Super Smash Bros Wii U.


Anyway people let me Know if you struggle with that awkward 20 percent and enjoy your Friday.
