Couple o' Friends Play
I know some people have something against watching LPs (let's plays) and LPers. They usually ask why you don't just pick up the game and play it yourself- but I think they're missing a vital part of what makes LPs so entertaining; the LPers themselves.
Usually the best thing to do after an exhausting day is to laugh, and no group of LPers make me laugh more than the Achievement Hunters from Rooster Teeth- I even did my website assignment on them! They may not be everyone's cup of tea, but there's something about watching someone else's reactions to playing video games that is really entertaining. The combination of people in AH and how they interact with one another makes me laugh, it's basically just a bunch of friends all playing together, except this is their job. It gives me an odd sense of contentment that there's a bunch of guys hanging around in an office playing video games. Of course, Rooster Teeth as a company produce other material, but the steady and reliable upload of AH videos each week makes me grin thinking about it.
This is one of my favourite videos, just because of how chaotic it is. Please be mindful of some course language!
Just coming home and watching them during a break gives me enough laughter to let a bad day go :)

X-Men: Days of Future Past
Alright guys, no surprise here, I'm a comic book fan. And I'll let you know something, the X-Men are my favorite comic series ever. Now combine this information with the fact that I'm also an avid film fanatic and well...I get pretty damn excited about new X-Men movies, such as this one - X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Now let me give you a little background information. "Days of Future Past" is a classic story arc of the X-Men that was published during 1981. It has since become known as the staple story that people associate the X-Men with within comic book culture. In this arc, mutants are being actively and publicly hunted/killed by giant robots called 'Sentinels'. Believing the only way to prevent this mutant genocide from happening, Shadowcat (Kitty Pryde) travels back into the past to stop the Sentinel Program from the beginning.
The film combines the cast of the original X-men film with their younger counterparts from X-Men: First Class. It's incredibly awesome, and completely unprecedented in comic book movies. This could very well be a more ambitious project than The Avengers - in terms of all the characters director Bryan Singer is putting on screen. Here is the final trailer:
Honestly, if this movie is a disappointment, I will never be excited for another movie as much as I am excited for this one ever again. MAY 22 is the release date in Australia, definitely check this movie out.

What make you happy?
What makes me happy?
For me? GAMES, woooooooooooo!!
Whether it being the joy of winning a strategic game with friends like DOTA (Defence of the Ancients), or even shooting people in the head... wait, that didnt come out so well! Cannot wait till Watch Dogs to come out, if you don't know what it is, it's pretty much a game where the protagonist is a crazy hacker, and is set around the information warfare.
Watching anime is also one thing that provides me with happiness, theres this anime called Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, where it translates to daily lives of normal high school boys. Its pretty much about what the title says, the daily lives of high school boys, where they talk about the most ridiculous things, including role playing of monsters, what it would be like to be a girl, how to pick up girls, you just have to watch an episode and see the endless laughs from the anime.
Nevertheless, an awesome game that is coming out!!
Anyways have a nice day

Snapsterpiece.
Lol finally, a snapchat blog!
.. Random videos of yourself or your friends (Waddap Indian kids with an obsession for brooms and fob sunnies!..)
So snapchat is essentially this application where you can take pictures/videos and only view them for a maximum of 10 seconds, and then they are gone forever (or atleast, we think they do)
You can send things that range from simple things like random food that you see...
.. Selfie with your friends and family..
.. your stupidity..
.. Random videos of yourself or your friends (Waddap Indian kids with an obsession for brooms and fob sunnies!..)
..To finally your very own snapsterpiece!!
If only I could screenshot my friends snapchats :( :D
That feel after a really long day and then you have friends who send you the random-est/crazy stuff which makes you contemplate your life and get you to realise.. Life isnt as bad afterall :)

Never Back Down
Like every other person, I like to watch a good movie from time to time. However, rarely do I come across a movie that motivates me and makes me feel like I have to never give up. One movie that made me feel this way was Never Back Down.
There are two movies in the Never Back Down series themed around MMA fighting, with both giving strong messages about not giving up and reaching your full potential. The first movies tagline is "Win or lose...Everyone has their fight". This tagline can relate to anything in life, whether it be uni work, work, sport or personal matters that make you want to give up and throw in the towel, remember that everyone has their own fight.
Both movies contain protagonists that have personal problems ranging from their dad dieing and blaming themselves, to struggling to support their family. We see them progress the various stages, including giving up and not wanting to fight again. However in the end like in most movies they pull through and achieve what they have been fighting so hard for.
So remember guys, no matter how hard life gets and no matter how much you wanna give up, remember to NEVER BACK DOWN!

Music Is My Saviour
Music. Music is one of those things that just works on every occasion and for every mood. Whether I am angry and want to lash out at the next person I see, or feeling down or sad due to certain reasons, I know i can always find a song that will make me feel better.
Whenever I am angry I tend to listen to rock, metal or some really hardcore gangsta rap that just seems to let me burn out that anger by putting it in context to the long lyrics or making me jump around like some crazy person. Ha ha. When I'm down and gray I listen to motivating songs, something that makes me look at myself in the mirror and say "Listen buddy, you need to get your stuff together. There's no time to feel down and let the world pass by."Something like the theme to Rocky, because we all know that motivates like crazy.
To finish off here are some of my favorite songs to get me pumped up and feeling good as new again.
Faydee- Unbreakable
Limp Bizkit- Break Stuff
Gym Class Heroes- The Fighter Ft. Ryan Tedder
Rocky Theme
Hope you enjoy them!
