Here be yer link mateys: Episode 5: A Moment of Silence

I bet scrolling down this far was hard, wasn't it? Now, we do have some very exciting news. A new addition to The Low(er) Tier family! Lola/ThatDocktorGirl, who shall be heading up our new bi-weekly blog series. On the weeks we don't post episodes, you will have awesome articles from her to look forward to and give you a nice break from the assholes you have to listen to on the show. Without further ado, we shall let her introduce herself:



Hiya, I’m ThatDocktorGirl and I’m the new member of the Low(er) Tier!! I’ll be writing articles on stuff… You know… Basically anything that gets my mind going or something that’s got my attention in past 2 weeks or so. I’ll be the little cheese that packs a punch in the flavour department, between the 2 slices of toasty hot bread that is the podcast… FYI I’m totally lame, if you hadn’t figured that out already…

So I’ve been asked to write a little something to introduce myself, to let you get to know me a bit... First of all, feel free to call me Lola; ThatDocktorGirl is just my main “identifier”. I’m 20, from the Isle of Man. I started playing video games at about 6 years old - my first game is still awesome to this day, it was Parrappa the Rapper - and I still know all the words to the first rap!

The kinda games I like are totally varied. If I had to put a genre on it though, it’d be action - but I need a story to connect with it, or some kinda hook to just grab me. I can’t just play a game for the sake of it, or for whatever social value it has if it doesn’t have that special appeal to me.

I can’t say for definite my all time top game, but the 3 that stand out for me (and this might tell you about me more than I actually can) are BioShock, Lollipop Chainsaw and Devil May Cry 3. They’ve all got a special place in my heart. I would have included Borderlands 2 in that list, but that’s only cuz Handsome Jack is the man of dreams…

I’ve never come across a game I’ve outright hated from the get-go - I rarely don’t not-like a game - but there has been one I stopped playing which grabbed me at the start, and then bored me out of my mind before the 3rd level was up. I was more disappointed in it - was so looking forward to it and now I can’t play it cuz it’s not enough for this girl… I’m talking about Dishonored by the way =)

Outside of games, I love Batman!!! Mainly for the villains mind; if you follow me on Twitter, straight up it’s obvious I love The Riddler. “Hush” was the first one I read… I was just hooked straight away - I like to think I have quite a respectable collection of Batman graphic novels and comics now. I can even rock a Harley Quinn impression yo!!

I like my anime and manga too - Black Butler, H.O.T.D, Ouran High School Host Club, Chaos Head - my favourite manga however (and I’d love to know how many of you know this) is Kitchen Princess - it’s super cute!! It’s a romantic little story about an orphan girl trying to find the love of her life (she has his spoon). Plus it gives you recipes like strawberry shortcake and stuff - it’s so girly and lovely!!

Away from all of that - which I doubt I’m gonna be able to fit into any conversation here - I’m a huge follower of fashion. When I’m not reading or playing anything, I’m looking at fashion blogs on my fave clothing sites, going through the multi-country twitter accounts of my bible aka Vogue. I’m a total girly girl when I wanna be.

Well there ya go… I’m not the best at talking about myself in any way, but get me going about any of the above, it’s quite hard to stop me from rambling on and on. You will find that out soon, I’m positive of that. I am quite approachable - so you can always leave a comment here and I’ll get back to you.

Cheers kiddos x
