I'm in Canada for a Ubisoft Montreal Event
atheistium | 7:02 PM on 10.29.2009 12 comments



Hey everyone! Arrived in Montreal, Canada yesterday as I am previewing 3 of Ubisoft's latest games: Assassin's Creed II, Splinter Cell: Conviction and AVATAR.

I'll be blogging for Consolemonster.com as usual and you can check the news at our Ubi portal (which right now is being built so excuse any issues for the first couple of days).

The above video however is of myself and Korina Abbott, UK Community Co-ordinator for Ubisoft, having a good old PROFESSHUNALZ conversations about very important VIDEO GAME JOURNALISMS.

I believe you shall enjoy it :-)

Got any Q's for AC2, Splinter Cell: Conv & Avatar?
atheistium | 7:28 PM on 10.18.2009 16 comments



So I'm a really lucky mother fucker and I am getting sent to Canada to try out Assassin's Creed 2, Splinter Cell: Conviction and Avatar from the 28th till the 1st. Thanks Ubisoft you sexy bitch!

So I going to get a chance to ask the develops of said games some questions and while I am compiling a list of Q's for the doods over at the Ubisoft, I was wondering if anyone at the Dtoid had some questions they'd like answering. Upon my return I will answer said questions on this blog and we can all dance and clap and think about sexy things... like... like... Ezio :P om nom nom

So yes, just pop your question and the title of the game it is directed to in the comments if you have any.

On a side note: I am practically shitting brix. Never interviewed anyone before so this will be a totally new experience in the world of gaming journalisms!

RE: Revs Rant on Sexy Heroins [Video]
atheistium | 10:28 AM on 09.10.2009 55 comments



So I saw Revs 'attack' on Lara Croft and it made me rage a bit. So I made a video defending her because that is what I do and I loves me some Lara and after the video was made Lara came to my house and took me on an adventure and NO ONE ELSE WAS INVITED! It was like super secret DLC.

I am not good at speaking to a camera and this was done in "fun" of the video and should not be taken super seriously. So yeah enjoy me ranting on about Lara very badly and laugh :D This was all done in one take as I could not be arsed to re-do it. So enjoy the mistakes haha.

OH HAI! Google Chrome + Destructoid = Love?!
atheistium | 1:58 PM on 09.01.2009 32 comments



Hey Destructoid, its been a while! I've been busy attempting to be one of those video game journalisms and my copy of IMAGINE Journalist is on its way so all I can do now is... wait... just wait!

On a side note I thought I'd blog here seeing that Google Chrome now finally works with Dtoid blogs and also that we can now up and down vote the blogs. Also the fact that I have not been on the blogs for a while but in the forums & IRCs.

How are you all!? I bet most of you are at PAX and I am feeling kind of lonely. Most of the UK crowd have gone!! I am saving up to go sometime next year! This year I start University so it's all a bit crazy. I don't know if I actually blogged about this or not. So yeah, heading back to London to study Games Studies & Marketing. I am also off to work with Microsoft for work experience while I do uni. Pretty exciting stuffs!

Got my first paid freelance work last month to blog about new MMORPG Aion, which ended today :-D Also went to preview Operation Flashpoint 2 the other week as well, so life has been pretty good.

Got a copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum sent to me as well and holy fuck that game is pretty amazing! Got all the riddles, items and upgrades and am now working my way through challenge rooms. Those are ... not so fun.

What else!? Oh! Creaming myself over the new Modern Warfare 2 trailer, it's amazing!

So yeah! Really this post is kind of a "I'm back" blog. I am trying to juggle a whole load of crap at the moment but really miss the dtoid blogs and posting random crap in it. Hopefully I'll be around more to comment and blog :-)

On a side note: Twitter and my main blog Viera.nu!

Bioshock 2 Press Pack GETS!
atheistium | 9:32 AM on 07.14.2009 12 comments




So the video speaks for itself but yeah... BIOSHOCK 2 RECORD GETS!! I'm told there are only 100 in the world so I
feel happy. If there are more then I have been lied to but feel good about it in the process :3

Please let me know what you think of the video, I am rubbish at them.

As always check out my latest gaming blog random shit on http://www.viera.nu.

DTOID BLOGS STILL DONT WORK IN GOOGLE CHROME :D

Resident Evil 5 is awesome sauce! [Spoilers]
atheistium | 4:12 PM on 03.15.2009 24 comments



Okay so I've spent 33 hours this last weekend and a bit playing RE5 over and over and over again. I've got all
the achievements, unlocked all of mercenaries levels and characters and am now just waiting until versus
gets released so all my extra points I have piled up can be spent on delicious versus character unlocks!

Holy crap though! How is everyone enjoying the game?! It's so impressed that I haven't even completed Lara's
Shadow (Tomb Raider Underworld DLC) because I keep thinking "I could be playing RE5 right now" and quit
out.

Also ROCKET LAWNCHERR]!!! Why on professional mode do rocket launchers pretty much 1 hit kill 90% of
bosses.

This was a professionally written blog with 'High Quality' images taken by my mr.Phone 9001, displayed on
awesome 19" W/S Monitor of win. I did a review of RE5 too at my website.
