Elder Scrolls MMORPG?

Could this be the future of The Elder Scrolls? Endless grinding and dopey noobs who have no clue what a Dwemer, Dark Elf or Dovakhin are? 

According to Shadowlocked.com, a nameless source at Bethesda has leaked info surrounding an announcement in May for an Elder Scrolls MMORPG, and from what is evident on the fan forums, feelings are mixed on weather or not it would be a good thing! So what do you think? Should Bethesda keep The Elder Scrolls a solitary, private experience, with the main method of social interaction coming from player made Mod's and Plug Ins, or should it go global, with clans, factions and guilds consisting of players from all around the globe?

Rob Draugr: 7 things to do before the new season of the walking dead starts

Okay. Season Two is now definitively over. So amid the speculation, piecemeal leekage of infomation about the new season and impending buiild up to the the premiere episode in october, what in the name of George A Romero do fans like me, you, everybody do in the means time? Well here's a bunch of ideas I'm going to look into whilst I wait for my fix of zombie beat downs:

Rob Draugr: I Walked With The Dead, ok he was just really drunk, but he really did look like a zombie...honest

All We Know, Lifescreen at The Hop...

Thought it was time to write a new blog, and where better to start than a live gig review. That's right, I do leave the house. So, in true adventurer style, I braved the wild and tempestuous streets of Wakefield, Yorkshire last night to go see All We Know supported by Lifescreen and More Than You'll Ever Know at The Hop.

Perhaps for me, the greatest thing about the night was it being a major trip down memory lane, meeting up with lots of old college friends, drinking one too many Strongbows and some inappropriate touching of small ginger people. However, I digress, onto the serious business.

Lifescreen kicked off the events at The Hop, with nice meaty riffs, a bassist reminiscent of Fieldy from Korn and drummer with a penchant for double kick. The Leeds trio's set was solid as a rock, smacking you in the face with Stoner riffs and chest quaking bass riffs. Something which I really love seeing is when other band members than the vocalist are singing along, it seems to show a pride in the lyrics and bare bones of the bands songs, and Bassist Chris Unwin was singing his dreaded heart out along with Mark Burrows, whilst Andy Richards on drums was completely lost in the music, his face one of equal parts concentration and pleasure! If you were there and you missed them, more fool you. If you'd like to here more of there stuff or you missed them, head here and download yourself their music for free. Do it.  Stand out song from them of the evening was definitely "Opting Out", a titanic riff complete with soaring chorus. See the video right there ^^^^

Second on the bill were 'More Than You'll Ever Know" and unfortunately, I have a confession to make, I missed the majority of their set, getting drunk and touching said ginger small people. What I did hear was extremely tight and well written, however not my cup of tea. That said, check them out here and let me know what you think!

Finally, we come to All We Know, an emerging talent from the mean streets of Wakefield. After having to cancel a gig at The Cockpit in Leeds due to illness, AWK were ready to show their fans just what they've got, and indeed they did. With crowd favourites "Circles", "We Right The Failures" and "Before We Fall" being pumped out at a pulse increasing velocity, AWK really gave it their all. Chris Barrand gave his all on vocals, his lyrics weaving a melodic tapestry punctuated with visceral screams of darkness and despair. Tom Barrand and Lee Horner on guitars blended their sometimes haunting and beautiful, sometimes dirty and heavy harmonies sublimely. This combined with Liam Rothery and Tom Parkes on Bass and Drums respectively provided a force to be reckoned with, Liam's bass drove the proceedings forward with Tom's drums adding crescendo and a solid back bone to the bands sound, which if I was asked to describe would be a mixture of Incubus and Killswitch Engage. Their song mastery and stage presence has earned them a place at the newly established "Crooked Ways" festival being held at Pontefract Park, Pontefract West Yorks in the summer, and boy do they deserve it. Again, for me, stand out song was "Before We Fall" AWK's soaring finisher, heavy with a lifting chorus and fine melody that dances round your head like a sprite, weaving a tale of confusion, a longing for an answer and the fear of a relationship breaking down. Something I'm sure all of us can relate to. Look out for All We Know, no doubt they will emerge as perhaps a flagship band for the Wakefield area and plant it firmly on the rock map. Watch the video for "We Right The Failures" belooooooow!

Hot Topic: Arnie's finest acting role to date, with many Blarghalargle's throughout

So this is Christmas, and what have you done??? Well this week, within the kitchen, we've kept our themes of conversation topical, at least semi topical. And, funnily enough, whilst your at home, spending the day with the family, or out at a place, eating an overpriced meal with overpriced wine wearing an overpriced Christmas jumper with a fluffy nose on Rudolph, just remember, we're the poor bastards cooking your food. Merry Christmas...

Hot Topic: Chris would probably just have been happy for the foreplay!

So, I have decided to condense all the nonsensical ramblings which seem to occur when I'm at work into a single, weekly post, which, since I work in a kitchen, I thought it would be nice to call it Hot Topic.

Working in an environment straight out of one of Dante's circles of hell, it's a good idea to either have a warped sense of humor involving the word c*nt, self deprecation and calling Phill a sex pest, or to smoke copious amounts of cigarettes and slowly turn your lungs into dehydrated figs,  or perhaps both. So what have we been rambling about this week??

I'd go source one from a local butcher and hide it in my kids mashed potato.

So, the difficult second post. Will this be an Evil Empire...A Second Coming or indeed a Spiceworld? So, I wonder, with a name which is Nordic for Zombie, should I post something about zombies? Or perhaps play on the subtle undertone of consumerism, especially at this primary gifting period or take the Charlie Brooker route of reality TV and how we all seem to be glued to the TV set watching Simon Cowell lead the procession of mawkish idiots who can just hold a tune and look like House of Frazer model rejects. (Says the fat man with too much body hair...am I jealous?? NO!) I dislike the turgid, flaccid excuse of shows like the X factor and I'm a dwindling celebrity watch me humiliate myself for your entertainment. I dislike them immensely. They seem to objectify the problem with modern society, the schadenfreude of the wet, sloppy fart of commercialism which parade in front of our eyes on the idiot box, drawing us in with flashy lights, Lady Gaga or Kelly Rowland gyrating their hips at you whilst wearing meat or fish or whale blubber or whatever the fashion it is that they're promoting this week, with adverts for the latest flashy Ipod Minute 7.4 and female porn like "Hello", "Oh" and "Sexually Repressed Housewife Weekly". I have personally never voted in a TV show poll. I barely earn enough for them to have them take my cold, hard cigarette fund away from me, therefore why would I pay for them to show me some gimp from a TV show about Essex or Hollyoaks eat a kangaroo testicle??? If I felt like I wanted to watch that, I'd go source one from a local butcher and hide it in my kids mashed potato.
