The 2019 Scottscars

2019, the end of an era for so many things. Who could forget the universally praised climax to Game of Thrones , finally answering the question of where Daenerys buys her coffee from. Or the end of the Skywalker saga! A trilogy that spent more time retconning itself than actually telling a story. It was also the last time that we lived in a world before Cats was unleashed and changed cinema forever, showing us how musical the results of interspecies breeding could be.           A year where the voices of Twitter trolls became loud enough to pressure a VFX house to redesign an entire CGI character, subsequently leading it to close its doors, as well as helping struggling indie company Disney to bully smaller companies into cruel deals, because they want to see Spider-man line up alongside the Avengers.           But if that sounded bleak, then fear not, as we have the most prestigious and uplifting event of the year here!

Movie Review Round Up- May/June

Sooo many films I've watched recently and shamefully I haven't reviewed any. Just going to do some 'quickies' here so y'all can keep up =) The Avengers/Avengers Assemble I think the fact I saw it 3 times speaks for itself. Unbelievable CGI, great action sequences and c'mon, it's the freakin' Avengers on the big screen! What's not to love? Joss Whedon did the impossible and actually balanced it out in terms of characters, it wasn't the Iron Man show like everyone expected. And the two non-powered Avengers didn't entirely suck either. Genuinely great gags throughout helped balance it. Was a bit slow for the first half and didn't really come together until the arguments started on the Helicarrier, though. Watch it in 2D though if you want to see the darker scenes. +  Hulk. 'Nuff said. -   3D was too dark. Overall 9.1/10 Men in Black 3 Bit of a dark horse, this one. I think the main thing to take away from this is th...

New tablet! Introducing the Intuos!

FINALLY! A new tablet after wearing out my old Bamboo I was quite lucky with this one. The other week I was on the verge of buying the Intuos 4. My Bamboo's all but done and I decided it was time to step up into the professional market. So I go down to Currys and they haven't any in stock, nor are they getting any back in. Craaaappppp. I spend of the rest of the day angry at the world >=( The next day I decide to order one off Amazon. It means waiting a few days and relying on Amazon's turd delivery service to not smash the thing up in the post or leave it lying at their backside. Eh, why try out Wacom's site? They might have a student offer on. The Intuos 5 was just released THAT day. I was dangerously close to paying hundreds of pounds on something that was already outdated. So I gots me an Intuos 5 =D Wireless, over 2000 levels of pressure, tilt sensitivity, multi-touch gestures, really big, black surface and a really fecking big dent in my stu...
