You might be wondering...

As to why this week has been a bit on and off with the blog posts. I do have a fairly good reason/reasons but I shall put those off and just let you know what I am hoping to do in the short future dependent on time.

Basically I am planning on doing the normal week-day posts which will involve the round up of interesting news items as found on the internet. These will be gaming related for the foreseeable future. The weekends or at least one day over the weekend I am hoping to start doing a weekend feature of sorts on a specific topic and my thoughts on it. As ever the week-day posts will also have this attached to them too.

If you have previously seen in a previous post (or if you have not please click here to view it) you may remember be mentioning about the You Tube project I had in mind. This should surface over the summer however it will again be dependent on the amount of time i have between now and then.

That is actually all for now. This is as I said due to varying reasons why I have not posted recently but please be sure to check back tomorrow for more news!

New You Tube Project

For those of you who have visited and viewed my You Tube channel AJB123644 you may have noticed that I have not updated it for a while now. I wish to change this and have a project in mind however I am going to below detail a few ideas in the hope that you readers will be able to give me some feedback on my idea.

The Pitch:

Basically the show will be posted once a week on a day as yet to be decided on You Tube. The show is to be themed round a news based programme where all the weeks news is rounded up into one place with the odd comedy added in for good measure. The show would be mainly based around gaming although would at times if something interesting came up have highlighted topics from general news items.

The show would also feature parts dedicated about upcoming games, viewpoints on these and more.

So any more thoughts you could suggest or maybe just give an opinion on the whole pitch. Would love to hear what you all have to say about the idea and I would like to get it up and running in the summer by doing a couple of one off videos with which to see how people react.

Also just a quick note that there will be no post tomorrow as I am off to a concert tomorrow night therefore will have no access to a computer from home until Tuesday.

There will be an uprising coming this Spring!

EA are going to be releasing the expansion C&C Red Alert 3: Uprising this Spring but what is most intriguing is that they will be releasing it as a download only. So far they have not commented as to where it will be hosted etc but we can probably guess at it only being made available on the EA Download Manager which is a great shame. We all know that the EA Download Manager lets you download the game for free at any point within 6 months of purchase. You can opt to have this extended if you desire but after that time expires you cannot download the game anymore without purchasing it again. A great shame as the EA Download Manager could be bigger if they removed this feature especially as they do have some good deals on there.

I have added a new blog to the "Blog's To Visit!" list down the sidebar to the right of this post. The blog is run by M_the_C and is also trying to do a post a day blog also. His posts are brilliant and he is currently doing a 7 day stint in Children of the Nile. A great blog and I highly recommend you to take a look at it here or you can click on the blog via the list in the side bar to the right.

I was also planning on doing a written version of a new project I am planning for You Tube which will hopefully be seeing the light of day in the form of a few pilot episodes later in the year. Unfortunately a huge list of stuff to do crept up so I shall work on it for next Friday. It is a work in progress so it may change over time.

Phase Two - Layout and Colour Changes - Complete

You may notice a huge difference to both my blog and You Tube channel (AJB123644) in the form of a re-design. I has orginally done a very odd scheme for the You Tube channel which was not really that pleasing on the eyes so I have changed it in light of a upcoming announcement in the New Year.

Hopefully the new colour scheme of which are both on my You Tube channel will be a lot more user friendly and be more appealing to all you visitors out there!

With regards to Phase 3 which is now what I am classing as the final transfer of all You Tube videos to my main channel. This has been delayed due to unforeseen circumstances and will be merging the musicajb123644 channel over the next fortnight.

Upgrade near completion

Phase One Complete

As it says in the title of this blog post phase one is now complete of my You Tube Channel merger.

After some hard thinking I have decided that having three seperate You Tube channels made life too complicated and meant clicking on far too many links in order to see the different range of videos I have on offer at the minute. Now you will be able to view all my videos that were on the GuruAJB123644 You Tube channel on the AJB123644 Channel. With them all eventually being merged into one place it should make life a lot easier for all you out there to enjoy my videos in one central place.

I shall be moving the musicAJB123644 channel's videos over the next week so keep an eye out and if you are wondering where they have gone then just check out my main You Tube channel here:

That is all for now. Soon it will be Christmas but enough of that until later!

Update on Wordpress

I have just finished a new page for Wordpress. This can be accessed by clicking the link in the bar at the top of the page underneath the image.

This new page has all of the latest videos on it from my Youtube accounts, so please enjoy.

I must warn you though that it is not quite finished yet as there is still another two sub pages for GuruAJB123644 and MusicAJB123644 to go on there however I shall update you when these are finished.

Another Website Added to The AJB123644 Project

I have finally signed up to Wordpress. I shall be using that site as a website for the time being and you will also be able to view all of my blogs etc on there too. It will basically be the main 'hub' for everything I do within the Network.

I have now also decided to call this the AJB123644 Project. Seeing as there are a few sites up and running now I thought maybe it was time for a collective name/term to be used and so came up with that while on my Wordpress site easily viewed here. It is still under construction but it should hopefully have a few more pages added to it soon (ish)!

In other news the colour scheme on here and on my Youtube accounts will be changing shortly to make everything a little more user friendly and easy on the eyes.

Team Fortress 2 - Goldrush Preview - Courtesy of GameTrailers.

I was surfing through You Tube looking for help on how to make Team Fortress 2 maps when all of a sudden I saw this video stating that it is a preview for Goldrush. So intrigued I have a look and wow. It looks amazing and it does not look anything like the community made it so this could be the first real preview that we have of Goldrush!

It was actually added on March 17th 2008 on this
guy's You Tube Account so it could be a little older than that however it could be good news for us Team Fortress 2 fans as maybe it will mean the next major update will be coming out soon(ish).

From what we can see in the video it looks pretty much finished however they could just be perfecting the whole Medic classes new debut for unlock weapons.


So enjoy the video (See below):



If you cannot see the video above then please click here and this link will navigate you away form this site to the video page where you can then proceed to view it.

From what you can see on the video it looks like the map will be split into different sections and run in one of two possible ways.
It could run through like Hydro or I have a feeling it will run like Dustbowl.
Although there is also the possibility that the map could just run on one whole turn which is likely as the video does not pause to change into another map. But if it does run like that it is going to be one hell of a big map. Could be a very long map indeed.

Dustbowl seems to be more of a realistic run because it looks like the map is aimed at the attackers trying to get past the defence like in Dustbowl where you have the map split up into sections and you progressively get closer to the final target much like this.

It also looks, but there is no definite suggestion, that there will be multiple routes for the cart to go on. Now how these will work it is unknown and not made very clear on the video.

Another key feature are the control points where it looks like you will have to get the cart to in order to get to the next stage. This could possibly mean that the opposing team will be able to push back the cart as well but again there is nothing to suggest this.

Well I shall update more on Goldrush if any more news comes out before the release and it looks like it could be one hell of a release.

With thanks to Gametrailers and also kocha65900 for providing the video.

J-Server Custom Map Test - 11/04/2008 (GuruAJB123644).

Last night (11/04/2008) a whole load of us piled onto the Java Server on Team Fortress 2 so that we could all have a quick bash on some custom maps that had been created by members of the server.

So having decided to record footage of the evening I have somehow aquired 20 gigs worth of video that I shall be sifting through tomorrow and then uploading onto You Tube tomorrow (hopefully).

Plus I have now also joined www.photobucket.com so you will be seeing a lot more images on the Blog from now on!

Waterstones Book Reviews

Well a few months ago I did a review on the Waterstone website for the book 'Sky Masters' by Dale Brown.

Now I also did a video review on the book which can be viewed here. As I do not always get time to make the videos and so do the reviews I thought that it would be a good idea to start writing them and also doing video reviews once I get the time to do so.

Anyway so here is my review that I put on Waterstones:

This book really draws you into the story and at times you just cannot bare to put the book down due to the excitement and action in the story line being too much to want to wait until the next time you can read it again.
Dale Brown has used a lot of military terms which are effective in making you feel a lot closer to the action and these probably stem from his career in the US Air Force.
If however you do not know what the terms mean he has provided a very helpful glossary which can be found at the beginning of the book and explains everything.
The tension between China and the US has raised after China laid claim to a long contested island and because of this they decimated a Phillipine Oil Platform. The Phillipines responded by sending warships and the Chinese Navy launched a tactical nuclear weapon claiming it to be 'self defense'.
The US is forced to step in after recently pulling out of the Phillipine Island's and try to put the power of the Island's back into Phillipine control.
The book is also centered around Lieutenant Patrick McLanahan who has the chance to fly a new high-tech B2 bomber. You may recognise Patrick from other books by Dale Brown.

You can also view it on waterstones by clicking on here.

I have also decided to add another poll to see whether you like this new idea (basically it will mean me being able to write to my blog more often) or whether I should just keep up with the video reviews.

As well as that poll I shall be putting up another one about whether reviewing books on Waterstones is also a good idea or not.

I shall be getting a campaign going on my You Tube accounts for my blog shortly. Hopefully these will materialise in the next few weeks. I shall be posting those on here as well anyway.

Until next time.

4 days left to vote!

Yes that is right with only 4 days left to vote as to whether I should keep the blog or not you should hurry up and vote if not done so already! With only 3 votes so far (one of which is mine) it could mean I will have to redo the poll at a different point in time.

Coming soon...

Yes a coming soon, I am going to be doign a few short videos advertising my blog and also my email address. They will be posted in due course to my various channels, that is if You Tube will work and let me upload them.

Still having problems uploading my latest video for my AJB123644 channel but am going to contact You Tube and see what they think to it.

Have not yet started on my video for DOD Source but am going to do so tomorrow night. I do have the videos prepared so it should just be a case of putting it all together and tidying it all up before I upload to You Tube (with luck it will work) and Meta Cafe.

Coming Soon... (GuruAJB123644)

Well having just had a request put in by a viewer for guruajb123644 to make a Day Of Defeat Source video showing all of the weapons I thought that it would be a good idea to let you all know about my ideas for the video.

I am going to be doing it so I do US Army as one video and Nazis as another. It will then be split up with the guns being shown and then some footage of them in action!

Well stay tuned for those videos!
