This blogs about one of the bands i'm really getting into.
It's called 'Alestorm' and has a pretty rare and original genre. 'Pirate metal'.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=B7sHLjI1sQE This is one of their songs, not a live video or proper music video, album cover and music. But it's worth listening too.
They are all very talented. I'm a drummer, and i was astonished at how well this guy drums. I mean, i'm into my heavy music, and i've heard some pretty amazing drummers, and i was amazed at how well this guy could drum.
Singer is a vocal god tbh. Sounds like a pirate And plays a keyboard guitar! Awesome?!
The guitarist is awesome as is the bassist <3.
Just wanted to spread the word of them and their awesomness.

CounterStrike
Yeah, i didn't know what to blog about. So i thought i'd write one on Cs.CZ.
It's a prettier version of 1.6 with less constant headshots and the guns don't look like a five year old made em. This game is becoming increasingly popular for the people who can't run Cs Source but want something that looks a bit less crap than 1.6.
Cz is the answer. With the nonstop online play, CZ also offers a better offline mode. You can create your own multiplayer, instead of playing with real people, you can play with bots. I understand it was hard to get bots onto the 1.6 offline multiplayer. This is great for practice, as when you go on a server and dont get more than two kills in two rounds, yu are instantly a n00b to everyone on.
I'm a moderatly good player, used to be terrible, but practice and training soon sorted that out. I'm now in an Clan called No Talent. Excuse the name, we ain't half bad at the game. I wasn't the one who invented the name, in fact i joined probably a few years after the clan sprung into existance. I was enticed by the name at first, as i thought i might be accepted for my less than 'l33t' skills. After a few games on their server and a laugh on the forums, i realised these guys weren't as bad as they passed themselves off to be. Everyone in NT are fun, friendly, supportive and pretty good at the game.
Unfortunatly when i joined they were in a bit of a down time, the Clan Leader Boomy, as i understand it had to leave due to work. And the clan was in an unsure stage of its survival. I'd like to think that i helped in the bringing it back on its feet. But who knows ? :P
The link to the clan site is www.ntclan.org.uk . You can tell were awesome, we have a .org site! :D
Anyways, i'd like to recommend the game Cs.CZ, only a fiver on steam [Program you have to DL to play Valve games such as Cs or Halflife.]. or you could buy the counterstrike anthology. Its only a tenner i think. It includes counter strike 1.6, Cs.Cz, counter strike condition zer deleted scenes, [a kind of story mode for Cs.Cz] and Day of defeat. As well as a dedicated server, though i never worked out what it is or how to use it =D
Anyways. Must head, wrote enough gibberish about Cs.Cz =]

First Blog
Hey all, my first blog :D Hope theres going to be more but.
My blogs mainly going to be about music,gaming and obviously a bit of funny stuff as well =]
i'm into playing online games Such as CounterStrike-ConditionZero, Warrock (Free and fun) Day of Defeat and recently Trackmania. I also play a lot of stratagy games, AOE would be a favourite, alongside Command and Conquer and the Total War set.
Of course my life isn't based around gaming like a few people. I play in a band called Exit wound, i'm the drummer. :D The name doesn't sound friendly, but unless you anger our bassist, were an all round fun crowd of people =D
As for funny stuff...hmm...
I'll post a couple of youtube links to a couple of vids for now..
