Razz Time: The Last Of Us


Downtown

Stand by for a fair bit of drooling and sickly praise because of having played The Last Of Us since its release, I am to add to the already bulging interwebs sack of praise. Honestly, Santa's sacks won't have anything on this one (ooer!) Ive even made a couple of videos for you dear readers, in the hope that you might hear some of the excitement in my voice. (Sorry about the quality, I still record vids the caveman way from television to phone.)

God Help Us

Hahahahaaaaaa !

God Help Us is something mortals always utter in times of grave danger but why should He/She? Serious question. Human beings are a selfish, greedy war obsessed race with a vanity unparalleled (word first used in 1594) by any other living thing. The average person will head to their grave satisfied as long as they and closest kin are happy, little thought spared for others so why should any Divine help be deserving?
The clever sculpt bombs, the wisest make excuses while the rest of us barge through life hunting anything weaker in order to wear or stuff into tins to eat at a later date. Blood? We are very good at spilling it, not to mention deceive and cheat it so answer me; why on earth would God throw us a line? Its all very well calling the devil the 'Great Deceiver' but look closer into the mirror to see how we can know that; the trickster knows its own! We recognise the devil because (and this will sting a bit) we ARE the devil, and hoist our bony pennons with unabashed shame.
And all the penicillin and pennies for the charity bucket will not buy us an hour of salvation. We are so puny that any alien will see through the lies and any god will see us naked.

The supreme arrogance of Mankind never fails to amuse me.

E3 2013: Playstation 4

Playstation4

After the dust settles on the heels of the much anticipated Playstation4 reveal last night at E3, its time to do as a million other websites/blogs are doing and chuck out some initial thoughts on Sony's new beast. I'll be honest, im not entirely thrilled by the design of PS4 but then XboxOne is none too pretty either, both reminding me of 1980s VCR players. Still, I buy games consoles for how they look on my television and not under it so I ain't going to be spitting my cider drenched dummy out.
Where it counts, Sony (in my opinion) nuked Microsoft clean out of the waters; no restrictions on game ownership (lend or sale), no 'must be hooked to the internet 24/7' guff in order to play or authenticate games and best of all Playstation4 will be £350 compared to the XboxOne's £429. Oh and PS4 will not have a creepy camera watching you all hours and there will be no online fees (unless you sign up for Playstation+.) More exclusive games for Sony's box of tricks too. Bonus!
In short Sony just finished Microsoft with a lethal fatality move.

Playstation press conference



But its really all about the GAMES and believe you me, there are quite a few impressive lookers vying for your cash. Ready at Dawn (they made God of War: Ghost of Sparta among others) has announced a new game, The Order 1886, which is a Victorian era steampunk horror (see trailer below.) Looks interesting, as does inFAMOUS Second Son from SuckerPunch. But the three that gave me the biggest horn were The Division, Assassin's Creed:Black Flag and racing game The Crew where the ENTIRE USA is your playground. You can supposedly drive from New York to Los Angeles, which is batsh!t awesome!
You can check all the trailers below.

Juice Of The (Psycho) Gods

The doctor will see you now

See that handsome chap up there? His name is Dr Burnorium and I do believe that his "Hot Sauce Emporium", filled with deliciously hot sauces, might just have a shot at taking over the world. A place where wing sauce pours from taps, fiery snacks grow on trees and the sountrack is heavy metal (think Willy Wonka's factory only cooler but in a hot kind of way.) Accuse me of going OTT all you want but mock not lest ye try it, if you love hot sauce, you're gonna REALLY love Psycho Juice!

Red Savina

Dr Burnorium has quite a few to choose from too; first bottle I had was his Psycho Juice 70% Ghost Pepper which hit the spot, strong in flavour and heat. One thing the good doctor does well is keeping a good balance between heat and flavour. Ive tried many hot sauces and quite a few makers are guilty of sacrificing flavour for heat (in some instances they drown the flavour completely which is pointless in my opinion.) What on earth is the point of having a plate of delicious chicken wings if your gob is too numb to appreciate them?
Psycho Juice doesn't go down this route, and so far every sauce ive tried (4 and counting) from the range gets the balance smack banged to rights. It tastes amazing, takes every meal up a notch while still bringing plenty of heat to the table. And not wanting to go all Jaime Oliver on you, its all so versatile and can be used on everything from plain old beans on toast (hint: Red Savina does them up a treat) to salads and pasta dishes. (I smashed the Habanero Psycho Juice on my pasta earlier and it was all kinds of mighty f**king aces.)

Ghost Pepper Mustard

It has become more regular on my table than HP sauce and I kid thee not. I'm using Dr Burnorium's elixir of Greatness on virtually every meal (my melted organs can forgive me in the next life) and as a bonus he's a good chap to follow on Twitter too (@DrBurnorium.) Funny. Honest. Tells it like it is. But anyway enough ass kissing, there is a plate of chicken wings over there just begging to be smothered in Psycho Juice: Ghost Mustard (Goddamn this is a fine 10/10 sauce.)
So if you are happen to be a fan of hot sauces, and even if you're not, head on over to www.hotsauceemporium.co.uk and fill your basket with burny delicious treats. You will thank me later I promise you.
