The first blog of 2012 and I couldn't begin without wishing you all a happy new year! Hope you all had a great evening (no doubt it was an anti-climax) - I thought it was about time I went down to Westminster to see Big Ben in person and it wasn't actually that busy?? Sure, we couldn't get any closer than Trafalgar Square, and all we saw of the fireworks were a few sparks coming from behind a building, but it's done. Ticked off the list.
Over the Christmas break I had the opportunity to do some amazing stuff. The day itself saw lovely time spent with Fay's family, then boxing day we returned to my parent's, where my 13yr old brother thought it best to celebrate Christmas by asking Santa to get onesie's for my other brothers and I. One was a tiger, the other a devil, me...a monkey :( Still, at least mine had a tail (I'm aware that's the worst bonus ever). The days that followed saw Christmas tea at The Ritz, and Winter Wonderland's ferris wheel for dessert - went round 4 times, wasn't expecting that. Almost had to be guerneyed off due to nausea. Saw the Royal Ballet's 'The Nutcracker' at the Opera House too which was a great experience. But, a bit mental.
And so, back to TV land and the New Year has graced the world with more Planet of the Apps - we've just got the brand new PS Vita in so watch this space for some new features, coming soon! Writing up some new pitch's for Indies at the moment which'll hopefully welcome some interest, Masterchart is also tightening up with tighter links and snappier content which should look tops, and the piece de resistance is Adam Savage working as the lead (?) in a short film this coming February! Filming begins in a few weeks but I'll have plenty more to tell in my next update. Online; submissions have begun on theescapistmagazine.com and I've created a new review concept called 'Level One' in which I play the first few mins of new games, commentating frankly. The first instalment will be uploaded soon and I'll drop the links in due process.
POTA continues to expand globally for now which I'm thrilled about - I've attached a pic which a mate of mine in New Zealand sent to me recently. He was simply eating breakfast watching telly, and then look whose mug curdled his milk! Ha. Continue to check out ginx.tv for the show or follow me via twitter @imadamsavage. In the meantime, here's a sampler of POTA via youtube from December so take a peek and ill see you soon! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALNgcjhD1fM
