'Howdy' is what the Americans say, mainly whilst on horseback or chewing straw, but it's something I picked up whilst recently IN LA FOR E3 2012!! Ginx TV requested I head over to Tinseltown and report all the latest from the video gaming world alongside recording a very special episode of Planet of the Apps - 8days of Assassins Creed 3, COD: Black Ops 2, the Wii U, tons and tons more plus the Californian weather made it one of 2012s greatest highlights for me thus far. Even had the chance to present my first Hollywood red carpet event whilst I was there, at the premiere of 'noobz' with Jason Mewes, boom.
Speaking of celebrity; had a very funny moment in post production upon my return as it turns out John Heder aka Napoleon Dynamite was absolutely loving the Savmeisters groove on the Wii U's Just Dance 3 - he was stood right behind me during my '360 gunslinging rodeo slide' (self-coined) obviously taking notes on how to be awesome, and no one was the wiser! Dont believe me?! Here's a mini pic to prove it...
Planet of the Apps is viewable in 21 countries around the world now and in Serbia we have quite the following, so upon our return from the US, the team and I travelled to Belgrade for our POTA: Summer Holiday episode which was simply glorious! Cheap as chips and a very pretty city, I did my very best to get noticed by the 9 people who might know me out there by wearing a shirt which looks like it was salvaged from the set of Saved by the Bell. I can confirm that Mark Paul Grosselar is neither dead or has been abducted by aliens ;) A superb trip and great to meet with the SBB Network in between ice-creams.
Aside from a cracking suntan and enough over-sized sodas to give me a hernia, I've been busy working on POTA, filming the Masterchart alongside other Ginx projects and working with Disney. Caught the Tour de France final in Paris, been completely captivated by the Olympics and how incredibly well Team GBR are doing!
Onwards and upwards as Gamescom in Cologne, Germany is right around the corner and I must begin my compulsory 'digestive system training' for all the bratwurst and pretzels soon to be hurled into my mouth. I can't wait.
Follow me on twitter @imadamsavage or get in touch via plaps@ginx.tv - for all my interviews from E3 and the latest game reviews, head to the Ginx TV YouTube channel, or if you've lost the use of your hands from all the Olympic renactments you've been simulating in the back garden, just use your chin or something and tap these links for a look at Alien: Colonnial Marines - http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sRfJPVQbP2s or Epic Mickey 2 - http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3k6AQqzsTVY for starters.
Right, I've got places to be and some frankfurters to scoff. Auf Wierdersehn...
