Hello Old Friend; I've Missed You

-sniff sniff- Oh my freaking god, its been ages guys. It's like tears of joy running over, so much and so little has happened all at the same time. Eminem released the Marshall Mathers LP 2 single-handedly saving Rap music, Miley Cyrus is still relevant, Beyonce dropped a new album in secret, Brian from family guy got killed off and brought back, Tessanne Chin won The Voice, Paul Walker the actor died, etc, etc, etc. Its been quite the last 2-3 months without my beloved PC i must say. We lay to rest the beloved and faithful Xenos 3.0 as we move on to bigger and better builds. As with all things in life where there is death there is also life; count yourself lucky to bear witness to the rise of Dark Xenos.

This is my PC; there might be many like it but this one is special because it is mine. This build has been 2 years in the making and I am happy that I could finally make it a reality. Fully complete and operational  comprising of 2 years of Black Friday shopping and saving. Feel free to checkout the un-boxing videos uploaded to our YouTube channel to see the full breakdown of everything from last year and this year.

In other news I am also entering a contest to try and win an Xbox One for my Christmas/B-Day present courtesy of Pizza Hut Jamaica. For those that don't know my actual birthday is on the 18th of December so this would really be a great way for me to round out 2013 with a bang. If I manage to win this it could mean good exposure for my blog not to mention also provide me with an additional console on which I can review games for the blog. So i'm begging and a pleading for your help to win this contest. All I need you to do is visit this link (https://apps.agorapulse.com/go/6397/16876/542965) preferably on a PC and like the Pizza Hut Jamaica page and then vote for my picture. Once you like their page the page should refresh or you can refresh it yourself and my picture should show up and then you can click the vote button. Thanks a lot for your help and support in advance. Here's hoping I win.

In closing I am working hard to get the blog back up and running and jump back into my video game reviews and gameplays with commentary. Since I now have a working computer again I plan on closing out the year as always with the top ten games list we normally do. On top of that I also have the yearly blog redesign to get cracking on as well to ring in the New Year right. I also will start streaming more often on our twitch.tv channel so we can have more interactivity and feedback from the people that grace my various social media outlets. I am aiming to do a weekly stream on Saturday's but also I will stream randomly during the week if I have the time. Primarily this will be maybe when I do my game reviews so you will get to further share in the experience. I think that sums up everything of importance to do with our blog so stay tuned for all that to close out the year and start 2014 with a bang. Did a few test streams so far so feel free to go follow my twitch channel and check out the video archives if you like. As always this is your friendly neighborhood gamer Zalgo_Cometh signing off and as always; keep on gaming...

Tis The Season

Well surprise, surprise, its Friday but there is no video game review this week. *le gasp*. In all seriousness though this week was a major week for me as those of you who are subscribed to our YouTube channel, Twitter page or Facebook page would know. Our Black Friday shipment came in and it was a good week messing around and getting accustomed to all the new tech. Things have since returned to normal here and we will resume reviews next week; hoping to do maybe one more or two more reviews at most to close out the year before we start prepping for the top ten games of the year list. With all that being said feel free to go check out our playlist for unboxing all the gear that came and share in the joy with me. Tis the Christmas season and there is no cure for the most wonderful time of the year; all the merriment wonder and goodwill towards mankind. ^_^

With that out of the way we can get to the meat of the matter. I am happy, I am a gamer, when this gamer is happy and able to he likes to give away gaming related things. So seeing as how its the season of giving aka Christmas I thought it would be nice to have a giveaway. However since its Christmas we got to do it up big so ill be giving away multiple items this time around all at once. In the words of Damien Sandow; "You're Welcome".

So yeah that's the basic gist of things, wont keep you much longer. So spread the word and tell all your gamer friends or relatives. Hell you could even win it and gift it to them for Christmas, oh before I forget slight disclaimer as some people have been known to have issues with the codes in regards to location or credit card information we take no responsibility if you experience such an issue. Like I said it may or may not happen but I had to at least say it; in any case at the end of the day its a free gift so you still have nothing to lose either way so what are you waiting on. Come like our Facebook page and send me a message to join the festivities. Here's some music to get you in the holiday spirit...

Oh and special shoutouts to https://www.facebook.com/Yardie876Gamers?fref=ts for supplying us with the PS+ subscription trial codes that we are giving away.

The Land Of the Free (Part 4)

Gameplay - ?/10

Storyline - ?/10

Graphics - 5/10

Game Score : 5/30

Here we are guys, closing out the month of free games. Its been one hell of a ride and we got to end on a high note, so i'm going to switch things up a bit. This will be more of a recommendation than a review because as a game it doesn't get much more free than this. We are taking it back old school with this one and going back to the days of flash based browser games for one and all. I present to you Happy Wheels...

So yeah not much else to say about the game after watching that besides to tell you to try it out, its free after all. Couldn't exactly review this game since theres just so much muchness in it. It doesn't meet the criteria of a typical game to be judged on as far as having a set story-line or game mechanic. With that being said I want to thank you for sticking with us here on In The Mind Of My Mind and hope you enjoyed our month of free games to try out and our giveaways. So going back to that high note point I was alluding to earlier at the beginning of the post to end the month of free games I will be giving away a highly desired game title as a show of thanks for all your support and love of video games. Games deserve to be in the hands of you the people to be played so here is my gift to you. "You're Welcome"

Just A Little Personal Update

Much love and shoutouts to all my faithful people out there that comment, read, or share any and all things associated with this blog. Anyone who has negativity to bring my way, ummmm gimme a sec while I think about that...

Anywhore;

welcome to another random Monday blog, gonna keep things short and sweet today. No specific topic to rant on today because i'm going to be highlighting three main things regarding my IRL (in-real-life) existence.

First up is this little thing of beauty called my first ever fighting game tournament, granted i'm probably going to go and get my ass kicked but the experience will be worth it. So if you are a gamer or into fighting games be sure to come out and show your support even if you don't plan on entering. If you want to have fun and try your luck the tournament entrance fee is $1000 JMD, it will be held at the famous QUAD night club located at 20 - 22 Trinidad Terrace, New Kingston Kingston, Jamaica. Spectators are allowed for free, tournament participants will have to pay. Drinks should be on sale at the bar and music and good times are sure to be had. The fun starts at 3:00PM.

Next up is me recommending you go check out the above YouTube channel. Its a new concept of sorts being provided from the brilliant minds over at YOMYOMF Network. I highly recommend the Internet Icon series that just finished airing as it really is quality entertainment. Launched in June 2012, the YOMYOMF Network is based on the pop culture blog, "You Offend Me, You Offend My Family" founded by Justin Lin, director of THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS franchise and BETTER LUCK TOMORROW. In addition to Lin, the network's partners include Ryan Higa, YouTube star with second-most subscribed YouTube channel of all time; Kevin Wu, YouTube star with tenth-most subscribed channel of all time; and YouTube personality and musician, Chester See. Programming will include both scripted and reality series. The channel intends to bring together creative and interesting individuals to share their points-of-view.

August is the month of free shit here on our blog because gaming takes priority. So far we gave away a copy of From Dust and we will be reviewing only free games accessible to everyone for the month of August. So now we will be having another game related giveaway for this week, I have a 75% discount coupon for purchasing Portal 2 on Steam valid August 16th, 2012 through August 30th, 2012. So this Friday I will be having a drawing to give it away to anyone who is interested in picking up a copy of Portal 2 on Steam at a super low price. Well that brings the blog post to a close, if you want to be entered into the giveaway contest all you have to do is like our Facebook page and send me a message via any of our social media outlets saying you have liked the page and want to be in the contest (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Youtube).
