    Good day everyone! I recently had another opportunity to work with Tostadora. Tostadora is a website where you get either your own or someone else's geeky design printed onto a wide range of products, included, tote bags, t-shirts, hoodies and phone cases. Even children's clothes! I had the chance to browse through their thousands of user and designer made designer to put onto a t-shirt. You can even choose the colour! Plus until the 11th of August 2015 you can get 10% off using the code 'Cinema2015'

    Dex T-Shirt



    I chose this shirt. It is called 'Dex T-Shirt' and is a crossover between Dexter, my favourite TV show which I have just finished, and the classic shark film: Jaws. It features 'Dex' written in the style of the Jaws logo about Dexter's famous boat 'Slice of life' the boat is floating above what appears at first to be a shark but is actually a pile of black bags which references the show where Dexter dumps his victims into the water in a bag,

    The shirt is perfect for me. It mashes together my favourite show and a classic film. The quality of the shirt is once again up the scratch And washes very well. I do thoroughly recommend this shirt to anyone interested in Dexter whether or not you like Jaws too as most people will still get the reference!

    Tostadora have a wide range of design ranging from Star Wars to Game of Thrones and much more, I really do recommend their shirts due to their high quality and the low price of them too. I do indeed plan to buy more because I saw loads more designs that I liked.

    Remember to usethe code 'Cinema2015' for 10% off your purchase! Let me know what shirt you get!

    Good day everyone! I recently had the opportunity to work with Tostadora. Tostadora is a website where you get either your own or someone else's geeky design printed onto a wide range of products, included, tote bags, t-shirts, hoodies and phone cases. Even children's clothes! I had the chance to browse through their thousands of user and designer made designer to put onto a t-shirt. You can even choose the colour!

    Link's Purest Blue Stuff


    I chose this shirt. It is called 'Link's Purest Stuff' and is a crossover between The Legend of Zelda and Breaking Bad. It features Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on the 2nd and 3rd positions on a podium respectively with Link standing at 1st places. Link is holding up a blue rupee and looks extremely happy with himself whilst Walter and Jesse looking at him completely heartbroken because of their jealousy towards his ultra-blue rupee which is more pure than their Blue Crystal.

    The shirt is amazing, just look at it! Not only is the design great but the quality of the shirt a good aswell. Usually with geeky shirts the creators spend all of the money on the design but cheap out on a really crappy and uncomfortable shirt. But Tostadora's shirts are incredibly soft and comfortable. Really high quality which you can tell as soon as you put it on, I've only had a couple of week but I've already worn in more than I should. (Cleaning it as well of course).

    Tostadora have a wide range of design ranging from Star Wars to Game of Thrones and much more, I really do recommend their shirts due to their high quality and the low price of them too. I do indeed plan to buy more because I saw loads more designs that I liked.

    This post may not appeal to everyone on my blog but I would like to tell you guys about what 5 cards are the best a most important in my deck. I play a Red/Green deck which primarily consists of Centaurs as its creatures. Hope you guys enjoy and let me know what your favourite cards are!

    5. Undergrowth Scavenger


    I play most of my games at Sixth Form with my friends where we usually play alot of 4 player, all v all games which is why this card is in my deck. Undergrowth Scavenger is a 0/0 that enters the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the number of creatures in all graveyards. This card plays perfectly in a games with tons of blood shed and death but in a 1v1 can be completely useless or just weak.

    4. Xenagos, the Reveler


    Xenagos is not very high up is my list due to its relatively weak abilities. It's +1 gives you a combination of red/green mana equal to the number of creatures you control which isn't terribly useful to me as I has a few Market Festival cards in my deck which add 2 green mana to one of my lands. It's 0 gives a 2/2 Satyr Token which could be quite useful depending on when it is used and its ultimate (-6) allows you to draw seven cards from your library and places all creatures and lands straight onto the battle field. This is quite helpful for me as my deck contains some reasonably large creatures. The ultimate is quite costly though as Xenagos' starting devotion is only 3.

    3.Whims of the Fates


    If you ever play Magic against me then you will come to realise that I like to f*** s*** up. Even if I know I could end up worse of than before I will still play that card. Whims of the Fates is one of those cards. When played each player must separate all of their permanents into 3 piles (which can be empty) and roll a dice to randomly sacrifice that whole pile. This has the potential to give you a huge advantage if you can keep most of your cards and your opponents don't or it could mean game over for you bu losing all of your cards. I'm known for always putting my permanents into the same pile so I have a 67% chance of keeping all of my cards but a 33% chance of losing them all. Totally worth the risk.

    2. Heroes' Bane


    Heroes' Bane is a 0/0 Hydra that enter the battle field with 4 +1/+1 counters on it. You can pay 4 mana to pull a further amount of +1/+1 counters on it equal to that creature's power. This is essentially double the power and toughness of your creature every time you pay the 4 mana. The biggest I've managed to get Heroes' Bane in a game is into a 128/128. I also had this equipped with Fleetfeather Sandals which gives it flying so it became almost unstoppable and won me the game.

    1.Pheres-Band Warchief


    This card wouldn't be considered 'amazing' in general but it is essential in my deck. The creatures in my deck are predominantly Centaurs so because Pheres-Band Warchief gives all other Centaurs +1/+1, vigilance and trample this makes my deck so much stronger. Especially when I have a few of this card out at any one time. The only downside to this card is that it doesn't gives the other centaurs this +1/+1 in counters so when it dies the other centaurs don't keep their +1/+1. Without this card my deck would be considerably weaker.

    Thankyou for reading, let me know what you favourite MTG cards are!

    Originally The Triforce Was Supposed To Be Made Of Microchips.

    Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of The Legend Of Zelda, was supposed to follow a completely different storyline. The story-line was supposed to take place in both present-day Hyrule and the future. Instead of collecting pieces of the Triforce you would be collecting little microchips to form the symbol. You can also see remains of this idea by the actual name of Link. He was meant to form the 'Link' between the present and the future.

    It Took 3 Years For Developers To Design The Chest Opening Animation.

    There are many iconic visuals to many games out there and one of them is the opening of a chest in Ocarina Of Time. They wanted the animation to look as realistic as possible so they originally decided to use motion capture to figure out the issue. When Miyamoto arrived to the office one day he found that the other developers had already decided to use an animation of Link kicking the hinge of the chest as this made the process of opening the chest look more realistic.

    The Game Is Called 'The Hyrule Fantasy"  In Japan.

    This may not seem like much of a fact as most games have different titles in different countries but this name would make much more sense in every country that it is released. It would 'hopefully' eliminate the whole confusion based around the name of the main protagonist. His name has been and always will be Link, not Zelda. But due to the name of the game being 'The Legend Of Zelda' nearly everywhere else in the world this allows for more and more confusion about the character's name. But oh well, Zelda for life!

    You may have noticed in the past few months that my obsession for Pop! Vinyl has been gradually getting bigger and bigger! So big that I have been searching around the inter-webs for items involving Pops such as giveaways and collection. This is where, though a giveaway, I came across Pop In A Box.


    Pop In A Box is a monthly subscription where you will be sent 1 Pop! Vinyl every month until you you decide to cancel your subscription. Every month, if you have subscribed, you will have the chance to win extra items in your box such as extra Pops and gadgets. For example: This month (March) you could also win the entire set of X-Men Classic Pops and a Nexus 7! You also get a few bits of candy every month too!

    Now, onto my Pop! I got Thunder from 'Big Trouble in Little China' who is number 155 in the Movies set. He looks amazing and has quite a fantastic hat too! The Pop! was very well and securely packed and has no scuffs or damages whatsoever. IT is defiantly worth buying these Pops because the more you buy the more you will save! I also got a wee piece of Tango popping candy (which was delicious).

    To make Pop In The Box even more appealing they give you the opportunity to add what Pop! Vinyl you already have to your collection page so you will never receive any duplicate Pops (Unless you want to that is). But that's not all! There is even a system to down-vote Pops that you don't like so you will never receive something that you don't like. If their super-computers fail to find a Pop that you both want and don't have then you will not receive that monthly Pop and they will also not charge you, how awesome is that?!

    There is also a shop on the Website where you can buy individual Pops, some of which are exclusive and rare. You can even buy a set of 3 random Pops that have had their boxes damaged for a reduced price of £21 for the set which is perfect if you don't care about the box and just want the out-of-box figure.

    When they were first established in 2008 Brainwavs had a single goal: To bring real earphones to real users at realistic prices. Nowadays they have expanded not only to earphones but headphones, a new accessories line and the addition of inline controls for the booming smartphone market, this is all according to their website. In the future the company aim to expand to offering more products from new designers. This I am quite excited for to see what they can bring to the market!


    I will be reviewing the over-the-top Brainwavs S1 earphones. As the name suggests they are designed not to hang down from under the ear like conventional earphones but to hang over the top of your ear and down. Now I think this is a major advantage to regular under-ear earphones. Over-the-top earphones offer much more stability near the ear, they are less likely to move around due to the increased amount of contact with the ear that they have. Add this to the fact that the wiring of the earphones boasts a ribbon-like design which allows more contact with the ear than regular wiring and if you are a Physicist then you should know that the more surface area of 2 surfaces contacting each other then the higher the amount of friction between the 2. This is why the S1 earphones barely move around the ear hole, making these perfect for the athletic audiophile. Another good point to point out is the thickness and bulky build of the material around the audio plug. This prevents the wire from fraying around where the earphones are plugged into your phone which can happen alot when this thick material is not present, especially if you use them for running alot as the wiring will be more strained than usual.

    All Included In The Box
    You may have noticed that I haven't talked about the actual comfort of the ear bud in the ear yet. That is because the Brainwavs come with an astonishing 9 set of ear buds! That's 1 foam, 1 Bi-flange, 1 Tri-flange and 6 Silicone Tips (Small, Medium and Large) so if you're not going to find a set that is comfortable for you then I don't think you ever will. My personal favourite are the Comply foam S-series tips as these will mould and fit to your ear and then return to their original shape again when removed. The set also comes with an Air-plane travel adapter (so you no longer have to buy their ridiculously over-priced ones) and a hard casing, nicely sized carrying case complete with pockets to hold all or some of your tips as you may want to use different tips in different situations.

    I can't believe I have made it this far through the review without talking about the sound quality of the earphones! These earphones are perfect for music that has lots of bass, it enhances the sound very well. I have been listening to alot of music with these of all genres over the past few days and I have not been disappointed at all. Very sharp sounds and very clear vocals make for a fantastic audio-experience, You can buy this product from Amazon right now for about $54.50 (£37) which I believe to be good value based on what's included with the earphones. You get the 9 sets of tips, a great quality carrying case and an adapter for air-planes so you can use these on your travels.

    To conclude I must recommend these earphones to my readers, especially if you are a music fanatic. The earphones provide outstanding audio quality no matter what type of music you are into. I couldn't be happier with the product that I received and I may look into purchasing some more of their products. Only time will tell but the earphones seem to be extremely durable due to the design of the wiring and the plug so other products should be just as reliable as the S1 Earphones. The earphones are only £37 with is quite cheap considering the amount of accessories included in the product. Just have a think about it!
