So i watched The Grand Tour

The Grand Tour - Episode 1


Bilderesultat for the grand tour

They are back! The shaved ape, the short one and the one with the girly hair are finally back! I guess most of you already know about the whole incident in 2015 that got Jeremy fired from BBC, unless you’ve been living under a rock of course. But for those hermits I can tell you that both May and Hammond didn’t want to continue Top Gear without the gorilla, and decided to leave BBC. The trio was offered a job by Amazon not long after the incident, and after almost one and a half year the day finally came for the premiere of The Grand Tour!

For starters the intro to the show is probably the best one I’ve ever seen! It has everything you would ever want! It has cars, it has bikes, it has crowds, it has airplanes and it even has a burning van. And the story the intro tells gives so many feelings, it did in fact bring a tear to my eye. To say it in other words, the intro really was grand! The joy of seeing them back together was just immense. Additionally they were all so refreshed and full of energy, bringing a number of witty jokes to the table.

In this first episode they are in the USA, and as you would expect there are lots of jokes based on that. And to be honest, those kinds of jokes never get old. The show goes along quite similar as the old Top Gear, but with some nice twists.

So how did the show feel? you might ask. Well put it this way: They are back with new producers, new studio, new test track, new cars, new challenges, new everything! The formula of the show is pretty similar to the old Top Gear, but it is different enough so that it feels like a new show. It also feels more natural than Top Gear, like three friends on an adventure, as is advertised in the trailer. It really felt like an amped up Top Gear. Basically everything is better, the same trio with new energy, better filming, funnier and more clever.

I don’t really know what more to say without spoiling too much, other than go watch it! It is probably my best TV experience this year, and I can’t recommend this enough. It doesn’t matter if you are a car enthusiast or not, either way it is funny and exciting.

A must watch show!

Gaming Dispatch - June #2

Bilde
Welcome to back to Gaming Dispatch, where I tell you about some of the most interesting stuff that has happened in gaming the past weeks (weeks), at least what I find interesting. This issue will unfortunately be a bit short as a result of not a lack of time to keep up with everything that has happened, but regardless here is what you can expect in the following article. E3 happened a couple of weeks ago where some games were shown, Steam summer sale kicked off with over 18 000 items on sale, and some great Starcraft tournaments happened! So without further ado, let’s get to it. In the aftermath of E3 we are left with some good, some bad, and definitely some cringe (not looking at you EA). The press conferences that I bothered to watch was EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Sony, and Devolver whatever that was. So let’s start with EA, or rather get that out of the way. Let me tell you this much… they had sports, and more sports, another shitty Need for Speed ...

Gaming Dispatch Resurgence - The last couple of months

Gaming Dispatch is finally back again, with a logo even. Today we shall take a look at some news that has been released over the last couple of months. Only the news that I find particularly interesting though as it would be impossible to look at everything that has been happening. So let's get to it! Starcraft Remastered was announced, which I am really looking forward to as Starcraft 2 has been one of my favorite games for several years now. The remastered of the classic from 1998 was announced back on the 26th of March this year and is to be released some time during this summer, they haven’t said anything more specific than that yet. It’s actually thanks to this announcement that I got back into Starcraft II after almost a two year break. During the same announcement they also stated that the original version will be patched to 1.18 and then be available for free for anyone to download and play, which it indeed has been, something which also made me try o...

ICEY review - you don't know Jack

Bilde
Introduction I have now played a not too old game for a change. A game I first heard about through The Co-optional Podcast, one that I got quite intrigued by when they described it. Totalbiscuit described the game as a result of mixing a brawler with The Stanley Parable , a great brawler at that. After I have played through the game and gotten all the achievements, I have to say that I absolutely agree with said description and that such a mix made for a rather enjoyable experience. About/developer ICEY is developed by the Chinese developer Shanghai FantaBlade Network Technology Co., Ltd. and published by X.D. Network inc. and was released 17th of November 2016 on steam. This means that it only got about three months old before I did a review for it, that’s a new record! ICEY is marketing itself to be a 2D-sidescrolling action game in addition to being a META game in disguise Intro/beginning The game sets off with a small cutscene of the character you will be playin...
