Post 28 - Collaboration

COLLABORATION LOCKE DOWNE & SARYNTHRAIt's been a long time coming but finally Sarynthra and I have partnered up to create a new gaming community site. At this moment I don't want to release too much info on the project because it's still under construction however, I do want you to know it's incredibly awesome and will be coming VERY soon. With this site we hope to partner up with Youtube in a way that gives the gaming community an amazing and...

Post 27 - Youtube Spotlight

YOUTUBE SPOTLIGHTXLOVENRAGEXXLoveNRageX is one of my favorite youtubers. To be honest, he's one of the few I actually still watch. There's something humbling about his videos that just make you just wanna sit and watch more. I absolutely love his collections. The games he finds are amazing and the prices he normally gets them at are just as impressive! If you're a gaming fan and you're not subscribed to him, go out there right now and subscribe. He deserves every single sub he gets.Another thing I wanted to mention while we're on the topic of youtube...

Post 26 - Getting back on track

GETTING BACK ON TRACKAlright so it's been a while since things have been on track, but it's about time I do what I can to get things moving. After my grandmother passed away a whole slue of events occurred and now I'm just trying to even everything out. If I keep my fingers crossed within the next week or so everything should be right back on track and moving along once again. I have my friends to thank for that. There's Mandy with her beating stick.So...

Post 25 - Phoenix Update

PHOENIX UPDATEI haven't really had the time to do one of this up. I was going to do one a week ago after the midnight premier of Iron Man 2. But at this point, I feel enough people have seen it to just have to say "It was great, go see it if you liked the first one"So on top of that, things have been pretty good. I had a really rough week with very little sleep and I've been feeling a bit draggy. I'm on my second day off and still don't really...

Post 24 - Marble Hornets

MARBLE HORNETS Alright, so if you know me and know me well, you will know that I am most definitely into horror videos (provided they're done right). After getting sent a link by Talcon to Marble Hornet's page on youtube, I fell in love with their little series. Now many people constantly debate: Is it real? Is it fake? - well to be honest, I think it's a game. That's right. A game, and that's exactly why I'm featuring it here today. J is name of guy who runs the channel. He posts Entries every so often and we watch them. Every little single...

Post 23 - Just Quick

JUST QUICK Hey, I just wanted to let you guys know that the blog is undergoing some minor construction and due to some of the recent events in my life I will have to delay further blog posts until Tuesday May 25th. Sorry for the inconvenience.- Locke Do...

Post 21 - Skate 3 Impressions

SKATE 3 IMPRESSIONS (Mini-Review)I hate to admit, but even though I loved the first skate game, I skipped over Skate 2. The walking controls were just awful and I felt like the series had not yet reached it's potential. However, with Skate 3 I think we're getting there. First off Skate's gameplay remains almost unchanged from the second entry. This time Darkslides have been added (which is something I was waiting for since the first game) and the...

Post 20 - What's been going on

WHAT'S BEEN GOING ONAlright, so first off let me apologize for the lack of posts more recently. As always life has been busy, with that said a lot has happened over the last few days. As I mentioned in a much earlier post, I've been trying to save up enough money to feel safe once I move out. My over-all goal is to have about 2000.00$ saved up, plus additional money for damage deposit, a large screen TV and so on. I'm proud to announce that thanks...

Post 19 - Four Chord Song

FOUR CHORD SONGSo Hybrid Phoenix found this video while surfing the web a couple days ago. It's actually a shame that this is true. For a lot of music fans out there, this is a sad sad day. lol j/k. It's actually a really cool video that shows: Music with originality is a GREAT thing. Also, make sure to check out the Marble hornets videos Featured as this week's video. I'm sure Hybrid Phoenix would agree on that one! lol. Also another thing I wanted...

Post - LockeTalks is changing

LOCKETALKS IS CHANGINGAlright, so for those of you who are subscribed to LockeTalks this is no surprise, but I decided that I wanted to change that channel around. The way I was going now, nothing was ever getting done on it because editing and stuff for that channel took almost just as long as my normal channel so I decided it was time for a change. Now LockeTalks will simply be daily Vlogs. So in other words, just me talking to a camera. So if...

Sick...

SICK... I know it's not much of a post, but I figured I'd let you guys know why I haven't posted so much recently. Like the title says... I'm a little sick. It's more of a head cold than anything (Thanks Braveworld) but none the less it's irritating. Anyways, at this point I'm at 96.63% finished Grand Theft Auto IV. I'm just wondering if you have to date all of the girlfriends to be able to get to 100%. Does anyone know? Well anyways, aside from...

Post 16 - This week

THIS WEEKThis week has been hell. I'm just about to finish a 9-day stretch at work. I'm so tired right now and this new hair-cut I got is really pissing me off! I find I look like Hitler's long lost brother. :( ...but on the bright side, I can finally start wearing hats! Yeah, before my hair cut would never allow me to but now I can. So there you have it. For the most part that's everything that's made up my week so far. I apologize for not posting...

Post 15 - Youtube problems

YOUTUBE PROBLEMS Hey guys, sorry but this just another short post. I've been having some issues uploading videos to youtube in the past few days and so has Braveworld and a couple other of my friends. We're hoping that whatever's going on will be dealt with soon, but either way I'm going to try and get up my four part Questions and Answers video today! I'm going to try re-saving it as my old format rather than the new formats I've been using and...

Post 14 - Top Ten Fav Video Game Characters

TOP TEN FAVORITE VIDEO GAME CHARACTERSI find it really hard to pinpoint favorites. I have such a hard time picking favorite games and characters because there's so much I know I haven't gotten a chance to play, and characters that I need to experience..but let's start things off anyways.I don't think they'll be in any real order.1) Batman (Arkham Asylum)I know, I know, he's not REALLY a video game character, but I had way too much fun kicking ass...

Post 14 - Which game should I get in May?

WHICH GAME SHOULD I GET IN MAY?Alright guys so pretty simple post here. Which game do you think I should get this month, if any? You see, I kind of narrowed down three I'm very interested in and considering I can't really spend that much right now, I can only afford one. So I want your guy's opinion!First off we have Red Dead Redemption which is created by the same team as GTA IV. Now I haven't played a wild west game in decades and this could be...

Post 13 - Challenging Myself

CHALLENGING MYSELFWell it seems like almost every two or three months I always start challenging myself again. More recently I told myself I was going to Platinum Grand Theft Auto IV and well, I'm REALLY close. Just as of lately, I told myself that I wanted to get into shape, and when I say get into shape I mean like Cloud's sort of build from Advent Children kind of shape! Being a gamer, the out doors is something I normally only see when I'm hanging...

Post 12 - Two Quick Things

TWO QUICK THINGS Alright, so first off I'm REALLY excited about Fallout: New Vegas. I must admit, when it was first announced I was skeptical but now I can't WAIT!!! It just looks so amazing! There's all sorts of websites on Google that actually have screens of the game now so make sure to go check them out and if anything new gets released let me know! Secondly, I just found out how to get out of the demo area in Skate 3! So go check it out! It's...

Post 11 - Fallout New Vegas News

FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS NEWSAlright, so like all of you already know, I'm a friggin' HUGE Fallout 3 fan. To me Fallout 3 is the equivalent if not even better than Oblivion, and for me, that's saying a lot! Normally a game of Bethesda's quality ends up taking years if not a decade to design and complete. However thanks to the amazing developers over at Obsideon we won't have to wait ten years to get our next taste of Fallout. Due to release this fall is...

Post 8 - Update Video (April 2010)

UPDATE VIDEO (APRIL 2010)Alright guys, so after not posting for two weeks I managed to at least get one video out. It's not much, mainly just a small update. After watching it though, I felt like there's a lot I left out. A couple other things I've been up to include: Playing God of War 3, Drawing again (Yes!), Playing a CRAP LOAD of guitar, watching a lot of movies and trying to spend time with friends.As mentioned in the video, yes I'm still looking...

Post 7 - Ballad of Gay Tony (PS3) Impressions

BALLAD OF GAY TONY (PS3) IMPRESSIONS(The Lost and the Damned Impressions coming soon)Locke Downe:Grand Theft Auto is one of my all time favorite franchises. It's funny, it's fast-paced, it's difficult at times and easy to jump into and just have fun, but most of all, it's liberating. GTA is always one of those games that just makes you feel free and with what Grand Theft Auto IV managed to do, The Ballad of Gay Tony takes further. More cars, more...

Post 6 - Marvel VS. Capcom 3

MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 3After many years of waiting, fighting fans of the classing Marvel VS. Capcom franchise can rejoice at the announcement of a third title in the franchise. Up to know only six characters have been announced included Ryu (Capcom), The Hulk (Marvel), Ironman (Marvel), and new to the roster Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5. Just to name a few.I myself have never really been a hard-core fan of the fighting franchise, however I really...

Post 5 - Sherlock Holmes (2009) Review

SHERLOCK HOLMES REVIEW (2009)Movies now at days always have high expectations. If look back in the past year or so we'll see some phenomenal additions to the over-all movie library that will soon go down in legend amongst the best of them. Star Trek, X-men Origins: Wolverine and Avatar just to name a few, but the main question here is: Will Sherlock Holmes be one of these movies? Let's indulge.First off the movie stars Robert Downey Jr. (Sherlock...
