Welcome!

Welcome, everyone, I am The Black Watcher. That does not refer to my skin colour, as I am in fact a white male from Scotland, but it does bare reference to my family army regiment 'The Black Watch'. As the word 'watcher' suggests, I am a fan of film and television...and video games e.t.c. This will be the foundation upon which my humble blog will be built, and that is reviews. I won't set any strict date for new reviews as the unpredictability of secondary education has somewhat crippled my ability of foresight beyond what I can currently repair, and as a result of this I can't really stick to any deadlines. Now, there are many things I cannot guarantee but here are some things that I can. I will not be biased (a media text is a media text, regardless of who made it) and I will not water down my opinions. For example, if I believe one film to be the complete embodiment of cinematic perfection, I'll tell you, and if I believe a film to be the epitome of my dread and sufffering in a motion picture format, I will also tell you. One other thing is that I will, as much as it pains me to say, watch films and play games that I would normally not even allow into my home for the benefit of my currently non existent fanbase. So whether you're just an innocent, internet dwelling member of the general public looking for something to read, or just a fan of media who is looking for a critic who may appeal to them, I will try my best to please you all.

2015 Update (Finally)

Wow. It's been a while.

I think it's time to let you all know what's happened since my last post here.

First things first is the fact that I'm no longer with the Big Glasgow Comic Page. I enjoyed most of my time there, met some genuinely awesome people and got a great opportunity to write about and learn about a culture that I've always had an interest in, but never had the chance to jump into. Best of luck to Ian and everybody else on the page with everything the future may bring.

Secondly, I'm now working for a website called GamerHeadlines...but truth be told, not much is happening there from me. I started a little while back and enjoyed writing for them, but as University has reared its ugly head back into my life, I've lost the time I had to go back to GH and really get some stuff written. Hopefully this'll change soon and I'll be back on track, but for now that's a bit inactive.

Thirdly, and most importantly, I've been making some moves on Twitch, and now have 2 regular series running :D I broadcast live initially and then export the broadcasts to YouTube so you can catch up on any that you miss. My regular series at the moment are my weekly horror series; Alien: Irrigation, and my less regular; Black Watch Wrasslin'.

Sorry that this has taken so long to finally get out here, but at least it is here now.

I'm back. Not in a huge way, but at least it's a start.

Do svidanya folks, bye bye.
