Mr. Allen's Blog

Hello hello, how have you been? I had hoped to get back in the swing of things content-wise in November but no luck and now that we are smackdab in the middle of the holidays I thought it would be best to use this time that I've got to pop in and suggest that you and I should pick up where we left off in the new year. Either in the first week or second week of January. It's been a super busy year for me, which is why there hasn't been a lot of content and for that I'm sorry. If you go back to my first post of the year you can tell how hyped I was for 2024, it looked like it would be a year where I could make up for the crappy 2023 that we had here. But around February and March things got hectic and I had to focus most of my time and energy into the work that I do with my dad and my brother.  At least next year I'll be better prepared to try and fit in time for the content work in between the regular work. Plus, as far as the internet goes, we're ending 2024 wit...

Hey, how have you been? Good I hope, because it has not been super fun over here since my last post. We've been experiencing back to back extended "loadshedding" power cuts for a few weeks now, that's why I have not posted anything since the WWE 2K16 Universe Mode episodes . Usually it's either you get the power cuts that happen from morning to some time in the afternoon or the power cuts that happen from the afternoon to some time at night, but with these extended cuts it's been from around 6am to around 9pm almost daily. Today was a day for the morning power cut, which was a bit of a surprise because when power goes in the morning you just expect it to be yet another long day of no power. What sucks also is that there isn't a proper schedule that people can follow so they can plan around these power cuts (in the past there would be scheduled published in the newspapers). I'll try to do that, so please be patient with me. At least as far as my interne...

How's it going? I hope you've been keeping well. There's some more good news that I've got to share with you this time which is related to content that I've wanted to share but haven't been able to because of long-running internet troubles. As of a couple of weeks ago we've got some decent internet at home and my hope is that this will allow me to flex even a little bit when it comes to putting out content, whether it's the current content like the walkthroughs or the audio series or the type of content that I am about to talk about.  Let's start from the beginning. Back in 2015 I started putting out audio reviews of wrestling shows that I was following at the time. You can give them a listen here .  I am a long time wrestling fan, maybe that's a bit of a surprise to some of you, and those reviews were just for fun really. Thought it would be nice idea and just gave it a shot. Another idea that I had was for an audio version of Universe Mode from...

Hello hello, how's it going? I have some good news to share with you, something which I hope will be a nice way to end the week. Behold... It took a while but here we are with the internet upgrade that I had been hoping for. That's the router in the photo above, sitting on one of our old TVs in the dining room. Bought from one of the local mobile networks for $200 USD and monthly we'll be paying $45 for a 5mbps semi-unlimited data package (the actual data cap 1TB but nobody here will be live-streaming or online all day everyday so I doubt we'll reach that cap...unless of course someone decides to save all their super downloading for the days just before the subscription ends. Hmm...). For any of you reading this and shaking your head at the price and the speeds for that price, I totally understand because I know it's a rip off but that's the best package being offered currently outside of what Elon Musk's Starlink is apparently asking for (lowest price is ab...

Hello hello. I hope you've been keeping well, it has been a very long minute eh? Apologies for the silence and lack of activity as far as posting here on the site and putting out content goes, I have been super busy with work since March. For those of you who don't know or are new to the site, I work with my brother and my dad in a manufacturing business. Usually I would get some free time for my content creator work but because we've been supplying our products directly to customers for a while now, I have not had much of a chance to pick up where I left off in the prepping of the next audio episode ( Asterix ). That would need my full attention for reading the comic, making notes, putting together links for the episode notes, recording, editing and uploading the episode. What little free time that I have gotten though has been for the walkthrough work, which isn't as attention-heavy as the audio content. The Pokemon Saiph 2 walkthrough is pretty much done, what's...

It is Saturday morning as I am typing this and I am happy to let you know that power was restored here yesterday afternoon! Phew I was getting worried that we would be going to another weekend without electricity and had to wait until next week for the crew from the power company to show up and do their work. But we can't celebrate for too long because like I said in the previous post, sooner or later other cables will be stolen and once again the residents will have to pay for new ones and the cycle goes on. If residents were more organised and willing to set up a proper neighbourhood watch team, there might not be any more cable thefts or burglaries for that matter (because with a lot of residents having solar panels, they become potential targets for thieves), but from what I've heard from the old man so far there's not much organisation among residents. So for the time being, we are okay and just have to worry about loadshedding because I am sure that hasn't gone aw...

Hello hello. Apologies for the silence and no follow-up post after House of Sounds 34, I have been offline because of (you might have guessed it) power issues. Our fantastic*, amazing*, gold standard level* (citation needed for what has an astetisk) national power company introduced another round of loadshedding recently. It went into effect in our area last Wednesday, power goes around 10am and returns just before 6pm from what I noticed on the day up to Friday. Then as if that wasn't lousy enough, on Saturday morning we woke up to find no power. Naturally I thought "Oh, a super early power cut. Could mean power will be back around lunchtime, okay." But lunchtime came and went, no power. 6pm came and went, no power. Sunday morning rolled in and still nothing. What's the deal? We would find out later in the day that cables had been stolen early Saturday morning. The last time cable theft happened here was around this time LAST YEAR. Things became slightly better ever ...

[ recorded on Thursday 15 February 2024 ] Apologies for the late recording and late upload, I got super busy last week and the initial plan to record over the previous weekend was a big fail and then I had no internet access this past weekend. In this episode we pick up from where we left off in Episode 33 with Kentphonik from Soul Candi Sessions 3 , then Kiloo & Phonique, Four to the Floor and a little more :) Health Update: I am a-okay now and can get back to the podcasts! What's coming up next? Episode 4 of Asterix and the Indomitable Audio Series, which takes a look at Asterix the Gladiator , so please make a note of that and stay tuned. https://archive.org/download/house-of-sounds-episode-34/House%20of%20Sounds%20Ep%2034%20%28Tuesday%2020%20February%202024%29.mp3 BitChute Video:  https://www.bitchute.com/video/uAF02dvwovJd/ YouTube Video:  https://youtu.be/7qc4-nS0uo8 Video Playlist:  https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/xyqSzBptBCv1/ Vault of Sounds Playlist:...

Here's hoping your week has gone well, hello. I've been dealing with a nasty little cough since the previous week, so I'm holding off on recording anything that involves my voice until I'm back to 100%. But I am planning to record House of Sounds over the weekend, you can look forward to that. The Whatsapp Channel is available, that's where I'll post updates and notify you when new content is up so please check that out and give it a follow.  Counting Electric Sheep 29 is available, if you haven't checked it out please do. It is the last set in the Sessions series, showcasing songs from Fairy Tail 's first soundtrack. I've included the link to the CES request thread too because now I can start taking requests for the next series so you can send them in.  I've begun my next walkthrough, it's for Vytron's Pokemon Saiph 2. You might be familiar with his previous games Pokemon Sors and Pokemon Saiph, so you can be sure that this one is anot...

  It took a bit but here it is, the final set in the Sessions series (for now?). The focus for this one is the first original soundtrack for the Fairy Tail anime. It was composed by Yasuharu Takanashi and released on the 6th of June 2010. Even after all these years the soundtrack still holds up, with plenty of songs that made you get hyped for many of the awesome battles that were in the anime.  A big thank you to everyone who has been following Counting Electric Sheep, not just from CES 20 when Sessions began but from the first set. I hope you are looking forward to the next series of sets which starts with CES 30. I put up a post about this some time ago so after checking out this set head over to that post.  https://archive.org/download/counting-electric-sheep-029/Counting%20Electric%20Sheep%20029.mp3 Video version:  https://www.bitchute.com/video/GJzLByj9F7QZ/ Archive: https://archive.org/details/@allen_cee Video playlist: https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/i6bd0...

 If I haven't said it to you by now then Happy 2024! I hope you jumped into the new year safe and sound. How has it been treating you so far?

First release of the new year! Happy 2024 to you, I hope January hasn't been too harsh on you :)  I'll give the live-action series a 3 out of 5. It's not the greatest live-action adaptation ever made but it's a decent watch which won't leave you asking why you wasted your time watching it (like some other notorious adaptations...I'm still looking at you Dragon Ball E and Knights of the Zodiac). Great work as far as costumes, set designs, Easter eggs, references and the actors bringing the key characters to life. However, the series just leaves out a lot of the source material's charm because of the changes which were made, even though Oda was involved as an Executive Producer. Will things improve from season 2 onwards? We'll see. Enjoy the review and of course, let me know what you thought of the live-action series in the comments below. Cheers. (if you took a shot for every "good job" and "missed opportunity" said in the review, you ...
