Ziedrich’s Diary 5 – Event Plannings
I have been planning for loads of events recently, two of which is my wedding which will take place next year, March 3rd 2012, it’s been a really stressful time trying to keep things under wraps, we have booked the reception by paying for the deposit and we also booked the photographers. The photography costs £1150, which sounds alot but when you think about it, the prices have barely changed in the last 10 or 15 years so in the long run, it’s pretty decent, we had to pay £300 deposit to book them for the event, my grandma is giving us money towards it, my mother is paying for the rental car and cake, my father is paying for the flowers (Bless him, lol), and we have had money from others too which was generous of them but hopefully we can keep a lid on it all.
The second major event we are going to is the London Expo or Memorabilia as it’s called this year, the event will happen at October 29-30th so it’s a all weekend event, hopefully I can visit both days but it has been considered official just recently that I am going to the event so if anyone is going this year, not the May one, the October one, you might be able to bump into me. I’m mainly going there to visit a load of my friends from facebook and forums, I won’t name any but they know who they are, it’s going to be a good event!
Other planning includes my trying to get more gaming reviews made, due to my lack of free time, posts have been a little scarce but I should be able to get something done this week at least, I was thinking of making a Bulletstorm review since I’ve pretty much tried everything and completed the game so I have enough experience to get a decent review made on it.
I’ve recently been talking about classic games and underrated games from my friends on facebook, we were talking about games what we thought should’ve done well, like The Bouncer, Chaos Legion and Hogs of War and those games we don’t want to see anymore such as Armoured Core. Seriously, Armoured Core series needs to be put to rest due to it being over the top and becoming really repetitive, the amount of expansions to them also is unbelievable aswell as annoying.
I will be making a post soon about games that I thought were underrated and those games that need a sequel a bit later on, along with the Bulletstorm review, thats it for another week, see ya!

Ziedrich’s Diary 4 – Catching Up
This week has been a pretty awkward week but ended in a high note, a member of staff quit at work at the beginning of this week, the guy was younger than me and only left on the advice of his father apparently. He came into the reception and told my mother, who is the receptionist, that he doesn’t feel like he is cut upto the job, which was weird that this was one of his dream jobs, being a mechanic, he only plays driving video games and even then he is very strict on those games too.
Been getting back to some of my fan fics recently and thinking about new ones, I’m always thinking, always planning new stories to make. I thought about going back to my Fallen Twilight story which isn’t a fan fic, it’s a original story, I’m normally not good at making them but I decided to give it a shot early last year before I made this blog, after making the prologue and first chapter, while making the second part, I suddenly lost interest for some unknown reason. I really got to get back on it, some people on my facebook have started reading it which re-sparked my interest for it, so at some point, possibly March, I will get back to working on it again along with the Just Cause: Blood of Panau fan fic with my friend.
Jerry “The King” Lawler’s mother, Hazel, had her funeral on wednesday, this is very sad news about her death and I can’t blame Lawler for not turning up on RAW the following day. He said he will compete at the Elimination Chamber but, I dunno, something at the back of my mind saying that he might not actually compete due to him being mentally and spiritually broken from the loss of his mother. She died aged 90 which is a very good life lived, most people can barely live beyond 75 these days so he should be happy too, not for living so long but for the fact that her suffering has ended and she can live in peace.
I read up on Sky 1 website recently that Spartacus has found a new home on Sky, since Bravo was taken off air at the start of this year, programs like TNA and Spartacus had no home to show their programs, it took over a month to get everything sorted again. TNA iMPACT, Xplosion and their PPVs are now showing on Challenge, which apparently, is now shown on Freeview aswell as Sky so that’s good for some people who can’t get Sky.
Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena, the second series of Spartacus, is a prequel of the first series and it will start on Monday the 21st March on Sky 1, to see more information on the series, go to
http://sky1.sky.com/spartacus
to find out more.
Speaking of fighting and wrestling, WWE Elimination Chamber PPV is showing tonight, I will post the results to the Pay-Per-View on monday night, this one is recordable since it will be shown on Sky Sports 1 for UK viewers but incase you miss it, you can just view my blog, tomorrow night, and see the results to the PPV.
Those who have been reading my facebook statuses recently, I have been on a bit of a cinema spree this weekend, reason why is that we haven’t been in over 2 months and we have these cinema cards in which we pay a monthly fee for a year and we can see as many films as we want for free, so we needed to catch up on our movie watching and this weekend was the best chance we had in a long while.
On saturday, me and my fiancee, went to see Paul, a film about a couple of British nerds, who went to america to visit a Comic-Con and see the alien crash sites around Area 51 and Las Vegas, Nevada and bump into an alien called Paul and they try to find a way to get him back home, we loved the film, lots of adult humour and had a few nice twists.
The second film we went to see was on Sunday, called Gnomeo and Juliet, this is one for the kids really but adults will find it good too, it has loads of famous voices in this, such as Michael Caine, Jason Stathom, Ozzy Osbourne, Patrick Stewart, Matt Lucas and Hulk Hogan. It’s basically a gnome version of Shakespeare’s popular play, Romeo and Juliet, good movie but we actually found Paul a better film really.
Thats it for this week, I’ll make another Diary post at some point next week, see ya!

Jerry Lawler’s mother passes on
I was reading PWTorch today and I am sad to say that the mother of WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry “The King” Lawler, has passed away.
Hazel passed away on Sunday evening, aged 90, she was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for about 6 years and it rapidly got worse over the past several months.
Funeral plans for her has been planned for Wednesday in Memphis. This might mean that Jerry Lawler won’t be in the Live WWE RAW program tonight, our prayers are with Jerry Lawler and his family, condolences to him about his mother, rest in peace Hazel.

Ziedrich’s Diary 3 – Stress and Surprise
This year is going to be a very stressful time for me, several reasons, some I can’t really tell you as they are more personal but work is struggling so my hours might be cut down a little, also with all the recent crap from the government, money is slowly becoming tighter.
The biggest stress related topic for me is my upcoming wedding, which will happen at March 3rd 2012, just one day after my 10 year anniversary to my fiancée, yes, I have a girlfriend, weird no? I mean, I’m such a gaming and wrestling nerd, its one of the biggest surprises of my life when she asked me out and we are still together after all these years, wow, time flies!
Well, in gaming news, I recently Dead Space 2 a few days ago, my fiancée is partially to blame as she love her horror and Dead Space is one of the few games that actually scares her which is what she loves so it’s not 100% my fault as we are trying to save up for the wedding, bah!!!
Dead Space 2 is really something else, it’s not quite as scary as the first one but the bosses and cut-scenes are just big wow factor and I soon want to try the multiplayer mode, it looks great on the trailer I saw and the ability to play as the necromorphs is kinda cool. I’d give the game a 9/10 for the awesome action and cut-scenes so if you like horrors, get this game, it won’t really scare the pants out of you but it will give you several fright jumps.
Less than 2 weeks till I get my copy of Marvel vs Capcom 3, I’m really looking forward to this game, every video I watch of the game’s gameplay, I just want it more and more and they only just stopped introducing characters into the game, it’s about time too since it’s soooo close to it’s release date, the last lot their introduced was 2 DLC characters, Jill Valentine from Resident Evil series and Shuma-Gorath from the Marvel side of the characters, not sure who that is really but it just looks like an mutated octopus!
In wrestling news, there is still debating about which mystery wrestler will arrive on the 21st Feb edition of WWE RAW, which is the day after the Elimination Chamber. It’s mostly pickings between The Undertaker or Sting, I still have a slight hunch it’s the undertaker, the mood of the entire promo just seems like a undertaker scenario but from what I heard, something about the date itself, 21/2/11, is somehow related to Sting, one person said the 10th anniversary since WWE completely took over WCW but I dunno if it’s true…. We will just have to see on the day.
Last week, a friend of mine from facebook, posted a video from YouTube, it was a fan film of Fallout 3 so I just had to watch, and I thought the Nuka-Cola still images advert was cool, this is just sheer awesomeness, really!!!
It was such a surprisingly great fan-made film, have a look for yourself, I’ve embedded it on this post for you all to see, it’s a bit of a parody of the game, great script and humour. This is more or less a vault-dweller and his friends, a male ghoul and a female ex-slave, travelling to find means to survive but all this vault-dweller wants to find is Nuka-Cola and will pretty much do anything to get some. Good effects and the main characters are loveable, watch below to see for yourself!
Anyway, this is the end of this week’s diary, I’ll make another either at the end of this week or early next week
The History of Lu Bu’s Theme Song
For 10 years now, Lu Bu has dominated the world of Dynasty Warriors, considered as the mightiest warrior of the Three Kindgoms era. He talks tough and he is, of course, as hard as nails, although he sort of degraded as he went through the series, but this is about his signature theme song that most of us remember through the DW series.
A badass warrior can’t be really badass without a kick arse theme song and Lu Bu is no different, since Dynasty Warriors 2, we all now recognise his theme song and should decide if we stay and fight him or run like heck and try to get round him.
Technically he didn’t have a theme song from Dynasty Warriors 2 since it was actually the opening theme that started it but since then, it’s one of the most noticeable songs in DW history, starting from DW3, Lu Bu inherited the opening theme song into his own and thus started the Lu Bu theme song.
Here is the list of Lu Bu’s theme songs, which does include the new Dynasty Warriors 7 version that was released just recently!
LU BU’S THEME (DYNASTY WARRIORS 3)
LU BU’S THEME (DYNASTY WARRIORS 4)
LU BU’S THEME (DYNASTY WARRIORS 5)
LU BU’S THEME (DYNASTY WARRIORS 6)
LU BU’S THEME (WARRIORS OROCHI)
LU BU’S THEME (DYNASTY WARRIORS ONLINE)
LU BU’S THEME (DYNASTY WARRIORS STRIKEFORCE)
LU BU’S THEME (ULTIMATE MIX)
LU BU’S THEME (DYNASTY WARRIORS 7)
My fan fiction – Just Cause: Blood of Panau
My upcoming fan fiction has finally got underway after I finished with a rough wallpaper poster of the fan fic, me and a friend of mine are making.
The fan fiction is a cross-over, it mixes two games together into one story with a twist, the story is called Just Cause: Blood of Panau, it’s based on the Just Cause 2 storyline but with a twist of WET characters and story blending.
Here is a guideline to what the story is about, Rubi, after the events of WET, was about to take things easy when she gets one final mission with enough cash to last her many years without work, the mission was the help out a agent who is working undercover. The mission was to help this undercover agent kill the president of Panau (A sort of fictional africa), the agent just had a nickname that he goes by, The Scorpion or Scorpio, but some of the people that Rubi though she killed, during her last mission, has returned and teamed up with the president of Panau in order to full conquer the entire country.
The reason for the name, Blood of Panau, in the game WET, the actual word WET is a term for blood and since the story is set in the fictional country, Panau, it will make sense when you give it a good think through.
As I said before, I have finished with the wallpaper poster, although it shows Rico from Just Cause 1, the story is based on the second game but this is just a rough poster so it won’t be the final product for the story.
