It’s been a while. A really long while. So long, in fact, that I’m actually scared to post this incase the old, dusty frame of BCR collapses under the strain of this singular new post. Because seriously, more than a year? Wow.
We’ve never been under any illusions that our humble little video games & film blog was ever popular or even viewed by more than 40 people in the world on a regular basis, but all the same I want to apologise for my failure as a would-be blogger in posting anything whatsoever post-circa-early 2012.
Did I get lazy? Maybe. Will this site ever be what we had once hoped it would? Probably not. I don’t anticipate I’ll be making any more posts any time soon, unless a mystical vision appears to me and explains it’s the only way I can save the world from the Apocalypse, but let’s be honest, I’d probably be too lazy even then.
Whilst this isn’t an official closure of BCR (who knows, maybe we’ll get a second wind one day), I’d like to say I did have a whale of a time writing articles about all kinds of tripe, particularly when reviewing video games, and if any of my scrawlings have ever entertained even one person, then I’ll be pleased.
For now, if you’re reading this because you thought you’d check and see if we’ve ever posted anything since April last year, thank you for -ever- coming back. However, unless we make some serious updates and plans to get back on track, don’t expect anything of interest to occur here for a good while, if at all.
If it does, we hope you will know about it.
Cheers
I recently played through Cult of the Lamb, a satirical take on the concept of running a demonic cult. It turns horrific things like sacrificial rituals, cannibalism and straight up gaslighting abuse into hilarious amusements by filtering everything through its cartoonish lens. You are a sheep, after all, and all your followers are sycophantic anthropomorphic […]
Hello, world! This post marks the moment in time and space when BangClickReload got a little redesign and was dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century. Every post before this point is rather old and might not look right, and unless I decide to go through them all to fix them, they’re going to […]
I’ve been pretty absent from PC gaming for some time, since moving to Canada in early 2017, because I haven’t had a proper computer to play games on. That has recently changed, since I got myself set up with a new gaming rig that can handle pretty much anything that’s out at the moment. I […]
It’s been 4 years since Crysis, the PC exclusive beast which became the graphical benchmark for all modern shooters. For a while we were waiting in anticipation of what Crytek’s next game would look like, expecting another leap forward in graphical deliciousness. Crysis 2 is now only a month away from release, and though it doesn’t appear to be as great a leap forward in the visual department as we expected, (lets thank the console toys for that) it still looks fantastic. See the new 3 minute story trailer below.
There’s a new Call of Juarez game coming out, and its going in a very different direction. Scrapping the wild west setting for a modern one is a bold move – don’t we have enough modern shooters these days? Call of Juarez’s Wild West felt like a breath of fresh air in a genre saturated with modern shooters. Still, if this trailer is anything to go by, they’re at least trying to keep the themes of lawmen vs outlaws, and I’m certainly interested enough to keep my eye on it. It’s due out in Summer 2011. See the trailer below.
What makes you want to finish a video game? Just getting to the end of it is usually enough to satisfy most people to the point that they will happily trade it in for a new one right away, because, well – apart from multiplayer – there’s nothing left to do once you’ve completed it, right?
Don’t be stupid, of course there is!
