Week One: Thrash Metal Picks!


Greetings, Darklings! I get asked a lot of music related questions thus I thought that it would be a relatively snazzy idea to spice things up a little and make an introductory list every once in a while primarily based around my top five selected bands from various sub-genres of Metal such as Black, Drone, Speed, Death, Doom, Symphonic, etc. I'll make this a series and cover other genres such as Classic Rock, Progressive Rock, New Wave, etc and individual artists since I'm excessively optimistic when it comes to the music side of the spectrum. I'm not going to lie, trying to narrow this list down to five bands was pretty brutal and it's not in any specific order but if you would like to see a more extensive list then don't hesitate to ask and I'll gladly fire it at you!

A December and January Book Haul

Greetings, Darklings! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! Although... I'm certain my liver isn't too grateful for the generous consumption of whisky I had to offer myself. 'Tis the season to be jolly, after all!

An Interview with a Reporter: Tips and Advice!

Hello, Darklings! I recently conducted my first interview with Paul Fisher, a reporter for the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald. The interview was highly successful in regards to being able to find out generalised and useful information on how to break into a very competitive sector especially in this day and age. The outcome of the interview has made me eager to step out of my comfort zone a lot more often since it was problem free and ran smoothly. I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and figured that the answers I received might be of interest to anyone whom is intrigued to know additional and insightful information from a valuable source and essentially, a professionals point of view.

Review: The Darkness II // Video Game


Greetings, Darklings! I've been meaning to review "The Darkness II" for quite a while now since it's one of my all-time favourite gory psychological horror games. If that wasn't a captivating enough genre, it also contains light elements of roleplay. What a winner! I haven't had a lot of free time lately due to college deadlines being brought into the equation but now that I'm off college for two weeks, I'll be posting as frequently as I can since I'm an insomniac so be on the lookout for that and feel free to leave suggestions in the comments below as to what you would like to see me review/discuss. I tend to ramble a lot during every introductory paragraph... So, without further ado, let's begin.

My November Favourites: Winter Edition!


Greetings, Darklings! It's been a few weeks since I last posted on here thus I apologise for the delay. I couldn't have been more wrong when I said that my hectic work schedule was on the verge of calming down. I dislike not being able to post as frequently as I'd like to. Ideally, I'd love to be able to have a new post up at least three or four times a week. The only problematic error is being able to find the time especially when I'm currently being faced with an abundance of work with deadlines. Today, I wanted to do something a bit different and I felt that by doing a favourites post, this would be a reasonable justification in regards to how generous I've been to myself this month. It was worth a shot, right? This is going to evolve into a very, very long read so grab yourself some snacks, a wee cup of tea and enjoy!

My Favourite Comedy Films!



Greetings, Darklings! Today, I thought I'd feature six films that I'm eternally ranting and raving about. Each comedic treat is packed with memorable quotes and a bucket of laughter... or two, or maybe even three...

Update: College, Internship and Winterhearth!


Greetings, Darklings! I apologise for the slight delay in posts. I thought I’d update you guys on where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing as mundane as my life is. While I'm here, I thought I’d let you know that I'll be posting every Monday and Thursday.
