Modded Minecraft: Ep18, Going nuclear #6 Rage against the Zombie and a H...
In this episode I make a hazmat suit to be able to handle the deadly radioactive materials we will be handling for the nuclear reactor. As well as that I get really angry at a zombie who sneaks up on me.

Another week gone and stuff to talk about so lets get straight to it.
First lets get the important stuff out the way, Jurassic World. Yes it was good, a lot better than I was expecting it to be however the ending did let it down just a bit. I love the throw back to the classic films and couldn't help smile when the Chris Pratt meme scene came on. If you are not aware of this then you must live under a rock, check image below to see what I am on about.
I'm trying to keep up to date with videos but this coming week I am doing a lot of traveling so they won't be kept up to date as much. They will be back to the daily schedule soon. I will also have to start looking into getting some more storage space as my hard drives are filling up quite quickly.
Interesting bit of information here, turns out Windows 10 will not be free.

Done Done
Well 4 years later and I am finally finsihed with university. I have had a wonderful time at Aberystwtyth and I hope to not be away from it for too long. I am still waiting on results but hopefully I will get at least a 2:1(a 1st if I am lucky).
So what am I up to now, well, first priority is to get a job. I have spoken to a few people and got a few interviews lined up, so we shall see how they go. To try and keep on top of things I am working on a few projects, both hardware and software. As well as that I have a charity raft race this coming Sunday at Glengower in Aberystwyth so that should be good. Got a few friends coming up to take part as well.
Other things that are going on is my YouTube channel is back to being updated and you can have a look at what I have going on here feel free to like my videos or if you feel up to it even subscribe.
I should hopefully get back to updating my blog a bit more as well and might even start doing some Vlogs on YouTube so look out for them.

Some work and some play
Well It has been a bit more than a week since I last updated this but it has been very busy. I have signed up to a few sports and I am fully into my lectures after a bit of module switching.
So first up uni work, well after swapping Space robotics for Computer vision I have more or less settled in nicely. A few assignments/tasks have been handed out and they look really fun and...awkward. I am having a bit of trouble with one of my modules as it involves a lot of maths, such as matrix transformations. All the rest are really interesting and hopefully should all go well.
Now for the extra curricular activities...
First up I have joined the Aberystwyth robotics society to work on various bits and bobs. One main area of interest is quad-copters and other flying machines. I am also soon to start looking at a Reprap 3D printer to try and help get it working.
I am also a part of the Digs football team, F.C. Beaver. First training session didn't go brilliantly and it chucked it down with rain mid way. Should get better :). I have my first friendly tomorrow against Ivory Toast so should be fun and shall see how that goes.
I have also taken up fencing which is very fun but tiring and stressful on the legs. I have learnt a few moves such as lunge, disengage and circle parry and a few others. It also works up a bit of a sweat wearing all the gear. I am however considering putting myself up for vote to be novice representative.
Finally I have also taken up ballroom dancing. This is brilliant fun and shows me how much I know about my right and left. So far learnt the basics of Waltz, Cha, Jive and Quickstep and a few little bits such as the new yorker. I have also put myself down for competing at basic level which could be interesting so lots of practice.
Well that is it so far, I am keeping busy and loving every moment. Stay tuned for more news.

New Microphone
Woop! Finally got my new microphone through so my videos should start sounding a little more professional, just need to work on my self sounding professional :P.
The microphone I went with was a Samson Go Microphone which is a nice little portable thing and has Omni setting to pick up sounds from all around, bidirectional to pick up sound in front and behind while ignoring sounds to the side.
The one I find myself using most though is Cardioid which picks up sound directly infront of the microphone. This is the best for me as I use it for my lets plays and possibly for some future talky stuff. If you feel like hearing my voice through my new microphone stay tuned to my YouTube page.
Thanks again for reading :)

Introductions
Well this is my first post(On my new blog, all the posts before this were imported) so I think I should introduce myself a bit. My name is Chris and I am 24, won't give you too much on me, stops you tracking me down :P
A little bit about myself. I am quite crazy and very talkative, tall at around 6' 2", love to have a laugh and travel. I don't play games that much as I am not brilliant but I have been doing more since restarting my YouTube channel. I love watching TV and Films and could talk about them forever.
I am currently on my industrial year down south which will becoming to an end soon, this makes me sad. I have learnt loads while down here and hopefully can come back as a Graduate. I have met some wonderful people here who I hope to remain friends with for a long while and hopefully see them again at some point in the future.
In a couple months time I shall be heading to my parents hope for a brief stop and relaxation and then it will be back off to university for my final year. I go university in Aberystwyth, which if you are not familiar with, is a lovely coastal town in Wales(Lovely when not being destroyed by waves, no seriously check the past news reports). My time there has been fantastic and amazing, the people I have met there will be friends for life, some of whom I would even go as far as to call my family. When I get back I will be living with two other friends who do computer science, which is what I do by the way. I am not looking forward to the large amount of work that needs to be done but I am looking forward to being home.
Before I go I shall leave you with some handy links :)
YouTube - Ignore the first few videos, the channel is still going under changes and I am getting used to some video editing settings.
Twitter - Feel free to follow or message me on here and I will also try and get back to you if you ask a question. If you have any topics you wish for me to talk about please don't hesitate to ask.
