Avengers: Infinity War (Film Review)

***CONTAINS SPOILERS***
I'll sum this up with one word *inhales* overrated... now do you believe that? Didn't think so! I mean could you imagine if I truly thought that ha. Perhaps in another universe I do feel this way?
But in this one, I can't stop thinking about this unbelievable jamboree of a film!!
The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy are now about to meet their match as Thanos and his 4 kids set off on a family trip to bring balance to the universe.
Read all about why Avengers: Infinity War is a must see and a jewel of a film!

My Battle With Anxiety (Mental Health Awareness 2018)

I've been planning this for months on how to get my message across so, so I came up with this idea for Mental Health Awareness week! I don't know what to gain from this (even my Facebook post on my Timeline) but I guess I just want to vent out some feelings that have affected me most of last year which is why I put the blog on hiatus and have been trying to get back into it slowly whilst also working on Photography editing at the same time as life just being busy.
So here I'm expressing lots of feelings I've had inside for a while but also stating how things are still okay in my life. *Picture taken, edited and comissioned superbly by Jamie Flack (Cat&Crown Artwork)* <3

Black Panther (Film Review)

"You are a good man, with a good heart. And it's hard for a good man to be a king."
After the events of Captain America: Civil War, Prince T'Challa / Black Panther is returning home to Wakanda to be crowned King. But his sovereignty and the ways of his kingdom are questioned by a new adversary that threatens the balance and secresy of this advanced kingdom. T'Challa will need to sharpen his claws if he is to remain king and maintain the supernatural powers of the Black Panther!
This is why Black Panther is in my Top 5 in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

MCM London Comic-Con, October 2017

Yeah I know it’s late but with my first MCM Birmingham coming up this weekend, I figured I’d best share what London’s MCM was like in October. I got to spend 3 days doing photoshoots with friends and new ones whilst staying up in a hotel alone (next time will be with my Con group). I've been all over the place most of last year since this was finished on 15th March 2018 (despite programming this post for a past date). But I aim to finally begin returning here to write up some delayed work and explain what I've been up to in 2017 and 2018.
Anyway without going on and on, here’s what I got up to at MCM London’s October Comic-Con 2017!

What I Have Been Up To (July - August Brief Recap)

Some of you might have been wondering "Where has Josh gone to?"
Well truth be told, I've been taking an unexpected and long break from AsperJosh and been enjoying myself with friends, life and achievements. And recently, it's been dawning on me for a while as to how I can get back to this and how to turn it from a stressful routine and back to the casual and short and sweet style from which it was built upon. Here's a short post about what I've been up to and what I have in store.

Ash & Ben's Summer London Meet-Up (August 2017)

The first weekend of August was one of the best Saturdays I've had all year and is one of this year's biggest highlights. Thanks to Ash and Ben for an incredible day out in Hyde Park with other Comic-Con fwends I know too and I felt so equal to everyone during the day of silly shenanigans.
Nothing but fwends, photography, nerds, gaming and wagamama goodness in the sunshine (with a slight chance of scattered showers) ha. This is my lift up from an anxious July and I got to hang out with amazing company outside of Con!

My Late 24th Birthday

My birthday week has been mixed and eventful but the weekend ended on a good night out in Brighton. And I did enjoy a catchup with my old group whom I haven't seen since last October's Tough Mudder. Anyway, here's what happened in the first week of June.

MCM London Comic-Con, May 2017 + 100,000 Total Views!

This time at Con, it's been much better than past visits! I've actually enjoyed myself, acted more confident whilst still polite when asking for photos with people and I've seen a load of my friends briefly across both days. I may not had been recognised as a Human version of Mewtwo as I'd hoped but going up as a Photographer too was definitely the right course of action to have had more fun and begin a future career and my upcoming Photography Facebook page! Here's what I got up to at May's MCM London Comic-Con 2017! And also to thank all my readers and friends for helping my blog reach a whopping and unbelievable 100,000 Total Views!!!!!!! <3

Creating My Mewtwo Scientist Pokemon Cosplay

This has been quite a challenge in the name of Cosplay. I wanted to go for something outstanding and unique to the common Deadpool and Harley Quinns etc. So I found a Fan-Art design for my favourite Pokemon and decided to give this a try for May 2017's Comic-Con and I think it's turned out rather well! Here's how I achieved it.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 (Film Review)

The A-holes are back in their 2nd quest to save the Galaxy! Where they will not only be hunted dead by new and old enemies but Star-Lord himself will meet someone that he thought he'd never find! Packed with hilarious comedy, more space action than Star Wars and another classic mixtape - here's why Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 is the best Marvel film, maybe ever!

Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus (Game Review)

Abe's second adventure is much darker than his first unexpected journey where he had to had to save his fellow brethren from ending up on the menu.
This time, Abe will lean or a twisted plot involving the bones of his ancestors. The Glukkons are up to no good again and only Abe can restore peace to the dead and rescue even more Mudoken than before. This is Abe's Exoddus.

My Good, Bad and Awkward Views on Facebook

To commemorate National Autism Awareness for April, I've decided to share my thoughts on my actions and behaviour with one of the biggest social media's on the internet. I want to disclose my thoughts as to what I feel whenever I try to interact on Facebook because a lot of the time, these feelings make me ill and paranoid and affect my views on friends and life. Or I could just be over analysing everything ha.
I'm quite scared about this but I feel that it'll help others as well as myself understand how interacting on a screen is different to the real world and how there are mixed reactions to everything that we choose to do.

13 Reasons Why (Series Review)

When people leave us for reasons that we can't understand, it changes and affects us forever. Some consider it "attention seeking", others feel surprised and some people become lost like a piece of their life has died. This Netflix series teaches us about Mental Health and how we can't see how people are affected by words and life itself. It shows a poignant message about loneliness and teenage suicide. And by the end of it, you'll feel more connected and sympathetic to the characters than ever. You might even learn to be more kind to people, you could save a life.
As you learn the story of why Hannah Baker took her own life and how the 7 Tapes she left behind will help her friend Clay Jensen discover the reasons why!

Milano Realy Marathon (Dolby Vivisol, Italy 2017)

Last weekend, I had a great 3 day free trip to Milan, Italy where I joined my newfound colleagues from the offices and participated with them in the Sunday Milano Relay Marathon for Dolby Vivisol. My training really paid off and it was quite an experience. Here's what happened on the first weekend of April!

8 Weeks With A New Haircut

8 Weeks ago, my sister Rebecca and her friend Francesca said I'd look good with a new hairstyle that they both chose for me. And ever since, I had loads of compliments, been getting more noticed and people saying it suits me. So I've been waxing, styling and combing (not too vainly) and been enjoying how short my hair has been and how one little change can make you look and feel more older and cooler than before!

Kingdom Hearts Orchestra - World Tour, March 2017

Last Saturday, I finally got round to going to see a live Orchestra performance of one of my all time favourite gaming series called Kingdom Hearts. I admit that I've had a stressful past 2 weeks of trying to sort an issue out about the event, but I didn't let it stop me from going, even if I had to go alone in the end. But I had Franklin with me int he daytime and the show was spectacular (sadly no one was allowed to record anything). But here's what happened at the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra in London!

Volunteering At The Nuts Challenge, March 2017

Last Sunday was actually my first time volunteering with friends at an event that I was surprisingly comfortable with. And I'm really looking forward to attempting a different Mud Assault Course with a new team that I've grown rather fond of over a year.
Anyway, here's why I volunteered with my friend from Bootcamp at The Nuts Challenge near Holmwood.

Logan (Film Review)

"Logan, you still have time"
Hugh Jackman closes the book on everyone's favourite Anti-Hero mutant of the X-Men series.
This was perhaps the toughest, greatest and most violent Marvel film I've ever seen! Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart gave their best performance ever in the X-Men film series...
Full of emotional conflict, gory and epic fights and an unforgettable conclusion, Logan is a true must see no matter what.

Pokemon Go 2nd Generation Day Out In Brighton + Purdew's Birthday, February 2017

Last weekend was a great Saturday when the sun came out and Franklin decided that we should head to Brighton to hunt the recently updated Pokemon Go 2nd Generation release. It sounds a little childish and eccentric, but it was an excellent day and the fun continued in the evening as loads of us celebrated Purdew's birthday at his place. I've got more posts lined up soon but here I'm showing off my collection with one of my best friends in Brighton.

London Anime & Gaming Con, February 2017

I really enjoyed last Saturday where I returned to a smaller London Con after 2 years and I got to meet new and old faces again for the day. I really loved hanging out with my friends and I also got to try out some first time Cosplay Photography.
Here's what happened at London Anime Gaming Con, Feb 2017!
