MeTime hints 'Gaming on a budget.'

Hello everyone, as you all know here at Me Time Gifts we value the time to spend on yourself and on a hobby.

Also being Stan of StansDiscountBargains, I can understand that a lot of hobbies can be expensive and in todays very economically fragile world, we all want to save a little money.
So in this series of blogs, I shall be highlighting free games that are high quality and may have slipped under the radar, remember you don't need to shell out £40 for every new release to be a good gamer.

First up on our list is a rather special title, since I know everyone and their dog uses facebook these days I thought it would be a good start.

Dungeon Overlord, is a free facebook game in which you take control of a dark-lord building a dungeon within a mountain of evil, the objective of the game is to expand you dungeon(s) so you can amass resources and monsters, so you may raid and pillage towns and cities on the surface, and even other dungeons.

Overall the game is rather pretty, the environments are bright and vibrant and it has a wonderful art style where its not too realistic, yet not too happy-go-lucky cartoony.

Slight health and saftey issue with lava everywhere.

 Gameplay takes oh-so many pages out of the Dungeon Keeper games, which is every good, anyone who is familiar with those games, or similar titles such as Theme-Park or Theme-Hospital, will feel right at home.

The core meat of the game is expanding you dungeon with different rooms to achieve goals, for example you need a den for your creatures to sleep in, once you build a den monsters will start arriving and working for you.
If you build a library you will start gaining research points which you can spend on new technology to build more rooms that do different things.

The only annoying thing about this game is it's time sink mechanic and to be honest its not that bad.
Unlike games like Dungeon Keeper, resources will not be taken to your store room by themselves, when your minions mine some gold or harvest some food you will need to click on it to send it to your  store room and they cant put anymore resources on the ground until you do.

Basically this means, that when you log off for the day, your minions will continue to mine and craft, but they will leave their creations all over the floor, and until you order them to take it all to the store room, they will not mine or craft any more items.

Obviously this slightly annoying mechanic is a throwback to say Farmville, in which you have to log on at different times in the day to harvest crops etc. To be honest it isn't too bad, and it is satisfying coming to your dungeon 5 hours later, and seeing a horde of gold for the taking.

All in all it's a good game to have running in the background while you're working (heck I have it running in the background as we speak)

And (even though I wouldn't recommend it) it's a good game to be playing at work since it's rather low maintenance, and it might help you blow off some steam if you think your boss... might in fact be an Evil Dungeon Overlord.

Until next time, have a good weekend everybody.

Begginers guide to memes part 4: The best meme... i've ever had.

Greetings one and all, since we have already met the self-proclaimed King of memes (e.g. trollface)

It's time to meet the Queen of memes.

And that queen is... well Queen.

I'm a meme, passing by like mr me-gusta. Gonna go go go, theres no stopping me!

Freddie is an image macro (that is to say, an image that can be copied and pasted) usually used to portray a situation of great achievement.

Such as say, passing an incredibly difficult exam with flying colours.

Freddie is part of a series of characters used in Rage Comics. (We will have a blog on those later, they are essentially comics printed with memes for humorous results)

Unfortunately Mr Fahrenheit can also be used to portray a situation where victory was cruely snatched away at the last minute.

Nothing really matters... too meme.

And there you have it, if your situation is laughter or tears Freddie Mercury will always be there to better describe your situation. Till next time everybody.

EMERGENCY REVIEW: Warhammer 40,000 SPACE MARINE

Attention all willing servants of the Emperor.

This message is of high value and must not fall into heretical hands...


Hello everyone, I apologies for our delay in meme-knowledge but I played something today, a demo... a demo of Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine.  And It blew me away.

Yep... blown away.

For those who don't know, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine is a 3rd person shooter coming to the XBOX, PS3 and PC in September.

In this 3rd person blood-fest, you shall take the role of a Space Marine, a super-human defender of the Imperium of Man and angel of death sent by the Emperor.

Story-line of the game is pretty sketchy as of now, with no real details being spilled just yet, all we know is there is a human controlled planet under siege by Orks and you must aid the defense.


Okay now for the good stuff... Gameplay.
Controls are very tight, sensitivity for turning and such can be tuned at will, yet it starts off pretty solid anyway.

The space marine you take control of handles very well, being able to roll into and out of combat and behind cover. Sprint from place to place, fire with relative accuracy and fight in close combat fluently and without any problems.

Not only weighty and gory, but the close combat flows well and is satisfying.

All of the weapons feel ever so meaty and combat is gory and brutally enjoyable, you really feel every blow, and for once a game developer has understood what a Bolter (signature weapon of the marines) should feel and handle like (I.e. semi-automatic... might as well be firing explosive trucks)

Another part of the demo gave you access to an assault pack, kind of like a low altitude jetpack combined with a nuclear warhead, not only did it allow me to leap from one side of the level to another with the greatest of ease, but it also let me plummet down and strike the enemy from above. Shock and Awe doesn't even begin to cut it.

To be honest if the final product is going to be anything like the demo, we may have a rival for titles such as Gears of War 3. (No disrespect towards Gears 3 of course, I have played and loved the gears series since day one and will continue to do so. Hey maybe I'll review that too when it comes out.)

Definatly pick this one up. In name of the Emperor!

Beginners guide to Memes Part 2 (Pronounded T-hoo)

Well hello everybody, once again we dive into the wonderful and amazing world of Memes and internet jokes.

Since we have already met our good friend Me Gusta it is time to go to the opposite end of the spectrum, the darkside of memes if you will.

Keep that holy water handy since this... diabolical individual may aswell be the manifestation of internet 'evulz' I bring you...

Trollface -

This... demonic apparition exists for only on purpose, to annoy.

You see 'Trolling' as it is called on the internet, is simply trying to cause trouble and shenanigans for fun, starting arguments, insulting someone to try and provoke a response, playing practical jokes and in general mischief.

And this isn't ONLY applicable to humans, anyone remember that whole ash-cloud thing stopping air transport a while back?

We will bring you to justice... troll-cano.

Also his catch-phrase 'Problem?' is just... dark magic to infuriate.
So now all that trolling shenanigans is out of the way, why not scrub the foul taint from your soul with a fine selection of soaps from Me Time Gifts?

The return of the Me Time Gifts Blog! And the intro, of somthing special.

Hello one and all I have returned bringing news of sales and bubbly goodness from Me Time Gifts.

But before we get into all the celebrations I think it is time to educate our readers on a very special topic.

In this crazy old place we call the internet, we don't just buy insanely highquallity soap at rock bottom prices oh no, it was also be a place of humor and shenanigans... yes SHENANIGANS.

In this Mini-series of blogs I shall be introducing you to the 'in-jokes' of the internet known as 'memes' (Pronunced meems) and all the fun and splendiforous (it's a word dont judge me) hours of joy they can provide.

To start let's take something we can all relate to... 'Me Gusta'   (For those of you who speak Spanish you will know 'Me Gusta' means 'I Like.')

'Me Gusta' is a cartoon face posted whenever someone encounters something they like.

Handsom Devil... 'Me Gusta'

Such as lets say, the child like WHIMSICASLLITY of being served vegtables that look... vaugely like trees.

C'mon we've all done it... and its soo good.

And there you have it, the WONDER and er GLAMOR...ODIUS   'Me Gusta'.

Who knows maybe we'll change our name to 'Me-Gusta Time Gifts' we can but hope... until next time everybody.

(Warning: Glamorodius is not a word, do not use it in an attempt to look intelligent.)
