The 80's TV intro's

Hi as you folks out there can realise we know all about the Ice cool veneer of the 1980's, and what was cooler than the intro to a 1980's tv show.

By that i mean the way the charcters were introduced; check out examples below.

Now i always found it like they had been either caught off guard or were smiling for the camera, and in macgyvers case he somehow was always on an airfield.

I do miss the classic intros and i wrote this whilst listening to GENESIS live oh yes; LIVE.

Slight Delay

Due to some technical errors parts of the podcasts; Podcast short: Piranha 3d and Podcast 3 need re recording. Working on them as we speak and hope to see them up soon.

Resident Evil Awesome!

Resident Evil Afterlife.




Something about the Resdent Evil franchise makes me keep coming back. Maby its that i'm obsessed with zombie related films. Or maby that its that i loved the games so much. Perhaps its just the cybernetic post apocalyptic futuristic visualization of the world and the kick ass soundtrack. All i know is that i know i want to see it and i'm sure a little bit of you does too.

Release date : 10th September 2010

Gaming today.

How many people reading this would safely say that video gaming has become a huge part of everyones lives. It way it draws people in, whether its Mass Effect or Metal Gear Solid with its emotional plot lines, Gears of War or God of War with its hard hitting in your face exhilarating action or Call of Duty online that just keeps you running back for more. Whatever the reason the reason may be the fact is video games have taken over our lives.See i wake up, go to work selling videogames, get home, play videogames, then blog about videogames. Now not everyone works with videogames but you get the jist. I first realised this when i was about 14 and i got my copy of Medal of Honour Frontline home and as i played the opening to the game blew me away. Just the thrill of storming the beach, the explosions the drama. Thats what keeps me comming back, the pure intensity of a well made action game. I do strive to find the frontline feeling. But recently i have felt as though there has been a lack of well thought out hard hitting games recently and the videogames we once knew and loved just dont seem to be being made anymore. Theres something so overdone about call of duty and gears of war. Whats Halo? Just your average alien shooter. Fifa 10? i hate the idea behind football games. Whats with all the games that involve you feeding babies or playing with cats? Whatever happened to just waiting till you were old enough to have a baby, or getting a cat. To be honest im not even sure what point im trying to make but metal gear solid 4 and god of war 3 seem to cut it right for me. Im not sure what it is. They just have the frontline factor. Word

New challenger!

Hey guys,

Just to let everyone know, The Phoenix Project has got a new member, Jack. Welcome on board! Hah it's Jack writing this so I'll cut the lame intro. Basically Jon and Pete asked me join in on the fun and I came on board (you can hear my voice on the latest podcast which should be up in a few hours).

I haven't decided what my regular blog spot will be on yet, but I'm thinking films or something along those lines. Anyway, catch you all soon,  peace!

Knight Rider

Good Evening Folks, tonight im talking about everyones favourite pontiac firebird; no i dont mean kelly brook (hehe).
Im talking about KNIGHT RIDER; yep the story of one man vs the world; Michael Knight or should i say (Michael Long)- his original name is shot and is rebuilt in the name of Wilton Knights first son Michael Knight.
He is then given the keys to the sexiest piece of kit the 1980's could offer and no i dont mean Courtney Cox LOL; but the amazing KITT voiced by Mr Pheenay from boy meets world lol.

As you can see they made quite a team; and there still doing that today although im not sure about the new car.

Knight Rider ran between (1982-1986) a bit like the A-team in its last season added some silly charcters (Tc) lol which really did not work and sadly ended what was a great show; it was brought back in knight rider 2000; where they killed DEVON and destroyed KITT (what were they thinking)

Anyway Knight Rider is widely available on DVD and i would suggest a purchase or watch it everyday on BRAVO.And to finish Mike and the late great Gary Coleman

Back soon  

Recording

Just finished the recording of our second podcast, a good lump of recording there for you guys. As the official editor i now have a grueling two hours work ahead of me. But im gonna knuckle down and get on with it. Catch up with you guys in around two hours, if i'm not asleep.

Videogame Deaths

Recently I completed 2 of the best videogames that I have played in along time on my playstation 3. Now I'm all good for a dramatic plot with twists and turns with a happy ending. But for the second time as I sit through the closing credits I feel somewhat dissapointed. Not to spoil anything but the game that I had just completed was possibly the most incredible experience I've ever experienced playing a games console. So tell me this, why did they have to go and kill of such an almighty lead charactor. It just brought me up to the peak of my adrenaline when it comes to videogames to knock me back down leaving me empty and hollow. I am not happy.

MACGYVER

First off welcome to the site its going to be a link to all things past and present; anything kickass basically.

My first post is going to be about the legend that is Macgyver (1985-1992) what a show, pretty much a one man A-Team; Macgyver solved problems and stopped villians around the world weekly with nothing more than his wits and his trusty swiss army knife.
Sadly the show ended in 1992 largely due to Dana Elcars eyesight problems (Elcar played Mac's boss Pete Thornton) however they followed up with Macgyver and the city of Atlantis (where Mac disarmed a Nuclear bomb with a tennis racket and some string).

As you can see above the DVD's are available now and i would advise a purchase; aslo if you enjoy this you can follow Richard Dean Anderson in Stargate SG1 (1997-2008); He continues to appear in further Stargates Atlantis etc.

Macgyver's theme is also the intro to our first podcast and its seriously EPIC; although dont attempt to copy his haircut unless you are Richard Dean Anderson.

Enjoy the site and its further updates.

TOM!

The first ramblings.

Thanks for reading the first ever Pheonix Project blog. Id be surprised if you are reading this. Seriously there wont really be anything interesting found here. Anyway moving on, were very excited to start our blog. We're going to have loads of things going on here. Movie reviews, game reviews and previews, podcasts and general ramblings about the things that you never knew you wanted to know but listened to anyway. Anyway i'm going to assume your all quite bored by now and im tired after hours of work on this piece of crap so thats about all for now so be strong and stay frosty.
