A guide for the modern gent who likes good living. You'll find tech, travel, cars, TV, music and everything else all us guys are interested in. Whether it's watches, the best TV and films or tech, if it's to do with life and it's popular, it's here.
I am so happy that I was able to get one. Just like the NES Mini Classic which was released last year, Nintendo announced the Super Nintendo Classic Mini back in June, and I pre-ordered one with the hopes of getting it. But as you know with things like this, something can go wrong.
If you got one then you already know how fun it is, but if you haven’t here’s everything you need to know about it, including the unboxing.
I hope you’ve had a great weekend so far. Last time I watched Now You See Me 2, and this weekend I watched The Take, aka Bastille Day which stars Idris Elba.
I’ve seen a few people talk about their EDC, which (apparently) is an acronym for Every Day Carry, i.e. the essentials that men walk around with in their daily life. What do you usually carry around? What can’t you leave the house without? I’ve done a few posts like this before, but I’ll have a bit of a refresh and show you what I carry, and it’s not really a lot! 😀
For some people they use this as a photo opportunity to show off all the crap they have, and try to wedge it into the photo so it looks good. For the usual lifestyle stuff, I don’t think you really need to carry a lot, not in Newcastle at least. I’ve seen a few people who talk about penknives and other things, I guess they’re American or live out in the country, because there’s no chance you need something like that in your actual every day life.
A few years ago I heard about the film Napoleon Dynamite but I had never got round to watching it. I recently discovered it was on Amazon Prime, so I decided it would be the perfect chance to watch it, so I did. WOW, it’s such a terrible film!
Have you seen those “Vote for Pedro” T-shirts? I saw them years ago, but never knew where they came from or what they were about. Well it’s to do with this film, and it has a cult following so those T-shirts are popular with the fans of this film. What’s it about and why is it so bad?
I hope you’ve had a good weekend. Last week for my film night I watched The Edge Of Seventeen, and this time round I watched Now You See Me 2, the sequel to the film which I watched a few years back. The old gang are back together, the four horsemen, all except Henley who was played by Isla Fisher, who’s been replaced by Lula May who’s played by Lizzy Caplan. The film continues on from the previous one, with the remaining members of the Four Horsemen hiding out in New York City 18 months after getting past the FBI, with Dylan Rhodes who begins still an FBI agent and leader of the group.
Autumn is here! It’s been getting darker and darker earlier and the weather has gotten much colder, even for the North East of England! 🙁 I’ll be getting out my jumpers, knits and Autumn/Winter clothes really soon, but for now, I’ve added a couple of new things which I’ve recently got.
First up I got a sweatshirt from Adidas Originals. I think that over the past year or two sweatshirts have became cool again.
So as I wrote about a while ago, I went ahead and got Amazon Prime which includes Amazon video over a month ago, and I’ve watched a couple of things on there, so I thought I would give it a little bit of a review.
If you don’t know what it is, Amazon Prime is a service from Amazon which you pay for which gets your free next day deliveries for a year; The service expanded and now includes free music and also free TV shows and films from their Amazon Video collection. It was on offer for £59/year, so I decided to get it since I shop a lot on Amazon.
I also watch a few films, many I’ve reviewed here on the blog, so I thought it would be a good thing to have.
They say they have over 5,000 films, that sounds like a huge amount! I have been buying Blu Rays for years, many of them I only watch once, so I thought this may stop me buying Blu Rays and I’ll use Amazon Video all the time. However, it won’t, and here’s why…
I love watches, and I’ve had so many over the years. I like to wear different watches for different occasions, whether it’s going out or just an everyday occasion, I always wear a watch. I’ve been looking for a new watch for every day, and I have finally got one, I went for the Lugano from Larsson And Jennings.
I hope you’re having a good Tuesday. We’ve had some brilliant weather over the past few days, and that’s coming to an end (apparently) tomorrow so I made the most of the rain-less days and got out and took a couple of shots in my new check shirt I got from Mango Man in the sale.
When it comes to check shirts I really love them, but I only love a particular style. I like so many checks and patterns, but my favourite are buffalo prints, or checks which are medium-large in size, just like this shirt. The really large “plaid like” checks and squares can look a bit too big for my liking, and although I do like smaller “gingham like” checks, the type I am wearing here is by far my favourite. Whenever I see shirts in this pattern I am drawn to them, and always consider buying them, and in this case, I did.
Happy Friday! I can’t believe that the week is almost over already and the weekend is (almost!) here. The days and weeks seem to go so quickly, the Summer is slowly disappearing and soon it will be gone which is something I hate! I better make the most of Summer style while I can 😉
One of my favourite styles for summer are nautical stripes. I have several nautical striped tees, from dark tops with light stripes, to light T-shirts with darker stripes, I’ve got them all. This is one of the nautical tops I got from ASOS last Summer, and it’s still in really good condition and is something I really like wearing. For my style of the week I have kept the look simple with only this top and a pair of black denim.
For the shoes I have gone for Kurt Geiger, and picked my suede derby shoes. The good thing about the warmer weather is that I can wear these without fear of damaging them in rain or puddles…Although it looks like I am too late, I wore these out one night and got them splashed. I should have used some suede protector, sadly I didn’t, and they’re now marked. I may try to get them back to a better condition.
I own a lot of sunglasses, too many in fact. I actually only wear 2-3 pairs these days, and usually switch between two, both Ray Ban. I have both of the classics, the aviators and the wayfarers, and for this look I’ve gone for wayfarers.
Last weekend I went out and had a blast, and this weekend I have no plans, although that may change. I will be happy to just relax this week and do nothing, not go out, and not go out-out, but that doesn’t mean that’s how it’s going to work out 😛
Have a great Friday guys! 🙂 (a few more pics below…)
