Student tips for saving money!
So you're a student. You get around £2000 each term. Yet once the term ends
you have NO money left? Here are some Ajiey tips for saving money:
Savings accounts are very useful as long as you have the discipline to use
it. Whether you work, get student loan or both put a set fee or percentage into
your savings or ISA account and DON’T TOUCH IT! If you get £1700 student loan,
put £500 into the savings account and use the rest to spend. Doesn’t seem like
much at first but by the end of your second year you will notice it!
2. Set Budgets
What do you need, when do you need it? For instance when I start the first term
I know I will need a monthly Travel card for September, October, November and
December, let’s say three since Uni starts around mid-end September (including fresher’s
week) and ends around mid-December. So I know I need to budget of £300 to put
aside for travel cards. Do this for other things like books, food and even
parties.
3. Buy Drinks beforehand!
You going clubbing, buy your wine beforehand at your local Tesco, a £10
drink of wine will get you much tipsier than two £5 Vodka and Cokes from a
club. (I promote for a club and am telling you not to buy drinks from clubs;
they’re going to kill me). But remember… Drink responsibly ;).
4. Get a Student overdraft
Let’s play a game. The aim of the game is to have an overdraft but NOT go
into it. It’s simple but challenging. Make sure to get yourselves that student
overdraft service in case of an emergency but apart from that don’t go into it!
It’s best to stay out of getting more debts and being minus balance. But it is
good to have sometimes we overspend without knowing it, and having an overdraft
service allows you to go over, without stinging you with interest.
4. Use the cheaper services your University
offers.
The perks of being a student are getting student discounts, and services for
much cheaper rates. Be sure to cash in your student discounts wherever you go,
even if you think a place doesn’t do student discounts, still ask you might be
surprised (Nothing ventured, nothing gained). Your university probably has a
Gym. Use that instead of going to the more expensive ones! And milk your
student union for all the free stuff they offer. Notepads, Pens, Bags, and even
Condoms your student union should have all of those there and for FREE. So just
pop in and take some, got a lot of Student Union junk in my room :p. Especially
with the Condoms, walk in, take a handful and walk out… Don’t make eye contact
with anyone!
6. Be Smart!
Just because you now have £2000 in your bank doesn’t mean
you can go out and buy an £100 designer hat (Had a friend that did that) be
smart with your money, you might need it later on. Spend it on what you need
and treat yourself but don’t go around spending excessively on Clothes, parties
and other stuff; you’ll be surprised on how quickly that money can go.
7. Use cheaper
retailers
This ties in with the last point, but what annoys me is when
people insult Primark. I got a £20 leather coat and a £10 body warmer from
there almost 2 years ago, and I still wear them to this day. They are in
perfect condition and keep me warm and have even outlasted some coats I got
from more expensive shops. Just because the clothes cost less does not necessarily
make them less quality. I mostly buy my jeans from Primark too and they look
just like the jeans my friend wears which costs over double of what I paid. It’s
all about finding the best deals for the same product. Go Camden market and
look at their wares, shop at ASDA instead of the more expensive Sainsbury’s. All this saves money that can be used for
something else.
I hope some of this advice helped you.

Supers Prologue: 2
So hey, it’s me again. Here to continue my recount of London
after the “Event”. It took a few weeks
but I was eventually able to get my power under control and Blaze (As I call
it) whenever I want. At first it would only happen when I was angry or ‘heated
up’ (Get it?) but eventually I got it under control.
The first few weeks were by far the weirdest in terms of
getting used to everybody getting powers, it was all over the news, TV,
Facebook and Twitter (#MyNewAbility) and you can bet the Government capitalised
on it quickly. A new tax was declared for everybody that had powers or “Supers”
as they started calling them. A flying licence was also put into implementation
for all those that could fly, and only those who had permission were allowed to
fly and If caught flying without a licence then you could end up paying a huge
fine… “Flying in dangerous” they told us “We wouldn’t want accidents happening
in the air, therefore only trained professionals will be allowed to fly” made
it seem as if it was for our own good, but anyone could tell that it was the
Public Transport money they were worried about.
A lot happened during the first few months after this event
happened. As you can already guess, a bunch of costumed nerds joined forces and
started a Superhero team called “Team Justice”. Essentially it was just a bunch
of cosplayers who just wanted to walk up and down the streets dressed up as a
Superhero. I thought the trend would die out soon, and it was about to when the
first incident arose of a group of villains with abilities tried to rob a
Post-Office (I bet you thought I was going to say bank, naah, Banks are too
well protected, but a Post-Office is the next best thing) Though the villains
had certain powers they were no match for the ever growing army of “Team
Justice”. By now Team Justice was quite a big group and they were allowed to
establish themselves as a non-profit company with all their profit either going
into reinvestment or the Government. In return they were granted flying
licences and leave to use their powers as they wished.
The Government also saw that Supers were too strong for the
Police in general, especially those without powers; therefore they created the
Supers-Police, armed with new technology to help subdue rogue Supers. Ever
heard of restraint? They haven’t, always
going in guns blazing to every little problem.
The other month they had a lawsuit against them as they practically blew
up a shop chasing down a robber. Nobody was hurt however… well apart from the
robber who suffered several broken limbs and was in a coma for two weeks, all
because he stole some Basmati Rice.
Though despite the efforts of Team Justice and the
Supers-Police, Criminal groups also started popping up everywhere, one of the
major ones being the Hood Ratz… a crew in the south-London area that used their
abilities to mug and rob unsuspecting travellers. And they’re just one of the
groups of criminals out there.
Jeez, I’ve been talking about the world so much I totally
forgot the most important part… ME! Soo… what have I been doing since I got an
ability… Well I started Uni, and am sharing the upstairs of my older sister’s
apartment with Jerome and Jenna (one of my close cousins), Jerome goes to the
same uni as me; however Jenna is still in college, we also now take combat
classes once a week (Self-Defense, Kung Fu, Muai Thai have become quite popular
since the Supers event). There is always work to be done as Supers so we set up
a service to use our abilities to gain a bit of extra money, from cleaning cars
to being bodyguards.
So guys remember if you need a Super for hire email me @ Blaze553@Hotmail.co.uk with your job
and prices.

Rob Reviews: Prometheus
It’s been years since a truly great horror has been made. Paranormal Activity came close to
placing itself on the canon, amongst movies such as Rosemary’s Baby, The Shining, and The Thing, but it lacked the compelling characters and exciting
plots which make those three so terrifying to watch. So it’s no surprise, then,
that so many fans of Alien were (as I
myself was) buoyed by the prospect of the Xenomorphic mythology being revived
by the man who began the Alien
series. Ridley Scott, who, like the genres he made his best work in (Blade Runner and Alien) is in dire need of a great movie to remind us of the
artistry and filmmaking craft he (and Sci-Fi and Horror) can bring to
audiences. It’s been twelve years since Gladiator,
and thirty years since Blade Runner. It’s
been even longer since Alien.
So what is Prometheus?
Named after the titan of Greek mythology (Prometheus is ancient Greek for
‘Forethinker’) who gave humanity its first technology (fire) Prometheus tries to ask the questions
(or at least Scott and screenwriters Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof wanted it
to try) about the meaning of life – where did we come from? And how did we come
to be? They’ve stated this in interviews and promotional talks. Prometheus is based on the theory that
humanity benefited from a ‘Prometheus’ race in its evolution through Earth’s
exposure to Alien DNA. The principal
character of Prometheus, Dr Elizabeth
Shaw (played by Noomi Rapace), along with her doctor boyfriend Dr Charlie
Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green), discovers cave paintings around the world
which suggest the Prometheus theory.
Funding from the ever-present Weyland corporation (Yes, them. Bells
should ring for the Alien fans out there) enables Shaw and Holloway to explore
their theory to LV 223, a planet with similar conditions to Earth’s, to find
out where mankind came from. Meanwhile, an android named David (Michael
Fassbender) and the Weyland representative Meredith Vickers (Charlize Theron) oversee
the expedition. What happens in a horror movie? Things go awry, horrifically
so. Prometheus is no exception.
The questions are never asked
troubling enough to disturb. I went through the movie without feeling that
something profound was being addressed. A movie, interesting it may be on its
own has to have a bearing to the current reality of the audience to thoroughly
touch them. I didn’t feel that in Prometheus.
I did in Alien; it didn’t try to ask
those vague questions, ones a toddler can ask, the type of questions so many
artists fall for (Terence Malick’s worst movie? The Tree of life. What was its premise? The Origins of Man). Is
there any other question so solipsistic, so open to interpretation and
superstition? The aim of a movie, essentially, is to convince the audience of
something. Why then would a director take on something that cannot be argued
importantly?
Alien |
Dan O’Bannon’s screenplay for Alien was based on the artwork of the
Dutch Surrealist H.R. Giger, master of the grotesque. He found the artwork
sexually horrific, and wanted to create a monster which would conjure up the
disgusting nature of rape, of sexuality gone wrong. The history of the first Alien film is like the history of a
soft-core Porn film; the eggs of the iconic facehuggers originally opened into
two flaps, instead of the flower like four. Twentieth Century Fox ordered
Scott’s team to change the bi-segmented, obviously vaginal egg opening to the
quadruple-segmented organism. At the British censoring committee the reason
given for the 18+ rating of the movie was not the violence or the horror of the
movie. It was due to the movie being seen as too sexual for younger people. The
connotations of rape are evident in the design of the alien and the script. The
facehugger literally ‘rapes’ the face, forcibly impregnating the Alien’s future
host, and the victim dies horrifically in the trauma of the ‘childbirth’ of a
phallic-shaped Alien which bursts through the chest. Android Ash speaks with
near sexual love of the murderous adult alien. If questions about sex aren’t
raised in Alien, it certainly gives
people the shits about unprotected intercourse,
Alien: Facehugger |
But the visceral is dumped in Prometheus. Instead, we get a
comparatively dry movie without the disgust of the original Ridley movie. Dan
O’Bannon is dead, and the writers of such illustrious creations as Lost (Lindelof), flagship for all things ridiculous, and The Darkest Hour (Spaihts), a
movie lucky enough to get 11% at rotten tomatoes, are at the wheel. Ridley
could have got vastly superior screenwriters for such an ambitious project.
What about Alex Garland, writer of Danny Boyle’s Sunshine? Hell, Duncan Jones and Nathan Parker from Moon? A Ridley Sci-Fi movie should have
received more respect than it did, and Scott should have had more self-respect.
Or was it studio pressure? Either way, the screenplay doesn’t add up. The more
I think about this movie I find more flaws, plot holes and character
inconsistencies. The continuity errors alone are stupefying (I’ve also set a
mini-gauntlet for you readers. I’m not going to reveal them for the sake of
spoiler-prevention, so you’ll you’ll have to find them for yourself). After the
movie finished I left the cinema disappointed. Now I think it’s a miracle Prometheus in its current form got made.
I bet its screenplay looks like a badly sewn patchwork of first drafts, written
by more than the two writers of Spaihts and Lindelof. Were it not for the
excellent cast and the special effects, we’d have a movie on our hands that’d
rival the calamity of Godzilla (1998).
Ridley’s direction in Prometheus has nothing of the
claustrophobic intensity of Alien; it’s pretty standard horror-fare here. Michael
Fassbender is the best actor by far. As David, he has the chilly exterior of a
machine, but there is a childlike yearning for something more substantial in
his dealings with the other human characters and his involvement in the
Prometheus project. One of the opening scenes in the movie -very well done (one
of the few) - gives so much potential for the character, and gives so much for
Fassbender. He doesn’t waste, but he, like everyone else in Prometheus gets dogged down by the
shoddy craftsmanship of Lindelof and Spaihts. Elizabeth Shaw is a nonentity.
However much the writers and Scott insist audiences will conclude Ripley’s
inevitable tepid reincarnation arrives in Noomi Rapace’s character. She’s a bit
weak here though. But again this is down to the writing. Too many times
we are reminded of the main flaw in so many modern horror movies. We even have
stupid-character syndrome as a common affliction. It’s the kind where
horror-fodder for teenagers walks into a clearly dangerous situation with the
reckless oblivion suggestive of Harry and Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber.
Does Ridley get his great movie?
Do the genres of Sci-Fi and Horror get their much needed revitalisation? No. A
little more effort and the thing could have taken off. Just fire those damn
screenwriters.

Supers Prologue: Part 1
So… Where do I begin?
My name is Luke… Though a lot of people call me Blaze, a
shortened version of my online ID Blaze553, I’m 18, currently at university…
I’m single… What more is there to say? Oh yeah! I can set my body on fire!
Haven’t always been able to do the last one, happened
roughly a year ago, was having an argument with my sister, got angry and Boom!
I was on fire. It felt… normal. Didn’t even know I was on fire until my sister
screamed ‘YOU’RE ON FIRE’ and I looked down at my hands to discover that she
was right.
I did what any normal person would do in that situation… Ran
around screaming ‘I’M ON FIRE…” Almost set the whole house on fire but my
sister was able to get the hose in time and soaked the whole house before it
got too bad.
Seems I wasn’t the only one, the talk of the town was ‘look
what I can do!’ and the things I saw that morning made me question my sanity.
One man grabbed his wife and floated a few feet into the air, another was
casually teleporting as opposed to walking, seems he couldn’t teleport very far
however, but it was still weird. And things didn’t get any better once I
reached College.
I met up with Jerome as soon as I got into college, or as I
like to call him ‘The Brute’. Jerome is a current roommate of mine and one of
my closest friends; he was also the biggest guy in our class, and loves to
train every muscle in his body except the one in his head, seriously… If he
isn’t in the Gym he’s either eating or sleeping.
He had nothing new to say… Squat this, squat that, bench
press 700kg bla bla bla…. ‘I’ve heard it all before’ I told him, but that day
he gave me a serious look as if I was missing something. He repeated 700kg and
I asked him how much that weighed when he replied that it was MUCH more than he
or any human should be able to lift. I trusted him on that. Though he might not
know much about world affairs or history but when it came to the physics of the
human body he was Einstein.
So he recounted to me the experience of this morning and how
he noticed that he could run faster and jump a hell of a lot higher than humans
were supposed to. He also had the same
experience as me that morning, watching people as they did things that defied
logic.
So the conclusion was that everybody was getting strange
powers. But the question was...
What caused all of this?

Supers the Prologue series...
Though I may be getting ahead of myself here and we haven't even started on the comic yet, I feel that we need to get the Supers ball rolling. So I have created a prologue from Blaze's point of veiw which takes place before the Supers series begins. The first part of the prologue should be out around this weekend (Probably friday or saturday) and should give you some insight into the Supers world before the actual series begins. I hope you enjoy.

Ajiey Blogs 2 + Dango Soup 4: MMOChoice
This is a 2-in-1 Post today as I have left it too long without doing a blog on the MCM Expo which happened a Week ago. Also have page 4 of Dango Soup as well for those of you who enjoy Dango Soup. So firstly there are a couple of things I want to address in this Blog.
1. MCM Expo
So the MCM Expo/ London Comic-Con was last weekend, ranging from Friday, Saturday and Sunday and I couldn't have asked for a better 20th Birthday (Saturday 26th of may). It was one of the most craziest-fun day's I've had in a long time!
It was my first event in general that I was promoting my work and have never done it before. Despite how prepared I thought I was on Friday, it turned out nothing could have prepared me for my first expo. I showed up with a few flyers and few copies of Fantasy World while others near me had full-fledged stalls and was also next to the Adsf/ Eddsworld stalls. So yeah I felt like a sheep surrounded by lions.
It was my first event in general that I was promoting my work and have never done it before. Despite how prepared I thought I was on Friday, it turned out nothing could have prepared me for my first expo. I showed up with a few flyers and few copies of Fantasy World while others near me had full-fledged stalls and was also next to the Adsf/ Eddsworld stalls. So yeah I felt like a sheep surrounded by lions.
By about 1:00 on Saturday we were nearly sold out of Fantasy World copies and had to get my mum to restock me. Along with a whole batch of flyer's and by the end of the day we had only 10 copies left.
From what people told me about Sunday, I was doubting that I would make that many sales on that day too but I brought the rest of my Fantasy World stock from home just in case (As I learnt from Saturday, always better to have too much than too little). And to our surprise... By the end of the day we had sold out.
Overall I'm really happy about this as my first expo and I didn't think people would be that responsive to Fantasy World... But It seems I gathered quite a few FW fans :). And would like to say THANK YOU to all the wonderful people I met at the Expo... You know who you are, you helped make my first Expo and my Birthday AWESOME and one of the best birthdays I've had in a long time... A Special thanks to Ajiey Media's Sarkazz (John King) and Mo (Mohammed Hussain) who helped me throughout the weekend... Couldn't have done nearly as well without you.
2. Fantasy World
After the positive response and demand for it at the MCM Expo I have been inspired to get on with developing the continuation of the story (Chapters 2,3,4 etc). However as you know, I don't do the art for Fantasy World and instead employ an artist to do the work, Which can be 1... Expensive and 2...Quite hard. The initial stages of finding an artist and then being abe to convince them into agreeing with your budget can be quite hard. Setting up a Business with a Student Loan budget is very taxing. Whereas some students are broke because they spend too much on Drinking, Clothes and partying... I'm broke because I'm spending too much on developing comics, Ajiey Media promotion, OH... and Food... I love Food :). Shows as much, it's Saturday night and I'm at home writing this blog instead of out with my friends partying at Flagz! But then again I've been to two parties this week, three would've been overdoing it... How did I get sidetracked... Anyway as I was saying, I am hoping to get the next chapter (at least) out by the next expo. But it's up to if I find an artist within my budget to work with in time.
3. Dystopia: The Telepath
Even if it's bad news and Fantasy World isn't out by the next expo... Don't worry as Dystopia: The Telepath chapter 1 will be out by then. Dystopia: The Telepath is another comic series primarily written by Darasimi Makinde. If you wish to learn more about it, read some of the background HERE on the Wikia. It takes a more serious tone than the comedy-based Fantasy World but it is sure to make you want to read more!
4. MORE Content?!?
Here at Ajiey Media we always strive to get new and interesting content and now that University isn't holding me back I will be able to max out Ajiey Media this summer. Which means... Yes... MORE CONTENT! From Dango Soup, to Comedy skit videos, Short stories... Longer stories and the works :). So stay on the site to keep updated. We also hope to be moving to a better site soon. This site has served its purpose well and good but it seems that we need more.
5. Dango Soup: MMOChoice
Now what you've all been waiting for... This weeks Dango Soup (Though this ain't a weekly thing!). So it's a dilemma I've had since the beginning of the holiday. Though I probably won't have time to play them properly, it's something nice to spend an hour on now and again.

Rob Reviews: The Dictator
This is Sacha Baron Cohen’s fourth film in which he is the
driving force behind its creation; the movies he’s had the greatest success
with have been the one where he’s had the most creative control. Before The
Dictator there was Ali G Indahouse,
Borat and Brüno.
It
was Borat which made Baron Cohen a
superstar and earned him critical praise for his innocently misogynist, racist
and homophobic Kazakh journalist. Brüno was
similar in terms of controversy and praise. Both films follow a similar form;
both are about reporters who travel to America to seek their dreams whilst the
fictional characters encountering real life situations and people. The Dictator is a more conventional
movie in the style of the Ali G film.
Ali G Indahouse failed, and for many
of the same reasons The Dictator fails
too.
Admiral-General Aladeen (SBC) is the ruler of the fictional North
African country Wadiya. He indulges in classic dictator behaviour and vices; he
has armies of female bodyguards (Gaddafi), aspirations to head a nuclear state
(Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong-il, Saddam), and sits on some major fraction of the
world’s oil supply (Ahmadinejad, Saddam, everyone in the Middle East who was
kicked out by the Arab Spring.) Oh, and hands out death sentences like… Aladeen
is manipulated into journeying to the U.S. to give a speech to the U.N., where
he is kidnapped and supplanted by an Aladeen lookalike (SBC again). After
managing to escape from his captors Aladeen ends up working in a communal store
run by a passionate feminist (Anna Faris) whilst he tries to wrest back his
dictatorship from the soon to be democratised Wadiya.
One of the main draws of Borat
and Brüno
was
its air of unpredictability and danger. Who knows what’s going to happen when a
Kazakh reporter sings his national anthem in the tune of The Star Spangled Banner to a crowd of rednecks in Bible belt
America? Who knows what’s going to happen when a gay Austrian fashion reporter
tells the leader of the West Bank’s Al-aqsa’s Matyr Brigade that Bin Laden
looks like a “homeless Santa”? The crudity of the jokes works well here because
of the collision of opposites. When it’s a feature length movie without such
instances Baron-Cohen loses his brilliance and niche. The same thing was lost
in Ali G’s transition from interviews and sketches to a feature length film.
The jokes in The Dictator are
laborious and underwritten. Painful is a scene in a helicopter where references
to 9/11 are made. The character of Aladeen is too much like Borat as well.
Close your eyes during his exchanges with Anna Faris’ character and the accents
of Borat and Aladeen are indistinguishable. Faris herself is given barely
anything to work on; her character is just a butt of many of the script’s
jokes. Ben Kingsley has even less.
It’s depressing how much the great comedian is off form here. What
matters is not the controversy over its themes and ideas, but the movie’s
quality. The Dictator is a dud.

Dango Soup: Pg1
PREVIOUS NEXT
Ever wondered where I got the small characters with the straight eyes from? Well this webcomic explains where the original idea... originated. The Dango Daikazoku theme from Clannad (Still one of my favourite songs to this date), It's such a cute and simple theme with a relaxing-ish melody... I decided to try doing Dango-ish character of me... Back when this was just a blog for myself. As more people started joining me I ended up doing Dango characters for them to keep in with the theme.
P.s was also where I got the idea for the the Ajiey Theme

Avengers Review!
At first I was sceptical even though everybody I knew was telling me how amazing the movie was.
I seem to remember a similar situation last year where everyone was going on about the Xmen: First Class movie and when I saw that movie I was terribly disappointed!
But I might get onto that in another post. So I had low hopes for the movie going in, however I kept an open mind as I usually do when going to see movies. The movie started off well and continued getting better as it went along.
The Plot was very basic however "Evil Villain threatens the world, group of heroes join up to beat him" though everything else was great. The movie had enough jokes to be classified as a comedy and most of which had the cinema roaring in laughter... Especially a certain scene towards the end involving Hulk and Loki. The characters and character development was another thing I also liked. Previously hating Iron Man (Never watched the movies as the Iron Man cartoon I watched when I was a kid was awful, never really gave him a chance after that), after I saw the Avengers he become one of my favourite heroes... I even had to go back and watch both the Iron Man movies to get a better foundation on his back story.
Though the movie did have a very simple plot, how the plot was played out was really good I find, as along with their fight against their enemy there are also tensions growing between the heroes which adds quite a lot to the story and makes out for some very funny situations.
Overall I'd give it a solid 8.5 out of 10 it's been the best movie I've seen for a very long time and would say it's a must watch! Its 3D effects are also done quite well if you don't mind paying the extra money. OH and definitely wait until the end of the credits there's something extra you might want to see.
P.S
