The London MCM Expo weekend starts here.  If you're going, you're more than welcome to come along to the extra events I'll be doing.  There's a load of celebs like Danny DeVito attending, and you'll be able to play loads of new video games, as well as seeing tons of Cosplayers and seeing the Cosplay Masquerade on Saturday and Sunday, then there's shopping at all the stalls to get your anime, manga, pocky, or maybe even some rare figures.  Don't be scared to come and say hi to me if you see me, I'm there to make new friends as well as meet up with old ones, and if you want to attend anything I've got planned, then please do...

Thursday - from around 7pm - Namco Arcade (near London Eye)
If there's enough people up for it, I'll be running a air hockey tournament.  Only problem with this is for everyone... I'm going to win.  ;)

Friday - from 7pm - Friday Night Games Meet - Inside West Entrance of ExCeL
There's some fun games going on.. Magic The Gathering, YuGiOh, and Mario Kart DS Vs Mario Kart 7.  It's a good way to meet new people and catch up with some friends.  This is an official London Expo Fringe event.

Sunday - from 8.15pm - Sunday Night Football - East ExCeL Car Park near Premier Inn / Ramada
This is going to be insane, a singles football championship.  The winner will get some Pocky and the football, as well as having a lot of fun with everyone else.

All Weekend
Have fun, enjoy the Expo, and if you have a Nintendo 3DS, make sure it's switched on so we can all get loads of StreetPass.  See you in London.

News just in.  Danny DeVito wil be attending the London MCM Expo in May 2012.  Next week, Danny will be at the biggest event of the year.  How cool is that?

I'll be making my 4th London MCM Expo news video this Monday to talk about this, and some other celebrities that are attending.  I'll also be writing up my pre-Expo blog with all my events, and of course the Magic The Gathering rules for the Friday Night Games Meet.  I'll likely make one more video on Wednesday before I leave for London, but it'll just be a blog.  I'm so excited for this event, it'll be the best one ever.

In other news...  I've got three new blogs up today.  Avengers Assemble quickie review, my thoughts on football and Man City winning the title, and a little look at the new Tesco site in Worksop.  It's all good, and come June, it'll get a lot better with a shed load of new London MCM Expo videos on Tonyo Times and Team Times.

Soooo, only a week to go before we have to pack ready for the biggest event of the year, well it is on my calendar anyway, how about yours?  If you haven't got your tickets yet, go to www.LondonExpo.com and buy the weekend pass.  Then make sure you go from Thursday to Monday and have a classic weekend of epic fun.  It's all go from the moment we hit London, from going to Forbidden Planet to Namco Arcade, and I've got a games meet going on Friday evening, and a epic singles football game on Sunday.  That's just a few of the things.  At Expo itself, there are celebrities to meet, lots of things to buy, TONS of cosplayers, and the big event.. the Cosplay Masuqerade.  Ohhh, you have to be there, and if you can't make it, get saving for October.  Oh yes!

Making videos opens a world of discoveries.  This week, I started making my brand new Worksop videos.  I'm hopefully going to do a weekly video about Worksop by having a gander in the Worksop Guardian and talking about a piece of news that isn't the biggest article, but something that needs to be mentioned.
When I put my Worksop Pedestrians video up, on the featured videos beside my vid, there was something that caught my eye.  A motorcyclist in London revealed stupid pedestrians running in front of him, all with help from a helmet cam.  I can relate to that being a cyclist and always having morons just walk in the road, and cars having no respect for the two wheeled riders.  I checked some of his other videos out which films stupid taxi drivers and other motorists, and I think it's well worth a look.  Check out Premises187 on YouTube now and have some fun, and don't forget to subscribe.  I'm a fan of London too with me going to the MCM Expo twice a year, and roaming the streets on the day beforre the event, so it's a lot of fun seeing this sort of thing as well.
Talking of Expo... only two weeks to go!

At the May 2012 London MCM Expo, Ali Hillis will be attending talking about her work on Final Fantasy XIII-2, as she voiced the character, Claire 'Lightning' Ferron.  Ali is also famous for being in a few US shows and movies, and has done voice acting for other games such as Dead Or Alive Paradise, Ninja Gaiden 3, Saints Row 3, Mass Effect, and Star Wars: Old Republic.
Other stars at Expo joining Ali Hillis will be Noel Clarke and Cassandra Peterson.

Also at Expo, I'll be hosting the Friday Night Games Meet and Sunday Night Football.  It's going to be a great weekend, just try and make sure you're there.

In 4 months time, you'll be witnessing what is probably the comedy of the year.  Keith Lemon will be bringing his life story to the big screen with a bunch of celebrity friends.  I can see Kelly Brook will be getting a main role and Keith will be sharing a bed with her too.
I've been reading a few things on Twitter about how much fun Kelly Brook and Leigh Francis (who plays Keith Lemon) had while filming.  For that fact, and with Leigh Francis being one of the funniest blokes on TV, that'll definitely mean I head to the cinema to see the movie.  I know I'm already buying the DVD.

In other news... Trials Evolution is epic!  I'll be starting my road to the Expo videos and blogs from the beginning of May!  Plus... from tomorrow, there will be a 5th TT Magic The Gathering champion.  GO!

Our amazing government is doing it again, making people's lives a misery.  This time they're planning to close Remploy factories by August 2012.  Remploy are brilliant for giving work to those who otherwise couldn't work at all, it's created new communities of people and helps many people in this biased country.  So David Cameron and his set of corrupt liars are going to make cuts where they're not needed and close Remploy.  Labour did some questionable things, but the ConDems are killing the United Kingdom.
There's a rally on the 20th of April in Sheffield.  If you want to join in and try and stop the closures, try and be there.  You can find more on... www.facebook.com/SaveRemploy

The new Magic The Gathering set is released soon titled Avacyn Restored.  Thankfully it's putting some light into the darkness that was Innistrad and Dark Ascension.  I was getting a bit fed up with those two sets to be honest and was hoping the new set would be a bit more colourful.  I'm looking forward to Magic The Gathering 2013 to see if they put another Phantasmal Bear in it.  If it shows up again, I'll start a whole new wave of destruction on the damn bear.  It's been destroyed 7 times already, I have plenty more ways to get rid of that stinking oaf!  MTG 2013, keep it out, along with all other Phantasmal muppets.

In other news... Easter has just gone, now we're getting ready for Christmas again.  Ooohhhh yeah!

Just do me a favour, click this DEAD OR ALIVE 5 link.  Now tell me what you think.  It's scheduled for a September 2012 release and I really can't wait.  I've got my fingers crossed that the game will be playable at the May 2012 London MCM Expo.  I think so far, this is my 'must buy' game of 2012.
Recently, me and my wife have been playing on our 3DS's quite a lot, not just for StreetPass and Mario Kart 7, but for Dead Or Alive Dimensions.  The game has really brought back the whole beat 'em Up genre for me, and Caroline probably loves it more than I do.  Come September, we'll both be playing the 5th game in the series.  Epic stuff.

In other news... On the 4th of April, we'll be seeing who's the 4th Champion of Magic The Gathering.  Results will be up as soon as I'm back from the game, along with photos.  Just a sneak peak, I'll be there with my Elf deck, and I do intend to have victory.

After a crap first quarter of 2012, now it's time to look forward to the rest of the year and get through it without it blowing up or something.  I'm going to have a better time by looking forward to April and May.

If you want to have a good read, the new Team Times WordPress has kicked off really well.  My latest blog on there talks about a Magic The Gathering event in April, and the London MCM Expo at the end of May.  I'm even looking at having a Football competition on the Sunday night of Expo, the winner would get a box of Pocky and lots of glory.

In other news, Matthew Wolfenden won Dancing On Ice, Jenna-Louise Coleman will be the new assistant to Doctor Who (thank God), and Royal Mail put first class stamps up to 60p each... but that's your fault.

We have a brand new Magic The Gathering Champion.  A League sponsored by Tonyo Times, and a prize of a Meerkat.  Sam became the third Magic League Champion.  Well done to him.  The fourth League will be established soon, probably around April time at Patriot Games in Sheffield.

In other news... Team Times blogs will no longer be based on the Tonyo Times website.  From today, members will be blogging on the new WordPress site named Team Times Code Red.  The new project title of Code Red will be appearing more in the near future.

Talking of competitions and stuff, mark in your diaries the Thursday night before London MCM Expo.  I'll be hosting a new knockout Air Hockey game, it'll be fast, epic, and there can be only one master!  There's also the Friday night meet at ExCeL with lots of other games and competition.  Watch this space.

This week brings you a new layout of the Tonyo Times homepage.  Not sure if it'll go down well, please contact me if you're not too keen on it and tell me what you'd like to see.  I've made Team Times updates so you can see your favourite members, and the new updates from the crew will see their links rise to the top.  You can check out my videos, new photos, and find my stuff a little easier at the top of the page too.  Any links you want to check out like my YouTube channels, Twitter, and other crap, that's nicely laid out now.  Hope you like it.

In other news... This Tuesday will see a Team Times meet of a different kind.  Check out new photos and videos coming around Wednesday next week to see what happened.  It's going to be very interesting.

I am looking around for games that everyone can get either cheap or free for the Team Times Olympics 2012.  So I can announce today that the second game is Tower Bloxx, or other variations that are on other formats.  The game is more or less the same.  I myself am playing the Xbox 360 game that is available on Arcade Marketplace.

Check out some game scores and subscribe to the Team Times channel.  There's a lot more on there too.  www.youtube.com/TeamTimes 

Sonic The Hedgehog, Green Hill Zone event is now in full swing.  There will be a couple more games coming up soon and little events being made up on Fifa and Mario Kart 7.  Watch this space.  Check the results in the Events section of Tonyo Times.

The Team Times Olympics have begun, starting with Sonic The Hedgehog.  Members of the team have to get high scores on the original Green Hill Zone, and that's not all.  There are three different events.. Quickest time, quickest finishing with 50 Rings, and quickest with 100 Rings.  Three gold medals will be given out at the end of March.

If you have a team and are interested in taking on Team Times at anything in the future, please do get in touch.  I am looking for rival blogging teams on the internet to make our lives a little more interesting.

If you're interested in the above event, click the link and join in the fun.

If anyone's interested in joining the best dance group, who feature heavily at London MCM Expo, auditions are now open.  Check out their YouTube channel now and don't fail to subscribe, and if you're a dancer and would like to know more about joining them, leave them a message.  www.youtube.com/user/MKDanceUK 

Tonight at 7.30pm, go to www.MCMBuzz.com and click on the podcast and enter the chatroom.  Hosted by Stuart (The Claw) and Joe (Granny Gertrude), they'll be telling you about the Midlands Expo from last week, and also dicussing things about the future events, Memorabilia and London MCM Expo.

Also tonight, at around 9pm, after the MCM Buzz Podcast, Team Times will be online playing Mario Kart 7.  Put the community code in your 3DS, stated above, to join in and play some Mario Kart 7.  It'll be a laugh, and you can have a go at trying to beat me.

The Brit Awards are on, and thankfully Adele has won an award, she is very talented.  Bruno Mars is well deserved of a prize too.  But what are people thinking with the Rhianna thing and One Direction.  I'm going to get so slated for the Rhianna thing, so to make things worse, thank goodness Cher Lloyd wasn't in the awards!  Go on then, have a go, it's not my fault there's a bunch of talentless big heads in the music industry.

In other news... Greece is doomed!  Israel will probably get nuked by Iran!  Syria won't get any help internationally because they have no oil!  Finally, the world will go boom when they turn the Hadron Collider on again next month trying to break into another dimension!  Congratulations, the planet has gone mad!

This weekend, the Midlands MCM Expo hits Telford International Centre once again.  Joining British celebrities, Warwick Davis and Tom Hopper.. Hironobu Sakaguchi.  The creator of Final Fantasy is here all the way from Japan to talk to the people attending the Midlands Expo.  It'll be an amazing moment for many gamers, so if you can get to the event on 18th February 2012, then well done, you're meeting one of the greatest game creators of our time.
The Expo will contain all the usual fun of meeting all your friends, making new ones, seeing all the cosplayers, and spending money on plushies and other collectables.  I can't make it due to work, so I'm hoping to see photos and videos after this Saturday.  See you in London and Manchester later in the year.

It's a cold month again.  We've been hit with snow in the UK, and at the Peace Gardens in Sheffield, the water balls have frozen.  That's amazing, it's like art.  I'm happy I was able to get a photo of this, maybe something so simple but also very cool.

I have quite a few videos coming up over the next week.  My Games and My Movies have had a filming boost as I met up with a few members of Team Times this week.  There's epic funny videos coming very soon.  Keep watching Tonyo Times to see more.

There are quite a few decent movies coming our way.  The one I'm really excited about is The Hobbit, that will be a cracking film... films!  It comes in two parts, so hopefully they'll do the book justice.
The one that I'm following at the moment is the new Riddick movie.  If you follow Vin Diesel's Facebook, you'll see he's putting behind the scenes photos up and revealing some of his work.  He's very good to his fans, so if you like his work, make sure you add him.  I can't wait.  He'll be filming Fast Six as well soon which comes out next year. 

Team Times is looking really epic with new members this month.  Carrie, Jackson, Laura, Rachel and Rick have joined the team and will be making some awesome blogs.  By the end of February, Team Times will be 30 members strong.  The year hasn't even really started yet either for TT.

It's always exciting to see your own town on TV.  Worksop being on Coppers for a full hour was a real treat, the only downfall of this.. it was full of criminals.  At least it shows our Police doing a fine job.  I hope our local criminals now realise how stupid they can look and it'll improve the town a bit.  Is that wishful thinking?

There's new blogs from myself and Team Times, so make sure you check those out.  I'm hoping to bring back my e-mag next week with blogs and videos, it'll be nice to bring that back for 2012.  I'll also be filming new videos today and tomorrow, giving my opinions on some movies for the Team Times channel, and making a couple of games videos and Ramdomacious for Tonyo Times.

Firstly, I'd like to welcome Rick back to Team Times.  He re-joined this week and will be making his first come-back blog very soon.

I am now looking for rival blogging sites to take on Team Times at online games, and hopefully some form of games at the coming London MCM Expo's.  If any members of Team Times would like to leave to create their own groups, I'd be more than happy to support them.  It'd make some fun rivalry.
We have launched our Tumblr site this week, so have a look at the Team Times page and make sure you follow us on there, and Twitter if you like that sort of thing.

Oh the photo... check out Bloggetry in the media section, all will make sense then.

I made a start to my videos in this new year.  I made a new blog complaining about my year so far, which isn't good.  I made a start on one of my new series, My Manga.  Talking about one of the latest volumes of Naruto is where I begin, and there will be more soon.  I'll be making new series' soon about games, movies, and anime.  I won't be forgetting about the mad stuff either.  2012 will be fun and it'll give me lots of media to do.  I'm concentrating on Worksop blogs too, must make a video soon though.

It's been a week since the new year began, and so far it's been crap!  About 2 hours into 2012 and my heater broke, and now there's more wind than ever and our neighbours' chimney pot blew off on to our house and broke some tiles.  Bloody wonderful.

At least you'll be getting new videos in the coming weeks.  Coming very soon is the video footage shot in Sheffield when me and some other Team Times members walked from Sheffield Space Centre, all the way to Meadowhall.  Not that far really, but going to places along the way dragged it out.  Other videos will be new series' of Randmacious, Bloggetry, and the first episode of My Manga.

Here's my final update for the year 2011.  No more blogs until January 2012, but maybe a couple of Randomacious videos, and I'll be sure to film something ready for the new year.
Coming in 2012, as you might be able to already see the changes I've made to the website if you're a regular here.  I'll be doing quite a bit more in 2012.  My characters will have more focus with Jeremy Ranfection doing Jeremy's Joypad, and a new character will be popping up sometime in January to scare the crap out of you.
I'll be starting up my old Chick Awards again.  If you ever followed my old stuff a few years back, you'll know I used to harass celebrities for their autograph and send them a little fluffy chicken.  I got a few, so a new page will be dedicated to that.  There's so much going on.
There's loads more to come, but before then, have fun on New Year's Night.  Have a lot of laughs and see you in the brand new year of 2012.  Peace out.
