    I much prefer the Gaf Collection set - definitely more 'hits' than 'misses' in that one. I really like the Criterion design work anyway, so that's a good basis.

    Also, I think the Penguin Classics-inspired pseudo-book design idea grew quite stale quite quickly - I haven't seen many that measure up to the original pieces that kicked it off, designed by Olly Moss (flickr set here), which were designed to mimic the design aesthetics very closely, after a similar set of film posters he designed, called 'Eight Films in Black and Red' (here).

    Incidentally, we were at university together, and were in a couple of the same seminar groups. It's quite weird to be reading your daily blogs and sites, and then see a semi-friend get mentioned.

    The design he seems to be mimicing is more of the Saul Bass, 60s-80s posters. Kinda like the style used in "Burn after Reading".

    What was he like at university ?! Was he awesome , oh man, I wish I knew someone famous too...

    Fair enough. I suspected as much, but wasn't actually sure either way. Hard to tell sarcasm on teh internets.

    Fun fact: A female friend of mine does not bother to see anything recent with James McAvoy in it because, and I quote, "I already saw his cock in Last King of Scotland. What else could he show me?"

    Hehehe.

    Is she attractive... ?

    Same here. I read the a paragraph introducing some random guy in a bar a few times over. The detail and the quality of the writing is unbelievable. The story is probably the deepest of any game I've played.

    "Before you is a tall silent figure. he could easily pass for a statue-although the deep furrows in his face and brow make you wonder if the sculptor was a little too eager in defining the face with the chisel.He looks well over fifty years old...but exactly how much over fifty, its hard to tell. As he slowly turns to look at you , you catch the dull sheen of copper in his eyes."

    On the adventure game crowd :

    "It's like, when I was in high school, I really liked the Ramones, and it was me and just this one other girl in the whole senior class who liked the Ramones. We would talk about it like it was a secret club when everyone else was listening to Journey. We'd always say we wished they were bigger. But I think deep down, part of us liked that it was an exclusive thing, like only we appreciated them. We identified with that, because in some ways you're saying, 'No one appreciates us.'"
