  1. How can this not be awesome?

    Man I've been waiting a long time for some new Kaufman movie to do nasty things to my mind.
  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    I got to see The Fall a few days ago and it's really pretty, imaginative, spectacular and full of heart. See it. It has Blue Skies. BTW, the guy who portrays Roy in The Fall is also in a show called Pushing Daisies, which I really like. The show looks really, really Disney sugar coated, but is a bit deeper and darker than it looks like on the surface. Not too dark, though. It also has Blue Skies.
  3. Hey, thanks for answering my question. I got more than I expected The Wizard song rocked!
  4. Rick Astley wins Best Act Ever!!!

  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    I really liked the first episode, but the rest have merely been entertaining enough to keep me watching. I guess enough time has passed that company execs feel a new X-Files will sell.
  6. Þe Olde Videogame Muzak

    Some great use of the simple synth there with the wooshing sounds (reminds me of Vangelis' Blade Runner soundtrack), and a nice little motif, but doesn't really say 'RoboCop' to me... Especially when the actual RoboCop theme is phenomenal.
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    I like M. Night Shyamalan. I thought The Lady in the Water was a nice movie with heart and personality. Maybe The Village was a bit poor and Signs was bloody stupid towards the end, but Unbreakable is one of my favourite movies. So I like M. Night Shyamalan, he has vision. That said, The Happening was ass. Worthless from the beginning to the end. M. Night Shyamalan needs someone to slap him when he gets stupid ideas.
  8. Þe Olde Videogame Muzak

    The Hitman series. I particularly like the music from the first game because it's not orchestral. From ye olden times, nothing gives me a stronger rush of nostalgia than the music from the first Gabriel Knight game.
  9. Rain Slick episode 2

    I downloaded the demo, but no luck Won't run on this 'puter. Too bad, I really liked the first one.
  10. Manny says: vote no on 8

    If I close my eyes all I see is Manny...
  11. Why, because the buggers failed to find a big enough venue? I kid, it's great. I didn't expect that to happen at all.
  12. Prince of Awesome

    Looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is playing the Prince. He's very pale.
  13. Also, I've been sick since Friday :/
  14. Far Cry 2

    I just read the Eurogamer review. I don't get why this game is called Far Cry 2. Where's the hyper-cliched sci-fi plot?
  15. Sam & Max: Chariots of the Dogs

    Jake, you totally rock.
  16. Sid Meier

  17. Sid Meier

    http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=242130&page=1 So nice of Mr Meier to cater to my whims. If only I had access to a computer that could run this...
  18. 50 Cent: Blood On The Sand

    OH MY GOOOOD I CAN'T WAIT FOR JANUARY
  19. It's of a bummer if you're a fan of RPGs for Bioware to be tied up doing something of zero interest to you for years.
  20. What did you learn today?

    I learned that we have mice.
  21. DeathSpank

    Maybe we should ask that guy where he got the game so he could write that in-depth review.
  22. Oh, man, I just realized I have reading week next week, which means I wouldn't even lose any classes I care about. I really can't justify what a hostel would cost, though LONDONER THUMBERS I WILL DO YOUR DISHES, WASH YOUR LAUNDRY, CLEAN YOUR BOOTS WITH MY TONGUE, CURL UP INTO A FETAL POSITION AT THE FOOT OF YOUR BED TO WARM YOUR TOES FOR A PLACE TO STAY HELP A FELLOW HUMAN BEING
  23. Movie/TV recommendations

    That video is actually funny as hell I had to endure Simon Schama for a class about the history of England. He wasn't as grey and raisin-like then, but did look at things a lot.
  24. Ever since those tremendously insightful podcasts started, you people will not stop writing! I'm used to a leisurely Idle Thumbs I can check a few times a day, maybe make a post or two. Now I can't get anything done. Yeesh!
  25. Syndicate revivial

    Far as I know, they've only done the Chronicles of Riddick game and The Darkness. I haven't played the latter, but really enjoyed Chronicles of Riddick (even though I really don't care for the license). It's by far the best licensed game I've ever played, and special in that it has a quirky little vibe of its own unlike pretty much any other.
