Patters

yeah, I don't know how well they work though.

There is only one wizard who matters, that wizard would be Jordan Rudess (Dream Theater's Keyboard wizard), he even has a wizard hat.

I finished ODST properly (legendary). Also some of the stories in Battle Fantasia, it has awful translation.

I may well be up for that, seeing as I cannot do the friday, with both a day full of lectures and a halloween party at night. Plus a friend is going on the saturday too.

YAY for referencing a mandelbrot set. really liked the episode, does anyone else listen to each episode twice in the week it comes out? Just cos I usually miss a bit with travelling when listening.

It's all good. My actual account hasn't been touched by anyone but me. I just spent a lot of money in a short amount of time.

yeah, pretty much. I was worried that I had been robbed for a while though.

sort of they called my home address, which isn't my contact number. It's all sorted now though, apparently me buying a £165 bus pass made them think I was stealing from my own account.

Some achievements are really cool though (in how you go about getting them): Such as in HL2 getting through ravenholme without shooting a single bullet, completing Halo 3 on legendary 4 player Co-op with ghosts with a specific skull on, and the similar one for ODST. In all if an achievement leads to you finding an easter egg or interesting way to play a segment of a game then it's cool. Achievement whores will exist wherever there is a meta score though.

is delayed till 2010.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK. My Bank card is blocked, despite early today them saying it's all OK. Ok so my mum called me earlier today saying that abbey had apparently called saying my account was being looked into for fraud then I tried to call them, and failed, so I went to the closest branch to me, and they said they could see nothing wrong so I thought OK all is good, turns out after I went to sainsbury's to get food, My card has been blocked. Fuck you Abbey.

Natha Fillion should play everything and everyone.

or he is 17 and doesn't understand the cost of living yet?

was the 'blix I believe.

I'm in, 3rd Grand thumbs auto with a different 360.

For Buggers the best weapons are: the turret, smg and if you are a good shot the carbine. the most common and probably most efficient way is firing the smg in bursts. either way these all make short work of Buggers.

At least they were better in 3 than in 2 or 1.

Happy Birthday!

OK so my actual thoughts on the character is that she seems like an adrenaline junkie with slight suicidal tendencies. Her representation as a bald and tattooed woman is irrelevant to me, at this point, the trailer may well be misleading. This is likely because people I know and are close to me are these sort of people, but we shall see. It may be different to an outsider, say me liking Travis Touchdown, while not being linked to that culture at all, maybe it is different to those linked t it. The one thing I do NOT agree with is the apparent perception (from the trailer) that this person is insane, crazy, mentally unstable or whatever you want to call it; she isn't, from what we have seen, she may well not be in the right state of mind compared to a normal person, but that isn't the same thing. I hope that the trailer is either accidentally or purposefully presented like this and the final product is not the same. Finally it also seems that if they are purposefully trying to link people who behave in the way portrayed with the trailer with an image associated with modern metal, punk or other often frequently looked down on genres. Again hopefully it is a miscommunication between advertisers and the character designers.

Maybe a character similar to Ashley in the original game, a character that is clearly not a super model, she may look a little ordinary, but hell they are in the military so wouldn't need to have to glam themselves up. I don't see how you can see this as more realistic the character looks more frail than tough (minus the tattoos). If you were to see a more realistic woman in that role, if anything I would expect her to be more built up.

The violent ones always look relatively normal . Except in the case of people in the metal music culture, in general they tend to be pierced to the extreme as opposed to tattooed, a large amount of tattoos means to me that the person in question enjoys pain to an extent whilst piercings take far less time to get done. But this is besides the point. The character herself is horrible, with both mannerisms and presentation. So you think that a game should try and tackle the infinitely more problematic problem of mental issues above those of homosexuality and even love? Other forms of media didn't do that until they had matured (gaming hasn't) and many people (including me) find it fairly offensive for these issues to be dealt with badly, which this will be, with an initial presentation of the character like this I can't see it progressing to something acceptable ever.

So Ben Konstantinovic released his ep today and it's awesome. If you like acoustic music you should like this. It's on Itunes and amazon apparently. d2n5zOgkEIY

Ultimate spider-man was awesome, I only read the original run of them (origin story) but yeah. With other comics I used to read a hell of a lot, mostly star wars ones (the KotOR and other ones set in the distant past being my favourites). More recently I have read Sam and max hit the road (get it), bone books 1-3 (very good) and angel: after the fall (fans only).

Fuck, just realised the 30th was a friday, I thought it was in my reading week also, damn. Either way I'm in leeds on the wednesday and maybe london on the saturday.

4 episodes and 2 B-sides.
