Here Be Dragons

Hate the Game

Meta filter shows us how much alcamahol we have drunk. And it is some.

I think that today's PVPonline cartoon is one of the best in a while. Not for comedic value, but rather for just the skills of an artist (this is a reference to Trogdor. If you don't know why it is funny you MUST watch Trogdor. Pop culture references (of which I am a fan) are not generally spelt out like this, but I'm here to help.)

Oh, and this screen is truely bigger than Ben Hur, BIG I tells you. Mmmm 10 screen action.

Eight wheels of justice!

Also, after watching it last night, and seeing it pop up on Fark, behold, the entire script to the Big Lebowski... more of a screen play, but anyway.

Also, Terry Pratchett has a new book, Monstrous Regiment, and the important thing to note here is how lucky we in NZ are to get UK book cover art. That was the UK cover, and this is the ucky American cover. I have noticed this before, but damn, it is still worth appreciating. Especially on the Feist and Gemmell books. (James, check out a new Druss "the legend" book, White Wolf.

In case you were wondering, the answer to how many scientists does it take to redress the mummiffied corpse of Lenin turns out to be one dozen. Good to know.

Grim Fandango makes it to number seven in the most underratted games on GameSpy. I liked it a lot, even if we did need to patch it to cope with a too fast computer?!? Alone in the Dark (soon to be a movie) is in at 23, and makes me feel auld skool with a capital old, as I remember it, back in 1992. It scared me then, although I can't remember the name of the guy whose computer I played it on. Really, not a clue.

Codename: Eagle makes it as number 20. Anyone that doesn't know what this game is should go read their comments. Especially players of BF1942. Ahhh it was a great game. It was awsome, it was really buggy, but I played it at FCC and it ruled. It is just as they say it was. Like 1942, but a lot faster and funner. The motorcycles were insane, the blimp was awsome, and the gyrocopter was death on wheels, but it was awsome. It was excellent. And you all missed it. Suck. One of my picks, Battlezone makes it into honourable mention.

If you scroll down some on the right hand side there is something cool. Well actually a lot of it is interesting, but the idea of a mobile phone photo printer at least answers my questions of what, really do you do with the photos.

Sara bought me a camera from the Bloc auction. She rules. She also now admits (honestly) that I RULE for getting the lens onto the camera after Emma claimed it didn't work. I ROCK. However, she thought we both sucked as it took her about one second, as opposed to my many seconds, and Emma's incomplete.

Speaking of incomplete, this post no longer is.
