Saladin: The Animated Series
29 December, 2008

(am still trying to figure out how to embed. If its not there, sorry.)
This is one of your classic ‘non-hollywood’ stories.  A great, kick arse rollicking sword and swashbuckling tale that doesn’t involve a white guy as the hero.  Actually, the whole thing has the Christians as a bunch of [...]

Game Review: Loco Roco
27 December, 2008

Never has a game succeeded so much in making the player happy.

The Parting Glass
26 December, 2008

Of all the money that ere I had, I spent it in good company.
And of all the harm that ere I’ve done, alas was done to none but me.
And all I’ve done for want of wit, to memory now I cannot recall.
So fill me to the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all.

Overheard this Christmas

Guy A:  Merry Christmas!
Guy B:  I’m not Christian.
Guy A:  That’s Okay.  I am.

Worst Song Ever
20 December, 2008

It was the sound irritable bowel syndrome would make if it thought it could sing.
It was the kindof thing that would make Florence Foster Jenkins curl up in a ball and cry.
It was like being raped in he ear by a cat. It was like being raped in the ear with a cat.
Not even the most constipated bowels could withstand [...]

Hands
18 December, 2008

Her hands were like leather and stained where she picked up her ever present cigarette. Dry skin, an small lie, easily given when I asked about it.
She never made eye contact across the table, except when she would turn away from me to look for the waiter, who was never there when she wanted him to be, and even then, it [...]

Wolverine: Origins
16 December, 2008

Apologies for the descent into fanboy.
Saw the trailer it looks okay enough.
Can’t wait to have my dreams of a worthwhile Deadpool be ruined!!!

Video Game
15 December, 2008

i have a great idea for a computer game; a WWII FPS which is even LESS realistic than Wolfenstein. I’m talking giant spider robots, hitler clones, ancient Norse gods, giant Japanese samurai robots. In other words, a WWII steampunk sci fi action game.
You can’t tell me that Hitler as the end guy, with his head surgically implanted [...]

On Democracy
14 December, 2008

Right, it’s been a while since I last ranted.  Last time it was about the Bill of Rights, this time it’s democracy.
STUFF YOU SHOULD REALISE ABOUT DEMOCRACY:
#1: Democracy isn’t an inherently good thing.  It is, in fact, the least worst way of running a government.  That’s why it’s so popular.  businesses aren’t democracies.  Schools aren’t [...]

The US
13 December, 2008

I like to this of the United States as the Mexico of Canada.
