It will be printed on shit paper in shitty black and white. sort of thing it is as this is still very much an experiment for us. Getting stuff from outside our own community would be awesom ...

Ever since she became "a soldier", her personality and basically anything she gets to do has been pretty dull. I'm really hoping that her character will get lots of attention to detail and expansion i ...

Yeah, Donna's character totally trumped Rose in comparison, here. She makes Rose look fairly shallow, even. Even better for the end was that note at the end, yeah. No big *CRASH* and "What!?" leading ...

Well, Issue #9 is heavily underway. It will be out this month. It's been promoted to a half-dollar.

um

Maybe we'll have a return of some higher authority capturing and punishing the Doctor again? The Time Lords are obviously gone, but this Shadow Proclamation could have something to do with it. The Doc ...

That was an exceptionally good episode! And yeah, it does kind of feel like a Hartnell. I think maybe the writers knew that, when they worked in that low-key reference to "The Romans"?

Also, Cather ...

whoo-who! firing up the new episode now! Very Happy

....oh SHIT what did they do to the theme song god dammit Sad

The War Games

hahahahaha I remember that one. God that was off-putting.

Man, I really got finish up Episode 2. I think it really improves on a lot of the lame bits of HL2, and fixes up all the shitty parts of Episode 1. And it even looks prettier!

Everything Kevin Smith has done post-Dogma has made me think less of him. Not that I think he's worse, just that I haven't been able to really care about any of it. I think that, barring him writing a ...

to finally define new games journalism?

hahahaaha, no, seriously now, I'd say to take inspiration from the fantastic and mundane alike, and to maybe try and inspire others to do the same

Last week's Smallville (please god explain why I still watch it) was filled with "the Torchwood sound". You know the "waaaaaooooop" sound at the end of the Torchwood theme? Smallville used it to mark ...

The biggest problem with Steam is that it doesn't tell you how big games are before you buy them.
Also it's still easier to pirate games (and play them because you don't have to go through steam).

Xenosaga Episode 1 could have been salvaged to something satisfactory if not for the bazillion hours of cutscenes I think.

Oh and yes Final Fantasy X GOD just cut out 95% of that 'on the road' part ...

some examples some people not me would use perhaps would be

killer7
or
senko no ronde

I thought that these protests would be a lot cooler than they turned out to be. On the other hand, I probably should have seen it coming what with the V for Vendetta masks and everything.

I can't w ...

TOM CRUISE IS A FLIGHTLESS BIRD

Yeah I beat this game in a couple sittings on my own can fight while surrounded, though most of the time it's the most punishing spot to find yourself in.

Earthbound...I got to the desert before giving up on it.

D:

Been going back to my older stuff lately. Getting a huge bunch of satisfaction from James Taylor.

I keep setting Asobi Seksu's 'Citrus' and Ladyhawk on repeat, though.
I get up to Asobi Seksu, and ...

I hear 4 is pretty great. I've got that for my DS somewhere around here!

VIII and Monsters: Joker are all that I've played so far, but I think they're pretty awesome.

Yeah the first two arcs are amazzzzing in this kind of Indiana Jones-ish style of modern mythos and romance. It's like what if The Shaw Brothers had crossed From Dusk till' Dawn with The Temple of Doo ...

OH, you need to play D2 for the Dreamcast then.

this is of massive interest to me now

edit - oh hey this takes place in CANADA EH

I am an optimist.

Man when I'm controlling a dude on rails with a luchadore mask and dual grenade launchers, running into a closet where a anime french maid lets me save, I feel like I can go ahead and call that satire ...

Oh, digi, get Jet Set Radio. The first is much better than the Xbox sequel, and hasn't been released on another system (yet). Very much worth spending time with.

Hells yes I've been playing this a ...

Ha ha oh yes [i]that[/i ]Strikers needs not multiplayer to be made awesome by any means.
God so good.

Yeah it's definitely a risk factor, and I think that the person who had this thing before me just exclusively played burned games on it. The strain manifests in LOUD NOISES, though if it's a recently ...

I would probably say Strikers is only actively awesome when you're playing with a full four people.

So, in recent times I have found myself in the fortunate position of being able to buy up a Dreamcast, with oodles and oodles of games included.
Here is where I would like to resurrect the old white ...

Twin Peaks: The Game, directed by: Stephen King (?)

honestly though, yeah, I'll be picking this one up

I'd love to see a Kingdom Hearts styled Ghibli/Pokemon crossover.

/not

A suprisingly pleasant exception to that trend is [I think] Phantom Hourglass. That game got me into it with just enough of the super-deformed chibi stuff balanced against monsters that look appoachab ...

It's a fascinating and kind of wonderful thing to see an especially shitty tv series come out of something absolutely gorgeous, and slowly get better as it goes along.

Dude you just had to link him the anal fistula page didn't you Sad

Yeah I think I can say I really enjoy getting drunk now and then. There are limits, of course, though I usually find that I'm pretty high-functioning in the noggin all considered. Like Aderack kinda, ...

2046

this movie is from Hong Kong. no biggie, though!

Man, Memories of Murder kicks ass. The Vengeance trilogy is an obvious choice too I guess.
Anybody seen A Bittersweet Life? I'd...almost sa ...

Roger Ebert LOVES No Country for Old Men

guys I really didn't like Ebert at all for a long time until I started reading his post "Mullholland Drive" stuff. i don't necessarily agree with him most o ...

So, this has probably been done before, but I'm wondering where everybody hails from. [!?]

I myself sit on my ass in the general area of Kelowna, BC, Canada.

[anybody slummin it in our nation' ...

Yeah Juno is pretty great if you're okay with falling in love a least a little with a fictional character. It just abouts ties with No Country for Old Men for best of the year with me.

Napolean Dyn ...

This just in: "Juno" is amazing and also suprisingly lovably feel-good!

Lately I've been watching lots of movies in the theatres, though only ones that I know will be good!

The Golden Compass was suprisingly great! I am a fan of the books and the trailer threw me off, ...

Oh hey I see Doctor Who is alive on TGQ after all.

Yeah I totally forgot about this when Christmastine came Sad

butbutbut! I have now seen the episode in all it's spectacularly mediocre loveliness ...

I dunno man, Japanese pop culture includes Hard Gay. I can't argue with that.

Now North Korean pop culture! Now there's some fuc- oh wait. Do they even have a pop culture?

In my town we're getting a solid 9 hours of daylight I'd say. From sunrise at 7 to sunset at 4.
