Can we fix it?
So I'm on mid-semester break, and since I had a couple of hours to kill between handing in the last assignment of the first half of semester and the final lecture of semester, I wandered into the nearby shopping centre. I felt like buying things, and upon coming out I had the collector's edition of Machinarium (a puzzle game with a really nice ( Read more... ) -
Beast Wars Bonanza
So the Parramatta Fair was on today, and I braved the hot weather to go to it. I ended up adding three Beast Wars toys to the collection, all of them Maximals ( Read more... ) -
2010
Last year I did a big thing about not only how 2009 went for me, but also the best and worst films I saw that year.
I don't really want to do the film thing again, because I didn't see anything offensivly bad this year to use as the Worst Film, so I will just say that Toy Story 3 and Scott Pilgrim Vs The World are tied for my favourite film of the ( Read more... ) -
Christmas tree of DOOM
A lot of people I know have artificial Christmas trees. My house doesn't, and never has. Considering how many decorations we have, and how many I dumped on the tree this year (the result of the decoration of the tree being my job), our tree is pretty much plastic anyway.

Well That's Just Prime: Part II
Well, now I’ve watched the first two episodes of Prime. More episodes will come later in the week, but what do I think of the first two?

Well That's Just Prime
Transformers: Prime is nearly upon us. Well, me, as I’m waiting for the torrents to be uploaded. So I thought I’d write down my thoughts before watching the first two episodes.
I have mixed feelings about Prime. It’s great that Hasbro are aiming to make a more unified continuity, rather than constantly reboot it with every new series. I also like ( Read more... ) -
Toasted TV
Morning television was something denied to me in my childhood. Mum didn’t think it was a very good thing for me to watch. So I ended up being raised on ABC afternoon kids shows, which at the very least exposed me to gems such as The Trapdoor, Shadow Raiders, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
But every other kid was watching Cheez TV on channel 10 ( Read more... ) -
31 Favourite Monsters: Loch Ness Monster
My number one favourite monster of all time is the Loch Ness Monster. The most famous cryptid of all time, Nessie, as it is also known, allegedly dwells within Loch Ness, the largest freshwater lake in Britain. Trust me, it is a bloody huge lake. Something could very well be hiding in it.

31 Favourite Monsters: The Daleks
I was a fan of Doctor Who before the revival made it cool again. It started when an uncle offloaded a bunch of his science fiction stuff to me, and it continued from there via whatever tapes of the old series I could find. Inevitably, I came across the Daleks. Without the Daleks, Doctor Who would likely have vanished into obscurity aeons ago. It ( Read more... )
