"I make it so the pain doesn't matter."
Every time I think Hannibal Lecter can't possibly make me think any worse of him, he goes and proves me wrong. It's not supposed to be a competition you utter fucking be-suited DISTILLED ESSENCE OF DICKHAT. I can't muster up any literary monologuing because of how much I just want him to dieAlthough, man, Chilton is going to feel like suuuuch a ( Read more... ) -
Are we not created in his image?
Hmm. I should get a Hannibal icon, probably. It's a show that rapidly managed to glue me into my chair (with the occasional "oh christ no what ugh" moment when I'm peeking through my fingers) (oh god no pun intended on the most recent murder-artist argh) (arrrrgh) by hitting buttons I wasn't entirely aware I had - both pleasant and, um, not. I just ( Read more... ) -
I DID IT!
I made the shift! This may have have been due to the lovely and well-explained instructions provided by the Dreamwidth folks that allowed me to import all my stuff. (Because I can't just leave it there or something. What do you take me for, some kind of crazy person? I must have my posts. My posts. My precioussss ( Read more... ) -
"Casualties...too many."
I don't know whether to recommend Spec Ops: The Line, because having finished it I'm quite sure that I never want to play it again. It's very mean to shooter fans and its gameplay is pretty indifferent ( Read more... ) -
Also when my protagonist turns into Albert Wesker.
Okay, look, when a thing is not actually Resident Evil, and the only thing I want is that it not turn into Resident Evil, and then it turns into Resident Evil, I think I am justified in complaining!
Especially since there's so much Resident Evil on the marketplace as it is. -
Oddly Specific
So...I'm upset about a fictional character's death - really, genuinely upset, the way I was over certain character deaths in ME3 - but not because I don't think that character deserved to die or found the scene particularly sad. That character was an asshole, and plot developments had heightened the assholery to levels where death was probably the ( Read more... ) -
A Reaction.
Me: That was amazing! Awe-inspiring! I can't wait to see how it'll change everything in the galaxy! What will happen next?
Mass Effect 3: Unreleased DLC! :D
Me: ...What?
Mass Effect 3: Deeeee Eeelll Ceeee!
...That's mildly annoying. Otherwise it was a gorgeous game, though. -
I should really just stop reading arguments between sci-fi nerds. Or gamers. Or sci-fi nerd gamers.
Something I have decided after flicking through complaints about BioWare and their plot methods:
If you break a story down into its most basic clichés shorn of all context, that doesn't mean the story is actually basic or clichéd. It means you have a rough understanding of the way media is constructed. Good for you. Round of applause. Have a ( Read more... ) -
Thiourf. Thifourth. Thfieth? So stupid.
News about that new Thief game whose working title is too silly to reproduce here is pretty scarce. For all that it was announced more than a year ago, there have been no trailers, no concept art, no prospective features, no hints about the plot or tone or setting or protagonists it may or may not have (and since the third game rounded off the ( Read more... ) -
Huh.
...LiveJournal just gave me a free paid-time extension.
They're resorting to bribes now? An apology would have worked better.
