So there's this fan series (which shall remain nameless) that I think is really great. Well acted, great sets, humour, and amazing things done on a shoestring budget - especially considering it's set in a world that would be less than cheap to recreate. Pretty damn good job almost all round ( Read more... )

I have officially written fic for a film that has not yet been released. I feel slightly comforted by the fact that many, many other people have also written stuff for The Avengers, despite it still being months away. But I'm not sure about whether or not I want to post it or not... I hate being Jossed. I think I'm probably going to hang onto it, ( Read more... )

The new Mass Effect 3 trailer, featuring female Shepard. I love this character model, and I wish I could have played her from the start. I've played the game as both male and female Shepard, and frankly, fem!Shep is the one for me. The voice acting is light years ahead, and I love the character's supreme confidence and natural leadership. She ( Read more... )

I don't have any in depth thoughts on the Super Bowl trailer for The Avengers. At this point, pretty much all my thoughts related to this film boil down to one simple sentiment. WAAAAAAAANT.

Jesus, talk about the emotional wringer. It always kills me when unemotional characters suddenly break down and can't stop themselves from feeling something intensely. This episode was like a veritable bonanza of that. Sherlock cried. One small tear, but it was definitely there.

I have a confession to make. Even though he's completely crazy pants, I think Tom Cruise is seriously hot. I absolutely would, just so long as he didn't speak ( Read more... )

... and lo, it was beautiful.

I was looking forward to the return of this show so much, and it really, really didn't disappoint. I cannot articulate everything that was fantastic about it, because I'd surely leave something out. However, I can say with some conviction that the most fantastic thing about this episode was Irene Adler. Just ( Read more... )

After having seen it recced absolutely everywhere, and after viewing some absolutely incredible fanart for it, I finally read Nine Eleven Ten by subtilior. It really, really is as good as everyone said. I was only going to read a bit of it, see if I liked it, but I wound up staying up half the night to plow my way through the whole thing because I just ( Read more... )

I bought Skyrim. I couldn't help it - it was half price in the Christmas sale! I can't play it... I'm still trying to work my way back through Mass Effect 1 and 2 before 3 comes out in March. And I'm in the middle of playing Fallout with all the DLC. And I still haven't got around to defeating the Archdemon in Dragon Age Origins ( Read more... )

I know that one of the things that gets praised most highly about Apple products are their reliability, and one of the things that Microsoft gets most slated for is its slew of technical issues. And yeah, they sure do have 'em, I had Windows Vista and it was like wrestling with a greased up devil on a daily basis. BUT, I'll say this, my Windows 7 ( Read more... )
