I'm alive! Yay. Recently acquired an Xbox 360 from my cousin, and signed up for Gamefly, so I've been going on a gaming binge. Finished the new Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for the Wii, as well as Mirror's Edge, for the 360.

cut for SH rambling~ )

Mirror's Edge )

Finally, I would just like to mention for a certain person (who is busy and probably won't read this anyway xD) and for my own personal satisfaction, that I picked up again and am almost done with Kingdom Hearts 2~! Yay, this is me, last to the party as usual! Although, playing it again, after all these years and after playing many other, better games...Kingdom Hearts has lost some of it's shiny appeal to me. Still, it's engaging enough to finish and possibly continue with the series. Especially if it includes more adorable lion avatars. I'm all over that shit.

Anyway, I suspect that it will continue to take up my time the next few days, plus I've got a backlog game list that I'm trying to tackle, so later, internet~!

Also, I need a gaming icon D:

EDIT: Oh shit, Spoony just posted 3 new videos. Goodbye, next three hours of my life~

Just finished the End of Time, David's last episode. Sigh. Despite being quite possibly THE STUPIDEST episode of the new Doctor Who series (and that's saying something. I mean, I love it, but the stories in Doctor Who are by and large pretty damn stupid), the way they dealt with Ten leaving and the whole 'end of an era' thing really bummed me out. And yes, I cried. But ONLY when he went to see Rose. Because after everything, The Doctor/Rose still gets me. Even more than David leaving, I think the fact that the Doctor/Rose is now totally over and done with is what put me off. I wish I had season 2 dvds to go crying to, lol. Everything post-Fear Her that involved Rose was really depressing.

Anyway, stupid episode was stupid, no denying that. There were more plot holes than plot, and did I mention stupid? That had to be the worst 'take over the world' plan I've ever seen. And that includes world's worst plan #1, Twin Clones of Hitler. WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION EVERYONE. John Simm was fail actor. I mean, his part was badly written, but not that bad. He chewed the scenery and then quite literally spat it back out. With EVERY LINE.

Anyway (again), dumb as it was, the episode was saved merely by the fact that it was Tennant's last, and he made the most of it, didn't he? Even he hammed it up more than usual, especially with his twelve 'death' scenes. Still, when he said 'I don't want to go', you believed it x3 it's almost like they're pushing him out rahter than his voluntarily leaving. Sigh.

We'll see how the new guy fares (although I'm already against the bow tie), but like Ecclestone before him, I'll really miss Tennant.

For the LULZ I mean, seriously? Look at those effects. That's the best they can do? Talk about B-budget. You'd think they'd put some effort into this shit, since it's a pretty high-profile remake, but damn. It looks terrible. ALMOST AS BELIEVABLE AS THE ORIGINAL.

Saw Sherlock Holmes today. I actually quite enjoyed it, even if it wasn't really Sherlock Holmes so much as Robert Downey Jr as a 19th Century British Detective, or, as the boyfriend suggested, British Iron Man. To me, it seemed like the kind of movie that someone who had never read a Sherlock Holmes story would expect a Sherlock Holmes movie to be like. Or, what Holmes might have been like if it were written now. Both Holmes and Watson were so far out of character, they could barely pass for the characters they were based on, retaining only the basic traits and professions.

ramblings inside (spoiler-free) )

Anyway, on the whole, again, it was an enjoyable movie, for what it was. I love snark-mode RDJ, and snarky detective RDJ? Heaven<3 They left it wide open for a sequel - I mean, a whole sub-plot was devoted to introducing Professor Moriarty as Holmes' arch nemesis, and it ended with that sort of 'next time on Sherlock Holmes' setup, a la Batman Begins. And I'll totally be there for the next one.

I went to the movies today with my little brother. We saw Avatar, which he chose over Princess and the Frog. Astounding for an eight-year-old boy, right? Personally I'm very interested in seeing Princess and the Frog, but to be fair, I kinda wanted to see Avatar too, so no problem there.

That was a long-ass friggin movie. Two and a half hours. And not in like a good, "Ohh, I never want this to end, where did the time go?" Watchmen way. In a "OMG when will this movie END?" way. It was an okay movie. Leveled out to an flat "meh" for me. The good and bad are pretty easily seperated though. The good: the visuals. The bad: the characters, dialog, plot, and overall story. The acting was just ok. Adequate. Passable. Although Worthington needs to work on his American accent. Pretty bastard, though.

But seriously, someone needs to tell James Cameron he can't write. I mean, he's got great ideas. Clearly Terminator was a decent premise or there wouldn't be fourteen million sequels. I loved and still love the premise of Dark Angel. Titanic was...uh...okay I guess. And the premise of Avatar was awesome - I mean, who wouldn't want to be able to pilot a giant blue alien? I like the idea. But Jesus man, I don't think there was one line of dialog in that movie that hadn't been said in a thousand movies before it. Not one character who wasn't a one-dimensional archetype. And the plot, once you move past the "yay I have an alien body thing", is so by-the-book you want to just *headdesk* the minute you realize where it's going.

spoilers )

the visuals weren't that great, either )

What irks me most about the movie, I guess, is that it wasn't made because James Cameron had this wonderful, epic story that just needed to be told. It was made because he had one good idea and a visual effects crew that wanted to show off. Everything from character to world design was just a big fuckin "HEY, LOOK WHAT WE CAN DO", and the story was second-rate recycled been-there-done-that crap, with a nice SUBTLE environmental message plastered all over it. And it was TWO AND A HALF HOURS LONG. Totally unnecessary.

Bleh.

So I finished Evernight. Gotta say, after reading the whole shebang, getting the full effect, and watching the characters act in completely different and OOC ways just to suit the particular situation the author wanted to put them in, I'm kinda disappointed with it. Good premise, but the characters, their behavior, and some plot points just don't gel.

I would have preferred she turned out to be a vampire princess, and Lucas her faithful undercover bodyguard. Woulda been way better.

it's kind of astonishing to me lately how little I have my computer on. I mean, back in the day, I didn't do anything but internet, and even at the last house, I left the compy on all the time. Now, I'll go days at a time without touching it. It's weird. Anyway, this is basically just a crappy introduction so I can say sorry for not keeping up with everyone's entries. I swear I read them all :> I just fail at commenting *flails*

Anyway, life update = not existent. More of the same old, which is to say, work. I've dived(dove? diven? x3) headfirst into reading again, cause yay books. Finally finished The Shadow in the North, which I bought years ago, but never got around to reading. I have the rest of the series, too, same story. Anyway, I loved it. Nothing much to say but that, and poor Sally :( and Fred. And I'm looking forward to the next one.

In the meantime, I'm reading Evernight, since it's from the library, and y'know, time limit. I'm loving it so far, although the true premise and motivation behind having this particular vampire academy is laughable and almost like something from an SNL skit. Still, enjoying.

Finally, stealing a meme from [info]winged_requiem. Maybe I'll remember to do it everyday? If not, I'll just catch up all at once, but maybe this'll work as inspiration to post more. Also, *[info]winged_requiemGLOMP* Thanks for the e-cookie<3 :3

So I've been on a reading kick lately, and I fiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnallly finished Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, after having it for...two and a half months? I got it while David was here in August... anyway! I don't know why it took so long to finish it, I like it just fine, and the concept just rocked my socks, since P&P is my favorite book, and I love the zombies. I guess because it was just P&P with new zombiebits added in, it took off the urgency to finish.

Anyway, despite the promising premise, I gotta admit, I was kind of disappointed.

Jane Austen, now with ball jokes )

Maybe I'm being too harsh, since it is what it set out to be: an "expanded edition", but ultimately it left me with the impression of a lazy author. Like, this guy got a really good idea for a book, but didn't want to write it all himself, so he just edited the original Pride and Prejudice. I think it would have been a lot better if he'd re-written it all from scratch. Kind of a waste ^^;

Random, but has anyone read Furukawa Shiori's Five? I chose it at random to read at OneManga, and it's okay, almost exactly the same as Ouran/S.A., but holy crap the character designs are weird. ITS THE EYES. The characters look like aliens. I mean, obviously there are different art styles (I mean, it took a little time to get used to Ai Yazawa's style, and I still think Nakamura Yoshiki makes heavy use of fruits/vegetables when designing her characters) but daaaaaaaaaaaaamn, dude. HUMAN EYES HAVE WHITES AROUND THEM.

Have I ever mentioned I love Supernatural? Probably. It just gets better with every season though. I didn't think I would dig the Sam/Dean split, but as long as I get my weekly dose of Dean, I'm good. I love how Dean can be dealing with the 'last night on earth' situation with an angel, supposedly the most holy and pure of creatures, and decide what he needs before he dies is to get him laid. lol fail. But at least you tried, Dean ♥ And next week? ZOMBIES? I LOVE YOU SUPERNATURAL.

Also, finished Dan Brown's new book, the Solomon Key. It was silly. Very silly. And the 'big twist' was ridiculously predictable, but I have a weakness for treasure hunts, and Brown's books satisfy that love but good. I've come to the conclusion that Brown is a good writer the way Stephanie Meyer is a good writer - they do a good job of sucking you in to the story, but eventually you realize it has about as much substance as cotton candy. Their books are like literary junk food. Although I don't loathe Dan Brown the way I do Stephanie Meyer, but I think that disgust has more to do with the ridiculous fandom than it does with the author herself. Except for the goddamn vampire weddings. Ridiculous. WHY DO VAMPIRES NEED TO BE MARRIED? WHY? THAT IS SO STUPID AND POINTLESS, YOU'RE A CENTURIES-OLD VAMPIRE, YOU DON'T LEGALLY EXIST ANYWAY, IT'S ALL EMPTY RITUAL. AND WOULDN'T YOU THINK AGREEING TO BECOMING A VAMPIRE WITH THE PERSON YOU LOVE IS COMMITMENT ENOUGH, BUT NO, THE MORMON AUTHOR NEEDS A WEDDING, COULDN'T GIVE PEOPLE THE WRONG IMPRESSION OR MORAL MESSAGE, COULD WE-

*takes anti-Twilight medication*

Anyway, ahem. Solomon Key. Pretty much what you expect from DB - bizarre physical injuries/deaths inspiring a city-wide chase involving lotsa puzzles, little-known-facts, and cutting-edge 'science', loaded with location/item descriptions that sound like brochures and characters who like to monologue Wikipedia articles. He basically re-uses the same four characters in every book he writes - LOL CRAZY villain, the supposedly smart and strong, but essentially personality-less heroine and/or hero, knowledgeable mentor who turns out to be a double-agent, etc. But you get what you expect, and I do love my riddle-ridden treasure hunts!

And you'll be happy to hear, Brown has ideas for 12 more Langdon books, all with likely the same plot, but new puzzles and exotic locations and little known facts!

It's been so long since I've done one of these, lol.

Forcibly taken from [info]luinthoron:

Comment with a series and I will respond to you with the following.

• One True Pairing Ship:
• Canon Ship:
• "If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
• "You are one sick puppy" Ship:
• "I dabble a little" Ship:
• "It's like a car crash" Ship:
• "Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
• "Makes no canon sense but why the heck not" Ship:
• "Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:

Sounds like fun :3

Also, on a completely unrelated not, caught up with Fullmetal Alchemist manga! Yayz. *accomplished*<3
