I will say that while I do like that this game won't hold your hand about a whole heap of things, I do kind of feel like it also means I missed picking up a bunch of side-quest type things in my first run through. And side-quests are in many ways one of the key things that helps flesh out the world and provides you with more background info about characters, events and places usually. Unless you spent a serious amount of time moving, and then running the cursor over everything on screen to find out if its an item clickable or a person you can speak to.... I think that you will miss stuff really easily.

Heh. For the film trivia of it all... Jennifer Grey on Dirty Dancing

Netflix Stocks Plummet Following Poor Earnings Report

How to Make Love Like An Englishman (or "Lessons in Love" depending on where in the world you are). An odd little romantic-comedy. Pierce Brosnan as an English/Romantics professor who has lead a life of Byronic excess only to turn it around after getting one of his grad assistants (played by Jessica Alba) pregnant. He marries her, moves to the US with her and starts to raise his son before everything goes pear-shaped. Throw in Salma Hayek as the half-sister of Alba, and Malcolm McDowell as the misogynistic misanthropist former English/Romantics professor as Brosnan's father. The actors keep pulling it off really well, with some good scenes, but something doesn't quite click for the entire movie. It's nicely done in the way it covers several years of that journey, but still manages to feel slightly messy in some way. I'd say entertaining in that vein, especially if you like the actors, but definitely more one for the quiet evening watch rather than a chase down to see.

Hm. Deus Ex: Revision has been released on steam.

Tickld - Military Pilot Shares A Story

Funny thing is we have this wonderful representation of the Middle Ages leading into the Renaissance as a point of the Church being heavy against science. It's a pretty popular conception of history. The thing is, it's pretty much wrong. The majority of leading scientists of the time and protected knowledge was because of the church. Hell, even Galileo's trial was more because of politics and how he annoyed people, not because of the science (although the heliocentralism was used as the excuse for the trail). Hm, although now I'm trying to remember exactly where I studied that background. Heh, I got curious on it after reading one of the Ring of Fire books by Eric Flint and looked into the real history, but I can't place where it was I found the evidence.
