Some friends are doing the Tough Mudder event, and have invited me to join in. I'm pondering on just how much training for it I would need. A 10-12 mile assault course event. I should improve my cardio...

I need to get some research done for work related activity. For some reason, possibly not helped by a patch of wake/doze/wake/doze sleep this past month I've got stuck in a ridiculous procrastination patch and minor pokes rather then solid get to grips with it. Also, I've been invited to TeslaCon towards the end of the year. I might have to give some thought to suitable steampunk costuming for the occasion.

Yup, a fan edit.. but that's what most of the hard-core fans were expecting.

For the general interest there's also PC Gamer - Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines which has some of the bumf about the community patch and getting things working, along with http://www.moddb.com/games/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines/addons where you can find various additions to tweak the graphics and such.

Heh, I missed the release of an actual story trailer for Watch Dogs.. http://youtu.be/XGZ1fwKcEmc

For the May Day Weekend.. the quick assortment:

The fun thing about Scrubs is that apparently most medical professionals consider it the closest of all medical tv shows to catching the actual mood and attitude of what it's like to work in a hospital.

Gamespot - No One Lives Forever Trademark points to possible re-release

Okay, this one just makes me smile.. pcgamer - The Large Pixel Collider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gtXhFzOBRw

Hm, well Vampire Bloodlines is as 75% off as part of the Activision sale.. I've got the physical copy stashed around somewhere.. but I think for about £3, I'll add it to my digital library to save on hassle.

The really weird thing was the novelisations of the prequel films were a lot better then the films. They structured it out better, they provided more depth to the plots and why things were happening and showed the reasons characters made the choices and reactions they did. But when you have a series of films that can be entertainingly cheesy to a point, you shouldn't have to rely on the novelisations for it to really click.

Well there was that delay in the new film because they were deciding to rework the script for 7. Apparently they've decided against using the original actors as more a cameo, and intend to make this first one more about them as the aging leading characters, and then use it as a platform to introduce the next generation (or however they're planning it). So Luke, Leia, and Han are going to be more significant then not. Or at least that's what the current trend of leaked rumours and statements tends to say.

J.J. Abrams. A man who will spend 5 years showing us a box, doing close-ups of a box, circling the box, panning out around the box, then revealing that the box.. is Empty.

To further the said internet trawl...

Hamill has been keeping things going with the voice work everyone knows, a whole bunch of stage work, and the occasional foray into "interesting" films like Sushi Girl. So what do you call proper acting?
