Hm, some basic gubbins about the future... http://youtu.be/5NrG75S6dRc

Did you hear about the giant floating eyeball who became a Sith Lord? He was a pupil of Obi-Wan's before he turned to evil...

Hm, for what could be an interesting upcoming thing..

I, Frankenstein. it's.. hard to say what to make of this one. Okay.. Aaron Eckhart as Adam, Frankenstein's monster, Bill Nighy as a demon prince trying to re-animate bodies so he can summon fallen demons to possess them, Yvonne Strahovski as the scientist he's manipulating to do it, who think's Frankenstein is just a story... Throw in an unnamed city with one ridiculously massive, over the top gothic super-cathedral.. that happens to be the home of an order of supernatural, shapeshifting Gargoyle's who have been fighting the demon hordes for centuries.. but no-ones noticed. They've got fairly nice cgi of the Gargoyle's flying around, and combat with the demon's as they get killed, and either ascending to heaven in pillars of light, or exploding into feiry trails descending to hell and then really, really grating prosthetic demon masks. Bill Nighy doing his normal quite villainous charm, Eckhart doing broody, pseudo batman with a lot more anger and broodiness, Strahovski not really having much to do beyond eye candy and provide some story points. Maybe I just subconsciously expect a different type of story when you're using Frankenstein... It's basically the monster after the story of Frankenstein. Starts with him burying Frankenstein, and then suddenly Demons! Gargoyles! Mystery Supernatural War Humans Don't Know About!

BBC - Hackers hit MtGox

Okay then, if we're rolling into Monday...

Heh, that was one of the Mission Impossible films. I think it was.. 3. They had all of these "really cool ideas for stunts" that they hadn't been able to work into the previous MI film.. so they put them together and tried to figure out a script that would connect them all together.

Well, I managed to fall asleep a couple of hours earlier last night... Then got woken up a few hours earlier by someone phoning me. I kind of feel that there could be a deity giggling to themselves madly over my head.

I haven't seen the film yet..but this io9 review was too good not to share.. io9 - 300 Rise of an Empire is Zack Snyder's Greatest Intellectual Masterpiece...

Bus Pass Elvis Beats Lib Dems in Local Council by-election

For some reason I seem to have been running on about 4-5 hours sleep a night for the past 6 or so weeks. I think I really need to try to break this habit.

I've kind of lost half the week. Had a major migraine Monday, then Tuesday was that after haze of tired and bleh recovery. Wednesday's been a sort of catch at things that slipped by over the previous two days.

It's the joys of the North American Tuesday release vs the European Friday release...

The Keys to the Worldwide Internet

On reflection as well, I don't think Eberron would have worked that well under pre-3rd edition ruleset.

I will say the Smuggler falls apart in chapter 3. At least in my opinion. Not helped by the final class-quest mission which has you face the big bad.. and then gives you an annoying post-Boss fight series of grind fights against small mobs of easy kills before you can leave the map.

I think it comes down to a story that you pretty much forget, but the individual missions are usually quite good (if you approach it in the pure sneaky style attempt). There are irritations about some of it, notably the context-sensitive button meaning that places you think you should be able to jump you can't. Or small piles of stuff you can't actually climb over where an asthmatic cripple probably could. The freedom of configuration is quite serious in the options available to turn on/off pretty much everything.

Woke up from some mixture of weird dreams about a couple of ex's and some separate line about being stuck in an 80's style cartoon. Definitely has me in a discombobulated headspace as the day's moved along. Can't seem to quite find my balance or figure out what I'm really in the mood to deal with.

io9 - Worlds Largest Aircraft Unveiled

Well, may the best of news arrive, and you get to take him home shortly Enoch. Congratulations on that, I'm sure we'll start breaking out the cigars on general principle now..

Been spending a few hours playing Thief. Hm, definitely a mixed bag I'd say. The general art style and the city tends to have the right feel, and when you focus on the individual missions and stalking through the darkness, avoiding guards (apart from picking their pockets) and trying to figure your way around sneakily.. it's pretty damn good. I can't really say much about the story so far, but there's nothing too memorable about it yet. The voice over is a bit flat, and it kind of suffers from the same as the old Thief games in the "I'm a master thief..but I'm more of a kleptomaniac who has to steal everything not nailed down that's only worth a gold piece or two" approach. The ability to turn off everything you don't want is quite good, so you won't be spoiled by focus or waypoint markers or pretty much anything HUD related you can think of. The fact you have a context sensitive button that handles climb and jump gets annoying. Especially as it means you can never, ever jump except those context related moments. The button mashing to open windows gets old fast - it might work on a console, but is just irritating on pc.

Let's settle down and just go with random pretty girls..

Well, I've only got two characters at 55 now, and I've really only been doing endgame content with one of them. My SI has a mix of 66-72 gear now, and I've been getting his companions set up with 58-66 mostly.. I've got two characters at around 52-53 (my consular and juggernaut), and I don't really have any intentions of levelling my Jedi Knight past 50. I do keep thinking that now my Bounty Hunter is 50 and re-speced as a healer, I should start doing flashpoints to make sure I know how to heal and generally see what that's like.. I find I keep going back to my SI to earn money and just to idle around now and then, do the once weekly run through oricon and the czerka planet, the makeb weekly, and pick up extra cash to send out to my low-level toons as I might need it. Working my Agent through Hoth at the moment, and I've left my Trooper idling around before I take him to Nar Shaddaa. Still haven't done any operations.

Hm. You got: Malta You’re endlessly curious and love nothing more than getting stuck in a good book. You like to take walks in order to figure out what you’re doing in life
