Odd Thomas An adaption of the Dean Koontz book, although I haven't read that yet to see how it compares. Quite a well done film to my eye though. If you like those slightly kooky supernatural tinged thrillers it's definitely worth a watch.

Well, so far with a brief playaround in general and some of the story games, I've played with Dark Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, and Goblins. It just seems that I can barely do one action before there's a screwup that causes my turn to end and then the opposing team does half a dozen tackles, moves, passes without a problem. Gets back to me, I move a character, he falls down, turn ends. Opposing team does a whole bunch of moves, leaves half my team prone. I start my turn, take a step past an opponent, falls down, ends turn. Opposing team does a bunch of moves that all work perfectly. My turn, I make an attempt at tackling, my guy ends up with a big red x, and it's the end of my turn...

Heh. BBC News - Eastenders turning Glaswegian Accent to Co**ney Ah, the joys of the boards language filters..

Just tried running a quick game from the story for a lunch break. Hm. Yeah, not sure i'm enjoying this. I can't actually do anything because they fumble on trying to pick up the ball, fall over if they run, fall over if they try tackling anyone, get ko'd if anyone tackles them, fail all attempts at passing.. The amount of "You rolled a 1 when you need 3 or higher. Do you want to re-roll?" "yes" "screw you, you still failed."

I've only ever been able to do any of those high level space missions if I've got all of the level 7 stuff equipped on my ship. Once you have, it's not that infuriating. In fact once you pick up on the rhythms of the missions they became fairly smooth sailing. Well, apart from one that can be a bit iffy..

There's a lot of fun and humour in it. I just wish there were more "original missions" as it were, rather then so many "perform x, y and z activities" lists to run through.

I'm having a hankering for some Arabian Nights again.. but I settled for listening to some Sheherejazz.. http://youtu.be/dX3S3Qp_mnM

Well, I've just tried playing my first game on this. And literally every player I've got fumbles the ball when throwing, falls over every single time they move past an opposing player, and pretty much breaks their neck every time they get tackled.

Sir Patrick Stewart Gets Married: Announces it with typical Genius

"If you are young and not a liberal you have no heart. If you are old and not a conservative you have no brain."

It's grey, grim, miserable and pissing it down with rain here. Also, my internet keeps flickering off, which is not adding to my happiness.

Well I did dabble in the original GW game back iin the day.. So I'll just pick a copy of this one up at that price and see how I get on with it. So mayhaps I'll be able to give it a whirl.

Isn't that from the robot butler in Fallout? Hm, I can't remember. It was also a sign outside of a garage.

"Don't trust Atoms. They make up everything."

Because this thread needs a bit of oddness thrown back into it..

Although potentially there are days where I'm younger then I look and older then I feel...

"I'm older then I look, and younger then I feel...."

Is that kind of humour like the "Homeland Security, Protecting America from Foreign invasion since 15xx" captions on pictures of Native American warriors?

The World's End. It produced a fair few chuckles. It's Simon Pegg and Nick Frost work their magic, pulling in a few pop culture references and a damn good supporting cast. Plus, it has some amazingly well choreographed fight sequences when the bar fights break out with the aliens...

Still getting used to the absence of my sister and the big dog. Suddenly not having to deal with it is feeling just slightly odd. Although the cat has taken it into place to start making an awful lot of pitiful meowing at odd times. Sister actually did a flying visit today, apparently she's got a creepy neighbour with no social skills who stares at the windows from a distance and sets the dog barking. Along with such things as trying to talk to her along the lines of "oh, I love dogs. If you're having trouble getting time, feel free to give me a key and I'll go in and take him out for a walk during the day when you're at work."

I have to admit, the finale sequence where you get the "One Shall Stand, One Shall Fall" line, and then the music from The Transformers The Movie starts (and yes, I'm talking the 80's animated one..) just has me cracking into a ridiculously childish smile.

The classic that was: Biggles - An Adventure in Time. Peter Cushing's last film. Plus an ending scene with an impeccably delivered line: "Get us out of here before they realise you're NOT a God. You're JUST an American!"

For the Warhammer 40k spin..

Heh, so I threw an email at Koch Media asking about why there's no physical product of the pc version available and just got a reply: It's these little things that would be nice to know when the game is being released..
