Oh, and I know London isn't really full of penny farthings and automatic doors. It's full of security cameras and small people sitting in giant rooms.
Yeah, but I think the thing which McGoohan (and Orwell, and others) ... - 2010-07-29 02:40 - What Is This Review About? - link (Also I'm not sure what you think London in 2010 is like, but there's less penny farthings and automatic doors than The Prisoner might make you think...)
- 2010-07-28 15:05 - What Is This Review About? - link Have you seen any of the recent remake of The Prisoner? All I know about it is that: - They have Ian McKellen as Number Two, consistently. Which is a perfect 50% mix of "totally awesome" and "utterly missing the point". - They come up w...

And I'm afraid you're wrong about that, Arthur. The few conversations I've seen about it have always included someone mentioning how *sexist* it is to make a game where a woman shoots loads of men in the face when you couldn't do the reverse w...
- 2010-07-26 18:48 - Games. UR Doin It Wrong - link Yeah, unfortunately I suspect an awful lot of conversations about Hey Baby are along the lines of "aren't the graphics terrible"? ;) Welcome to FB, by the way.
- 2010-07-26 18:29 - Games. UR Doin It Wrong - link It's an atrocity! The mid-1990s standard of 3D graphics, the mouse cursor hovering in the middle of the screen, the dead bodies vanishing within a second of them appearing and being replaced with badly rendered gravestones, the really badly-recorded audio ...
- 2010-07-26 17:46 - How Many Bites Until It Starts to Suck? - link I haven't yet, but I intend to at some point. Thanks for confirming that it's worth tracking down. :) @Andy: I'm with you with Return of the King. Day of the Dead isn't in the same league as Night of the Living Dead or Dawn...
- 2010-07-26 10:41 - How Many Bites Until It Starts to Suck? - link There's a tendency, but it's not always the case. Whereas with Marvel it's like an unwavering law or something.

- 2010-07-25 12:20 - The Reading Canary: Sovereign Stone - link You can't have one unless you're a naughty prince. Also eventually he will take offence to your habit of making undead slaves and sneak off, presumably to pop up in the third book to make trouble for you or something. So you mig...

- 2010-07-24 18:38 - Ferretbrain Presents the TeXt Factor Episode Eleven – The Final! - link I wonder if there's a mathematical limit to the number of parameters and objects possessing said parameters a Venn diagram can have before it becomes impossible to draw? All the automated generators I have found online can cope with two or three circles bu...
- 2010-07-24 16:57 - Ferretbrain Presents the TeXt Factor Episode Eleven – The Final! - link I think Shimmin's been forced to make some compromises to avoid breaking the Venn diagram entire. After all, there's infidelity in A Kiss of Shadows, The Maltese Falcon (and, if you accept Katherine's arguments, Wolf Hall), domestic abuse in The Woman In W...
- 2010-07-23 23:00 - Subject Fail - link So I just beat Mass Effect 2. Thoughts: - I played it as Asshole Shepherd, which is quite good for avoiding sexual creepiness towards Jack. The Renegade attitude towards her (when it doesn't involve trying to bone her) seems to involve a rugged de...
- 2010-07-22 14:50 - Ferretbrain Presents the TeXt Factor Episode Eleven – The Final! - link That reminds me. I've come up with this handy chart of the various books in the Text Factor, what position they ended up in in the end, and the important details of their plots: it's a sort of pocket summary ...
