exhaustedto celebrate having money, I went to Huddersfield on Saturday to see Paws and Junpei. in which I fell in love with Vista, Bioshock, and ate cookies. heard lots of innuendo. had lots of random, pseudo heart-to-hearts.
it's always kind of fun to look back on things with people. we've known each other for three years, which leads to a lot of 'if this had happened-' or 'maybe things would have been different if-', but laughing over it.
and emo porn. I kid you not. setting up Paw's pc, Scott made a folder called 'emo porn' just to show how the folder system worked, and then showed me a site with actual, honest to god, emo porn. rule 34.

fencing today was tiring, but I have a Dory to keep me company. also, everyone is really friendly.
[alas, the Chase-lookalike was not there.]
I was going to write this really prentiously emo and bitchy entry about disappointments and expectations, but now, I feel happy again.
I also met the mysterious fourth [fifth] flatmate - apparently the person in room 5 is actually a they and are a couple sharing, and it's their stuff in the lounge. she seems really nice and friendly, so we both had a '\o/ person who likes socialising!' moment. we'll see. we'll see.

according to last.fm, apparently last week, I really loved Jesse Lacey [singer of Brand New] - 141 plays, when usually my highest artist for a week is around 50? oops.

I really, really enjoyed it. really, really. the little spazzy decepticon? omg, want. the male lead was kind of cute and a dork, and the captain was oh so pretty. the signal analysts made me laugh. omg, robots.
in other words - me and Katie loved it. ;D
I think I enjoyed more having no real knowledge of Transformers. I mean, I must have watched some of the shows once, but I was never really into it. thus, i don't have the 'but, they did it wrong! humans!' that I know some people did. it was just a sufficiently geeky film.
also, a fantastic way to kill some time.

Bioshock is also cheap thrills. Once its completed (In 3 hours) thats it. Well, the 360 version is a bit more playable...cause of the achievments...but its still short.

as for bioshock, 3 hours is a like. it has an amazing story for the first 80% only the endings suck a little.

And I never said Bioshock wasn't godly-awesome. It is. And yeah, the ending blows. All three of them blow. I like a longer game though, with more of a challenge. Even on Hardest mode, it was still pissin' easy.

b. Bioshock was good, to far too short. That and AVG kept detecting the patch download as a virus and deleting the executable. ¬_¬
c. Tranformers was kewl too. I have seen it 3 times, once at the iMax like you. xD
If old "fanboys" hate the new film because of humans being in it, they are deluding themselves and don't actually remember the original series. The Transformers relied on Sparkplug, Daniel and several other humans throughout the series for various things. I hate to say it, but the humans were just as much of a crutch in the original series as they were in the film.
Also, real g33ks will be able to realise the original series was actually cack. If they take off their rose-tinted OPTIMUS PRIME glasses, and watch it again, they'll realise how bad most of it was. There were some good things, like the original animated movie, but even that had garing animation flaws (and yes, I can unfortunately point the majority of them out without much effort).
The best original series was the 3rd series of Beast Wars. Now watch the fanboys cry in despair. ;)

The thing with the humans generally seemed to annoy 2 aspects of the audience - People who expected a monster-movie about robots smashing stuff up and ONLY robots smashing stuff up, forgetting that this film needed moderately good reviews to encourage film-goers to see it and make a profit after spending more on CGI than any movie that don't have 'Star' and 'Wars' in the title.
The other would be the central Transformers fandom, 99% of whom are mind-numbingly stupid and narrow-minded enough to accept and enjoy nothing other than the original series and will find at least 10 things to moan about in everything other than the original series. Hence why I tend to keep my distance from other TF geeks my age; they annoy the fsck out of me.
Oh, and Michael Bay haters too, just to find something to rag on Michael Bay about ^_^;;
