one week
I so can’t wait...
monster music
OMG! PixelJunk Monsters is a fantastic
game with an equally fantastic soundtrack, but
last I heard Otograph had no plans on releasing
an OST. But it’s out, like...today! For only 3 bucks! Yay!
hazed
IGN gave Haze a remarkably low score.
I wonder if 4.5 means “slightly below average” or “oh god this game sucks” or “fuck you for being over-hyped and under-delivering.”
I’m sure I’ll pick it up when the price drops and find out for myself. In any case, it’s too bad - I’m a fan of Free Radical and was really hoping for something keen...
things
Yeah, it was crazy. And
amazing. And moving. And overwhelming. In fact, I
really enjoyed watching the movie at the time - the
visuals and music were stunning - but it wasn't until
several hours later that I realized how much I loved
it. Like, you have to spend some time processing
everything you were just assaulted with before being
able to appreciate its greatness.
So, the next day I bought the soundtrack on iTunes
(direct iTunes link), and have been
listening to it like mad.
Oh, while on iTunes I noticed they carried a few
Yoko Kanno CDs as well, so I picked
up this:
CM Yoko (direct iTunes link) is all
commercial music (like, for TV commercials), but
it has super neat (and incredibly varied) stuff.
One of the tracks, though, is crazy good. I really
want to know what kind of advertisement
"Exaelitus" was for...
Also, holy crap, I'm already over 80 hours for this
week. Yay for crunch. Game is going great though!
yeah
It had this a few hours early, and for a few bucks cheaper than anyone else. Also, no joke, over 100 people were lined up. Crazy.
waiting
omg awesome
It's like porn for Marvel fans.
broken date
OMG! Who enjoys small game stores that sell stuff before they're supposed to?
Me! Me!
netless
I think it says a lot about me that two hours without access to fast internet was almost maddening. Also, holy shit the iPhone is slow on Edge.
d-n-a spells dna
This CD is great. Super great. Been listening to I Feel Fantastic like mad. That and Better. Best 5 bucks I've ever spent.
almost found
OMG. Also, wow. SO happy this show is good again. Struggled to get through the second season, but now the addiction's back. :)
neat things
I also got this:
OMG it's huge. Like, Bible huge. Yikes, this is going to take a while to really get into...
And this:
Wow. Much, much, much faster than the previous version. With "previews" on, it doesn't pause to load when quickly skimming pictures. Yay! Looking forward to trying out the other new features as well...
birthday
Been a great day so far, raining (which is rad) and I got a keen present from the lady (which is even radder).
Limited edition print from the last i am 8-bit show.
Ah, she knows me well. :)
in(to) rainbows
I bought In Rainbows a couple of weeks ago on iTunes, but didn't really have the chance to listen until toady. Maybe it was the fact I was on the sick-side (and slightly drugged), or because the new headphones I got in the mail, but I haven't been this addicted to an Radiohead release since Kid A (which is still one of my favorite albums of all time) - and, for someone who hasn't been listening to a lot of non-soundtracks lately, it's a nice change of pace.
wow. not ass.
I like(d) River Tam. Lots. And I like(d) the Terminator franchise. Also lots. Despite both of these facts, however, I had less than zero interest in Sarah Conner Chronicles. Mainly because the chances of a Terminator TV show being bearable - much less good - was about as likely as me getting out of credit card debt in the foreseeable future.
That said, I download the free pilot on iTunes (direct link to show) for the hell of it yesterday, with the thinking that - at the very least - it could amuse me for my lunch hour. Well, it was amusing, so much so that I purchased the second episode as soon as the first was done. My first ever iTunes TV purchase. Which - for someone who has no qualms about acquiring shows by other methods - says quite a lot.
This is the thing: the show was fantastic. Like, It didn't ignore the mythos of Terminator 2, it embraced it. It had good production values, solid (and just cheesy enough) acting, and a really cool time-travel deus ex machina moment that was surprisingly fitting and intelligent, whilst also cutting out the T3 events in a believable way. Overall great fun and one of the better shows I've seen lately, I just hope it can keep up the pace - good TV is getting hard to find these days...
