How I'm Feeling:  dorky
Due to not feeling the best, stayed home this weekend and have spent my time engaging in much nerdity. You know, instead of having a life or some simulation of.
Played a bit of Jade Empire. Okay game, nice setting, but lacking the awesome awesomeness of Bioware's other RPG epics (KOTOR, Mass Effect etc). Could hook me later on with more play, and I will admit a certain amusement at playing a Shaolin Monk with Wolverine claws, but at the moment I don't see me playing this one over and over again like the aforementioned games inspired me to do. In related news, caught the trailer for Knights of the Republic MMORPG Bioware's producing. Looks flashy, but I'm hoping the really outdated Matrix-style slow motion action will not make the final product. There is cinematic, and then there is cheesy gimmickry. Luckily I have faith that Bioware knows the difference.
Been catching up with the third season of Primeval, I show I enjoyed but am having reservations about. The show's time anomaly premise and characters still hold my interest, and it seems to have a clear sense of direction in it's story telling (something the similarly themed Torchwood utter failed at), but the individual episodes have been really hit and miss (the less said about the ending of the first episode the better, and I'm iffy about the new characters added in.) Still, it satisfies my need for Brit-flavoured supernatural shenanigans, and it will tide me over at least until the new season of Being Human begins.
It other TV news, finally got around to watching the pilot for the never-produced Aquaman series. It's a shame it failed to pick up, because for all it's flaws, the pilot had a lot of promise and ambition, and the series could could have developed into something really interesting. Extra points too for an excellent Jaws reference and a cool underwater sequence of the character swimming playfully in a school of non-aggressive sharks. Yeah, we know why I'd watch it...
In webcomic news, excellent last panel in today's Order of the Stick. I laughed so hard it hurt. Bravo.
Anyway, I should try this sleep thing people keep talking about. Adios. |
