Random media ramblings...

  1. SomethingAwful has a bunch of B-Movie-style poster spoofs which are well worth a look.Page 8 has the HP one, most of the rest are pretty good too.
  2. Apparently, Lost has been cancelled - in 2010 (well, assuming it doesn't happen soon, say, if the ratings keep falling). Three more 16-episode seasons - a hard limit which (together with the fact that last week's episode was actually pretty decent) gives me hope that they might be able to pull of a decent conclusion. Maybe.
  3. Heroes was awesome - must be Tuesday.
  4. April Ryan is my new video-game-girlfriend (not sure who the previous one was, actually - possibly Elaine Marley, although she's kinda taken now - but it certainly wasn't Lara Croft...). I picked up a copy of The Longest Journey at the weekend for under ten bucks from Steam, and it's all kinds of fantastic. Yes, the graphics are eight years old, but it's a point-and-click adventure, so who cares. It's got interesting characters, a huge sprawling plot, buckets of humour, and got the Monkey Island reference in very early on - what more could you ask for? Oh, yes, a fix for the lock-up bug (save early, save often...)

Me too :-( I cried for, like, the entire second half.

Actually, I haven't Spidey yet - I was to busy bike-hunting on Saturday and Sunday, and by Monday I really couldn't face going into town again, so I'll go and see it this weekend.

That's a shame, as without my geek card such activities as downloading torrents and burning CDs are certainly way beyond me.

Yah, totally!

By the power of geek card, I was able to download stuff and burn a CD remotely. Alas, I couldn't then get the CD to jump out of the Mac, into a jewel case and an envelope and then post itself. Darn. But hey, that's what bikes are for!

Hang on… that would be Wil Wheaton the original irritating geek boy from Star Trek: The Next Generation who flunked out of the Academy to go travelling? That one? I can't believe there is anyone over 25 who hasn't heard of him.

(Aside: ST:TNG is coming up to its 20th birthday? I feel old…)
