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...)

I LOVED The Longest Journey... I wonder if they've ever come out with the sequel? You might also like Syberia and Syberia II if you like TLJ... I fully admit that it's the stories and characterizations in both that really got me. You know the graphics and stuff aren't really my baliwick.

They did indeed come out with a sequel. The reviews are apparently rather more ... mixed than for the original, but I shall have to see for myself. In due course - I'm only up to chapter 5 "There And Back Again" (now where have I seen that before...) of TLJ...

I remember you mentioning Syberia before - I'll be sure to check it out if TLJ has indeed started me on an adventure game kick.
