Hot Heart

And all in under 2 hours.

My friend designed a thing for a competition involving Only God Forgives. http://markusillustration.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/uk-film-mag-little-white-lies-has-had.html

Benedict Cumberbatch hates liquids.

I kinda want to see it, but I absolutely hated Juno so I've stayed away.

I've had 3 360s and 2 PS3s. One RROD within warranty, one afterwards, so I bought the S model (and it's nice having soooo much more HDD space anyway). Gave the old one to a friend, who actually fixed it no problem and sold it on eBay. My old 60GB BC PS3 has a faulty disc drive (just like on my old PS2) and I probably could get it fixed/replaced but I bought a new PS3 slim as well. I will say that at least carrying your data from one 360 to another is relatively easy. PS3 to PS3 was just a complete pain in the arse, and I was lucky the thing still worked in some capacity, I guess.

Superman Returns. Never been a big fan of Superman anyway, but my curiosity was piqued thanks to Man of Steel doing things very differently. As intended, this feels like a 'classic' Superman film where most of the action is him saving people. Problem is, as I found with the X-Men films, something is just 'off' in the balance. In this, it's clearly the villains ("Krrrrryptonite!") who are either too goofy or have a stupid plan, which just clashes with the more serious or melancholy tone to the rest of the film (good job they kept them apart for nearly the entire runtime). Create more land...but kill billions (according to Kitty the exposition-fuelling comedy sidekick) in the process, thus reducing the demand by a significant amount (certainly no progress will be made in Lex's lifetime)? Also, how's he going to control it with three goons? Also, why does his map of it already show clearly-defined statelines? And the more serious parts of the story are just kinda underdeveloped. Superman feels alienated (BRYAN SINGER'S DUMB MOVIEGOER APPROACH TO SUBTEXT: it's on the scrabbleboard when he crash lands), but really it's just because he loves Lois (d'awww). And Lois writes some interesting Pulitzer Prize-winning article, which is never actually expanded upon (would've made a decent story in itself, I think) and was really just her missing Superman. Also, it's too fucking long and isn't helped by Singer taking forever with nearly all the mundane action sequences (nicking a meteorite, Superman might drown!). That said, I think Brandon Routh made for a good Superman and there are some cool shots in there and, as already mentioned, it captures the spirit intended.

Half your blu-rays aren't showing, bandwidth-stealer! Also, Mad Max 2 is the best one. Good choice.

Sentinel! http://epdaily.tv/all/type-of/news/first-full-look-at-x-men-sentinel/ (It's the one on the left)

The bodyguard.

That would be acceptable. And while I'm here...meme.

But then it becomes a case of "So why didn't they use the sword from the start? That thing's like a one-hit kill."

Also the whole ejector thing, which was saved for...story reasons. They never explained that maybe at least one of the dudes could've gotten out at the end...or Stacker just really hated him.

If it had some wry narration, I'd say the same. Guess I'll have to add that myself. AGAIN!

Dude, did you just reuse my image link? Ethan, you're a shit mod.

This has turned into an episode of Community... DEAN YOU LATER.

Needed some new trainers for general use but also some occasional badminton. These looked nice, feel nice and light and were a good price. I know I said I was going to hold off on buying more of these...but apparently they get a lot better, and I've seen work by the current artist that is just beautiful.

Pre-orders. £41 for the pair. Thanks to Savygamer. (the e-coupon there is actually for £5 off when you spend over £35 on pre-orders, so you don't have to buy those exact games. Plus, Tesco prices tend to be pretty good anyway)

DEAN! CAN WE GET SOME BANNINGS GOING ON IN HERE?!

Empire gave it 5/5 but this was in the review:

Hehe. I actually had no idea why it was called Love Letter (and still don't!), and maybe that's a good thing. If I were trying to describe it, I would say it's a sort of quickfire-poker meets Go Fish...but different. Oh, and while I think of it, we did get very 'lucky' at Sentinels. There was a Self-Destruct Countdown on the environment we played, but fortunately that never came up and there's also an automatic lose condition if the villain gets 10 minions in play at once...and he had a card that auto-destroys and plays every minion already in his trash (of which there were 8 already). One of our guys had a power/card that shifts the villain's trash to the bottom of their deck, though doing so deals him 1 damage for all the cards moved that way (which was equal to his health). So, he would've sacrificed himself for the greater good and was ready to do that after my turn...except I played a card (Heroic Interception!) that dealed me 3 damage and stopped everyone else receiving any damage whatsoever until my next turn. Good times.

Kicked some more butt at Sentinels of the Multiverse, even with one less player to help. Legacy came up as a hero for both and he seems pretty damn good. When I played him, he made for a great damage-booster as well as a really good tank. We beat what I think was supposed to be the toughest of the base bosses in the toughest environment, so I think we might have to start playing by the Advanced ruleset in future. Went onto some Guillotine, which I'd played once before on NYE. Ran away with that game and was on-course to win under normal progression but then I executed a noble without realising that instantly ends the game, so I won 'accidentally' which pissed off all my friends that little bit extra. Then we moved onto Love Letter, which was meant to be quick, before I had to dash for a bus home. It took me a little while to grasp it since it's a whole bunch of complicated rules and things to keep in mind, involves some bluffing/misdirection, and we were playing quickfire rounds. I actually managed to win overall, though I'm hesitant to call it that because my friends were sort of going easy on me and also didn't capitalise in one game where I got confused about a move and completely exposed my hand, giving them the perfect opportunity to knock me out (still, I was two victories ahead when we called it quits). Definitely one to try in future now that I've got a better understanding of it though.
