    The Prisoner e01-02 "I am not a number! I Am a free man!" I think I could really love this show. Just got to really decide whether it would be beneficial or even derogative to watch the whole of the old show before I continue this. I only know of a few things; numbers, bouncing ball things, paranoia and a generally unsatisfactory ending. But I'm sure this show will have numerous references to the older version... but it is a hard choice. To watch with nostalgia or with purely open, unaware eyes? I really like AMC network, for mad men and for Breaking Bad, and I think they're secondary only to HBO in terms of toned drama -- but often their shows rely too much on symbolism, on the audience assuming there is a deeper meaning (through, usually, superior sound that relies very little on pre-existing material). The way the long-shot angles are coupled with voyeuresque audio is ingenius. Yeah stopping now.Algolol.

    Man, Coolness you're so innocent. I remember when little things in my day used to make me all, y'know, gladtobealive and stuff. Time is a bitter honey.

    Ah! You're one of those people who lies when they say "I'm from Brighton." Mild, scurvy-inducing curses are flung at thee from me. (Portslade totally counts as Brighton...)

    Hai emo paj! I'm drinking, thus will be emo in a bit. If I don't lose consciousness, I'll probably write a rambling and pretentious reply to you later. Right now I'm too self-aware and scared to say anything true.

    You're a brighton/sheffield guy too? Even if a december meet isn't happening, I'd love to swap stories of brighton with you in jan when ashley visits!

    Mmn. Mcoy's only lost 1 of his last 11 games, and is a bit of a drawmeister. He changes tactics a fair bit, and I'm genuinely scared of pretty much all of my matches. I don't think I've set terribly good tactics at all. Probably going to change them about 5 times before the game though.

    Well seeing as us northern ken are all facing similar time/distance issues, and seeing as ReZ suggested we have another meet at the same time and do some silly phone call or something, it seemed sensible :P Plus, like, nobody's actually said they'll come yet.

    Rummy; the logistics just don't seem to match up too great. It'd take 4 hours to get there, and as it's a sunday it'd have to be a total of 8 hours travelling for what would be maybe 4 hours of meet. Sunday I get time and a half at work, too, so I'd be spending £50 rather than earning it... I want to go, and my sheff meet is mostly not going to happen, I imagine, because I really can't be arsed to organise it.

    I really, really want to comment on the clark/louis relationship, and how I felt this episode dealt with it, but really! I only know of it from the movies and The Adventures of Louis and Clark, so I can't risk sounding like a know-it-all (for once). I think there's a lot more weight with the Louis/clark relationship than there was with Lana. Lana made it excessively Dawson's Creek-esque. This relationship is a lot more emotive and cerebral, and has a larger scope to play with -- surely why it has become such an eponymous duo in the first place.

    Ok. I would say videogames haven't impacted my life at all, beyond the videogame's sister that is the internet. Gaming hasn't notably altered my character, but it has been the ultimate common ground for many of us as we journeyed through the netosphere. It's like blaming weed for crack addiction - while there's a tenuous link, there's really no strong correlation. Where I work we sell a lot of edutainment games. There are actually several platforms (two main ones -- v-tech and leapfrog) that have a lot of big-brand names who release games that promote both gaming experience as well as, well, learning. I may be mistaken but I think disney have a stake in v-tech, and as such they release a lot of pixar-related games to encourage positive thinking in small children, or whatever. Gaming really has come a long way, even if you just concentrate on this area. Here lies space for further discussion. A) because gaming is supposed to be escapism; It is better to let a nutter kill in-game if it means they're less likely to commit the same act in reality. The subconscious aspect is, as I said, a part of the edutainment sector, which is booming more than you realise (seeing as you're not a kid/parent). Partly, we have nintendo to thank for this, due to their mass-appeal, gaming-does-more-than-entertain (it makes you smarter and fitter!) mentality. That our entire lives are subconscious manipulations is definitely a debate for another topic.

    My God. Just watched the same smallville episode. Seriously, this is easily the best season so far. Iltarted off record-breakingly slow, but they're really seeping into all sorts of avenues regarding the superman legacy. It's really surreal to still be calling the show smalville, at this point.

    My xbox360 collection is made up of nearly entirely 18-rated games. Flink; you say that different violent movies bring different violence to the table -- I say that the difference is irrelevent. The point is that parents don't think games are equally disturbing or obscene as movies are. I thus suggest that we let parents make their mistakes, and then let them learn from it. They only have themselves to blame. Personally, working where I do, I've declined the sale of not only MW2, but also pretty much a billion games to customers because they've been unable to show proof. Sometimes I've even had to decline to give them the game even though they've already paid for it, because they don't have proof of age. So long as the game makers and the game retailers are upholding the law, then there simply is no argument at all. Those responsible for the protection of younger people's minds should really step the fuck up and do their jobs. But seriously - did anyone see the show in question?
