Audacity of Huge is made of win. All the new material I've heard from SMD is just fucking quality stuff- I'm so psyched for their new album and, more so, their Sheffield gig in September.

I think you'd be happier at HMV Dyson. Everything I've heard about Games Testing makes it sound pretty unpleasant work. one story I heard was from GTAIV: some guy had to walk around Liberty City on foot and walk in to every single door in the game to make sure players wouldn't walk through the scenery when they released it. that was his job. 9-5. -

That....that's insanity. I'm going to trademark some punctuation. See how they roll with that.

I thought the SFX in The Thing were absolutely mind blowing. I mean, I have a serious nerd on for animatronics anyway, but the ones they used there were just...phenomenal. It's a fucking great bit of cinema too. Wonderfully paced, genuinely menacing, psychological...got all you need for a dark bit of sci-fi. I'd rate it alongside The Terminator. Ya'll know that's the shit!

Cheers guys. I think I'm done freaking out now. Feeling a bit raw though. stupid cat...trying to die on me...asshole.

So like...weird day. went to jayseven's house warming last night. Good times (he sends his regards from internet-less serfdom, I'm sure) so today, hungover and watching awesome 30 rock all afternoon then I got an interview for the journalism masters at sheffield, which was ace. then my cat has to go to the vets and I wasn't sure I'd ever see him again. Cue me sobbing like a baby and being reduced to a bloody wreck. I literally had to just walk out the room without talking to anyone to hold off on breaking down before I got some privacy. Thankfully, vet reckons he has a treatable thyroid problem rather than kidney failure. I'm still wrecked from it though. Even though he's (probably) going to be alright, I'm almost crying again just writing this.

The thought of this thread staying open terrifies me more.

I include my various web contributions alongside my magazine publications on my c.v but I'd never put my mod status down. It's trivial and hobbyist- it doesn't relate to work. -
Yeeeess! that looks ace!

I'll take a look if you like. Despite my less than stellar employment record I actually have a great C.V :P -
Come to Sheffield! :p

Locked for massive fail.

Yes. Absolutely.

I think he's been superb in Dark Reign, actually. His relationship with Osborn has been brilliantly handled in Dark Avengers (with the parallels between the void and the green goblin) and the fact that everyone is basically shit scared of him is great. I can't wait to see what happens with him once it all falls apart.

The Sentry arc is my favourite so far. Genius way of doing the origin story and establishing him the MU where did The Sentry go in Civil War? Seems odd that they set him up in New Avengers as a major player then Millar totally ignored him in the main Civil War arc. Strange. Especially as he could have done the role played by that weird cyborg Thor thing.

Breaking Bad should have won everything. Or shared it with Mad Men.

Owch. oh well! oh I forgot to mention: I bought the second New Avengers hardback. Absolutely immense series.
-
huh that's weird. Call them!

Ted Mosby: the man can pull off corduroy. Admirably so.
