GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Well, it's been a little while since my last blog, but not nearly so long as the gap between that blog and the one before, but a nice bit of time has it been. Still working at Tim Hortons, and for some odd reason.. WE SELL APPLES NOW!!?!?!? Just imagine this scenario:

-"Hi there, I'd like a Large Double Double and a nutritious apple."

Who wants an apple with their coffee? Sometimes two opposites work well, such as toast and chocolate sauce, but a coffee and an apple? Sure it's nutritious, but most people who enter Tim Hortons are after a coffee and donut!

Anyhow, I've started completing graphics for Synergistic Studios, just as I said I was going to. I've so far gotten several sprites done, and I must admit that I am getting much better at making them!

That's skill right there

Lately, I've bought several movies, or else my parents have bought. THe most I can remember are Sweeny Todd, Virtuosity, Snatch, and Swordfish.

Sweeny Todd is a very interesting movie starring Johnny Depp. He is the 'demon barber of Fleet Street.' When people come in for a shave, he kills them, and the lady he's living with (his wife IRL) turns them into meat pies. It's a very dark and gory movie.

I couldn't understand the movie Snatch most of the time, since half of them had incomprehensible accents, but there was a very interesting plot underneath once you got past all the cursing.

I really enjoyed Virtuosity, as any geek would. A crazy computer (actor from Gladiator) comes to life and Denzel Washington has to kill him. It is a really fun movie, and quite intriguing.

I've seen Swordfish before on the television, and it's quite spectacular. It's also one of a geek's favourites (main character is the Wolverine from X-Men and is a world-****hacker).

Beyond movies, I'm still playing The Witcher and Team Fortress 2. The Witcher is proving to be a VERY long game (which is a good thing), and Team Fortress 2 always gives some sweet action. In fact, I'm getting a whiff of rocket-jumping-addiction madness coming... must play!!!! Now excuse me as I end this blog early.

Interesting. I have also been on a sort of hiatus from gamespot incidently. I log back in after a while and what do I see? Blogs are down for maintenence. Sigh. Glad I caught yours this time around. BTW Sweeny Todd the movie was based on the opera (or musical as some argue) by Sondheim. Sondheim based it somewhat loosely on an urban legend of the 1800's in London. Trust the Victorian British to pick such a grusome subject.

Sweeny Todd was awesome. A friend of mine convinced me to watch it and I loved it.
