Movie Stuff
Nov. 14th, 2010 01:10 amWell, now I can safely say that I've seen Inception and No Country For Old Men. The movie that's been the talk of nerds everywhere and the movie that's been called good but depressing, respectively.
Inception was a very interesting movie, to say the least. Really made me think about the concept of dreams and the logic behind the dream world was pretty neat. Also, Eames was so gay for Arthur.
No Country for Old Men... I felt like I'd been bitchslapped after seeing it. It was a good movie, no doubt there, but it was not a movie you left feeling warm and fuzzy. Watched it with my parents. Mom got it and we actually had a lengthy talk bout it. Dad didn't get it. His loss, I think.
So yeah, good movies. Everyone should see Inception, but I wouldn't reccommend No Country for the faint of heart or anyone who hates depressing movies.

2. I shall write you back a paragraph explaining what I think about it and why.
3. Repost in your own journal if you want.
Current top fandoms are Transformers (always), Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Final Fantasy VII and X, The Boondocks, and Knights of the Old Republic. Feel free to use a fandom in my interest section as well, though.

Avatar: The Last Airbender
Oct. 12th, 2010 12:37 pmSo, a while back I told myself to actually sit down and watch this show because I heard it was awesome. Also, even though I heard the movie sucked, it did get me more curious to watch the cartoon.
Well, finally finished it yesterday. Let's just say this is one kid's show no adult should be ashamed of admitting they watch. Complex characters, awesome villains, an expansive and thought-out world, and kickass fight scenes. Also, I love all the little details throughout the series that shows the writers did their research. It makes the world this takes place in all the more realistic. Well, as realistic as a world with elemental manipulation magic can be. Also, the Grand Finale is probably one of the most epic things I've ever seen in an American cartoon.
I read somewhere that Toph and Azula were going to be boys, but I'm glad they were made girls. You don't see many female Big Guys, or female villains as crazy as Azula.
And, of course, the one subject I can't go without talking about: the voice acting. It was all excellent. I read that Aang and Toph were voiced by kids, and sometimes child voice actors can be hit and miss. Well, they did a good job with their characters and really got into their roles. Mark Hamill made for a terrifying Fire Lord Ozai, as did Grey DeLisle as Azula. Mako was a good choice for Uncle Iroh, shame that he died before the series finished. His replacement did a bang up job, though. I also couldn't believe they got people like Jason Isaacs and Robert Patrick. Also couldn't help but squee when I heard Ron Perlman. Also, they even had Kristoffer Tabori (aka HK-47 from Knights of the Old Republic) in a couple of episodes.
So yeah, long story short. The show's awesome, go watch it.

So yeah, just finished my latest game exploit, Fallout 3. It was a fun and very memorable ride.
No shortage of things to do, that's for sure. The Wasteland is so vast and there's just so much to see and do.
I also loved the voice work, especially from Liam Neeson and Malcolm McDowell. I also liked the inclusion of Paul Eiding, as he's one of my favorite voice actors. I'll always remember him as Perceptor from Transformers.
The companions were cool. I only got three of them though, Dogmeat, Charon, and Fawkes. I think Charon was my favorite, followed closely by Fawkes.
( Click at the risk of spoilers )
So, all in all, this was a very fun game and I enjoyed it a lot. Now I just have to decide what to play next. Might go back to Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker.

Leave a comment and:
► I'll respond by asking you five questions to satisfy my curiosity.
► Update your journal with the answers to your questions.
► Include this explanation and offer to ask other people questions.
- What are you up to these days?
Well, my brother got an xbox and so I've been playing some games on that, including Assassin's Creed II and Fallout 3. Also got into a few new fandoms.
- What did you want to be as a kid, has this changed since then?
I think I wanted to be a paleontologist. Definatly changed, and now I want to design video games.
- Your first fandom? And do you still follow?
Transformers G1. Still follow it, obviously.
- A talent you wish you had and why?
Whistling. Because it sounds nicer than my humming.
-The one thing you reccomend EVERYONE experiences. A place, a food, fandom, pairing, book, hobby, person, ANYTHING.
Hm, lemme think... I guess I'd reccomend that everyone play Mass Effect or Assassin's Creed. That or try TFA Jazz/Prowl. Or read anything by Neil Gaiman. Or watch at least one review by The Nostalgia Critic or Linkara.

Drabble - Sweet Ride
Jun. 15th, 2010 10:50 amTitle: Sweet Ride
Summary: After a typical robbery, Ed and Rummy try to steal a getaway car. Only problem is that this is no ordinary car. Boondocks/TFA crossover.
Characters: Ed Wuncler III, Gin Rummy, Lockdown
Rating: R, for language. Including casual use of a certain N-word.
AN: So, my newest interest is The Boondocks, especially the characters Ed and Rummy. I want to write some slash fics with them, once I get bitten by a decent enough bunny. Until then, have a minor Transformers Animated crossover. Yeah, this is a plot we've seen a thousand times in other fics, but I just couldn't resist. Just a quick dabble, nothing special. Has not been beta-read.

So, while everyone on my f-list seems to have gotten into Supernatural, I myself have gotten into Millenium. It's good. Really good. And not just because of Lance Henriksen, but he is a big factor.
I really like Frank Black. He's such a likeable character, being someone who wants to help people and catch the bad guys while also being a loving family man. But there's also the fact that he's usually tettering on the edge of insanity thanks to his ability. Probably the biggest reason he hasn't yet is because, more than anything, of the unconditional love he has for his wife and daughter. Makes for a really great character. I honestly think this is Lance Henriksen at his best and Frank is probably his best heroic performance, if not his best performance period. His best villainous performance would be Lockdown, of course.
The other characters are good too, and their actors do a fantastic job, especially Frank's wife, Catherine, and his young daughter, Jordan. The family definatly has a good dynamic going. At least one villain-of-the-week was a bit narmy, but the episode was still enjoyable.
I also can't help but notice how well-shot the series is. The camera work is excellent, and so is the lighting. The lighting really brings out Lance's features, especially his eyes. Every few minutes I find myself going "wow, Lance has pretty eyes".
Just about to finish season 1, then it's on to season 2. Now if only there was some fanfiction out there...

So, I ended up downloading Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time to the Wii. Haven't played that game in years. Quite a bit of nostalgia for me, plus the fact that it's the greatest game ever. Gonna be playing it a lot while I give Mass Effect a break.
It's actually a fairly different experience playing it now from when I played it as a kid. Back then it was the first "big game" I ever played and it was kind of overwhelming, with all the enemies and the strategies you had to use. Playing it now, as a seasoned gamer, I have more confidance while going through it while still having as much fun as I did playing it as a kid. Though the skeletons in Hyrule Field still freak me out. I'm not looking forward to the Shadow Temple and the Bottom of the Well either. Still, I'm glad I have this chance to relive my childhood and play such a great game again.
In other news, I started reading the Temeraire series, because I'd heard a lot of great things about it and I like books about dragons. It's been pretty good so far. Started Throne of Jade today, and I'm eager to see how it turns out.
