The themepark I went to is famed for having one of the most terrifying rides ever, and gaaaaah just thinking about it makes me want to curl up on the floor. I am not very good at heights. But we did go on one where you spin around really fast! It was fun. I nearly threw up. A sure sign of quality. RIGHT NOW, in our crazy upside-down land, it's alternating cloud and sun because the wind is apparently going for a speed record. All the washing's gone to one side of the line, it's pretty amazing. I'm wondering if any second now it'll make a bid for freedom, horrible horrible freedom.
The original PC release had the choice of - hmm, I think Gordon or Alyx or the G-man (he's the besuited guy who talks funny). I'm pretty sure in the game there wasn't even a character model for Gordon. (Isn't it, though. Oh, Kojima, you so crazy, don't ever stop being awesome.)
Heee! Fondness for paperwork! Don't worry, you're not alone. You probably haven't replayed Thief three times in order to find all the paper/loot/scenery/conversation you missed out on. (I'm on my third playthrough right now, trying to do something differently than I did the first time before our Xbox blew up). Yeah, I love that guy, he never even says anything, but the guard mocks him and it's hilarious. That WHOLE mission is completely optional - you might play through the whole game without triggering it. Which is great. "There was a HOLE here. It's gone now." I remember seeing that and just feeling vaguely creeped out with how little sense it made. And that whole door into darkness thing - which does make sense, later, and it gives me the raging heeby-jeebies just thinking about it. Brrrr.
I WILL NEVER STOP. (Oooh, you haven't heard me in real life. Since I rarely get the opportunity to babble about things I adore, I sort of seem to bottle it up until I'm asked, and then they drown in a tsunami of blithering fangirl. You'd be amazed at how quiet I am until then.) Splinter Cell is - hmmm. I kind of meh it, but it does a better job of seeming like a real 'stealth' game than MGS. I just don't think the story is that compelling (I don't like Tom Clancy) but the environments are pretty high on the wow meter. It's just cause I don't like my games to be too realistic, if that makes any sense.
I WAS SO CREEPED OUT BY THAT MOVIE. Especially with the gargoyle thing at the end. Blarrrgh. I watched it again a little while ago and went "...Sheesh. No wonder I was so afraid of it, this thing is whacked, yo." I also went, "PHOEBUS IS VOICED BY THE GUY WHO PLAYS TULIO :D :D :D :D" because, well, blithering fangirl. He is, too. I am an enormous dork in that I still love all my Disney movies. Fuck the misogynism, THEY'RE STILL AWESOME MOVIES.
Throat cancer. It totally sucks. I think Iroh's staying on the show, though, and they're getting someone else who'll sound like Mako as much as possible. Because Iroh rocks and is fabulous and great. (They don't air it over here, narrrgh, and I don't have pay TV, narrrgh, so I haven't seen most of season 2 and am basically stuffing socks in my ears goin LALALA whenever someone starts talking about it because I DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED FOR THIS GLORIOUS SHOW.)
Okay! His range is pretty astonishing, though. He can do Totally Gruff and Badass and Adorably Drunk and Singing Happily and Really Goddamn Creepy and, er, A Speech Impediment That Stops Clocks. A lot of his voices sound nothing like each other. He's in System Shock, as well, and he does one of the voices of The Many which arrrrgh. "You are so very alone." You only have to ask, remember! I am hoping you get to play it.
I think I did get a few from a Mary, but she was telling me how I was such a manly stud and I needed to fornicate RIGHT NOW, in somewhat broken English. And there was a Sunderland. That one tried to get me to send them money. James, I didn't think you'd fallen that far.
