Some more stuff....

Two in one day.
Shut up.

Since my work consists of long periods of mind destroying boringness (or in my case time to hone my neuroticism). I think I shall list some movies and video games I've really been into recently.

Movies

1.Atonemet.

Jesus Christ is this movie depressing. I challenge anyone to watch it and not openly weep. Just Desolate, unrequited love at it's best/worst. Well unrequited isn't quite right, but it gets the point across. And the little girl in the movie is possibly the most despicable person in the history of film.

2. The Mist

I read the short story years ago (for those who don't know . It was a Steven King short story originally published in "Skeleton Crew". First story ion the book).
This movies ending is possibly one of the most brutal things i've seen in a long while. King has even gone on record to say that he enjoys this ending more than the original. Plus Frank Darabont directed this. He seems to be the only director able to get King's work across on celuloid.

3. No country for old men

No need to explain. Just go see it.

4.King of Kong

Story of a man trying to get the world record score on Donkey Kong.While it's presented as a documentary, I really question some of it. Regardless, worth a watching if you have any love for video games. Plus Billy Mitchell (the current record holder for Pac-man) is an insufferable cocksucker.



Games

1.Bioshock

I've beaten this game twice, and I'm still going back for more. Great First Person Shooter with RPG elements. Takes place in an underwater city in 1960. Amazing Art Deco design, amazing music, amazing gameplay. You actually have a morality based decision to make at various points in the game. Do you kill a little girl to gain powers from her, or do you save her and gain less, but save your soul? Ending falls a little flat, but all in all a great game.


2.Mass Effect

If anyone has played the Knights of the Old Republic games for the original XBox, then you will love this game. More action oriented than either of those games, but deeper gameplay, and dialouge options. Took me somewhere around 30 hours to beat, and i'm going back through to get the rest of the achievments. Wonderful game.

alright, i'm tired of writing, and I feel I should go do some work.
