This is now my favorite game. Since finishing it yesterday I’ve been moping about, unmotivated. A strategy guide has been ordered and should arrive in a few days. Depending on how many things I missed, a second play-through may soon be in order (which is ridiculous, for a 60 hour game).

But I’m so very much in love with it, it can’t be helped.

Boring, pretentious, cheesy. Terrible writing. Ought to have been edited to at least half its length.

Completely fantastic and hilarious. If they don’t release the remaining episodes in the states, I will be forced to pay ridiculous import prices and learn to use Region 2 DVDs… but it would be worth it.

‘Worth consuming’ solely for technical appreciation. The acting and direction are both amazing, but the story falls flat. Garrigan is not well developed, nor are several of the more minor supporting characters who dash in and out of the plot with little or no explanation.

They tied the ending together far too neatly, lending the impression that everything is alright now. Additional footnotes at the end of the film with updates on Uganda (or any number of equally troubled African nations) would have been a nice touch and expanded the scope.

Gorgeous cinematography, but Van Sant didn’t seem to have anything to say. By closely following the victims and omitting any explanation or motivation for the killers’ actions (instead showing them playing FPS and purchasing guns), it just comes off as flat and emotionally manipulative. GVS is better than this, and is fully capable of showing the good within the awful. Why he chose not to bewilders me.

This was extremely hit or miss. I loved arrondissements Ve (Berges/Chadha), IVe (Van Sant), XVIe (Salles/Thomas) and VIIe (Chomet), but loathed Ier (Coen brothers), XIIIe (Doyle) and VIIIe (Natali). Most else was decent but forgettable.

Several days ago a program about Big Bang theory and all sorts of other things regarding the universe was on TV. The universe is terrifyingly complex, and since I’m unable to turn to religion I figured I’d better start brushing up on my math and science unless I want to be morbidly depressed until the end of my days.

Enter: this book! This was the perfect refresher course for the algebra I started dozing off in during high school. The explanations are clear and concise with plenty of step-by-step examples. There are a few errors in the answers section, and one typo made on an equation itself had me swearing profusely until I realized it was the book’s fault, not mine.

She has a book on Forgotten Calculus as well, but that may be a problem since I never learned it in the first place.

Worth consuming, but luckily I caught an uncut version on TV—I wouldn’t spend money on it. It was fine, technically, but felt tremendously abbreviated. I haven’t read the book yet, so I suppose that will have to follow, but judging from Austen’s other work I would imagine that this is not doing it justice.

Wonderful and gorgeous. I can’t think of a single thing wrong with it, though a hundred that were done perfectly. I loved that the guitar strings were never trimmed. The credits began to roll and no one in the theatre budged in their seats.

I’d been hearing about this movie for years and finally got around to watching it. It is fantastic in every way.
