Some bizarre thing that seems entertaining (C/P'd from )

I will browse the gallery of the next 5-10 people (depending how many actually read this) to comment and pick out my three favouritest deviations (gallery must be 4 deviations or higher). The downside is you have to do the same for me and 4-9 others etc

Mireth gets this already, because she mentioned me in hers:
Im not choosing the penguins or the one that includes me, because obviously, I have a distinct bias towards them.

Game Report:

Have been playing Medal of Honor: Airborne recently. Completed it in under a day (and that wasnt constant playing either), so it is pretty short.
Luckily it has replayability, so I am not done with it yet.
It is a fun game and worth a play if you're an FPS fan.

Also have dug up Battlefield Vietnam from the depths, to enjoy some high quality music and genocide.

I also have Bioshock....and I have found it to be incredibly overrated, and also incredibly unstable. The plot is quite good, but the actual killing aspect of it I just find...lacking. It also randomly crashes, and secureROM can get fucked up their stupid asses.

Played Supreme Commander, not a bad RTS but I can't see myself playing it for too long. It just doesnt have the fun aspect that C&C has for example.

I also played a beta of World in Conflict recently, seemed like a good game and will most likely get that when it comes out.

Rainbow Six: Vegas is also a very fun game, worth playing if you're an FPS fan.

Test Drive Unlimited is also a very fun driving game, with some good cars to play with and keeps you entertained for hours...but has some stability problems and I know it has a lot of cars...but more would always be nice.

Films Watched Recently:

This is England: Very good film

Dead Mans Shoes: Very good film

Death Proof: Entertaining Film

Akira: (Watched it again last night). Man I forgot how bizarre that film is...still good though

300: Oh how I love it.

Bourne Ultimatum: Not a bad film with regard to plot etc...but a few points:

- SHAKY CAM JUST GETS ANNOYING. GIVE THE CAMERA TO SOMEONE WITHOUT PARKINSONS.
I don't mind camera shake with foot chases or something, but sometimes it was doing it in just normal scenes...and it is just annoying.

- Lots of quick confusing cuts in fight scenes.
I know fights are confusing and fast, but I'd rather know whats going on

(In a related matter, UGC have really let the old premier screen go to the dogs, 20% of the seats are broken/missing, the tables are sticky and the foyer for the screen is a store room).
