beccatoriaEh, haven't posted in a while. This week has been kind of crappy, and I'm hating work. Compounding this is the fact that I'm convinced that I've lost a freakin' referral even though I can't find any evidence of it - no matter how hard I've looked. So, because of me, there's probably some poor, mad old woman, convinced she's a teapot, leaving her gas on and it's all my fault. God I feel terrible. I really hope I'm imagining it...
Moving on to brighter things, here's what I've been doing over the last week - this is long, meandering and largely pointless, so feel free to move right on :)
1. Vidding. It is not going well. Rather, I should say, it's proving tricky but it is moving forwards, albeit at a snail's pace. Mostly it's technical problems with my vidding program (Windows Movie Maker 2 - I know, I'm so high tech!) Bitch keeps crashing. Well...it'll be done one day. I'm just starting to wish it wasn't eating hours of my evening at a time.
2. I'm REALLY looking forward to Heroes. It's such an awesome show. I don't even seem to care about the rather dodgy gender stuff that's going on. I mean (and I do this while full of love for the show and in the firm belief that many of these characters are deeply interesting), it's kind of hilarious. I'm gonna list all the female character I can think of that've been in this show and y'all tell me if I missed one -
Niki/Jessica Sanders - Niki's spent her entire time on the show being manipulated, terrified and imprisoned, frequently by her own subconscious (though she does win the occasional small battle) while Jessica is painted as a sex-bomb villain.
Claire Bennett- Despite being literally indestructable, a large part of the storyline surrounding saving the world seems to hinge on her being the damsel in distress in need of saving. Still she has potential. And the fact that she's damn important. Though it now seems Peter is more so.
Simone Deveaux - Death through Mangst after existing mostly as a love interest for two men to pose over. Real shame, she rocked.
...which basically concludes the major female characters, which, given the size of the cast, says something. But, moving on.
Eden McCain - Murdered by Sylar.
Cheerleader Jackie - Murdered by Sylar.
That Woman Who Could Hear Real Well - Murdered by Sylar.
Waitress Charlie - Murdered by Sylar.
Mrs Bennett - proves to have some real, incredible strength at the end, but is basically a characature housewife who's constantly mind-raped for most of the series.
Candice - total queen bitch.
Hana Gittelman- not enough to really say yet. All she's done is show up with some info. We have no idea what her opinion of the hostage situation might have been.
Jan Parkman - Difficult. I don't think the intention is to show either her or Matt as the "bad guy" in their relationship, but still, she's having an affair with her husband's workmate and the "fix" (although again, credit to the show that I don't think it's supposed to be a magic cure-all fix) is that she gets knocked up.
Kimiko Nakamura - We don't see much of her, and I know there are cultural issues, but she's subordinated to her father and needs her brother to "save her".
FBI Audrey - Hmm, possibly we have found a capable, strong woman who's only slightly bitchified! Woohoo! Though then she gets demoted and dropped in the shit by her boss.
Niki's Friend with Red Hair - well, she's barely in it and she's kinda dumb and a characature.
Nathan's Wife Who's Name I Can't Remember - Cuckolded and crippled under tragic circumstances.
Mohiner's Ma - Again, not really in it enough to judge. I'd say she seems reasonably characterised, and that her secrecy over his sister isn't really gender-based. In fact, see...
Shanti Suresh - Okay, so she's dead, and possibly there's some gender issues that we yet again have a tragic, dead girl, but for once, it's the girl that's more important than the boy.
Hope - Manipulates men (the heroes) with her sexuality.
Angela Petrelli - Well, due to the reveal in the last five minutes, I'ma go with AWESOME! I suppose I should reserve judgement, but AWESOME!
So...there we have it. I'm sure you could probably come up with a similar list (and I'm sure I've left some off that one) for, well, anything. But still, from a "women in refrigerators" perspective it sure is interesting. And the characters that are the best out of that list are Angela Petrelli who only became awesome in the last five minutes of footage, a DEAD CHILD, and the literal Cheerleader-In-Distress in literal need of saving.
Eh. I still love my show and am HUGELY excited about it. :)
3. Star Wars: Legacy. This is a comic book series and it is AWESOME. It's set about a hundred and forty years after the death star gets blown up and manages the crazy task of incorporating and referencing pretty much everything that's happened in the Extended Universe up to that point while still being a great "jumping in" point for people who don't know about all that.
It's about ten issues in, the art is great, the writing is great, the colours are great. The ideas behind it are interesting. It shows the seedy underbelly of the universe again - something that comes and goes and is sorely under represented in most of the novels. There's an honest-to-god squid-man pirate in purple pantaloons with a mechanical claw peg-leg! Also - crazy aliens! There are actual aliens in prominent roles! Unless you're talking about the Empire (which is very human-centric) most characters you see aren't actually human!. Visually this just makes the whole thing a treat.
You want the Empire? You've got the Empire!
You want the New Republic (or the Galactic Alliance as they're now calling it?)? Well, you've sort of got that too, though they're fragmented and *gasp* almost like the Rebellion!
You want Sith? You've got Sith!
You want Skywalkers? You've got Skywalkers!
You want Jedi? Real, proper wise Jedi? You've got Jedi!
You want smugglers and pirates and spies? You've got 'em!
You want the Yuuzhan Vong war to not the TOTALLY FREAKIN' FORGOTTEN?! IT ISN'T!
You want a vast eeeevil Empire you can really hate, while also getting a more Zahnlike practical, honourable (in its way) Empire? What's more, you want the non-evil Empire to be running a *gasp* Rebellion against the evil Empire? You got it!
And oddly, the scruffy, angsty hero isn't anywhere near as irritating as I'd usually find him. I think it's because, well, it's a subtle difference but it's not that he's a reluctant hero angsting about his role, he's just refusing to be a hero. And the thing that finally makes his decision to become a more active agent in his own future is - well, to quote him: "No one dies for me! Never again!" Which sounds, well, horrifically cheesy, so perhaps it's context. But I respect that instead of having someone die for him and then angsting about whether he was worth it, or having someone die because of his refusal to act, or having someone die and then it still being all about him as so often happens withhemoes heroes, he acts. He refuses to let this happen. Perhaps it's that I don't feel he's attention seeking the way a lot of stock emo characters do (even though he would deserve to more than some). He just genuinely, bottom line, feels he's not worth someone else's life. Again, it might be context, but it was actually quite affecting.
But the point is, this series is crack. And next issue, CADE DUELS VADER FOR THE PANTS OF DESTINY!
...or perhaps I should just spent less time on the theforce.net literature forums...
Anyway, I love this series so much I went out and spent my grocery money on all the back issues of a COMPLETLEY DIFFERENT STAR WARS COMIC BOOK SERIES! I can't help it. The idea of a clumsy Jedi was just too hilarious.
4. Curse of the Golden Flower. Well, I liked it. I mean, come on, Gong Li! GONG LI! Um, what I mean to say is, Gong Li's acting is breathtaking. I think it was a bit too slow for Addy. And it gave Kevie flashbacks and now he hasn't slept well in over a week (which he claims is not a direct result but I have other suspicions) which means neither have I, which means I have a tiredness headache and I'm trying to vid with the vidding program of crashing doom! Hooray!
Um, where was I? Oh yes. Gong Li, FTW.
5. I am officially boycotting Wizards of the Coast. They cancelled Dungeon Magazine and Dragon Magazine. Those things are older than me! Wizards: I put up with you driving D&D into the ground. I put up with the bizarre twist of irony that allowed you to come up with something so beautiful as the Open License only to shit all over the spirit of it. I put up with you stealing back every interesting liscense to yourselves as soon as anyone else did anything interesting and financially succesful with it, only to drive it further into the ground yourselves. The occasional Dragon magazine was basically the only thing of yours we ever bought anymore and now even that is denied us. My money will be going to Paizo. To Fantasy Flight Games, and possibly to White Wolf (if I ever get over my bitterness about WoD 2.0, which I'm slowly doing, thanks, in large part, to your continued bone-headed rollplayerness; YOU'RE DRIVING ME INTO THE ARMS OF YOUR COMPETITION!)
Wizards? Fuck you. And your little kobold too.
Do I sound bitter? Well guess what. I AM. Plus this is yet again going to screw over Friendly Local Game shops like crap. *sigh*
Plus nearly every game we've been scheduled to have for the past two weeks has been cancelled. I'm getting the shakes. I NEED TO PRETEND I'M AN ELF AGAIN, DAMMIT!
6. Life On Mars - I don't ever really post about this, but I've liked this show since![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hmpf showed it to me back at the start of February, and I watched the second season on the telly. I was enjoying it, even though it initially didn't appeal to me. It convinced me that the era was really...tragic, maybe? The marked increase in so many bad things (football hooliganism, racial violence and hate crimes, heroin) along with the widespread police corruption. The genuine moral tangles of Gene Hunt trying to keep his city safe even if it meant being bent, of Sam trying to keep his conscience clean. It never struck me as amoral so much as a web of conflicting moral viewpoints. It was a show all about morals - what they are, why you believe them, how you justify them, what you'll do to keep them intact.
Of course the ending fucked that right up. Buthmpf said all that for me already here: http://hmpf.livejournal.com/162034.html#cutid1
Hmm...and that's been about the size of my week so far. Hope y'alls has been interesting :)

Date: 2007-04-20 07:50 pm (UTC)... Dragon magazine was still going?
no subject
Date: 2007-04-20 09:19 pm (UTC)Yes and yes. Dragon magazine that survived D&D itself being cancelled (way back when), has now been cancelled after 24 months of its highest sales ever. *headdesk*
I'm not sure why I'm so mad about this since I've been 'meh' about just about everything Wizards have done for...forever, but this is just somehow...sacrilege.
no subject
Date: 2007-04-20 10:12 pm (UTC)Oh, no, wait, White Dwarf, that was my least favourite. Because it used to be *so* good, and then went down the toilet big time.
no subject
Date: 2007-04-21 06:57 am (UTC)And I don't disagree about Dragon - it wasn't always a good mag. In fact most of the time I never bought it. But it did sometimes have moments of brilliance (at least if you were willing to concede that 3.0 was the best edition of D&D by far) as evidenced in Paizo's Dragon Compendium which is a great book full of all the articles that were actually *interesting* and *flavourful*. Which Wizards then promptly refused to allow them to publish Volume 2 of. *headdesk*
So...it isn't so much that I'll miss the actual magazine, which was driven into the ground along with pretty much everything else since WotC realised this game could actually make *money* and published 3.Ripoff, it's more that it was an *institution* that many people *did* love which they've stopped publishing (to the detriment of the livelihoods of many local game stores which are struggling anyway) for, well, literally no good reason except they're refusing to license anything anymore.
It's kind of like a symbol of the company's crappy attitude and bizarre decisions and since it's not around anymore I might as well make a conscious decision to tell them to go fuck themselves.
I hope the hole in the market gives a leg up to a better gaming mag.
...yeah, I know, it's odd I'm taking it this personal - I think like I said, it's the symbol of all Wizards of the Coast have fucked up and destroyed in my game, even if I won't actually miss the magazine, specifically, that much.
no subject
Date: 2007-04-21 09:54 am (UTC)God WD used to be good though. Pre issue 100. When they ran articles and adventures for non GW products.
MMm. And yes, I mostly left gaming around the time CCGs took over, and killed rpgs, and WoTC bought out AD&D and brought out the D20 system, which I hated.
Are there still gaming stores out there?
no subject
Date: 2007-04-21 11:28 am (UTC)The d20 system is a blessing and a curse. It's SO much better (imo) than AD&D. It's simple, the core rules are balanced, and it's much easier to play any species as any class - much easier to round out your character in unexpected ways, like a physically combative wizard or a skillful fighter. But it is still focused far more on roll-the-diceplay not role-play. At least, as it's written in the book. My group's games? Tend more towards the roleplay aspect with awesome plots and character development and focus on stories because we have an awesome GM. But that's mostly luck. And to be honest, as long as the system isn't flat-out broken, it doesn't matter so much.
Also, the open license gave a real boost to the gaming industry. Unfortunately, everyone started by crap like Mongoose Publishing instead of the better stuff like Fantasy Flight Games. So...like I said...at least RPGs are more popular. Unfortunately they're also turning into wargames.
Necromunda is a great little miniatures game - because for starters you only need about eight or ten models. Ever. You play a gang (more like a 1980s style gang than a gansta style gang) in the underside of a giant hive city. As you play your gangers get experience, more abilities, get wounded, sometimes die - they develop their own characters. You roll up random events, and buy random shit at the shops and roll up scenarios to fight in, with loads of crazy scenery and catwalks and drops and stuff. You end up with randomly generated nuts plotlines, like Kev's gang - the leader accidentally got hooked on drugs and blinded and then the heavy weapons dude decides to challenge him for leadership, shoots him in the back and watches as he falls off the edge of a building. Um, yeah. Blathering - I love Necromunda!
Rogue Trader was basically 1st edition Warhammer 40,000. It's a lot crazier with a lot more randomness and smaller armies and advancement like in Necromunda for the characters. Because you have to roll per centage chances to see what your characters and vehicles start off with, you end up with crazy shit like my SPACE CAR - I had a land vehicle, and rolled up the very-small-chance that it had flight mode and one of the special features was a sealed atmosphere generator. My jet plane has a portable torture rack... Just...It's fun and daft and gives you stuff you'd never imagine making up.
Space Hulk is pretty cool - Kev's got the game and all the expansions. The literal against-the-clock is something GW never really went back to and it's a shame.
I've only actually played Talisman once. And it was with a very cranky man who wasn't happy that I didn't like my model and wanted to replace him with a Captain Crais action figure...

does this mean you made another vid?
i always end up on this entry when i hit the link.
please say there's another beccatoria vid 'cause i love your vids - especially 'fast car' and 'jesus walks'! :-)
ooh, and speaking of them: i always get a 'This Account Has Been Suspended' when i try to go to your vids page.

Date: 2007-04-20 09:24 pm (UTC)It's great to hear that you like the vids - everyone seems to like Jesus Walks so it's nice to see Fast Car get some love :)
I haven't made a new vid yet - I'm about two thirds of the way through one right now. It was meant to be done this weekend, but now I'm thinking next weekend would be a more realistic estimate.
The link you're talking about is an lj-cut to that section of the post, not a link to the video itself, sadly.

Date: 2007-04-22 11:57 am (UTC)makes me feel dirty for reading so many EU novels in the 90s that dealt with the New Republic battling the so called "last remnants of the empire"
please please tell me they have run out of super weapons though.
That all said and done i really enjoy most of the EU stuff, comics, games, books and all the depth it adds.

Date: 2007-04-23 04:57 pm (UTC)And the Empire eventually makes peace with the New Republic and helps them battle this other threat, eventually both of them join the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances (after the New Republic basically collapses). At some unknown point in the future they break away and become an influence in galactic politics again (presumably after they actually get another Emperor - they don't have one currently). But that happens in a big gap in which there are currently no stories.
I can see how you might feel cheated first hearing about it. But it's really interesting. The Empire morphs from this evil thing into a very militaristic, and kinda dictatorial, but far from evil and very efficient government. So the Empire that resurges is extremely different from the old one - not ruled by Sith for a start - and actually possibly more popular than the Galactic Alliance.
Of course then the Emperor gets deposed by Sith and end up...well...leading a Rebellion and trying to convince the GA to ally with him. It's...interesting. :)

Date: 2007-04-27 03:14 am (UTC)I find it hard to get back into the star wars EU, only ever listened to a few new jedi order speaking books i downloaded and just found them confusing rather than enjoyable. The huge amount of characters that have been introduced overy the years can be tough to get to grips with if you have missed a book or two, or 20 or so in my case :P

Date: 2007-08-02 03:03 pm (UTC)Hana was also murdered by Matt in the future storyline. She has a stronger storyline in the online PDFs at nbc.com and actually serves a purpose there. Won't give you anymore info because you need to go read, lady!
Candice: Queen Bitch -- with eating disorder and therefore self-esteem/image issues.
I think I've been here before...
Date: 2007-10-06 02:15 pm (UTC)>But still, from a "women in refrigerators" perspective it sure is interesting.
Kinda fitting, isn't it? Even there, it follows its model...
Also, that Star Wars comic series sounds fun. I may have to read that, if I ever manage to visit you long enough. ;-)
(I'm really seriously thinking about moving to Britain after uni now, btw. That would be 2009.)
