Weirdness

I've spent most of this evening defending the rights of Gay Mandalorians.

Huh.

Also, my new OT3: Mary Shelley/Percy Bysshe Shelley/Aries

Which is what happens when you're discussing emo poets and you ask the wrong person, "Who was that guy? You know, hung out with Percy Bysshe Shelley. Ran off to Greece to fight in those wars..."

Also, when I was a kid (like eight or twelve) these were the sort of grown-ups I wanted to be just like.

Of course, I grew up, and there weren't any left. And you can't really do it on your own. At least, not without a lot more confidence than I have.

I just read that they are developing a special edition of the Star Wars Lego games, both games in one, souped up for the 360 and PS3, with additional features and a few more levels... I'm not inclined to pay to pay a game twice, but more Lego Star Wars?

I'm not too excited about the thought of Lego Batman which is I understand going to be the next new lego game.


I'll see if I can get the comics from my library. I have a few virtual comics, but for some reason I find reading a comic off the monitor a much less satisyfing experiance than sitting down with the paper in my hand, and a cup of tea, and turning the pages.

Trust me then, you do not want details.

I'd be more excited about the lego star wars revelation if I had or was likely to get either a 360 or a PS3, but we look mostly likely to get a Wii if anything, and even then no time soon. (I get the least say in such things because I nearly never play games).

Lego Batman?! Wow, that's...hilarious! But then, this webcomic strip (http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20050610.html) has shown me the light; Batman is comedy gold. He can make anything funny. Just imagine him gardening...

I completely agree! Though I've developed a strange fondness for the individual issues - I love sitting down with a huge stack of single-issue comics. I think I like the 1940s serialised nostalgia (well, a 1980s child's Sky-Captain twisted imagined nostalgia...) they bring with them. It's a different style and pace of story telling.

Though I do have digital copies of my favourite comics in case something happens to the actual paper copies. Fortunately I don't collect too many comics or I think I'd have serious storage issues...

I ~might~ get a 360 if the price comes down a bit more, and if they release an updated version of the machine that runs just a little bit quieter. The damned things sound like hoovers the way they are at the moment.

As for the PS3, it's just too expensive for a console. If I'm spending that sort of money, I'll get a cutting edge PC instead.

And yep, Lego Batman is next. There were rumours that a Lego Indiana Jones was in design too.
