A friend was in town and he had bought broadway tickets for "Book of Mormon." I knew it was good but didn't realize that it was fucking good.
Any musical that tackles baby rape, forced female circumcision, etc... and make them funny while also making you aware of and informed of the issues in a serious manner is pretty damned awesome.
Few of the bit actors were -- Satan, Yoda, Frodo, Joseph Smith, Moroni, Jesus, Darth Vader, and Johnny Cochran.
Also "I've got maggots in my scrotum" is an awesome line.
Moments when a piece of entertainment completely rocked you.

I started watching Game of Thrones, finally, just finished season 1, need to wait for season 2 to download.
I would love to see, in some work, a king with just a huge pile of ratty, but comfortable cushions in his Cool But Impractical Chair.

I was bored today. I downloaded the new free multiplayer DLC for Mass Effect 3.
I had a fuck-ton of cash saved up from sporadic playing of multiplayer, decided to cash it in on the random item packs (I fucking hate those things), and got one of the new races.
The vorcha.
The motherfucking vorcha. Specifically, a vorcha soldier.
And I played one match with it.
It's now my favorite thing to play. I mean, it's nothing but straight-up visceral offense. One of their powers gives them boosts based on how many kills they've made (and when their boost kicks in, they do a sort of snarl-howl thing), and their heavy melee attack will explodes the head of enemies it kills. They also get a flamethrower that does a good chunk of damage in a hurry.
So, uh, good job Bioware. You did something right.

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Girl Genius has picked up lately, with the Generals demonstrating why they get the fancy hats.
You know way back in the start of the comic, when a jager used a Clank gun without a tripod and got blown into a wall? Apparently the Generals are much better at absorbing recoil.

So, I somehow only heard about the Slender Man meme stuff the other day. I got pointed to Marble Hornets.
And I'm surprised. It's given me the willies. It's something of a break of what's now the standard "horror" genre because it's being more subtle about it.
Also, the antagonists clearly could have killed the protagonists on many, many different occasions, but they haven't. I consider this a break from the normal horror junk because, clearly, death isn't the worst thing that could happen here.
I may actually shell out for the DVD just to watch it with people. So here.

The antagonist channel. Sometimes they post responses or taunts.
And A guide to events/videos. I use it to check when to look up the antagonist vids.

So, I've been playing Fire Embelm: Path Of Radiance off and on lately. The translation of FE games has always been spotty, but this one contains a major exception to that rule. The localization team did a fantastic job with Bastion. He sounds like he stepped out of a Shakespeare play, complete with Iambic Pentameter. It is absolutely glorious.

I just read Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, by Christopher Moore.
It did its job--made me laugh at some parts. Also, I rather enjoyed the character of Catfish Jefferson. Especially when Moore turned up the "description" knob when Catfish was playing the blues.
I mean, come on. A bluesman from Clarksville, Mississippi who can make you smell the Delta when he plays a little?

Keira Knightley apparently had a relatively major role in Phantom menace. She acted as Queen Amidala while the real queen acted as the handmaiden. So basically, Natalie Portman had Keira Knightley as her slave.
My imagination likes where this is going.

Just saw Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter.
The theatre was surprisingly empty for opening night, especially for an action flick. I guess people think the history flick part negates the "Kicking vampire ass part."
I thought it was awesome, and came away with one story idea and two game ideas between the movie and previews. I'm thinking about working on a story that starts as a gritty cop drama, then turns out to be supernatural horror as it takes place in the setting of AS.
One of the game ideas is, of course, AS in the 1800s.
The other one is this.
You've got Russian Santa Claus with a sword and dire reindeer, Aussie Easter Bunny with super speed, walking Easter Eggs an, apparently, boomerangs, the Sandman with a reflavoured Gold and Honey, and the tooth faerie, with an army of hummingbird-esque fae.
Also apparently, Jack Frost with the predictable cryomantic effects, based on the site, though I don't recall seeing him in the trailer (I'd be willing to bet he'll do a heel face turn about mid way through the movie).

Moore is pretty good. Read Lamb It's one of the funniest books pieces of entertainment I've ever read experienced in my life. Coyote Blue and Dirty Job are pretty good too.

I can't not recommend the author's earlier book, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, enough. I've read 2/3rds of it and I believe it is actually more of a drag than the original.Just saw Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter
The internet gave a voice to the world thus gave definitive proof that the world is mostly full of idiots.

I still say Small Gods was better than Lamb, though.

I saw Spider-Man today.
The actor's a better fit for Peter Parker--better than Tobey MacGuire, anyway.
Mostly, I'm okay with the movie. It was good, but not great. The webbing was too weak.
There was, however, a moment that made me grin towards the end--when Spider-Man's getting to the Oscorp building.

I'm just glad they didn't cast Michael Cera as Peter. I mean, I have no problem with the guy, but he's becoming the go to for "awkward nerd" characters, which doesn't work with other aspects of such characters. I haven't even read Scott Pilgrim, but I was able to tell that Scott, while awkward and nerdy, is supposed to be substantially more badass than Michael Cera characters typically come off as being.

Yeah, by all accounts, the book has Scott being less nerd, more brash.Prak_Anima wrote:I'm just glad they didn't cast Michael Cera as Peter.
