Movies and RPGs
I have become addicted to Dragon Age: Origins (like three or so years after it was released). I thought I could buy an RPG game and not have it take over my life like Baldur's Gate did when I was a teenager. I was wrong.
Also: saw some movies
Argo: Not excellent, I didn't connect enough with the characters to rate it excellent, but a pretty bloody great movie, and incredibly suspenseful. Reminded me a lot of Torn Curtain. Plus, brought back a lot of wonderful (read: not so wonderful) memories of various boarder crossings I made on my international trip which made me smile a lot.
Prometheus: I was dying to see this movie when it came out, but it came out during my aforementioned international trip and I couldn't find a cinema showing it. But then I heard it wasn't that great and actually kind of bad so I was rather worried about being really disappointed so sat down to watch it with low expectations. It was much better than I expected. Not as good as Alien and Aliens, but ticked all the all important boxes that I think an Alien franchise should tick with aplomb: spaceship, enclosed space, body horror, gore and most importantly, a kickass resourceful heroine. Noomi Rapace I think it a worthy successor to Sigourney Weaver. So yes, I really liked it, but then, also, I really like Aliens 4, so, you know, keep that in mind if you're an Alien franchise fanatic judging my opinion.
I totally have thoughts on The Thick of It finale have not yet formed themselves into coherent sentences, plus if I post something, that means the show has really ended, and I don't want it to end.
Now, I'm going to go recruit Dwarfs to fight Darkspawn. As you do.
