Well 2011 started with the continuation of my placement, nothing much to report there really, it was enjoyable enough but I wouldn't hurry to go back.

I drifted still further from my university friends, but became closer with certain online ones.

Book-wise I didn't manage to get through a book a month like I had planned, especially since I lost the ( Read more... )

I think I've been playing too much War for Cybertron/ watching too much Dark of the Moon. Everything I'm reading at the moment is internally narrated in Optimus Prime's voice. Which is kind of awesome, but also very insane...

After the much reviled "Revenge of the Fallen" consensus was Bay really needed to pull out the stops for this supposedly final (or at least, Bay's final) Transformers movie. It therefore pleases me to confirm that "Dark of the Moon" is entirely stop-free.

The plot revolves around the discovery that there has been an Autobot spaceship on the Moon ( Read more... )

Having just rewatched "Transformers" and "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," I can safely say that ROTF is not a good movie when compared with the first film. The action and Transformer-based scenes are great, but the pacing is terrible, the humour is forced at best (though I still think Shia LeBeouf's humour is great; His delivery and fast- ( Read more... )

Yet more retardation from "Transformers" reviewers. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing these people because they didn't like the movie, but because they seem to think using big words is clever and makes sense. It seems to me that any popular action movie is immediately "pretentious"...what? You do realise you're talking about a film with giant ( Read more... )

The first Transformers game was an exercise in mediocrity and pathetic game mechanics, on the major consoles anyway, the DS versions were surprisingly awesome and featured probably the only fully 3d free-roaming environment seen in a DS title, as well as easy controls, excellent graphics and multiplayer, including the humorous allspark football ( Read more... )

Just felt like doing a more in depth "analysis" of the transformers in "Revenge of the Fallen," yes I;m obsessed, I know, shut up about it.

WARNING! THAR WILL BE SPOILERZ!

Autobots:

Optimus Prime - Prime is pretty much unchanged from the first film except he now has an extra gun and an extra energon blade, and he uses both a HELL of a lot more than in ( Read more... )

I'll start of by a) assuming you all are familiar with the first fim, to save time and b) by telling you that TF2 is a great film off the bat before I get to the nitty gritty.

Sam is starting college and the autobots, save Bumblebee who protects Sam, have joined forces with Captain Lennox and Sergeant Epps from the first film along with another ( Read more... )
