The Walking Dead
Okay, so after putting it off for a while, I've finally started playing The Walking Dead. I actually really like it so far. It's the fifth Telltale game I've played (wow, really?), and it's the least like an actual adventure game, and more like Heavy Rain, which isn't a big surprise, this is the direction they've been going in.

Seriously, men are so full of themselves sometimes. They're like, oh, I don't write female characters because I don't know how, I can't think like a female, games don't need to be about women.

One of my favorite movies is Let the Right One In. I hear the American remake Let Me In is good, but I don't think I'll ever watch it, because I'd be comparing it to the original Swedish version too much. It's one of those rare horror movies that isn't just about horror, but uses it as a vehicle for the theme. I mean, vampires really are a natural ( Read more... ) -

To start off the new year on a positive note, I'm going to be posting 26 things that I really enjoy. One of my professors used to tell us that making a list of your favorite movies, books, etc, will give you a clearer picture of your likes and dislikes.
