Video Games: The Thread 5

Comment I Made 23 days ago

Snap. I'm giving Bioshock a playthrough on new PS3 cos I don't have a computer that'll make it look orright. Loving it. The joys of buying a console at the end of its life - all those games to play through!

I was pretty impressed with Mirror's Edge, flawed though it was. That sound of your legs splintering...

Any must-plays for 360 or PS3 welcomed. I have a backlog already. GoW looks like it's gonna eat a bit of time. Not to mention Demon's Souls...


How The Dig It Up! Gamble Paid Off

Comment I Made about 1 year ago

Mount Buller was problematic 'cos its attendee base was eaten away by the mini festivals put on around it. If it'd been run as a one-off, without those almost-kinda-sorta-full-lineup shows, it would've been more filled. Much as the ones OS are. I think that's about smart promotion and spacing of gigs, not the number of people prepared to go.

Which is a shame, as the setting shat all over Kutshers in the US, and I love that hole.

(More What Is Music a-la those nights with Merzbow and Fushitsusha, as an aside.)

When I was there in August they were promoting the fact that all of their 7-11s now provide this service.

False. You can get cash from Citibank ATMs.

Yep. And the post office has ATMs that take foreign cards, and they're open pretty late/on weekends. Joy.

I was surprised at how much cash I needed (ie: how many places didn't take cards) but it wasn't hugely problematic.

Kyoto fucking rules. Especially the temple with the 1001 statues of Kannon: amazing.

(We won the taiko competition, too. And one of the bosses in the beheading scene from Kill Bill shook my hand. Huzzah!)

This album is the best. SERIOUSLY...

Doesn't have the elegant sparse fuckedness of Bone Machine. But you know, nothing does.

It's sort of late-Waits-by-numbers-but-with-swearing. But I haven't given it a bunch of repeats yet.

Picked up a Joyo Ultimate Octave fuzz off eBay.

Metal case. Videos on YouTube look ok, so will be interesting to see what it's like. Seems to be a Fulltone clone.
