So I said I was thinking about taking a trip down to Paradise City in my last entry, which I decided to do in the end. Burnout Paradise is a great game, no doubt about it, but it still left me cold. After the first few hours, and you get over the whole 'I can do whatever I want? Sweet!' thing it gets a bit boring. Doing the same thing over and over again is the thing that I hate most about any game, so it's a shame to see one of my favourite series' employ the technique. I hope they didn't pay it too much. My favourite still remains Burnout 3: Takedown. Maybe the next one can revert to that a little bit. Then I'd love it all over again.
So, Ashes To Ashes is on BBC on Thursday. I can't wait, despite the fact I'll most likely be watching it on my 'Uni TV', a little VCR combi thing that should have been made extinct with the dinosaurs. At least I'll get that 'authentic 80s feel', eh?
I loved Life On Mars, so much so that I'm in the process of watching it again. It was perfect: not a single poor episode and an ending which just plain worked. I was a bit despondent when AtA was announced, mostly because they're using the exact same plot line as LoM. Mix it up a little, eh guys? But then, if you think about it, that goes back on what I said about Burnout: Too much change is a bad thing. Wow, contradictory. Oh well.
In other news, myself and the rest of my team won the Let's Change The Game competition with our ARG Sleeper Cell. Lots of work will now ensue. I'm sure it'll be brilliant!
I've had a lot of things to say, but their gone now. Mayhap there's more to come... I'll leave ye with a random YouTube video of Flight of the Conchords and another limerick.
When Jimmy fell into the well,
He created an awful smell,
In panic he'd guffed,
An ant had been snuffed,
Sent off to its personal hell.
