Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

And just like that, all my spare time disappears.

Twilight Princess is fantastic. Have a look at this sequence, which almost made me wet myself with geeky delight:

There's another comic art internet meme floating around, this time based on Marvel's Ghost Rider. You can see my contribution here.

The Battle for Middle Earth

Just before Christmas, Channel 4 ran through the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, and while watching the third film, something about the scene where Aragorn and his army march to the gates of Mordor struck me as very familiar. There was something about the way it was shot that reminded me of something I'd seen before.

Lacking both the skills and software to properly illustrate what I saw, I mentioned it to James, who has plenty of both. And he produced this, which is absolutely spot on:



So spot on, in fact, that it's almost as if Peter Jackson filmed the scene in this way deliberately.

Thanks James!

PHP?

I've been spending a lot of time recently tinkering with HTML, Javascript and other bits and pieces. It's been surprisingly fun, even if I don't have a lot to show for it so far. I have hit a bit of a bump though, so if anyone knows about php site navigation, please let me know.

Oh, Globbits...

I never knew this existed. A full length music video version of the opening theme to The Trap Door!

Did this actually get released as a single? If it did, that's pretty close to the best thing ever.

US offers global warming strategy

Giant space mirrors. Because cutting down on excessive energy consumption would apparently be too difficult. Crikey.

Asps. Very Dangerous. You Go First.

Indy4 starts filming in June. Yay.

Survey. Of those of you who own all three Indy films, how many of you stack/arrange them with Doom before Raiders, and how many do it the other way?

The Return of the Mack

I hope you all had a good Chrimble or appropriate cultural variant; we had a quiet one, staying in and watching telly for the most part. And then our internet went down, but as you can see, we're back online now. Just in time for some shameless self-promotion, in fact.

If you head over to my website, you can read a short comic I did over the Chrimble holidays called More Than You Can Chew; have a look, tell me what you think. Normally, I'd now not go near a pencil for six months, but I'm going to take the plunge and do a webcomic (not only because all the cool kids are doing it). More on that later.

I also (finally!) retired my old profile picture, in favour of something more indicative of my current shambolic appearance.

Chrimble!

Happy Whatever, everybody!

(This is the first post since I moved to Blogger Beta, so let me know if anything broke.)

Haven't we met before?

I think that even if we disagree concerning the merits of Casino Royale, we can all agree that the theme tune was naff. Paul Hartnoll has a better idea, and it's called Haven't we met before.
