The trailer for Zak Snyder's Watchmen movie is online at Empire.
It looks pretty decent, although there's no indication of the story for anybody who hasn't read the graphic novel already. |

| Advance screenings of The Dark Knight. |
[Jul. 2nd, 2008|10:48 am] |
Taking place on July 23rd, two days before the general release.
Full list of participating (UK & Eire) cinemas is here. There's an awful lot of 'em, so chances are everyone in Britain will have seen the bloody thing before it's officially released on the 25th, but I'm still going to pretend that it's special that I get to see it early. |

This is apparently from a Japan-only Star Wars NES game by Namco, which is described by Wired as "a mundane side-scrolling game in which Luke hacks away at enemies with his lightsaber and dies a lot".
They also include a brief anecdote about Luke "[entering] the Jawa Sandcrawler after about five minutes of gameplay to find Darth Vader, who transforms into a scorpion", which sounds awesome. |

I have to point out the colour suggestions, too - I'm a little disappointed that I never had a "Flesh of Christ" crayon when I was growing up. |

Patrick Kennedy, under secretary of state for management, confirmed that it was US policy to offer compensation to Iraqi civilians "in circumstances where it was evident that [they] were not engaged in an attack on the United States". How about NOT FUCKING SHOOTING THEM if it's evident that they're not attacking? |

I just got this pop-up message on a Japanese wiki site; it may be the best confirmation dialog I've ever seen.

I know I've said this "I'm updating somewhere else now" thing before, and I have a sneaking suspicion that this will mark the end of my infatuation with the service, but I'm updating my Twitter fairly regularly at the moment.
If you're interested in following the mind-numbing minutae of my everyday existence, or you're just a crazy internet stalker, it's all there. |

Pretty good. Not, as some people might suggest, Earth's Greatest Game, but not bad so far. |

| Lego Indiana Jones removes Nazis |

Perhaps partly in keeping with this, according to Edge Traveller's Tales has chosen to remove Nazis - and any reference to them it appears, from what TT says - from the game, "Lego having already replaced them with an anonymous genocidal, occultist, trenchcoat-wearing master-race". *rolleyes*

Reminiscent of a pirate's flintlock, this little beauty is a sure-fire hit for all defenders of descent music. Never a foul note with the eliminator!
I want this. |

| Photoshop 3.0 |
[Jan. 3rd, 2008|11:30 pm] |
From BoingBoing.
Bob Staake is a talented and delightful children's book illustrator. [...] Staake once told me that he still draws with a mouse and an ancient copy of Adobe Photoshop 3.0 (on Mac OS 7, I seem to remember). Here's a video to prove it.
This is one guy who won't be switching to a Cintiq anytime soon. It reminds me of Hunter S. Thompson using his IBM Selectric and a fax machine to submit his stories in the 21st century.
No matter -- Staake is an absolute wizard at what he does, and watching his odd drawing process is really something to behold, at least for and Adobe Illustrator die-hard like myself. Staake's website is here.
I do intend to do a life-update kind of post sooner or later... |
