Have you ever seen a trailer for a movie that makes you think that the end product will be absolute shash, and then you
see the movie in question and it blows your mind? I had that experience recently when I saw
Stardust, which was not very well marketed but is utterly sublime. You're having that experience now, no doubt, with
Page 14. The page itself is great stuff. It's wordy, but that's a necessity. The art is, as usual, top notch. But the preview image? That one there, to the left? Yeah, it's not great, is it?
Don't blame JjAR for the preview. He doesn't put those together - I do, and I do it based on the page artwork and, of course, what actually happens. But what actually happens in Page 14 is largely...
words. And jokes. And I can't preview the page without ruining the jokes. So... yeah. Rubbish preview. Sorry.
My Dad and I went halves on a PlayStation 3 today. We didn't buy any games because we were not, in our minds, buying a games console. We were buying a Blu-ray player. So we bought a couple of Blu-ray movies and a remote, simple as that. But I'm a natural gamer, and naturally I began to look at the online gaming network. I picked up
Lemmings and
Super Stardust HD, but I also checked out the demo for
Heavenly Sword. I had absolutely no interest in this game whatsoever but Dad wanted something to see what the PS3 was capable off, so I downloaded it. When I started playing the demo, we were both wearing socks. By the time the demo had finished our feet were bare, for our socks had been
knocked off. It's now a Most-Own game for me. There is no argument - it must be
owned.
Corpse Bride looks lovely in HD, by the way.
