Well old girl, it’s been a fun ride, but four years down the line I need to move on.
It’s just the old content, it doesn’t reflect particulary well on me since improving my abilities, that and I just wanted a proper url rather than this .wordpress gubbins. The blog will continue to deliver the same content as has come to be expected, but I’ll be posting more stuff I’ve done in general.
The new homepage is www.dalagonash.com
The new blog page is www.dalagonash.com/blog
See you on the other side.
Well, not written about me directly but I’m playing the main role in some film students piece about addicted gamers, so I feel like the role was written for me even if not a personally commissioned biography. It’s called ‘Game?’
Future Star.
So yeah, I have absolutely no idea as to the script, if I have to talk at all, but I shall be putting my unique mug in front of a camera for some students and hopefully propelling them towards earning a first. Naturally my emanating charisma shall propel the piece into the realms of brilliance without so much as trying, and the editors will have an easy job piecing it together.
Anyway, this should be a fun experience for me if nothing else, and I may ruin some poor group’s work in the progress. I’ll keep you all filled in!
All credit to Charlie Brooker and the folks over at Fatuous, this made me laugh. A lot. I was expecting some form of chocolatey alternative to the traditional helpings of various pig meats but instead it’s some horrendous meat, chocolate, and eggy offense to British cooking, but well worth a giggle.
This isn't even the worst of it.
Can’t say I’ll be attempting it anytime soon…
So I’ve recently started re-watching Ghost in the Shell: 2nd Gig as last time I tried to watch it I stopped half way through for some unknown reason, but since starting again I’ve come to one conclusion.
Them Japs know how to do an intro.
I mean, an intro is meant to get you pumped for the show that’s coming up, and with a few exceptions I’ve always sat and watched anime intros in their full for every episode because they’re awesome.
Is it the music? More often than not it’s a crucial factor, but also the montage of beautiful images that are spliced together are often times much more exciting than anything in an intro to a British show. The important thing here is that most these shows are for a more mature audience rather than for kiddy winks who need the bright colours, aimed instead at older people less willing to let go of watching pretty animation who cover up the immaturity of the medium with mature sounding plots and characters.
So here are some of my favourites in handy YouTube form.
Trying to think of some other shows with equally brilliant ‘I gotta watch that’ intros that aren’t of the eastern animated variety and the following come to mind, to be honest our intros always seem a little more laid back or rushed, but I thought these were fitting considering the demographic of show we’re dealing with. If you’ve got any favs whack ’em in a comment!
I really don’t get on with this blogging do I? It’s just start, stop, start, stop and never any kind of consistancy. But I am coming back, and I’m going to come back with a full week schedule of posting content! I say a full week, it will probably be a five day cycle. But rest assured, it will be more interesting than simply reviews and reams of text. As you may notice by the new layout I made about two months ago, I want to do something more.
Watch this space.
I played a lot of games while visiting Pell, and as such I will be delivering opinions on them for the following days, some are new and some are old. I won’t make it a game a day, but it will probably take all week! But, nothing today. As am tired.
I’m oft to visit my Sister in Coventry today, so there is a lack of substancial update.
Instead, I’ll prod you over to one of my favourite webcomics… Prod.
Have a good day!
This quiz is insane, some questions are guess work but there is an eerie, retarded logic behind most of it. Give it a go if you want, I got into the 80’s but if you can do better (maybe even finish the thing!) do tell me!
Well, that was a fantastic film. It wastes no time in getting on its way, with comedy from the first scene to the last. The film’s brilliant sense of stupidity is portrayed well while Simon Pegg manages to keep his character as a stern work headed individual, no small task considering the other actors. My personal highlight was the inclusion of Bill Bailey, I didn’t see that coming! Then alongside the great pace and comedy, the film features some nicely over the top gore, some hilariously unbelievable moments of, and it’s all very British. It’s hard to talk in depth about the film without spoiling some of the better setpieces but needless to say, see the film.
