Just finished watching all three episodes of 'Black Mirror', created by Mr Charlie Brooker. I thought the series as a whole was pretty damn good, it had a real 'Twilight Zone' vibe to it. Look forward to seeing more of this series.
Out of all three episodes of the series, I think I enjoyed the second the most.

Life on Mars (UK)
I finished re-watching it earlier today. It's a really great show. I may move onto Ashes to Ashes at some point later.
Game of Thrones
I just watched the first four episodes of this show. It. Is. AWESUM!!!

Woke up this morning only to find that there's no milk in the house. The only thing I had in my cupboard that I could put on my cereal was a bottle of whiskey. It's a good thing I don't need to be in uni today.
:D
I would've gladly given you several milk cartons in exchange for some of that sweet sweet booze. I've been sober for much too long and I need it baaaadly.
:(
one of the joys of being a student is never having food, but always having alcohol somewhere around the house.

I think it's all to do with realism. Eating something like a jelly baby is fine because it looks cartoony enough to not offend anyone, but that gummy fetus looks realistic and thus eating it would look creepy as hell...
But that's my two cents pence

Charity Sex sounds like a drag name.
Sounds like an alternate universe Terry Wogan/Bruce Forsyth game show.
I finally finished a 2500 word essay for University about Film Preservation. I'm pretty chuffed with it.
:D
Somehow I managed to combine information about Soviet Russia, Ian Fleming and George Lucas's 'special editions' and have it make sense.
Some of my fellow students haven't even written it yet, and it's due in on Thursday!
Bingowings said:
I've said it before but the World War I trench scenes in Young Indiana Jones and the DVD documentaries were the most vital and visually interesting things Lucas has been associated with since Raiders.
Agreed. A lot of the imagery was really effective. It's a pity such imagery wasn't utilized in the Star Wars Prequels.

I would say its because no one knows what it was about, but then a game would educate us about it! Seriously though, wasn't it mostly trench warfare? Could that be fun?
Most Developers and gamers assume that WWI = only muddy and unmoving western front.
First Person Shooters in a WWI setting wouldn't probably prove popular, due to the somewhat stagnant idea people have of The Great War, However, there still is room for things like Splinter cell/Hitman-esque Stealth based Games.
But it would be ideal to enlighten people about the first world war. What seems to be astonishing is that people seem to know a great deal about the second world war without ever realising that there was a WW1.
Why the hell are there so little World War One games? I'm bloody sick of the second world war.
I must've stormed Normandy beach over fifty times by now.

Why don't you just jump up in front of the screen and waggle your arms saying 'No Snakes here! No snakes here! wwaaaaaaaa wooooooooo la la la!!!!"
That'll stop her worrying about the snakes on TV
But, won't she still see a snake?
...Oh wait - Do you wear clothes while doing this?
Clothing is optional, but I doubt she's scared of... those kind of snakes....
If you are a woman and you're raped, it's an awful, terrible, thing.
If you're a man and you're raped, it's considered comedy.
Do you even know how to spell cauliflower?

Does it contain lemons?

Highlands of Scotland...
Aye but it's brewed by Benedictine monks in Devon.
Yeah. Brewed in their digestive system!
Basically, I'm saying it's piss.
