Destroy The World? Great!

I was reminded the other day of a quote from Terminator 2, in which John Connor is feeling uncertain as to the future of the Human race, and asks the Terminator whether everyone will make it or not. The Terminator replies by uttering the line:

“It’s in your nature to destroy yourselves”

Now for a hypothetical. Lets say someone is in control of a big red button, which must not be pressed under any circumstances, as pressing the button will destroy the entire world and the controller is prefectly aware of this.

Now, you’ve got to wonder, how many people would willingly choose to press this button, knowing it will destroy everything?  That’s one to think about.

New Smash Bros Brawl Character Announced!

Okay, so it was announced several days ago, but its Lucas!

 Lucas is one of the main characters in the Japan-only GBA game Mother 3 (Earthbound 2), a game so awesome you don’t even have to know Japanese to understand what’s going on.

 Hopefully this will be a shining beacon of light for those who want to see a release outside of Japan, and at least it will give the Mother series the exposure it frankly deserves for once.

 No word on Ness yet, but I hope he’s in it =)

One Month Ago

That was when my last post was, I would have updated more frequently but I’ve been insanely busy and just haven’t had time.

Most of it has been work, while the rest of my time comprised of watching Twin Peaks, watching Magnum PI, re-watching all my Quantum Leap’s and watching Bladerunner, which I’ll write another post about in the near future.That and BBC2 is showing the first season of Heroes here in the UK, and I love it.

Oooooo Money!

I haven’t posted here in a while, my grandfather died a few weeks ago and I haven’t felt like doing much. Since his passing I have willingly inherited his CD collection, which is mainly Big Band and Country music, which although I like the slow gritty stuff, I’m not that much of a fan of those big Country ballads, think Rhinestone Cowboy

It was my birthday on the 27th and although I didn’t get much, I did get £200, of which I spent £50 yesterday. I bought the first seasons of Magnum P.I and Twin Peaks and New Super Mario Bros for the DS, a game I’ve been meaning to get for some time.

I’ve also been playing a lot of Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, which I finished unsurprising quickly. It’s good, but not amazing. Heh, I could say the same for the Simpsons movie, which I saw on youtube the other day. Although, that being said, it was better than I though it would be.

I still have birthday money left over, which I may spent, although I’m not sure yet. I made a big list of movies and TV shows I want to get on DVD, including The Shawshank Redemption, Scarface, and others, which I can’t seem to remember. Oh well.

Back To The Future

I’ve gone a little BTTF crazy over the past few weeks. I watched the trilogy through twice, and then watched the first one again until I stopped, thinking that if I saw II and III after it, I’d be doomed to re-watch the trilogy over and over and over. I had some money going spare so I spent it on the novelizations of part II and III and the soundtrack to the first film, which features Huey Lewis, more Huey Lewis, Etta James and Marvin Berry and the Starlighters (the fictional band in the movie).
