Interestingly, after me saying that Playstation games, however grisly and shocking, generally do well and get past the censors, there's a furore from the good denizens of Manchester because Sony have used (shock!) Manchester Cathedral in their latest shoot 'em up"Resistance: Fall of Man"

Oh for goodness sake, people, games have featured churches and cathedrals since the beginning of games. Well ok, not the BEGINNING of games. There's wasn't Pong in St Patricks or anything, but I've fought my way through many churches, Notre Dame for for one example. The people are complaining that it's "insensitive" because Manchester has such a terrible gun culture and people have been killed in Manchester.

Probably not humans infected with an alien virus, I'll warrant. IT'S FANTASY PEOPLE!!! And jeez - what about all the myriad games set in NY or London?

What do we think of the "deluxe" (although WHY is it called that?) cover of The 7th Book? Is it Harry Potter and the Dragon Riders of Pern? Harry Paragon? Is there actually, anywhere in the books, ANYWHERE that even hints at dragon domestication, because yanno I don't think there is. So - either 1) this is an animagus of someone or 2) Harry can control dragons (although that's bloody unlikely, as he didn't have much luck in GOF) OR 3) It's Norbert. Any other theories?

I've suddenly reaslised that OotP will be the last HP film I go to the theatre to see - I have no interest in seeing HBP on the cinema, it has no plot that interests me in the slightest. Do I want to see teenagers snogging? er. No.

Doctor Who was FABULOUS Amazing. Just gets better and better. I loved the cleverness of it, and that even at the end the Doctor doesnt understand what Sparrow is on about. The dvd Easter Egg was a great idea and the end really creeped me out - as it was meant to do! Weeping Angels! eek!! The story was from a short story in a Doctor Who annual, apparantly, only changed a bit. Certainly that one goes to the top of my list - or high up anyway.. oh and best line is something like "they kill you by moving you back in time and letting you live yourself to death." Brilliant.

Well worth downloading the Confidential too (they ALWAYS are) but particularly this week as it was hosted by Tennant.

Jack back next week! SQUEE!!!

I've just noticed that my Severus and Lucius have webbed toes. Interesting. I think they must be Turkish Van crosses. Explains their water fetish, and looking at pictures on Van cross pages, the markings are almost identical.

I've done no writing today - I've been playing "Splinter Cell Double Agent" which
