Not counting the foetid trenches of FFN where you might find anything I recall something on the old EFO - probably from before the QC truly came about - that was basically Gendo Ikari raping Rei in her apartment while Fuyutsuki watched. It was removed at some stage before LD snaffled the site, but I...

I still want to see it again, 4 weeks later. I haven't met anyone sensible who hated it. Most people liked it. Most people I've spoken to personally loved it. And I understand the hangups people might have - but at the same time I had such a good time watching it that I just didn't care. Fuck it, if...

They have CGI for that. And Outtakes from the first film...

....even if William's original contract specifically prevented that.

Spec Ops Asuka is enjoyable..

On a sort of make Madoka jealous by traumatising the living fuck out of it's teenaged cast while getting you partyvanned sort of way.

It's not shy. About anything.

Alita, Battle Angel.

Got a ticket for a preview through 'methodology'. Did not go away unsatisfied.

I enjoyed it. Visually it's well realised - especially in IMAX. Beautiful 3D PG "ultraviolence". I can't really review it because I'm familiar with the source material - but it makes a big effort to get as much of the big "Alita" coolness in for people to enjoy. The beauty of a p...

Tin Soldier, Julia Ecklar

About an entirely different Third Child, but at the sametime somewhat appropriate.

What's the difference between Ireland and Hamlet?


Ophelia never blew Hamlet.

The reason Crossley's and their ilk are poorly regarded is because they use an aolder-style cartridge called a Ceramic cartridge. The moving needle (Or Stylus if you want) puts pressure on a pair of crystals which generate piezo-electric voltages. Amplify the voltage and you've got your music. The p...

I am trying to make a new website using a CMS I've not used before. It works perfectly (apart from the site being work in progress), except for one thing: it doesn't work on iOS when served via https (all browsers, the same). It's fine using https on Windows or Android, or using http on iOS - just ...

I know realise that most of my local cons have died.... and I have no idea where to go.... That said, if you want to look up what happens when stupidity meets hubris, I give you Gamercon This thing made Dashcon seem tolerable - because at least Dashcon wasn't overcrowded. It was a five hour line.......

Some developed photos from my recent holiday. Blue tint is a processor fuckup, unfortunately. One week just wasn't enough. Got to do it again. It's a Gundam: http://i.imgur.com/Yziup2Wl.jpg Tokyo Tower http://i.imgur.com/h62Exzhl.jpg Akihabara http://i.imgur.com/xcbYIrtl.jpg Owakudani http://i.imgur...

And a worthy one at that. Do please share those photos when you've got them. ^_^ See link below. Unfortunately, the processor borked the first few rolls - they came out a little blue. Some can (and have) been corrected. I haven't gotten around to the others yet. The joys of analogue http://imgur.co...

Longpost. tl;dr, cool holiday bro Sitting in a silent old stone house in Wexford, winding down after a hectic 2 weeks. 8 days in Japan, then crash straight back to work on landing making it all feel like a weird sort of dream. So, I'm sort of gathering my mind back together after Japan. Crashing bac...

Ah yeah. If anyone else is making the trip, I cannot recommend the ryokan we stayed in highly in. The staff at Hakone Miyamafurin were beyond exceptional, patient and tolerant of us despite us arriving in the dark, dirty and sweaty after a long journey. Also. The rooms are brilliantly appointed. Com...

Update an Evangelion fanfic, on location.
Enjoy an Onsen without passing out.

I have no bloody idea.

I was just tired and going funny from the heat.

Jaunting around Hiroshima. I finally get this scene from Evangelion Fuck me. It's like stepping out into a solid wall of heat, dripping with humidity. Getting off the plane in Tokyo was like 'slap'. Fuck me, it's warm here for October. Osaka at the station. was a 'whack'. Fuck me, it's warm and humi...
