Okay so slightly off topic but I brought this to scotty's attention and thought I'd share it here. Basically I'm on holiday in Florida and asked 243 for some advice as to the best shopping mall to visit which turned out to be 'The Florida Mall'. Anyways I thought I'd check out a GameStop having heard so much about them (mostly negative) from 243. Here is a basic breakdown of the conversation:

gamestop employee: hello there sir, how may I help today?

emdeepee: oh I'm okay thanks just having a look around…………..actually you know what can you tell me if you have a customer who goes by the username scotty243?

gamestop employee: yes sir, however Mr A (name withheld for legal reasons) is currently banned until he turns 18!!

emdeepee: really? May I ask why?

GameStop employee: well because he's an elitist, miserable cunt!!

emdeepee: WOAH WOAH WOAH there pal. There really isn't any need for that kind of language okay, grumpy is a much more appropriate term!!

Anyways back on topic:

Black Eyed Peas – Karma

Before Fergie and before they went Hip-Pop

You mean when they were actually good?

It's hands down the best RPG I've ever played.

It's better than sex.

Borderlands 2 – How you like me now? 

Much, much better.

So some guy called 'Warfighter' has just hit level 100 and even done it legit according to psnprofiles.com. 

Man, PSNProfiles.com's leaderboards are so broken, it's not even funny. Sly doesn't even care at this point anymore – he claims his cheating system will “do it”. My ass…

The National – Demons

One of my favorite songs and I just felt like promoting the band/song if I haven't already. 

Apocalypse Now – With the amount of critical acclaim this film has received, I expected this to blow my balls away, instead, I feel rather disappointed with it. With Spec Ops: The Line deriving from this film in a lot of ways, with the development team actually quoting this as an inspiration, I expected quite a lot of moral themes to be questionable upon the viewer(s), etc. Essentially, the film is Max Payne 3 with the shitty monologue about how Capt. Willard despises normal life, is sort-of depressed, and wants back into the “game” including your friendly cold one, alongside him. 

I thought the first two acts of the film were actually really well crafted, building towards what would potentially be an incredible mind-blowing ending that would make the viewer reflect on what was presented in front of them, however, throughout the entire third act, the only thing I thought of was, “The ***NO PROFANE LANGUAGE PLEASE***.” I thought the second act started to drift off a little bit, plot-wise, with nothing really happening, just a death or two here and there which weren't even slightly emotional or memorable. 

And lets get to this third act, which was absolute shit. What the ***NO PROFANE LANGUAGE PLEASE*** happened? Kurtz is exactly what the generals assumed he was, an insane lunatic trying to wage the Vietnam war as if he was a god. This last act, when Willard encounters Kurtz and his “heart of darkness”, made me question as to why the ***NO PROFANE LANGUAGE PLEASE*** I would waste 189 minutes of my life on this shit. Aside from the crisp clear HD version and vivid sound quality this film presents, this third acts eradicates whatever decent feelings I had towards this entire film. 

Managed to watch about 30 or 40 other films this month, but the list is mostly long and forgettable, including titles such as Premium Rush and Total Recall, which were suprisingly entertaining and others such as Paranormal Activity 3 & 4 which were even viewed due to wanting something in the background whilst I complete assignments for my virtual courses.

Other than that, it's still just nitpicking.
