Movies, games and midterms

Well, Zombie Day was a success though it actually spread to just over two days of zombie-related activities. Got the 7 Day Survivor Achievement and managed to last 10 Days 4 Hours and 28 Minutes at the endĀ of it all. That secured me a place in the top 200 on the leaderboard (was 158 initially but have since slipped to 160 and possibly lower) which is kind of cool. All time record is currently over 17 days which is absolutely insane. I will never get anywhere near that so I'll just be content with where I am.

Watched tons of anime feature films this past weekend, as well as Jim Carrey's new film "The Number 23". It was entertaining but pretty stupid and downright ludicrous at times. For those who know the Simpsons joke regarding the "dog with the shifty eyes" being the villain, you wouldn't be to far from the truth with this movie.

The anime films I watched were Akira, Kiki's Delivery Service, Whisper of the Heart, Porco Rosso, and Castle in the Sky. All good in one way or another, though Whisper of the Heart was fairly exceptional as it is the most down to earth, realisitic animated film I've ever seen. Kind of unique that way.

Also saw Equilibrium and was very disappointed. For something often hyped as being "better then The Matrix", it really fell short of my expectations. The action scenes in the film were pretty great, thing is there are maybe three in the entire movie! The plotline and such were pretty interesting, they just didn't do enough with it and there were several inconsistencies throughout the movie that were fairly detrimental to the whole thing.

As for games, been playing some Amped 3 and am thoroughly loving that game's insane sense of style. Also planning to play some GRAW sometime soon as I just got it. And am still cleaning up a few achievements here and there in Saint's Row. Unfortunately, I have midterms in both Philosophy and English this week so may have to limit some of the gaming as time goes on. Right now I should probably make some food. Thats all for now.
