It was Orange Wednesday last night and Silent Hillwatched. It was a long time since we played the game so remembering any of the plot was going to be tricky. Quite surprised to see Sean Bean as the husband trying to do a Yankee accent but it came out all 'ee by gum'. With the scene set for the reason to visit Silent Hill, the good stuff came along with the town looking satisfactorily familiar to the game and monsters looking creepy. Bit toned down though with the 15 certificate but the big pyramid-head guy and demon nurses twitching like the dancers from Kylie 'Can't get you out of my head' looked good. Towards the end though I started thinking where this was all going and most of the plot tension had disappeared making the conclusion a bit flat. I remember completing the game then getting the wrong ending and couldn't be arsed trying again. Bit like the film really, I enjoyed the creepy bits and style but like unwrapping a large present it turned out to be socks.
With news that Facebook is offering embedded posts I thought I'd experiment with both Facebook and Twitter. Here's an example of a Twitter embedded post: This is amazing.

Thanks to my Modwolves fan club connections I managed to win exclusive tickets to see the brand new live show from the Mighty Boosh on Saturday. After our (unsuccessful) Thames boat ride we made our way over to 3 Mills TV studios in Bromley on Bow. If you don't want to know what's in the new live show then you'd best not read this as it will spoil the surprise. However if you want to know a summary of how it went then I'll say now, the performance was slightly worrying with only a week to go. There's a lot more mini-sketches and no real story compared to the previous tour. There's some great gags, some surprises but if it wasn't for their natural talent and personality the show would be slightly disappointing. Hopefully they'll put in some practice, improve the sketches that didn't quite work and maybe even come up with some new ideas. So, if you really don't want to know what happens in the show stop reading now, you have been warned. Mighty Boo...
