The white stuff
Snow. I meant snow. Geez... ;o)
Well the possibility is strong for Scotland and the East coast over the weekend. Not here though. Never here.
I live in a well-protected area (weather wise at least) and the worst I'll see is driving rain or frost.
Not that I want snow. It's cold, mucky and means the roads will be covered in car-eating salt. How much fun can that be?

DOOM on film... or is it?
After mentioning the DOOM film a friend on CC mentioned that it had already been made and was awful (went straight to video - thanks nicholasp!) - a quick Google brings up these sites: here and here
I'll see if I can find the offending film and post a link to it - the above links show the film is still in pre-production and will be based on DOOM 3... hmm, interesting!

Computer games in to films...
Been a worrying trend don't you think?
The list of up-coming computer-to-celluloid is quite a long one!
House of the Dead - You all must remember the arcade classic by SEGA? Oh yes...
Resident evil - was a.. erm, "smash hit" a couple of years ago.. so, yeah, a sequel is due out next year. Woo hoo.
Likely we'll see more Tomb Raiders too.. the last one sucked on a level I had never experienced before. It was really. Really. Awful.
I still fondly remember the days of Amiga games (hell, even Speccy games) made, usually by Ocean, of films. They were 99% sideways scrollers! Hudson Hawk, Adams Family, Predator, Aliens etc etc.. ah those were the days. At least it was one way! Film-2-Game... I guess it's due to spiralling game development costs - I wonder what Half Life and Doom will look like on the big screen... LOL.

I'm having to archive already... can you believe that? Maybe I'm getting this wrong.. but it only shows a few days worth of posts!
Well the archives are down on the right... ;o)
EDIT: It's set to show 7 days on the main page... ah well I'll leave it until I have a couple months worth then re-set it all! Hehe

A big deal?
So Saddam isn't giving the US anything juicy to use.
Why would he?
Does anyone realise that it wasn't him that attacked the US? And he, personally, wasn't responsible for most of the attocities in Iraq?
Well... maybe it'll help if they catch and detain that Osma bloke. He, alone, has some explaining to do.

Video links..
Just thought I'd post up some video links (car related!):
Flixvault - Top Gear clips aplenty!
Runeb - Loads of stuff here...
Vtec - A forum link with tons of clips
TG/5th Gear - It's got a couple of old episodes on but is in limbo while a database is rebuilt. Still should be good!
That lot should keep you busy ;o)

Trailers worthy of note...
Garfield - Interesting to see how he looks in live action!
Harry Potter 3 - The next in the series... looks good.
The Day After Tomorrow - Special effects galore!
Spiderman 2 - Just a
teaser...
Shrek 2 - This looks really funny!
Along Came Polly - The lovely Jennifer Aniston and Ben Stiller in, what looks to be a great comedy

Sunday Sunday
Been a busy couple of days!
Picked Gemma up from Exeter on Friday morning/afternoon and brought her home (500km round trip) in the 911. Car drove very nicely and did the entire journey on one tank of fuel (to my surprise!). Of course she didn't come out unscathed.. the exhaust tail pipes have just fallen off (rusty brackets) and she looks filthy (despite a clean!). Oh well... next year she'll get that respray.
Of course the main point is that Gemma is home. :oD - should be the best Christmas ever.
Monday tomorrow. Going to spend more on two pathetic brackets than I have so far on Gemma. Porsches do not come cheap.
Oh, and Saddam has been captured. Didn't see that coming.

We're all "Doom-ed"!!
Over at Gamespy there is a nice little spot on the 10th anniversary of Doom. Many of you will remember it fondly; some of you are still playing it!
Shame on you...
Just kidding!
Here are some great links courtesy of the Gamespy gang:
# Over at Doom Depot, they've just released a PC conversion of DOOM 64, meaning new maps, new monster graphics, the works. Spiffy. (Doom 64 PC conversion)
# The Flashback project just released a demo. It looks to replace every map in the original DOOM with a similarly-themed alternate map. Looking great so far ... I'm a sucker for episode 1 stuff. (Download Flashback Demo)
# Speaking of which, check out Fava Beans, a superb episode 1 replacement for the original DOOM. It's classic and very nicely designed.
# Outside of UAC_Dead, it doesn't get much more classic (or awesome) than Aliens Total Conversion. It comes in two parts.
# Skull Tag is a nifty multiplayer game based on ZDoom. Its site does a poor job of explaining it, but it's pretty cool.
# ZDaemon is a very nice Internet-friendly version of DOOM. The only bad part is it's based on a somewhat old version of ZDoom.
# Lastly, Doomworld is having its own 10th anniversary celebration, and part of that is an article on classic maps. Check it out. They know their stuff.
And don't forget PlanetDOOM for the latest DOOM news.

Episode 3 spoilers anyone?
Here they are... who dies, who doesn't and most importantly - why anyone cares anymore! LOL!
"The force is strong in this one"
pWn3d!
"The force is strong in this one"
pWn3d!
To modify, or not to modify - that is the question
Well it's already begun.
The spoiler comes off next week. So does the rear wiper (and assembly). Next year it'll be painted up.
The rocker cover is being done in Cadburys purple soon too.
Then the work begins....
"How do you say 200mph?"
:oP

Oops "I've" done it again... silly bugger.
Oh how I try not to.
But I cannot help it.
It is like a disorder. A compulsive one. Bugger.
Can you guess what I've started?
....
Bugger. :oD
