Wagamama
Eating at Wagamuma’s is an odd experience. It’s an London based organisation which in all attempts completely fails to shrug this fact off. Serving food which utilises Japanese cuisine in a heavily altered way so that our western bodies can handle it, this is definitely a weird place.
Sitting down in this English establishment, being served Americanised foods prepared by part time...

Owl City
OK so over the past two weeks or so, I’ve been hearing “Fireflies” everywhere. Every bloody shop seems to have added it to their mandatory playlsit. My friends are linking me to the YouTube video and people seem to love it.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad it’s just not really any good. I listen to it and I can’t find the will to turn it off but I...

Shattered Horizon
I know it’s a bit late, but Steam’s had a Shattered Horizon free weekend the past couple days. I’ve had a about two hours or so playing altogether, so these thoughts are only preliminary.
The controls are a bit hard; as I have a terrible mouse it’s almost impossible for me to aim. (this is a laptop so I’m just not used to using an external mouse. Most games seem to...

Wait
I know what I said but I lied.
I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place, it’s frustrating and painful; it means I can’t update here for a while. Just hold on and wait for me to fight through this.
I’ll start updating properly soon.
No updates till Sunday
Sorry, I’m away from my computer until Sunday and I hadn’t really had time to plan ahead. My bad. Yesterdays lack of an update was caused by the need to sleep.
So Sunday there’ll be an update, and then next week should start updating as normal.

New Facebook
I forgot I needed another post today, oopse. So excuse if the following seems rushed.
So the new Facebook? It looks exactly the same just more confusing. I’ve had to explain to two people how to log off already and it’s barely been a day. Facebook changes, that’s just part of life but usually it changes for a reason.
The best point about change, when it comes to websites, is it...

I am no music man
Seriously, I know nothing of music. I’m still listening to The White Stripes, have they even released an album this millennia? I don’t know this stuff.
Wow, so Wikipedia tells me they have, last one was 2007? I didn’t know that, gotta find that newish one then. Hm. So yeah, I don’t know music. The Lonely Island is a real band for me, honestly. That stuff is actual rap.
I...

Saint I Told You So.
No major post today, just wanted to take a step out from the norm to say “Woo, Go Saints!”
I have been telling everyone it was Saints year, mentioned it on my twitter and I even put a little money on it. So that’s rather nice. =P Being in England I haven’t seen the whole game yet but I’ll probably give it a watch later on in the week, from what I’ve seen it...

PC Suck.
So I got a massive virus attack on Sunday, that sucked and it was incredibly annoying. What is more annoying would be that once I got rid of the virus, something I’m not actually positively sure I have done, my computer was all screwy.
It’s still all screwy.
Nothing quite works, it’s somehow decided to forget how to use an .exe file and most applications don’t work fully....
Peeve #2
A slight modification on the mysterious background, this peeve is slightly less prominent but notably more annoying. This is: limitless ability. To explain better, this is when a character has the ability to do just about anything, although it’s usually focused on one specific aspect.
Obvious examples here: the spy who always makes the perfect shot, the thief who can break any safe, the...

Mad man #4
The first post: http://www.66seven.co.uk/post/347251252
This post, a follow on from: http://www.66seven.co.uk/post/364942305
OK so just an overview here, I want to finish these Man Men posts before I start on season two. Man men has a lot of good points and a lot of bad ones. It’s definitely a show aimed at an American audience and it kinda makes me want to drink.
I really do like how...

Peeve #1
There are a couple things which are found on TV which just annoy me. It happens a lot, notably more in American television; writers start slipping into the same annoying patterns from program to program. This specific issue is about character development, or more importantly the lack of thought when developing the character. It’s the character with an incomplete or impossible background.

Mad Man #3

This post, a follow on from: http://www.66seven.co.uk/post/351630365
So I realise my last posts on Man Men didn’t really actually tell you much about the show itself. Trying not to give any spoilers away I ended up with generalisations which you would have to actually watch the show to understand. So following; the show Mad Men, a...
