Err, I could go write the reply again on my iphone if you like, but I did kinda say that it was the majority of what I did, not all of what I did. An uh, by an input scheme which is as good as the one on the iPhone/Touch, you're talking about the devices which essentially will share the same...

I quite like this as a different take on all the ipad frothing [http://speirs.org/blog/2010/1/29/future-shock.html]. Personally, given that one of the big arguments against it was been 'OMG no Flash', I would quite happily see Flash disappear in favour of an open standard that anyone can...

The Abyss, because it was classy and pretty damned cool for its day (and also because everyone and their dog will go for the newer shinier stuff :P). Which reminds me, I bought The Abyss on dvd the other day. Must be time to watch it again.

For a desktop, even though I love my iMac I think I'll be replacing it with a Windows box simply because of the fact that I tend to game on it more and use my MacBook Pro for work. For pure enjoyment of use though I wouldn't go anywhere but OSX these days. It's just a shame there isn't the...

See, this describes meatspace relationships as well. What it boils down to is that people are people, and people tend to suck. If you don't put a bit of care and due diligence into any relationship, you'll most likely end up hurt.

Definitely second Mary and Max. Great little animated film. Oh and I'll add Leon (the Professional), Fido and Stickmen (a kiwi movie about pool, which is pretty damned funny) to my previous list. Loving this thread, getting lots of ideas for things to see myself. Edit: Oh and how could...

On the low budget side of things: Cube (sequel/prequel weren't that bad, but more of the same really). From the "I never expected them to sing" department: O Brother Where Art Thou? and Hudson Hawk Boondock Saints (sequel predictably will hit Australia when I'm an old man or not at all :P)...

I am totally with you (well, you can keep your wife, I just want Heal ;) ). As a bonus, in the inevitable zombie apocalypse, it's also Harm!

Do you mean Bloodlines? I just finished re-playing Redemption (which is an awesome, if somewhat old game) and I'm pretty sure you're landed firmly as a Brujah :) On the subject of places to go for non-Mills and Boon vampires (while I have enjoyed the Southern Vampire series that True Blood is...

If I'm going with Jackson, I'd go for Meet the Feebles instead :) However, that's not a bad movie. There are a heap of terrible movies that I just love watching. Johnny Mnemonic, Joe's Apartment, hrm, gotten a brain freeze now, and I'm a few hundred km away from my movie collection :( Oh...

Didn't vote due to there being no options that fit me (yes I play them all the time, but it wasn't why I bought the phone :P). And it's surprised me how fun a lot of the cheap games actually are. I haven't bought any of the 'big' game tie-ins (Assassin's Creed, Sims, etc) and have mainly...

Yessss. And then sometime later the Gold box SSI D&D games (Pool of Radiance etc).

Ferrets: Best. Pet. Ever. Got rats at the moment, and looking at getting myself one of those deliciously ugly devon cats later this year. Rats are a little bit on the smelly side and like peeing on you when you're handling them, but they're sweet pets.

Oh sorry. What I see is the difference between being prepared to be disappointed when you don't succeed (ie reality), and setting yourself up for disappointment by setting unrealistic goals (or having them set for you). One gives you a healthy perspective of what it and is not realistic, while...

Oh I have no problem with setting goals and having dreams, just that people should recognise that many dreams are not realistically achievable. They're nice to have, and your goals may be steps toward a dream, but if you believe that it is achievable and it is not then you're setting yourself up...
