AS promised…

I’ve done nothing today. At all. I’ve watched some House, and surfed!

I discovered www.vimeo.com, where I watched a cool skate video shot with a RED ONE camera at 120fps. They’re not doing anything crazy-awesome, but hey, anything looks amazing at 120 frames per second!

Has a funky soundtrack too! :)

I played some BioShock, and my lust for BioShock made me wonder: What the hell are Big Daddies? Turns out, they’re humans with their skin removed, injected with a plasmid and steam-welded onto old diver suits from the divers that created Rapture. This was found a BioShock wiki, which led me to read more articles, and discover that BioShock 3 is confirmed, and will be realised along with the BioShock movie. I reckon they could simply film a person playing through the game and release it on DVD, it’s pretty cinematic and interesting all the way through. This is awesome! I then discovered The Cult of Rapture which is 2K Boston’s site for the game, which also has podcasts in the most annoying format ever – .zip. This means I have to periodically check back since

a) I can’t just let my Zune download all the latest stuff because of the format

b) There’s no RSS.

Still, I’m downloading all 16 podcasts now, should give me a nice bit of insight into how the game was created etc. BioShock = still best game ever :P

Other than that, I watched loads of Mock The Week episodes on YouTube, mixed up a Stefan Weitz video for a competition on Channel8 and watched Episode 4 of Season 5 of House. In it, House is drugged by Cutty and Wilson gets arrested as he kidnaps House and drives him to his fathers funeral – turns out his father’s not his father (surprise, surprise, I hear you say, but alas, it’s revealed in a much better way than usual, c’mon, this is House after all). I also watched the latest Greys Anatomy, where Callie and Hahn were lez-in it up!

Had a nice long chat with Lowri, texted Livvy and declined Morgan’s request to sleep at his. All done while rockin’ out to some Bad Religion, GnR, Disturbed, and Snow Patrols new album “A Hundred Million Suns”. It’s alright, nothing fabulous (it’s not nearly as good as Set Fire To The Third Bar or Chasing Cars) but it’s worth a listen.

I reckon I could do this every day from now on…I mean, it’s nothing big, and it’s basically a big list of things I’ve done and cool things I’ve found throughout the day :)

The Website Is Down

Want to know what it’s like in the world of the CTO?

This should pretty much cover it :)
