Some things:

• I accidentally finished Batman: Arkham Asylum, once again while the game was telling me I still had about 20% to complete. I assume it means challenges and stuff? Except that I've done quite a few of those. But anyway. At least the city is safe. Now I have moved on more fully to Kane and Lynch. You may not remember me talking about it before, but rest assured, starting to use the 'Aim' button when firing at people really did help. I was still rubbish at it. But it did help. Especially when I put it on Easy mode. I am enjoying it though. Ironically, I managed to get through a bit of the story, got to one really hard bit and had to go look it up on the internet and how to solve it. It turned out I was doing the right thing, I just had to do it more. But a comment on the cheat forum thing said that after that, though, the game got much harder. And then I went on to complete about three more chapters, last night.
  
  I still hope, someday, to learn the difference between crouching and throwing a grenade though.

• Priti is incredible



• Which reminds me of another thing I kind of wanted to talk about, a sort of race issue in - well visual media mostly I guess - which I have been thinking of as Inexplicably White People. I've talked before about the sheer oddness of Snowflakes (the above webcomic) being set in the Andes, mostly it seems so that the kids' parents can be explorers and they can discover weird ruins and stuff...and yet all of the kids are white, and so are the nuns, and as far as I recall, so is everyone they ever meet outside of the orphanage. In the past week or so, it's been happening in Kane and Lynch as well. ( Kane and Lynch storyline spoilers )
  
  
  Which is just plain weird, frankly.



• And back to the soaps, Hollyoaks remains probably the best one to be watching at the moment, which is saying something. To recap, Brendan Brady, the local closeted, psychotic and much-loved gay gangster, has been set up and jailed thanks to the local serial killer. The fans are up in arms about it - prompting the serial killer (aka George from Drop The Dead Donkey) to send them a message.
  
  Eeeeee.

Hello dudes. I've been busy over the past few days. Busy trying to finish Folklore, and catch up on Hollyoaks. FOR YOU. Maybe. Um. Anyway, I'm hopefully nearly finished with Folklore now - I'm onto the final fight I think, but it's kind of really hard, so I'm just trying to power up my creatures again. Hopefully soon though. And I think I got onto the Hollyoaks episodes from two weeks ago on 4od, so hopefully I'll be done with them soon as well. And then I can get back to - um. Posting about Coronation Street. Maybe.

Anyway. I mostly wanted to talk about TV I watched last night: Vera, and Atlantis.

Also - this is probably one for the Watchmen (the movie) fans on my flist more than anyone else - a post came up on my flist over the weekend which might be the coolest thing I've ever seen. Suprisingly for me, I think the outfit I like the best is the Nite Owl one. But they're all pretty cool. It sort of makes me want to dress up myself. Not that I can afford most of the clothes in those collections. It did make me have a look at Polyvore though, and even have a go at it myself. I'm not saying that mine is anywhere near as good as the ones in that post, but check it out - now you too (if you had the money and access to the shops that sell the clothes) could dress like Priti from Snowflakes!
