Master and Commander
A long day. I watched my sister and her hubby compete in the Niagara Classic cycling raceโฆ It was pretty cool to watch. They had a monster hill to climb out in Pelham six times. Phew, it was tiring just *watching* them attack the hill, over and over. The race was quite a spectacle. All the preparation, the police blocking off traffic, the flashy outfits, helmets and bikes, the determination of the athletesโฆ Both my sister and her hubby placed in the top ten.
B. and I ended up watching Master and Commander this evening with the tired cyclists. It was somewhat disappointing. I didnโt find it had a whole lot of substanceโฆ The characters werenโt overly interesting either. Basically a cat and mouse duel with shipsโฆ The footage of the ships and the ship protocol, and the historic aspects of the film, were however pretty interesting. It did feel authentic. Just not overly engaging. Iโd have to spin a โญโญโญ for this film. Iโm surprised it rated so well at the Tomato.
Dragon Age!
Gah! Wellโฆ those EVIL Bioware devs are at it againโฆ It looks like they are making another horribly addictive RPG called Dragon Age. It is not related to NWNโฆ but I can imagine they learned tons from developing it soโฆ I wager Dragon Age should be a very solid release. JOY! JOY! JOY!
Update: Link is 404. But I left it because the page is amusing. Seems like a website revamp too for bioware.com. Now a division of EA? Hmm. (Nov. 2013)
