You know how you get absolutely hooked on things? And you
love them so much that you want everyone you’ve ever met to get hooked on them
too? But when you try and explain your deep and abiding love, they look at you
and you can see the ellipses?
…
I’m having a moment like that with a game I downloaded
called Plague, Inc. Here is the trailer. I’ll wait over there for the ellipses.
Look, it’s awesome okay? You develop your
disease and you have to try and spread it against the cure. The cure is working
against you the whole time, and you use DNA points to try and slow it down. And
you know … uhm. Destroy humanity.
Which I guess is where the ellipses come in.
But. It’s awesome because it’s
strategy. I’ve hooked one friend on it, who hates me on
principal but everyone else gives me the …
…
I’m … not sure what my point was there. It got away on me
just a little bit. Hrm.
Awkward.
Anyway. I’m off work this week. Which will be nice. It’s the
school holidays so I’m going to hang out with Patrick and try and
destroy the world er, play some games. It’ll be fun.
Er, I’m hoping to get some reading done as well. Maybe catch
up on some IT, since I’ll be home during the day.
Possibly I’ll even go to a movie or something. I went to
Looper last Thursday and it was awesome. Before that, the last movie I saw that
I truly loved, was The Dark Knight Rises. Since then, it’s been a bit
hit-and-miss, but Looper is fantastic. Seriously, so very, very good.
This week, if they start here on Thursday, I’m eying either
Dredd or Pitch Perfect. I can’t go to both, so I’m going to have to toss a coin
or something.
:D

It sounds a lot like Pandemic but with better graphics and made for tablet devices. Sadly the Android version doesn't come out for a few days more. -_-
D: Dammit. I haven't heard of Pandemic but I *heart* Plague Inc. I'd heart it even more if I could escape the fungus level but that's another story ...
I vote for Pitch Perfect! or Anna Karenina? or IT!!! and I'm not going to play your game... I will stick with Sudoku.
Care: Heee, I'm going to Pitch Perfect tomorrow :D
;p It's awesome. I can't do sudoku - lol
LOL, the bf chimed in and he agrees that er, destroying humanity, can be quite fun ^___^;
I really want to see Looper, I wonder whether the transition from Joseph Gordon-Levitt to Bruce Willis is believable. This is an original screenplay, isn't it? And not (once again) based on a Philip K. Dick story?
Dredd's supposed to really good (as opposed to the previous Judge Dredd's movie with Stallone and *gasp* Sandra Bullock), so I'd vote for that one ;)
Heeee!! It's SO much fun! :D
Looper was great! I didn't see where it was based on anything else, so I'd say yes, an original screenplay. I thought I'd have trouble too but the transition from JGL to Willis was actually believable.
I went with Pitch Perfect, because Dredd is only in 3D and I can't watch 3D :-(
