Mood:  good
Sound: Father Ted on DVD
In order to combat the sheer horror of my last post – the infamous kitten killer – here are a few things that made me happy over the last couple days:
- Shadow of the Colossus: I just finished this video game a couple hours ago and it left me in a state of stunned amazement. A near perfect game. It’s got gorgeous graphics, unique, addictive gameplay, and a well-written, emotional story. Shadow of the Colossus is a true classic, something that will stay with me for a long time. (I’ve also heard good things about Ico, the game designer’s previous title.)
- Veronica Mars: Even though I’ve only watched the first four episodes of this series, I’m already in love (I’ve got the rest of the first season on my Netflix queue). Amazon.com’s editorial review describes it best: “The smartest high school drama since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars is The O.C. as penned by Raymond Chandler.”… No wonder I like it.
- Call of Cthulhu: This 40-minute film was a labor of love, produced by the HPLHS (the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society). It’s a black and white, silent movie, presented as if it were filmed in 1922, back when the H. P. Lovecraft story was originally published… Even though it is cheesy at times (namely due to the authentic, silent-era makeup and overacting), it is one of the best H. P. Lovecraft adaptations ever committed to celluloid.
- “A Study in Emerald”:
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) velocityb0y got me this autographed print for Christmas, and we just had it framed. The broadsheet looks great in its unique, antique-wood frame, protected behind museum-quality glass… And the story’s pretty good, too.
- Golden Oreos: I don’t think I need to explain this one.
