i really should be writing about all the fun things I've been doing, all the fun times I've had and all the friends I've been seeing. Instead I'm going to complain. I'll break it in to my two biggest gripes of the moment firstly, hopefully something we can all bitch about 3D movies then secondly something for the geek kind like myself and that's exclusive content for computer games given to different retailers.

Fuck you 3D, I watched a terrible 3D film recently made even worse by watching it in 2D on a boring old standard TV. The film was the most recent Resident Evil movie I think it was called afterlife. Anyway a terrible movie that has slipped so far from the original source material it could hardly be considered to have anything in common except the zombies. The movie ran for about 90 minuets but I swear if they ran all the slow mo sequences at normal speed the film would be 15 minuets long and that includes 5 minuets of credits. My real issue was every 30 seconds a shot would come along that was so blatantly meant to be viewed in 3D it just looked out of place on a standard screen. I don't own a 3D TV and to be honest I'm really hoping this whole new found love of the 3D movie experience dies out so that I don't find myself being forced in to getting one when its time to update my old viewing box. For people that love these 3D movies please keep in mind a shit film is a shit film even if it does have bits jumping out the screen at you, the only difference is you have paid slightly more to see and you have some crap shades.

My second angry point. At what time did computer game makers decide that where i purchased there game from would alter the content I received. This has been steadily getting worse, it use to be a case that if you pre-ordered a game they would give you something as a thank you, that seems fair enough. Now though you have to look around each of the stores to find out which retailer with give you the best items for ordering it with them. I'm getting more worried that this will evolve in to game content changing depending on where you get the game from. I'm worried that the last level will be only available to people who brought there copy from HMV. I have paid for this game I want the same content as the guy who brought his copy up the road in a different shop.

Sorry to have been so pointlessly aggressive about these very dull subjects and I hope if you do read them you'll agree with my issues or post a comment showing me where I'm wrong. Also sorry that I haven't written in a while I'll try and post a little more regularly in future. Anyway love you all xoxox.
