Battlefield 3

Played so much lately

I’ve not written these haiku..

or eaten.. or washed..



Berg Sans Nipple – Form Of…

What a great album,

I forgot how good it was.

It’s a unique sound



LA Noire

Stare at an object,

Stare at some guy’s twitching face,

Ignore the game’s flaws..



Bored To Death

Not hugely funny,

but an enjoyable “romp”.

Ted Danson is great.



Dragon Age: Origins

Blah Blah Blah Blah Elves,

Blah Blah The Fade (oh my GOD!)

Blah Blah Fucking-Blah!



Gemini Rue

A decent story

is so rare in games these days.

This one’s pretty great



The Wire – Series 4

A corner boy’s life

can get quite complicated…

..and school is back in



Hanna

Its got Chooper in,

shame it’s a load of old toss..

All style, no substance…



Bastion

A fairly plain game,

But the strange voice-over dude

made it quite special



From Dust

A bit like Lemmings

with some impressive physics

…Massive Sandcastles



Louie – Series 1 & 2

A modern Seinfeld,

with Louis C.K’s brand of

nihilistic wit



Sam & Max (Telltale Series 1-3)

The old game had charm

that isn’t quite captured here.

They’re still fun games though :)



Synecdoche, New York

Made as much sense as

talking backwards in German.

Interesting stuff, though…



Mass Effect

It seemed a bit short

For such an ambitious game

..Fun while it lasted



Bob’s Burgers – Series 1

Another Cartoon

with Jon Benjamin in it

it’s pretty good too!



Dead Space

Resi 4 in space

it gets quite repetitive

but there’s some good bits



Starfox Assault

What is the deal with

the third person shooter bits?

they kinda suck balls



Zelda : Twilight Princess

I love Zelda games

Even though they’re all the same

They make me happy



Jan Jelinek – Loop Finding Jazz Records

If you haven’t yet,

Listen to this album NOW

it’s incredible



Apocalypse Now

Not seen this film since

I was a very young lad

..and it’s fucking odd



Treme – Series 1

After Katrina

Rebuilding their lives and homes

and identity



Magicka

Like Cannon Fodder

But with a made-up language

…and wizards, of course



Portal 2

Did not disappoint,

And the co-op is great fun,

Welcome back, GLaDOS



Mr Show

Such a stupid show

But I find it so charming

Great surreal sketches



Burial – Untrue

Like 90′s garage

heard through a long metal tube

spacey, shakey beats



The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Not the best one, but..

A Zelda game’s never bad

And this one was nice



Earthbound

A JRPG

That’s genuinely funny

A rare thing indeed



Danny Breaks – The Outer Dimension

Nice wobbly basslines

The slickest hip hop ive heard

Since ‘Analog Worms’



When The Wind Blows

Two elderly folk

In a nuclear fallout

Fucking depressing



Dead Space: Extraction

Cinematic stuff

Slightly marred by the fact that

I cant move my legs



Fluidity

Nice physics puzzles

Tilt the world and water flows

Charming stuff indeed



Oren Ambarchi – Grapes from the Estate

Nothing else like it
Shifting planes made of sine waves
I fucking love it



Lukid – OnandOn

Its subtle structures

Its unrelenting beauty

God damn you, Luke Blair!



The Wire – Series 3

Major Colvin’s plan
All the chaos in one place
“WMD ri’chere”



Trauma Team

Wiimote surgery

This is a game for psychos…

…but it is quite good



The Venture Bros

Henry Killinger

and his Magic Murder Bag

Best. Series. Ever.



Barry Lyndon

Not Kubrick’s best work

to quote an internet meme:

“I am disappoint”



Super Mario Galaxy

Gravity is key

Fat man bounds between planets

Always makes me smile



The Wire – Series 2

It’s a tragic fate

Sobotka didn’t deserve.

‘The Greek’ is not Greek



Minecraft

I just spent all night
Building a fucking castle
I am such a nerd



Mujuice – Monochrome EP

Some Russian nutter
Made the most beautiful tech
I have heard in years



The Wire – Series 1

Baltimore MD
The life of a corner boy
“Where’s Wallace at, String?”



Adaptation

A film about films
The plot folds in on itself
Kaufman is a nut



Boardwalk Empire – Series 1

Nucky’s solution:
A third of his wad of cash
keeps them all happy



True Grit

Despite the weird pace
Despite Jeff Bridges’ slurring
I enjoyed this film



The Trip

Coogan and Brydon
So much trivial chit-chat
Somehow works quite well



Four Lions

“That’s not a wookie”
and “Rubber dinghy rapids!”
I love Chris Morris



Gitaroo Man

Maybe it’s my pad
Maybe I have no rhythm
I suck at this game



Left 4 Dead 2

Five hundred Hours
Spent playing this fucking game
I have got no life



Just Cause 2

I think grappling hooks
Should be in all sandbox games
So much bloody fun!



System Shock

Seriously guys
Get hold of this old classic
You will shit your pants



Okami

The art style is nice
But I wish that green pixie
Would shut the fuck up



We ♥ Katamari

I just rolled a ball
Over some fish with trumpets
I laughed my arse off
