Exciting things
16 Jun 2010 10:58 pmWe finished O's WHFRP campaign last night and an epic ending it was, with betrayal, revenge, exploding vampires, an epic battle against the Ork army, PC deaths and a lot of fun, played using a barebone D6 system.
Watching Breaking Bad. I'd heard good things about it but at first wasn't convinced by the description. It came up again in my recent request for recommendations so I looked it up and boy is it good. Bryan Cranston (the dad from Malcolm in the Middle) is outstanding as the middling chemistry teacher turned meth kingpin Walter White. I'm almost through Season 2 now (S1 and 2 are available on amazon and play.com for not a lot of money, Season 3 just finished showing in the US) and it's going from strength to strength. Sure, there's the odd slower episode but usually it keeps you at the edge of your seat. Some of the bits involving Walt's useless partner Jesse are a bit contrived but they provide much needed comic relief. The writing is excellent but it's definitely Cranston's performance that keeps it going. His two Emmies for the role are well deserved indeed.
Oh, another awesome thing about BB: Walt's son suffers from cerebral palsy and so does the actor playing him. I mean, it's obviously not awesome that he does but that they actual cast someone with a disability. You don't get that very often.
Sacrilege is this Friday, come along to the best goth club in town.
Mentioning clubbing, mark the 16th of July in your calendars, when Taff,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
raggedy_man and I will be presenting the first TBA, a night of heavy music (both metal and electronic) at the Q Club. Taff, raggedy_man and guest DJ Mark will be delivering the hard hitting guitar based and crossover stuff and I'll be finishing the night with Powernoise, Glitch, Breakcore and the weirdest stuff I can find in my collection. Let's test the dynamic range of the Q Club's system to the max. ;o) I'll keep it dance/stompable but I can't promise not to finish with Navicon Torture Technologies. ;o)
