In Contrast

I was right. I really need to work on my Unreal Tournament skills. Although when you're having yourself blown to bits every corner it is somewhat gratifying when you end third last in a game's ranking, as opposed to the expected solid last.

Also been playing Crysis recently. It's a fun game, although somewhat easy. Maybe I should've started on Hard mode... or Delta, the hardest difficulty because the Koreans speak Korean. Big shock there. Only problem is I have to play it on such a low graphics setting that my eyes bleed. This is because my cooling in my PC isn't working properly or some such. The graphics card is reaching 120 degree Celsius temperatures, which is about 40 too many. So my very technical solution is to buy a fan or some such and stick it in my case. Hopefully that will do some good.

Anyways, I was recently at a friend's house and he just got Blackadder on DVD. Which is exactly like Blackadder on VHS, except obviously better quality and "graphical menus". You know that it hasn't got that much when they advertise their menus. So we were watching an episode from Blackadder the Third, which is where Hugh Laurie is the Prince Regent, and the penny only dropped when I saw his name in the credits. Then I thought, "Isn't Hugh Laurie House in House, the TV series?" This was kind of shocking as he is two completely different characters.

1) The Prince Regent


2) House


Except imagine him more cynical... and evil, and generally cool.
I looked quickly on IMDB and found that he has had a wide range of acting jobs. From Stuart Little, to Flight of the Phoenix. But the contrast that is Prince Regent George and Dr House was one that truly got me saying, "Wait, that's the same guy?".

In other contrasting news, a friend of mine called me cute which is weird because A) she's typically sarcastic about that kind of stuff B) hardly says anything like that at all and C) was almost completely out of the blue! And the worst part of it is that she lives so far away and none of the local girls seem to ever compliment me about that. Maybe she knows she's safe that far away, heh. Anyways, time to go see if I can rank 4th last!
