Tonight I finally watched Cloverfield. After following the ARE (E for experience instead of G for game. It doesn't seem to crossover into meatspace) I was looking forward to seeing it in theaters. That didn't happen, though, due to me not having a car, and knowing the two people who lived here at the time with cars wouldn't want to go. But now I can watch it at home, and I did. Unfortunately I like the marketing of it way more than the movie itself. I just don't get creeped out like I used to by horror movies, and most of the characters we follow in the film annoyed the piss out of me. As you may know, when it comes to me that's quite an accomplishment.

The good thing about watching the movie is it made me curious in their marketing/game/experience again. So I looked in on the Unforums to see what people have been posting, and it looks like it's still alive. The release of the DVD has started their second wave it seems, as new websites and new footage are popping up all over the place. There are new mysteries, and new clues helping solve old mysteries. Enough new stuff to play with to occupy a good 4 hours of my night.

The next few weeks should be entertaining.

You know, I thought that was a fantastic marketing campaign, but it still didn't make me want to see the film. I suppose some day I will see it, but I'm pretty sure it will just be one of those days where I'm trying to kill time.

Ca ble?

I actually don't have cable. I've never had it, believe it or not. As little television as I watch, it's just not worth it to me. Why spend $50+ a month to get 200 channels of nothing, when I get 7 channels of nothing for free?

Oh, and looks like there's a chance I may be up in Portland again this year. If I am, I don't know when yet. We'll have to go out for drinks, or fish, or drink like fish, or something.

Sid Meier's Pirates is a fun game, until you figure out how to cheat. Well, not really cheat so much as just continue to play basically forever. My pirate is currently somewhere around 80, and has pirating for 60 years. I captured every existing port for the Dutch, and then switched sides and recaptured them all for the British. Fuck the spanish and french. I'm not doing anything for them.

I've been having much more fun with Sid Meier's railroads.

It's even easier than that. Just keep your crew size small, and never divide the plunder.
