Re: A restaurant where the flowers are as great as the food

This needs better copy editing..

"At this time of year ,spring bulbs" and "a hybridof a".

Also the restaurant wasn't actually reviewed, how do we know whether the flowers are actually as good as the food? Very misleading!

I interpret it differently - he uses 'can be finished in' and not 'finished in'. I didn't interpret it to mean the whole game and everything can be finished in that time.

Thing is I really like the song, but I wish there was more to it. It's too catchy for just one sentence.

Also I really miss Lost. :(

Loved the demo and this was a nice write up!

My housemate and me have been taking the piss out of Bolo Santosi, because we've seen that bloody into far too many times!

Ah yes, Donski already explained this via Twitter earlier, I just thought it was odd!

Anyways, I've listened to it and it's pretty good. Maybe a bit too aimless at times and there were quite a few sound corruptions.

But good work overall! :)

Just started listening to this, but it starts with you guys stating it was recorded on Dec 2nd? Isn't that a bit late?

Re: Would Mass Effect Make a Good Movie?

carocat — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:52:28 -0000

I think it would make an awesome film series if it ISN'T based on the games. The games are too open ended with too many choices and it can't be transferred into films.

Mass Effect works because of the extra material. There are the books and now the comics. I'd love to watch a film based on the first book for example. Or perhaps when humanity first discovered the Prothean leftovers on Mars. Or events that occur on the sidelines of the main Mass Effect story.

The universe created by BioWare is awesome and I would love for more people to experience it.

Oh look, it's a comment!

Also, I'll be getting this even though Forli was my least favourite region and I was glad so few missions happened there. However, the whole game was far too good to pass up DLC!

I need this phone, because my trusty Samsung SGH-900 is slowly giving up on me. There aren't any other smartphones I'm interested in and I can't quite afford this one.

Also, I love you guys! [Did that help? ;)]

Serves you right.

Paul, thanks for releasing your book as a .pdf. I bought it a few months ago, but due to me moving all the time I had to give it away and I'm looking forward to reading it again.

This is good news as it hopefully means less people are reading the trash the BILD Zeitung comes up with every day..

There are daily grave errors with its reporting, some even causing the wrong people to be publically condemned for criminal actions they didn't commit.

http://www.bildblog.de/ is a good place to start for those that actually read the paper..

Re: Cleaning Up The Stream: Twitter Kills Duplicate Tweets

carocat — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 19:32:03 -0000

I agree with Samuel Ryan on this. It bugs me when people do this. I follow 500 or so people and I read all their tweets. Waking up in the morning I read through the ones made while I was asleep and when I'm AFK I catch up when I get back.

If someone's following too many people to read it, then they won't give a shit about what you're saying anyway.

Re: Twitter%26%23039%3Bs+Golden+Ratio+%28That+No+One+Likes+To+Talk%26nbsp%3BAbout%29

I've been using Twitter since March '07 and currently follow 540 people with 940 people following me. Just last night I managed to cut down about 70 people from my followers which I've been meaning to do for a while as my stream got a little cluttered. This is especially as my Twitter followers consist of roughly three 'circles' and there is a lot of conversation in each of those 'circles'.

I've never cared about the marketing/PR thing that so many others on Twitter seem to base their existence on. I don't follow Calacanis, Scoble [although I used to before he fell in love with FF and every single one of his blog posts oozed a 'I'm doing this and you have to do this, too, because of xyz], Kawasaki and yet I'm still getting a full experience out of Twitter!

About a year ago I reached the point where I had more followers than I was following and with me trying to remain below 600 following that ratio is ever increasing. When someone follows me, I tend to skim through the first few pages of their tweets and follow based on their amount of conversation/links/tweet frequency and so on. But yes, the follower to following ratio does make up about 30% of the decision if I'll follow them back.

All in all, are my tweets 'better', because I have more followers than I am following? Probably not, but I wouldn't necessarily follow myself if it was the other way round.
