Chris Hill

Poor Chris - this is his solution for climate change:

So I’ve finished my 3 minute video project for school. Was hell of a lot of fun making this, I hope you guys have fun watching it. The video may feature Seph and Spence from the MG team…

So I went for an adventure to the pictures the other day, to see the new Coen Brothers’ film “Burn After Reading”.

It was brilliant, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and John Malcovich all gave brilliant performances and the whole film was tense and kept slapping you in the face. It was also quite humorous, which gave it quite an interesting mix. I recommend it to anyone willing to spill a few dollars. Take a friend with you. Buy a large coke. Drink it during the film. (You don’t have to but it may have contributed to the enjoyment of my experience).

I tagged this in review. Funny that, as I don’t do reviews of films. I mean is a paragraph saying that a few actors were awesome mean that it’s a review? I think it does. I just wanted to stamp on Seph’s territory

Gemma Arterton

Ok so MG has been a gone missing again over the past few days. But we’re going to make it up to by giving our first Person of the Week award (we think) to a FEMALE! That’s amazing. Is it true that females haven’t done much this year? Or are the team at Master Giraffe just a bunch of sexist nerds?

However I must point out that our newest MG member, Ren, who is yet to make her MG debut, may have been the one with the idea for this week’s winner - and yes she’s a female.

No, we’re not giving her the award because she’s pretty. She’s person of the week because she once had 2 extra fingers on each hand. That’s awesome. What’s even better is that she admitted it and has no shame at all about it.

After undergoing an operation to have them removed, she still has bumpy scars as remainders of her extra digits.

The extra fingers were ‘tied’, which causes them to fall off naturally.

She tells Esquire magazine: ‘It’s my little oddity that I’m really proud of. It makes me different.’

Earlier this year, she revealed she was also born with a crumpled ear, which was corrected through surgery.

She said: ‘I was born with lots of deformities.’

Man, she should have kept those fingers. They would have been useful for many daily activities such as using video console controllers, speed texting and winning ‘how many cheezels can I fit on my fingers’ competitions.

Quantum of Solace anyone?

First official poster.

Honestly. I think Hollywood is actually conspiring to destroy my childhood completely.

So the official live action adaptation of Tekken has been in production for quite some time, with apparently fuck all media coverage since every time I bring it up, most people go “What? A tekken movie?”

In any case, I think it’s going to suck a great big bag of balls. Here’s a picture of Cung Le who confirmed recently that he’ll be portraying Law in the upcoming film. Oh dear.

Jude Law as Dr. Watson. He looks like Jude Law. With a moustache. I feel perhaps he should have stacked on a few pounds, then I could start to take him seriously as an actor.

On the plus, Downey Jr. doesn’t look like a penniless Willy Wonka in this shot, so I can only assume the previous picture is Holmes in some kind of disguise. More details and pics at Super Hero Hype.

Bradster.

Why? I’ll tell you why. Bradster play WoW. I’ve never played WoW, but hey, everyone has a hobby. In Bradster’s case that’s 36 hobbies. Bradster has 36 accounts on WoW.

That’s a large number. He plays against himself. That amounts to $5711 a year. What a wanker.

This is what Bradster has to say on the whole thing:

A lot have asked me, why create so many? The main reason is to invade Stormwind and Ironforge when they reach top level. I’m sure the Alliance will put up a big fight when that happens. We’ll see how it goes. If they don’t make level 70 before Wrath of the Lich King, then it will be at level 80. That is my main goal. That will probably happen after I’ve got some PvP gear from the battlegrounds. I’m also planning to do some 25 and 10 man raid instances but that is secondary to my PvP goal. Of course I’ll be doing arenas too to build up PvP gear but I’m not expecting to do that great there because I’m way behind in gear right now. I need to get to level 70 first, then level 80 and by then I will probably have all green gear while most others have been doing the battlegrounds and arenas.

It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule. Not bad considering I’m looking at it like it’s a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft.

32 of my shaman are level 61. One shaman that I had before I started the 32 is at level 70 along with 8 other level 70 classes that I had. My mage, priest and druid are in the center of the circle of shaman in the pictures but they are kind of hard to see. I’ve also got some mages and priests that I’m currently working on that are level 23. Once they are at level 31.9, I will stop working on them, get 16 of them to level 60 with the recruit-a-friend bonus levels and work on the shaman again.

When Wrath of the Lich King is released, I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them. Then the shaman are on their way to level 80 along with the priest, druid and mage.

By the way, I have 9 level 80 shaman created on the Murmur PvP realm in the Wrath of the Lich King beta. I mainly tried it out to see how well my computers would work as they are. With the exception of one my desktop computers, I should be fine with the hardware that I have.

I use 3 addons in the game. CT_MapMod is used to give me locations for quests, etc. ClassIcons is another addon that I use to show the class of the target. It helps for PvP encounters. Then the last addon I use is SSPVP2 which is excellent for displaying timers and other things while in the battlegrounds.

For my keys to send to all instances of WoW on my 11 computers, I use Octopus 1.3.2. Maximizer in Octopus allows me to start up all WoW instances at the same time or any individual instance such as if a WoW instance has crashed. It also allows me to shutdown all of the computers at the same time.

I don’t like how it looks. Check Super Hero Hype for a full gallery.
