    They stopped at Saw 7. The franchise just promises you a few things and delivers : nasty gore, different traps with some kind of twisted morality tale, a tie in to the previous films, and a nice revelation montage at the end. Although the link to the previous films got v tenuous (how many people were in the same scene that the camera didn't see!) I think it's worth ten bucks once a year. I'd be happy if they made 20 of them. With insidious etc it's not like it's preventing some great other horror films coming out.

    yeah they were enjoyable, if that's the right word to use. Like Final Destination, it was all about the deaths. Though have to admit, Jigsaw was really well prepared. :)

    Got our wedding photos back today, and there is a brilliant shot, in the middle of all the beauty shots, of myself, Lisa, the bridesmaids and groomsmen, all standing in the Japanese Gardens, doing the YES chant.

    Still grinning like an ejjit!

    Jigsaw secretly had apprentices (and other apprentices the apprentices didn't know about)

    As bad as they were, I still watched all of them. It just became a case of "How on earth will they keep this going?"

    Congratulation man.

    As Jerry Lawler said on Raw this week, marriage is grand, but divorce is a hundred grand :D

    Someone in Japan tried to access my Facebook page today, with the right password apparently. Got blocked cause Ive never accessed Facebook from Japan. :P

    Never use it, mind, but making me wonder what else I need to change the password on, AND how they got the right password in the first place.

    Download a program called mpeg streamclip, it will rip the dvd and make it a mp4 so you can put it online.

    Question for ye gamers. More avid gamers but point stands. Would ye know your Gamestop etc staff by name? I think it's the only area of retail where a regular customer wouldn't necessarily be friendly with people working there despite being in regularly.

    Yup, but then I was in the same year and good friends with one of the folks that works in the Gamestop, and by extension hung out with the others from the shop too. Nearly the same story with the local Xtra-Vision.

    Fifa (which comes free as part of the bundle) and Dead Rising 3.

    Thanks to Day One On Demand though, I'll probably top up my credit card and get AC4, Lego Marvel and either Ghosts or Battlefield over the two weeks after launch :D

    Jaysus yeah that would make you sit up and take notice although its situations like those where afterwards you feel extra good without getting extra just cos your so relieved to have what you lost again.

    Probably one of my favorite Cities Amsterdam. Was the first real city break myself and the missus went on years ago and we've been three times since. We were somewhat surprised just about how nice and beautiful the city was. Plenty to do. We did the museums, we did the nice canal trips, we did the bicycles and of course we did the coffee shops and red light.

    Actually a bit of a laugh the red light district. Thing about Amsterdam is it could all be done a bit OTT, sleazy and in your face but it's pitched just perfect. You'll have a blast.

    There's something great about a guy called Shagnastii in the Red Light District!

    Thanks for that post, sounds exactly what we'd be after. Her for the coffee shops and bike rides, me for the museums and regular rides :p Is Anne Frank's gaff near the city?

    This reminds me of a great gag often told.

    There was a play on in Liverpool about Anne Frank's house. The first scene where the Nazi's arrive to search the house somebody in the audience shouts out "SHE'S IN THE ATTIC!!!!".
