Dexter is very good, I quite enjoyed the start of Sanctuary too, but I've gone off watching TV at the minute
I'd highly recommend watching Castle, Bones and Chuck too, they're probably my favourite series at the moment.

I don't tend to buy DVDs much anymore, as I rarely watch any more than about 5 at a time, and I tend to download more these days anyway.

That sounds awesome Gonz, bit of exposure for you? Can you tell us anything more, or is it all a bit hush-hush?

I'm going for a numerical test at a multinational company on Thursday, if (when) I pass that, I'll be invited in for an interview. If I get that job, it'd be an immediate payrise, so fingers crossed!

I've not read anything recently, I tend to re-read old books for the most part.

Spot's First Ball, Where's Wally - that kind of shizzle.

Spot's first ball was pretty good
but I think the series lost it's way by the time they got to Spot Visits the Farm. There were some seriously concerning subtexts in Who's There Spot, too

I thought they lacked a convincing protaganist to be honest.

Really?
I thought that was the one thing they had going for them, especially with the character development from the early books

totally shallow. You can see right through him.

But that is part of his charm
his naivety draws in the reader to his plights and adventures and helps us to identify with him. He is a flawed and shallow creature, but the fact that he is not a perfect hero makes him seem more human.

Spot is a fucking gaylord.

Is that the new book?

6 part mini-series

I'm never quite sure about it's translation to TV
Though I heard the film will be quite dark

The Redwall series are simple ones that I can pick up and finish in a few hours, good way of wasting a bit of time
Aside from that, it's usually either Tolkein or Pratchett books.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 9:33, Reply)

Oh man oh man oh man, is Redwall the one with the mice/rats/animals in the castle or something like that?
I'm sure I've read one as a kid, never finished it because I didn't really 'do' books when I was a kid, only started reading for pleasure when I was 18 or soo. I think I might make a return to them.

Aye, they're the ones
I've got about 20 of them, always a joy to go back to.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 9:47, Reply)

I don't know redwall
Tolkein is (obviously good), prachett I kind of like, but it gets a bit samey don't you find?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 9:40, Reply)

Have you heard of Tom Holt ?
I've read quite a few of his books, enjoyed them quite a bit. It's like Pratchet only in a modern-world setting.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 9:41, Reply)

I read one
but I think I only finished out of tenaciousness. I find comic fantasy/sci fi is often done really badly and tend to revolve around loldwarvesusinglaptopslol. Tom Holt wasn't the worst I didn't mind it in places, but I thought it was like he was just building a story around a few jokes.

Expecting Someone Taller and Who's Afraid of Beowulf were good
after that he seemed to be phoning it in.

I agree it has done in parts, but never to an extent where it really bothers me.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 31 Aug 2011, 9:47, Reply)

Ahh, Dexter, I think I could like that. I've not heard of the others though.
Kindda exposure, it'll look amazing on my CV, I can't really say much more at the moment, but I got our design team to get on the ball this week so I can develop it towards the end of the week and launch early next week... that's the proof of buisness concept, when that's up'n'running, we'll use our contacts to see if we can get them onboard, I can't see why not though, it'll be just as awesome for them as it is for us. The sort of names we're looking at are Relentless, Monster, Nike6, all the magazines that we run here.

Oh sweet, that sounds good for you.

If you want a good book, check out The Magicians and The Magician King by Lev Grossman. Do The Magicians first.

That sounds excellent for you Gonz, woo!
I shall definitely keep my eye out for them, cheers.
