I’m so excited for this game. The original still hasn’t been beaten, to me.

The Boy Who Stole Half-Life 2 →
Amazing article on the Half Life 2 source leak back in 2003. Love that he describes Sasser as “shoddy code”, and good to see he’s gone on to do security.

The King of Limbs - DiS review. →
I’m of two minds on TKoL. It’s either a fucking great Radiohead album but not worth much talk, or it’s their finest work since Kid A.
My gut feeling? There’s a second half coming next year that’ll clear everything up nicely.
Oh and speaking of Kid A - it’s brilliant to see so many arsehole journalists have to eat their words about it not being very good. Only...

An interview with the Daring Fireball →
Gruber is, like, the nicest man in the industry. I only do this shit, this dreadful cycle of fixing and breaking and hacking and fixing again, because at a very delicate time his blog taught me it’s okay to care about the details.
It’s not about Apple. It’s about giving a fuck.

More bad news from the industry that seems to like bad news.
I know they haven’t exactly been at their best since Perfect Dark, but Banjo Kazooie Nuts & Bolts was bloody amazing. They don’t deserve this.

ADB just about sums it up perfectly as to why the 40K universe has such a devout fanbase. Fuck all that painting and shit, it’s the setting that’s incredible.

A little bit more Lovecraft for the afternoon.
Field Recordings Followup
So that last link, Field Recordings from the Edge of Hell?
Yeah.
Listened to it all of last night having just read Amigara Fault and the list of notes from Lovecraft’s journal.
I’m going to be honest. It wasn’t a great night for sleep.

La Petite Claudine: Commonplace Book →
This book consists of ideas, images, & quotations hastily jotted down for possible future use in weird fiction. Very few are actually developed plots—for the most part they are merely suggestions or random impressions designed to set the memory or imagination working. Their sources are various—dreams, things read, casual incidents, idle conceptions, & so on. —H. P. Lovecraft

In CASINO ROYALE, James Bond is the Bond girl. Look at the way they even show him emerging from the ocean like Ursula Andress. Sexual torture, too, if less creepy-glam than being stripped and painted gold. Vesper Lynd is Bond: never not in control, never without a plan, seducing to further her goals.
