Some More Playing Cards

Posted by Cheshire Cat , May 16 2013 · 0 views

Well I probably won't start collecting playing cards again, but I had to order a few decks that looked nice. These arrived today:

The Karnival Inferno deck. The colours are a bit bright, but I do like them.

Some Very Nice Playing Cards

Posted by Cheshire Cat , May 08 2013 · 0 views

These have been released to celebrate the return of the metal band earthtone9 and their new album IV, and since I used to collect playing cards back when I still did a lot of sleight of hand, I figured I might as well pick them up.

They are very nice and a fine addition to my collection. Excuse the not-so-great picture though, I seem to have forgotten how to use my camera.
Now I'm actually considering starting to collect interesting decks of cards again.
 
And I should also probably mention that earthtone9 released a 16 track 'best of' compilation as a free download if anyone is interested in them. I can't really tag them with a genre, but I've heard them called progressive, alternative and post-metal, so there's that.

Back From Another Comedy Show

Posted by Cheshire Cat , Apr 18 2013 · 28 views

So, I went to see three Canadian comedians - Stewart Francis, Craig Campbell and Glenn Wool - on their The Lumberjacks tour tonight.
Stewart Francis has been one of my favourite comedians for quite some time now, so it was great to finally see him live, and the other two were brilliant as well. Haven't laughed that much in a long time.
It was just their second show of the tour, which meant that there were still some imperfections and they were still trying some new stuff out, which only made the show all the better. Also, as it was a fairly small venue, it felt more personal which is always great ^_^
 
 
On another note, I've started buying more albums than I should again. I can't help it, something about a music CD just draws me in and doesn't let go until I've bought it. Especially those fancy limited/special/deluxe/whatever editions...

New Thief 4 Trailer

Posted by Cheshire Cat , Apr 02 2013 · 35 views

There is now a trailer for the Thief reboot, and of course it doesn't tell us much about the game at all, but it still has me pretty excited.
Although I am a bit worried about what direction they'll be taking it in, I have high hopes for it after Eidos Montreal's masterpiece with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Just hoping it doesn't end up like the somewhat disappointing Hitman: Absolution from last year.
 
I mean, it turns out they're not gonna call it THI4F after all, which is certainly a good sign.

Happy New Year Everyone!

Posted by Cheshire Cat , Dec 31 2012 · 48 views

Well, it's 2013 in the UK. So far it's better than 2012, but then again, it's only been 50 minutes.
And I say that, but the last few months of 2012 have actually been great for me. Here's hoping 2013 is like that for most of it.
 
 
You know what game is great? Batman: Arkham Asylum. Been playing it a lot over the past few days and I've enjoyed it tremendously. It's nice to have something like this once in a while in the sea of shooters and endless sequels.

Spending My Birthday Money

Posted by Cheshire Cat , Dec 14 2012 · 63 views

Decided to finally spend some of the money I got for my birthday and got all this stuff in the last couple of days.
You know, just to make sure I have things to distract me from doing university assignments and revising for exams.

Cryptic Clues?

Posted by Cheshire Cat , Dec 07 2012 · 72 views

So, I mentioned yesterday that I got a used copy of the limited edition of Paradise Lost's album One Second. As I was looking through the booklet, this piece of paper fell out:

What does it mean? Does it mean anything at all? Has it been there for the whole 15 years that this copy of the album existed?
It kinda makes me sad that I will never know.

Back From A Comedy Show

Posted by Cheshire Cat , Nov 23 2012 · 47 views

So, I went to see the brilliant Steve Hughes tonight, and it was great. Bonus points to him for having Motorhead songs playing before the show started.
This was actually the first time I've seen a comedian live, and having enjoyed it quite a lot, it seems that a fair amount of my free time at university will be divided between going music concerts and going to comedy shows. Often at the same venue too.

Another Year, Another Birthday

Posted by Cheshire Cat , Nov 12 2012 · 75 views

Well, I am now 19. Which is quite a boring age really. Nothing of much significance comes with it, but I am getting to the point where birthdays are becoming mundane.

Ah well, I'll go listen to I'm Eighteen by Alice Cooper now, and pretend that I'm still 18 and that song is still the perfect fit for celebrating my birthday.

It was good. Really good.
