If you've ever had a passing interest in professional wrestling and did not see the ECW last night, go out of your fecking way to do so. It'll remind of why you ever had that passing interest. Serious.
Anyway, in writing there's a difference between writing brilliance and writing believing you'll make things brilliant. It takes doing the former to fully realise the latter. Which is annoying, especially when the former's a four-page script and the latter's a bloody book you spent weeks on preparing. The lesson is learned here is - if one's having trouble making the crux of the book work then it is chronically fecked and the story you want to tell isn't there so refocus your energies into another project.
Bah. Always find out things they hard way I do.
The guy who put together the National Treasure soundtrack is a genius.
God my brain is locking. I'll end this with questions 3.
1. What your favourite ECW fan chant/taunt.
2. What videogames have you paused to perve at the characters.
3. Greatest accomplishments in videogaming and you feel genuinely proud about.
And fer the reKord:
1. 'Fuck him up, Hatguy, Fuck him up' - from House Party '98
2. All the Streetfighters. All the Tekkens. Rival Schools. Bloody Roar. Guilty Gear X, Soul Edge, Soul Calibur & WWF Attitude (for a very humourous reason involving Sgt Slaughter and Taka Michinoku. Still have that on tape somewhere.
3. Signing Ranaldo & Davor Suker for fee for Aston Villia in Championship Manager 95/96. Bunking off school with my brother to buy Double Dragon 2 for the Amiga and winnin git on our first game. Coining the DUNCAN in Super Bomberman. Charging up the stairs with an auto-shotgun in Counterstrike (they died and ran - so funny. Both sides bigged me up when I died.) Vs Graham in NFL '93 (I took an early lead, he equallised and from the face off he put the puck into the back of his own net -- he went ballistic) Vs Egg in Madden 2002 (He's 24-14 up with 2 mins left. I score, get the onside. He picks me off & runs it back. Replay overturns it... wrongly. He misses the go ahead FG. I score on a bomb on the next play. He gets the ball back. I hit him as he's throwing, the ball flutters into my DB's hands and he runs it back. He's distraught. -- Note to Metaleric: he was the Lions. I was the Scottish Claymores... heh). Going 1 vs 5 against Macrae in Tekken 2... and winning. Winning FFX at 5:00am listening to Otherworld, played an hour of FF6 then fecking off to work. The 1st Target Renegade game with Egg played on the CPC emulator (chaotic doesn't do the moment justice). Vs Psycho Mantis in Metal Gear Solid (a game I had to be forcibly referred to the FAQ after getting so wound up). Crapping my pants when the crows burst through the glass in Resident Evil 2. Being in the room during Jammy's incredible F!GP crash (had it happened in real life people would have died, including cameraman). Me and Egg side by side in F1GP2 (I'm defending my line vs him the faster car when he suddenly goes airborne and off the track. To this day he accuses me of cheating). Vs Graham in Madden 2004 (while he's gabbing, I onside kick it. He sees this and all but calls me a fucking cheat. I win 58-54).
Jesus that went on longer than I expected. Ho-hum.

Haven't heard Batdance in years...
I hope those girls like torture scenes!
in answer to the questions:
1: I have no idea... but that Hatguy line's pretty damn funny.
2: All the ones you listed and Final Fantasy X... shut up.
3: Staying up all night christmas eve to genuinely beat the fuck out of Rampage for the NES. All 50 states plus the 2nd round of 20 states! 6 hours of my life I'll never get back... but I wouldn't have it any other way.
