    I started a game of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness this afternoon, and I was much amused by my partner repeatedly being referred to as "Chicken' - not much of an insult, being as she was a Torchic. This doesn't seem to be intentional, since I started a new game with a Pikachu partner, who was still called chicken.

    Aaand now both shows went on to kill off another member of the same family, in a delayed reaction to a blow to the head. Okay, this time it was his aunt rather than his grandfather, but nevertheless, wow. Meanwhile, the murder mystery resolution managed to both a surprise and a beat-for-beat ripoff of the Josh West murder from 2006. Only this time the culprit was named Josh.
  5. What Are You Watching?

    Home and Away, which in addition to copying Neighbours' recent explosion cliffhanger, has also just killed off their closest equivalent to Josh Willis (both in their late teens and both with a twin sister). Also, it seems we're finally going to find out who killed Charlotte in the end of last season (the one Zac was exonerated for by his Facebook likes).

    The Fourth will be with us (somewhere on the planet) for another twenty hours or so.

  9. What Are You Watching?

    Home And Away, currently doing its own "big deadly explosion" cliffhanger. Not quite as effective as the Neighbours one.
  10. What Are You Watching?

    Tomorrow When the War Began. Not as good as the movie, and certainly not as good as the book.
  11. Story Comic for Tuesday, May 3, 2016

    Reminds me of a couple of my favourite moments in the Kung Fu Panda movies.
  12. What Are You Watching?

    Indeed: http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/transcripts/s4454389.htm Though, just to be clear, by "among other things", I meant that that wasn't the entire focus of the fifteen minute episode.
  13. What Are You Watching?

    Media Watch, tonight looking at several Australian media outlets which picked up a National Enquirer story about Prince dying of AIDS, among other things.

    Yep, an episodic game set around the events of the originals. The first chapter is about Graham's arrival in Daventry and how he became a knight, the second just after he becomes king, and the third is about his early relationship with Valanice. One great thing is that it shows Graham is an old man (Christopher Lloyd) telling the story to his granddaughter (Alexander's daughter), so any time you get Graham killed he'll immediately correct himself without you needing a saved game. And I don't there's any unwinnable scenarios like the "throw boot at cat" thing from KQV.
  15. http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2016/apr/29/turnbull-rejects-new-zealand-offer-to-take-150-refugees-from-detention The LNP's determination to choose the least compassionate options imaginable continues.

    King's Quest (2015) chapter 3 is pretty good so far, especially the puzzle where Cedric the owl gets carried off by a badger.
  17. What Are You Watching?

    Yeah, I've seen enough of both shows to know what you mean. Neighbours does bring actors from decades past somewhat frequently (eg, for anniversary episodes), though it's doubtful we'll ever see Scott and Charlene played by Kylie and Jason again. Continuing to watch Pokemon DP in sync with my replay of Platinum. Just past the Veilstone Gym battle.
  18. What Are You Watching?

    For a four-hour condensation of a 12-episode series, it's a pretty good effort I guess. But there are a number of moments that worked better for me in the format of a TV series. The end of episode 3, with the end credits music changing, for example. Or the extended flashback in episode 10 (which still ends with the opening title sequence in the movie, which seemed a little random). I just finished watching Neighbours eipsode #7350, the highlight of which was the introduction of Madison Robinson, in a shot-for-shot recreation of the introduction of her mother Charlene (Kylie Minogue) thirty years ago.
  19. What Are You Watching?

    Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Rebellion, after rewatching the first two movies back to back.
  20. What Are You Watching?

    Neighbours, episode #7347. Gotta say, the scene where Pam was talking about her feelings on Doug's death hit quite close to home.
  21. What Are You Watching?

    Media Watch, tonight examining the long history of TV journalists getting involved in international child abductions.
  22. What Are You Watching?

    The Weekly with Charlie Pickering. This week discussing the Sixty Minutes team who were arrested in Lebanon, data brokers, Clive Palmer, traffic congestion and featuring an interview with Andrew Bolt.
  23. What Are You Watching?

    Your Mum. Otherwise known as Adam Hills: The Last Leg. It had a particularly hilarious discussion of the Egypt Air hijacking.
  24. What Are You Watching?

    Neighbours episode #7337, a double length episode following up on last night's boiler explosion. RIP Josh Willis.
