Got a couple of games from Gamestation as I had £19 credit:

Project Rub (DS)
Bruce Lee: Return of the Legend (GBA)

I know, they're probably crap - though Project Rub looks funny

The first one's fun, but the Bruce Lee is supposed to suck. Hard.

Bugger.
Oh well.
Which slot in the DS Lite do you put DS games in BTW? Slot 2 is for GBA games and Slot 1 is for DS Game Cards

Project Rub is.. um, surreal, lol

Steamboy: Limited Edition

Well... my Dragonball comic (volume 3) finally arrived from play.com. Remember how it wa ssent on the same day with Splinter Cell but didnt arrive on the same day? Weird...

Anyway, I read it in the train on my way home from my girlfriend, and it's just so much fun. It's comedic genius by Toriyama. If anyone's interested in getting into manga: they're only 5 pounds each and they're really enjoyable. Love the artwork as well. If you have 5 pounds to spare, do give it a try.

WHAT??? 5 Pounds? They are 5 Euro over here in Germany.

"Dragonball" is probably one of the most entertaining mangas I ever read. With a total of 42 volumes I had a wonderful and long time with them.

That film will be a massive letdown if you're expecting another Akira.

Bought today while in town:-
R2UK The Hustler SE - $10
R4 Carlito's Way - $15
R4 Ed Wood SE - $15
R4 Session 9 - $10 - From The Machinist director Brad Anderson, a low-budget psychological horror film that's reportedly akin to Jacob's Ladder and Silent Hill.

LOL, are you supposed to expect another Akira? I have watched "Steamboy" before and I enjoyed it a lot.

John Cleese forever!!!

Fawlty Towers is great - we always watch it at school when we´ve got nothing to do...

I didn´t know they are available on DVD. Our teacher recorded them on VHS, when they were on "3sat"

thelostdragon wrote:OVAs?

(aka OAV) Original Video Animation. Direct-to-video anime mini-series (sometimes are even 1 or 2 episodes long). Often produced becuz they have less strict censorship rules than productions intended for TV. They often have higher budgets too. Famous examples are the "Samurai X" productions, which are OVAs of Rurouni Kenshin.

The general trend of anime budgeting = theatrical films>OVAs>TV shows.
