Last night I had got round to watching a movie I’d wanted to see a couple of years ago, but totally forgot about it. I didn’t really know what to expect from this movie as I’d forgotten most of the premise. I just knew that it was something I’d wanted to see.

It was called “The World’s Fastest Indian”, starring Anthony Hopkins. His performance was, as always, simply amazing. It’s a true story about the later years of a man named Burt Munro.

Burt Munro is a 67-year-old New Zealander who is obsessed with speed. He is a loner who lives in a bike shed on a vacant lot in a family neighborhood. He spends most of his time modifying his beloved 1920s Indian motorcycle, and occasionally racing it against modern opponents. The movie’s plot revolves primarily around Burt attempting to follow his dream of setting a new land speed record with his Indian at the Bonneville Salt Flats near Wendover, Utah.

The man spent 25 years trying to achieve his dream. I was in awe at his determination and moved by the story. I don’t want to say any more, because it would simply spoil it. I really recommend you watch this film at least once in your life.

On a downer note, right after I finished watching this, I heard Heath Ledger had died the same day.

If you just be safe about the choices you make, you don’t grow.

Rest in Peace.

I can’t believe this sudden burst of games lately. I’ve been eating a packed lunch the past week in an attempt to save some cash after purchasing Assassin’s Creed, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, N3: Ninety Nine Nights and Zombies Calling. I thought, great! These should keep me content for the next few months. I still want to pick up Mass Effect too at some point. Damn it!! See? All these games does not stop the lusting after the next load of upcoming titles. Oh, when will it end?!? *eats sandwich*

Looking forward to getting my hands on an Alone in the Dark demo (PLEASE release one T_T) but in the meantime, I played the demo for Dark Messiah of Might & Magic, which I really liked, and also just discovered Dark Sector (pictured above+below) which is coming out in about a month or so. Currently, very much looking forward to this title. It looks like super fun and it totally slipped under my radar. I only came across it by complete accident when I was doing a search for Dark Messiah on Amazon.

The main character in Dark Sector has had his arm exposed to some toxic disease and it mutates “into a gnarled, armoured instrument of destruction that can spontaneously grow a three-bladed flying weapon called the glaive”. It’s played in a third person view and has a few similar traits as RE:4, thus its appeal.

Lately I’ve noticed an influx in the action-mmo genre. *JOY*
