Rayman Pirate-Community

< has finally finished <'s artwork.
< is pretty satisfied with the work.

<'s provisional driving licence finally came in the post

< heard that transportation had been disrupted by bus strike so < stayed home today to be safe from being stranded.

Ah < doesn't feel too confident about todays interview as < wasn't informed that there was going to be a test during it

< is glad that the Hangman game continued a little.

< downloaded and saved the "Rayman 2 soundtrack" FLAC zip file and < extracted all of the soundtracks to the "Downloads" folders.
< only needs to send them over to <'s Ipod Nano and < is good to go.. as long as the computer does not screw < over like a few other times before.

So, Amazon want to make a TV Series based off the Lord of the Rings books. < finds this to be interesting proposition, given the longer running time, perhaps they'll be able to expand upon the lore in ways which the films (long and extended as they were), could not.

EDIT: < did some more reading, it turns out that they're not adapting the trilogy, but exploring plot points prior to the beginning of Fellowship. < wonders in that case, if it'll be based of written lore, or if they'll be adding their own original concepts.

<'s always felt Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth would work better in an episodic structure but that makes < skeptical, Amazon hasn't really been giving anyone a reason to switch from Netlfix and it'll be a test of their commitment to see if they'll opt for making a proper Game of Thrones competitor or just lol, it's lotr everyone's gonna watch it

< also hopes they use this structure to their advantage to amplify some of the more poetic, surreal moments of the books that could make for really excellent episodes, in favour of the Ubisoft route of endless war plots that give an excuse to show off the Balrog

< is having real trouble with "The Prison Ship" in Rayman 2.

< would've been more interested if it was another adaption from the books but < is unsure about the prequel thing

<'s heard the new adaptation was OK'd by Christopher Tolkien which is a total 180 from his previous stance of being completely against adaptations.
< imagines he'll be quite involved in the project, and while <'s not too fond of Christopher's stubborn conservatism when it comes to Tolkien's works < is quite relieved this time as it means there's probably going to be a pretty good level of quality control and faithfulness to the source material.

< is listening to TCR ghost radio graffiti trolling sessions

< wants a pet giant African millipede but <'s parents are too creeped out by the idea. < doesn't see why considering they're basically just armoured sausages with little legs.

< never got the phone interview < was supposed to have today which thankfully got moved to Thursday but bleeeeh

Better than being left in the dark, < guesses, though ^ can sympathise in regards to getting messed about.

< has finished making the list of Christmas presents < wants.

< knows <'s getting a Switch for Christmas but for the most part <'s in the dark concerning Christmas presents

After 5 hours of waiting < did finally get through an alright phone interview with this person

That's good to hear, < hopes it ends up well for ^.

The family car broke down.
So < took rides from a Taxi Driver who <'s parents are familiar with.
< Had Nice rides to and from When < was out.

< Found Some More cents on the ground today.

The assessments are mounting for < in Algebra II, Economics and Spanish. So many of them.
