Outcast is getting a remake! (Hopefully)

Really excited at the moment, looking at the images from the remake of Outcast - one of my favourite games. 

I played it over and over in my teens and I still hum the soundtrack to this day. It's a sci-fi where you can ride animals called Twon-Has and has star-gates, What's not to like? 

Apparently it's getting a remake, which is fantastic. Even though it was WAYYYY ahead of its time graphically, it's gonna be old now by our standards and I'd be overwhelming happy to play it with a new prettiness. (Downloading the original right now by the way, for nostalgia.)

Here is the link on Steam's Greenlight but if you don't have that, Google 'Outcast Remake HD' if you want a bit of further info. 

PLEASE GO AHEAD WITH THIS.

Defending Ricky Gervais a little here.

Apparently Ricky got a little backlash for saying on Twitter, even though it was a joke: 

"Celebrities, make it harder for hackers to get nude pics of you from your computer by not putting nude pics of yourself on your computer. "

He went on to say it was a joke, after a lot of people moaned. 

But I think he has a point.

 It's not like you can just say, "Please hackers, don't hack my shit." Because they'll do it anyway, but if you take your own steps (like not uploading things to Clouds, not sending sex videos to boyfriends who are arseholes and getting a good firewall on your computer) they won't find anything worth uploading. 

It's not like he was blaming the victims, he was just pointing out that you have no control over what a hacker does, but you DO have control over what he finds. 

I do have sympathy for people who have been hacked though, if I took naked pics they'd be awful >.< :D 

 It's wrong what they've done and I don't think it's going to be a rare occurrence these days, unfortunately.

Should I reply?

I received this today from a 'gentleman' called Lomax who is trying to send me money again.

So I've wrote a reply that I think will be suitable, pondering over whether it's worth the constant spam to send it xD 

Can't a girl have any fun?

My Ice Bucket Challenge as Lara Croft! XD

Rik Mayall.

Not posted in a while but I thought this was worth sharing. I have been devastated to hear of Rik Mayall's death, as was most of Britain because he was the funniest bastard on this planet, so I've been thinking of him a lot lately.

I bought myself a Slaughtered Lamb T-Shirt, since he had a cameo in American Werewolf In London and it's once of my all time favourite movies. I used to watch Bottom, The Young Ones all the time as a child (thanks to mum and dad letting me watch it, but sorry that I picked up all the swear words and still use them consistently in every sentence I say) and Drop Dead Fred was a favourite childhood movie. When I was the first in the family to notice him in AAWIL I felt really proud. *puffs up chest* 

I found this on the internet while Googling for some of Rik's best lines and thought it showed just what a foul-mouthed, amazing man he truly was. This is a birthday card that a woman named Karen MacLeavy received after sending a blank card to Rik for her father's 60th birthday, who is a huge fan of his. I doubt they expected to get this in return...

Amazing, huh?

RIP Rik, we'll never forget you.
