The Eclipse

What a let down, I was expecting something far more dramatic. Chris got some nice photos though. And he didn't say anything when I told him I was hoping to post it on my site, so I'm sure that counts as a non-exclusive license to use his photograph on here.
The three of us then spent the night playing more computer games, specifically Counter Strike: Source. I haven't played CS since I fiished uni, but I bought Valve's pack of games ages ago and it included CS:S, and it's much prettier than I remember CS was. But a small part of me misses the poor graphics, the lack of flashy useful things. Sometimes things should be left as they are, you don't go back and tinker with them. Just like you don't do a Star Trek movie about Kirk and Spock et al without using the original cast. It's just going to be wrong. And as much as I love JJ Abrams and his shows (well, for the first season or two, until too many storylines fail to get resolved and the ratings drop and it eventually gets cancelled), I'm not sure even he can break the odd number curse.

I think they have done well with CS:S. The graphics are really pretty and you can actually cause people to be killed by shooting the barrels and making them roll into someone's way thus restricting mobility. On the other hand I think they have made the weapons too accurate and the headshots too easy. I don't like the way they are radomnising the weapon costs either.
