Sorry to derail this thread, but who's son? Also, I've been thinking of saying fuck Lady Chatterley's Lover (if you know what I'm... ah forget it) and return to Lovecraft and M.R. James. Was having a lot of fun with those two. In fact, I need more Lovecraft books, the short story collection I have now collects At the Mountains of Madness, The Case of Chalres Dexter Ward, The Dreams in the Witch-House, The Statement of Randolph Carter, The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Silver Key and Through the Gates of the Silver Key... where should I go next?

Ohhh yeah! That's right. You find the remains of the other two forms you can take and have to play the Song of Healing.

Supposedly there are numerous errors or typos of some sort, but it's cheap yo! At the end of this year they are coming out with a reprint sans mistakes, for around $30 hardcover.Fuck $30 dollars, I'll go with the mistakes. The one I've got now has some mistakes in it too, I just figured Lovecraft was either lazy or too stoned to correct it. Cheers.

It's an oddity for fans of the Zelda series anyway, I can only imagine what it's like for anyone else who hasn't prior knowledge of what the games are all about.Here's the first nine minutes or so of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzgH57VW-l4Such a dark, and at times really quite depressing, game.

And possibly my favourite out of the series! There's an awful lot of death and grieving in it, for a game that was arguably for kids. Heck, you learn later in the game that that weird looking 'tree' from the beginning is actually the corpse of the son of a character you meet, killed by the Skull Kid for shits and giggles.And the music, man, the music.Disclaimer: Nintendo fanboy---->

The deku butler that you have to chase after. He apologises for legging it and explains that you look just like his missing son, who he used to race against. In the ending, you see him break down in front of the tree/body. The goron mask and zora mask contain the souls of deceased characters. The implication is that Skull Kid killed the deku butlers son. I can't recall, but don't you use the same song of healing to create all three masks?

The best horror film I've seen recently is Sheitan. Vincent Cassell plays a gleefully demented nutjob. It's by no means a comedy, but it's hilarious to watch Cassell go bonkers. It's unclear whether anything supernatural is actually going on, which makes it even spookier. It's not a stretch to call this the French Texas Chainsaw Massacre. On Netflix instant watch.
