Dead DSL
Our DSL has been on the fritz since Wednesday. This is probably a good thing, since it’s giving me a good reason to ditch our current provider and take advantage of the [Smart Telecom Offer](http://www.smarttelecom.ie/products/broadband/) of 2MB for EUR35/mon.
Updates will probably be more sporadic than usual until we’re back up and running.

The great game-movie divide
I don’t know if it was out of morbid curiosity, or if it was simply because the trailer makes it look so cheesy, but I went to see [Assault on Precinct 13](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0398712/) over the weekend. At one point during the show, my companion turned to me and said “It’s like a cop *Counter-Strike*!”. Which was pretty much spot-on. Games had been feeding off movies for so long that they’ve gotten pretty good at copying the look and style of exactly this kind of film - the big, raucous, no-brainer, filled-with-explosions kind of film.
When I got home, I came across an article claiming that [Ube Boll was working on a film of Counter-Strike](http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=22818) (which later [turned out to be false](http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/counterstrikesource/news_6117482.html)). My brief flash of panic prompted me to check the [IMDB](http://www.imdb.com) to see what movies based on videogames we have to look forward to in the foreseeable future.
