Hello there!

I'm Exotic_Almonde, but I go by Evealia (Eve for short).

I have lots of games I love and I talk about them here, in addition to writing fanfics, book commentary and showing off the art my friends create when they're too shy or hesitant to do so.

Here we collect husbands and gush about art. Feel warned, because once I start, I never shut up.

For Archiving purposes, this librarian friend of yours is going to compile a list of things I've written about so far:

Things that make life better #2

DVD Commentaries

Some people HATE them. I love them, in fact if a film / show has a good comm track I rarely watch it without.

They tend to fair better when voiced by a combination of performers and creators. The League of Gentlemen have some of the best comm tracks that even have running gags (Homoerotic opening and "who are they?")

One of the funniest ones thats not really worth listening to is the kids of Nanny Mcphee (the first one) and the director, the kids get bored and one is eating crisps near the mike!

One man commentaries can be dull unless it's a stand up comic as they are used to talking for a long time. Ross Noble's are like another stand up gig. On one dvd he does a commentary on the commentary.

The most honest is Neil Gaiman in Neverwhere. He talks about the bits he doesn't like! I guess when you do a comm so many years after it's creation you can get away with it. Actually, if you're Neil Gaiman you can get away with anything.

others I like are Spaced, Sherlock, First Men in the Moon, A very funny one on Severance (a bizarre combo of Andy Nyman and Danny Dyer!) Queer as Folk and all the Stephen Poliakoff DVDs.
