EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POLL:




This is a picture (courtesy of lincolnimp) of Derren Brown lying on a great deal of broken glass.


[Poll #1456923]


Something Wicked This Way Comes was the first of Derren Brown's works I saw, and it is still one of my favourites. He hammers a nail up his nose and deprives himself of oxygen and walks on glass and has a man stand on his face and asks an audience member to slap him. I love it for all the wrong reasons.

(I swear I do not usually find pain this attractive. There is just something about Derren Brown injuring himself that is really, really hot.)


To finish on a slightly less horrifying note: here (YouTube link) is an incredibly lovely piece of music from Ōkami. I love that game so much. Its style is so beautiful, and it is so much fun, and, whilst I hesitate to pin down any one videogame as my absolute favourite, Ōkami would almost certainly be in my top three. Let's all listen to the piece and put this glasswalking business behind us.
