Riding Giants is an incredible documentary detailing the history and stories of three influential big-wave surfers, Gregg Noll, Jeff Clark, and Laird Hamilton. Stacy Peralta did an amazing job taking on the role of director and should be congratulated for doing such a brilliant job. The structure of the film is edited brilliantly and works perfectly with the narration, interviews, animation and surfing footage. The music soundtrack just adds to the overall satisfaction of watching this film, making Riding Giants brilliant viewing. Personal highlights include any of Greg Noll's comments, what with his straight-to-the-point frankness, Laird Hamilton's footage at Teahupoo, and the out-takes at the end of the movie. But really this entire film is one big, recommended highlight that comes highly recommended if you have the opportunity to see. It's a shame it isn't more well known, but it is a gem deserving of attention. 10/10

Leisure Suit Larry: Love for Sail!
(1996 Video Game)
Funniest Adventure Game of All Time:)
30 June 2005
Larry 7 is a hilarious adventure game that was the first in the series to employ the use voice-acting and animation. The outrageous embarrassments that our hero has to undergo just to get friendly with the ladies are probably the funniest things seen in any game. A very playable game with top-notch dialogue (many of which are my favorite characters, the Narrator and "Peggy"), it is a great shame that this was to be the last in the series, especially as it set up the sequel which was called Leisure Suit Larry 8, Lust in Space. Sadly, the gaming industry lost a great series and as well as great games creator, Al Lowe. Hopefully these games will see the light of day again.
