Yes, in my quest to crack Hollywood, I have come up with a brilliant idea for an original villain in the next Batman movie. Not only that, but he's someone I can personally identify with as a villain for our times, based as he is on...me. By the way these uploads are timestamped so anyone nicking my idea and claiming it as theirs better watch out. Villains are litigious, baby.
The Fiddler is someone who just can't leave things alone. Casting wise, probably would be played by Stephen Fry (but then again only if Hugh Laurie was playing Batman). If it can be upgraded, improved or slightly altered in terms of appearance, The Fiddler will be there. Slightly faster processor available for your PC? Bang goes half a day sorting that out. New internet browser which might run a bit quicker than internet explorer? it'll be downloaded quicker than you can say 'where have my favorite websites gone?' DVD recording? Kiss goodbye to those VHS tapes with deleted content you can't buy. Sadly, his ambition always slightly outstrips his ability, resulting in bad-tempered hissie fits, malfunctioning equipment and bashing of said equipment with hammers. All of this as a result of an accidental overdose of nerd radiation from a faulty Tiny Computer P-75. That and a close encounter with fellow villain Early-Adopter Man (and he knows who he is).
I wonder if there is therapy for this sort of thing. You don't see Stephen Fry complaining about this sort of thing. Would certainly restore a bit of free time. But then that free time wouldn't be shiny and fast-running would it? No, and nor would you have anyone to advise you on your choice of AV equipment.
Oh well. Back to programming my multi-platform universal remote control..
