From my point of view, this is blog worthy because the game development was done entirely by Sidhe interactive which is based here in Wellington. Looks like they've done a pretty sweet job if the trailer is anything to go by!

Here is the list of films I would want to see if time and budget were limitless (realistically I expect to get to about half of these):

A Few Days in September
Short Films From 2007 Sundance
Animation Now
Bella
Cocaine Cowboys
Comrades in Dreams
Day Watch
Deep Water
Eagle Vs Shark
Eye In The Sky
Forever
Four Minutes
Half Nelson
Hand Painted Under Camera
Helvetica
Inland Empire
Kissy Kissy
La Vie En Rose
My Kid Could Paint That
No Mercy For The Rude
Noise
Paprika
Red Road
Rescue Dawn
Retribution
Riza
Romulus, My Father
Salty Air
Severance
Still Life
Tekkonkinkreet
The Bothersome Man
The Devil Came On Horseback
The Digital Space
The Hired Hand
The Lost
The Secret Life Of Words
Night of the Sunflowers
The Signal

Most of the pain is caused by the slower-than-dialup connection speeds and a signal that is constantly dropping out. The rest of the pain is caused by having to wait about 30-40 minutes on their phone line every time I've called them to complain about their service. Not even the IRD is this bad!

The latest in the long saga of my dealings with this company is an email I keep receiving requesting me to return their modem (emphasis mine):

Subject: Urgent Reminder: Return Woosh Equipment

<snip>

This is a reminder to please return your Woosh equipment. Our records show that you still have a Woosh owned Modem. If you have not received a courier-pack with full instructions, you can request one by ringing 0800 4 WOOSH (0800 4 96674) and return the equipment without incurring any freight charges.

If you have returned this equipment, please notify us by sending an email to accounts@woosh.com or phone us so we can update our records

Fees may be charged by Woosh for items not returned.

Well I have asked for courier pack twice now. I'm not going to ring and wait for 40-odd minutes to ask for it again. Woosh should provide a return courier pack with the modem anyway (Speculation: they probably don't because they are scared people will cancel the service after trying it for the first time).

In my opinion, of the all ISPs I've tried in New Zealand, Woosh sucks the hardest. I'd avoid them unless you absolutely need the wireless functionality, in which case you're probably better off going with Vodafone. It might cost more, but at least they don't suck.

I can sort of forgive not having Rufige Kru, and kind of understand not having anything by The Shins, but not the others.
