Re: Recommended Reading

There's also Misspent Youth which predates the whole thing and is set in the near future at the time that the rejuve technology they use first starts. It's a pretty nasty story with nasty people as said by the author himself, but it goes into detail about a few things referenced in the later books -...

Re: Brum Bash X - The one not at Grimmie's parents' house

Drunken archery and bumming in a chocolate factory.

Hmm, that might be a bit dangerous as I am glucose intolerant.

Re: New season talk type thread thing.

I'm watching The Tunnel which has popped up with a second series on Sky Atlantic/Canal+ after a three-year gap. It is a British-French cop duo investigating crimes which start out with a link to the channel tunnel. The British guy was Stannis in Game of Thrones and the French woman was Fleur in Harr...

Re: Rust server

I guess we've probably all got bored of this, there are a few people on there, most of whom are content to do their own thing. A couple of kids though have pretty much stolen everything that isn't locked away, which to my mind is less "raiding" and more "being a dick". Culprits a...

Re: New season talk type thread thing.

I find that with series of 6 to 12 episodes I actually have some hope of managing to watch them all before: 1. I get bored as the story isn't moving quick enough 2. I get burned out and don't really care anymore 3. They air the next season I usually like to have at least one extra episode in the ban...

Re: Movie Trailers

Isn't that sort of Jan Ors and Kyle Katarn era stuff and basically their brief? Apparently she's called Jyn Erso though which has totally some different letters to Jan Ors.

Re: Recommended Reading

The Hydrogen Sonata is fantastic. It's also got one of my favourite Culture ship names, 'Mistake Not...' - its full title is most impressive. It also goes into more detail on Subliming, an idea that I find fascinating. It is a fun read with a lot of ships in, with some great names, dialogue and gen...

Re: Star Wars: The Spoilers Awaken

So, someone has gone off an made a video showing just how much of a homage VII was to the original But that's (I thought) entirely the point. The new film is a love letter to the original film, and pretty much the love letter that I would have written. Big smiles from the nostalgic old fuckers like...

Re: Take 10 Albums

The order is the order I thought of them, not any especial importance, though that may be inferred. 1.

Re: Movie Trailers

The remake of Robocop was a decent enough film but it's PG rating meant it lacked the brutality of the original and the writing meant it laked the clever satire. However it was relevant, visually impressive and had some great performances. Ghostbusters might not manage all of those, and if that face...

Out of interest how did you contact them? I've tried using their 'Contact Us' help page several times now, and it just sits there with the circle spinning not submitting the report.

Re: New season talk type thread thing.

I saw the previews and thought it looked good, but then I saw it was the second season and I'd not seen the first which unlike say Sky or Virgin isn't on available on demand because of the unique way the BBC is funded: DVD sales.

Re: Star Wars: The Spoilers Awaken

Saw this last night and rather liked it. It was fun and had the sort of actual laughs that the original trilogy had, not the groans or downright po-facedness of the second trilogy. Also as DP mentioned, far more spark on screen with the new characters, too. I liked that the guy who when he first app...
