umm, you know that kind of flexible coiled pipe? they use it for the extended thin bits on hoovers. Buy some! Kraven would be good too. Waistcoat, fake fur and some cuddly toys. Do it!

you'd make a better doctor octopus. Also, the arms would be fairly easy.

What would win in a fight between a dinosaur and a whale?

I mentioned it as an ideal thread elsewhere, Dyson obliged. What a gent. -
send me an add for 360, guys. always up for a game.

I'd argue there's actually a great deal of warmth at the core of the book in their relationship. You know, ish.

Yay I win at forum!

So The Road has surfaced in trailer land Looking excellent. It looks like they've expanded the narrative a bit and widened the role of the supporting cast. Probably a good move- a totally faithful adaptation would be both dramatically unsatisfying for cinema and, more to the point, totally pointless. Psyched.

Unemployment, travelling and smoking thread. Apparently.

As long as you work for a registered charity, no. -
Aye, Claremont is a war criminal for it. X-Treme X-Men was a fucking exposition car crash. Noticeably, all the top Marvel guys have followed Morrison's lead. Fraction, Millar et al. Kirkman, too, over at Image. Invincible and The Walking Dead both feature next to no captions and neither feature thought bubbles. it's very post Miller, really. In V for Vendetta he didn't even use SFX.

I'd like to add that peanuts are fucking awesome. ----- Burnout Paradise My friend finally bought this- cue a return to Paradise for yours truly, a bunch of dumbass challenges and a general lark around. Absolutely amazing game this- I think it's the absolute bleeding edge of multiplayer, community support and design this gen. Other developers should look upon this game with nothing short of fear and awe.

speaking of New X-Men; I think it was the first comic I read (on an almost x-clusive diet of material anyway) where characters didn't talk during a fight. Meta dialog always fucked me off in x-men. It was always the way that, rather than just show the powers off, the writers felt it necessary to explain what each power was every issue. Grant Morrison was pretty ahead of the curve dropping that bollocks- clearly he realised the absurdity of cyclops waxing lyrical about his optic blasts while he was already smashing the fuck out of walls with his eyes
-
sorry but that's total bollocks.

I loved the 'down to earth stuff' line then the slow mo power slide with a cargo jet landing in the background. Proper funny.

Yeah it's good took me about a week to get my hands used to the button placement though. It'll throw you off initially.

The fightpad has VASTLY improved my game, SC. For me, fluffing the inputs (already generous) is a thing of the past so now I can concentrate on strats, not dexterity barriers. Kicks Ass on arcade games too- Bionic Commando is hot sex on it. 360 pad is usb too so if you have any 2d games on pc it works on that. Zoom Zoom!

safe. Will be tuning in i reckon

back from London. Night was more epic than I really know how to express. *looks at wallet and cries*

shush now and listen to uncle Ashley. Applying for jobs way below me does, unfortunately, seem par for the course. Doesn't stop it being bullshit, but it has to be done. Hopefully, this job I'm going for in Sheff Uni will be an exception of sorts: everything I've done in my spare time is, I think, experience enough. Then there's, you know, being me. I'd kick ass at this one. -
hahaaaha Rob Liefeld blows so hard.

I've had a thing for eco terrorism ever since FFVII

I beleive the initialisation was in jest, sir.
-
oh, hey, so it is. weird.

radio means little compared to download sales now. It'll still do well.
-
everyone should read the Guardian review of Transformers. even if you don't agree (total slating) it's a hilarious read.

Last night was immense. My friend Jonny Fox (had to get the awesome full name in) is, sadly, Departing our hilly abode for warmer climes in Devon on Tuesday. Last night was his big send off with the old guard- all our best friends from over the years. I had a fantastic time just chillin, blazin the rum n cokes and catching up with some peeps I've not seen properly in aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. Teh Awsum. Tonight: Another send off! uni mate is going to Africa (I kiss the rain!) for 6 months so we're seeing him off in style. Still waiting to hear from my mates who are driving me there though (watford, not Africa )
