  1. Hahahaahaha that's quality. I expected him to knacker his hand but that's even better.
  2. Happy birthday brah!
  3. His dancing cock,down by his knees ?
  4. Lies! She's awesome!
  5. Which is why I tend to go for quite mellow ambient music when I read- the feeling of the whole album is more important than the individual moment to moment music so even at quite a 'low' level mentally, it's nice to have on
  6. Well for me it kind of comes down to the fact that I pretty much have music on constantly. I listen to way more than a lot of people I know so the lack of it is, for me, more distracting than anything caused by the music itself.
  7. COD does a lot right, actually. For one thing, the audio visual feedback of the game is fantastic. That little crosshair blip and white noise pop they do for when you hit stuff is genius. And there's a reason their take on scopes and ADS shooting has become ubiquitious with the genre: It's absolutely fucking quality. But beyond that, I think the series is dead in the water. The campaigns just seem to be sliding further and further in to non-game territory- puppet string crap that requires no player agency beyond moving forwards and triggering an arbitrary cutscene. It's just awful. And the MP is crap too- it rewards negative and boring play and only those who plough hours and hours in to it get all the best stuff. Battlefield is coming from another, more compelling design background. It's a more complex game and it rewards play. Proper, thoughtful play that 'interactive movie' games have all but stamped out.
  8. It was basically a bit of parental type casting, in retrospect. Bet they feel like right pricks now he's a genocidal sociopath trying to enslave the universe in an empire founded solely on fear and terror. The dick.
  9. He looks awesome too. Spot on with the design and character.
  10. re: American Psycho Just listen to the music he talks about in the book. Huey Lewis, Diana Ross, Phil Collins et al. --- For me, I can't do words no more. Ambient or instrumental stuff like Explosions in the Sky or more chilled out Mogwai is always good.
  11. I won't lie- I've been calling her my girlfriend for a couple of weeks anyway so the main reason I wanted to change my relationship status on Facebook was really just to get rid of all the 'get a date tonight!' adds with really bad Myspace style 'profile' pics. Awful. So glad they're gone!
  12. Great Success. And it was me, though only because she told me to
  13. Just went facebook legit with my girlfriend. Hurrah.

    Friday

    It all rings a bit much like crowds shouting 'jump!' at people on rooftops and the frankly baffling instances of people thorwing rocks at paramedics attempting to help people who have collapsed in the street. Pretty grim. I don't get it.

    Prey 2

    the thing with the portals in prey was that they were really just doors. It wasn't like in Portal where they had cool physics properties etc. Looked nice though, and made the ship feel more alien, which was a plus.
  16. ..... ... cock.

    The man makes a good point. The awfulness of the song (it really is fucking shit) and the crass crapness of the video are one thing to joke about, but the sheer bile of the twitter response aimed directly at Black herself is just...unsettling. Deeply unplesant stuff.
  18. Ha! Everyone go on goole and search for 'Helvitica'
  19. Alright so we know that the internet goes a bit mental on April 1st but it's hard to keep track of everything. I thought this could be a fun thread to basically log all the cool jokes and articles that we can find today. First one I saw was The Gurdian one. They've 'reveresed' their republican agenda and launched a pro monarchy live-blog counting down to the royal wedding. Ok, your turn. I've got work I should be doing.

    Crysis 2

    MP is fuuuun. Kind of manic, which is a change from the SP, but it's cool. The nano suit feels really fun when you bounce around levels at silly speeds and fuck around with cool moves and tactics. Good times.
  21. Ha. Hadn't heard that one. Just his particularly vile reputation as a racist cunt.
  22. I'm not always big on Miller but he's occasionally incredible- I really rate this book and a few others. He's unbearable elsewhere, though, and clearly a total shit, personally.
  23. Awesome page, anyway. Stone cold classic.
  24. Anyone got a spare 100k?
