  1. Will you be updating the forums in any way? Does this mean we'll lose the amazing banner on top? Will we ever get rid of the table based layout so I can make awesome custom stylesheets?
  2. Idle Twits

    I tweet with the handle @ysbreker. Mostly about CSS, HTML and the occasional bit of music that I like. [edit] I'm getting old. I already posted in here. Forgot that there are two pages now
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    Getting a bit nostalgic here. There are 5468 posts in this thread now. I started this thread almost 6 years ago and it's still going! I was thinking of compiling all the movies & shows mentioned in the thread into one big post. but that would require quite a bit of work. Maybe when I feel crazy I will still do this to celebrate the 5500'th post or it's 6th anniversary on the 27th of July.
  4. Mass Effect 3

    The multiplayer is quite entertaining actually. It's a very decent co-op shooter. The only thing lacking is variation in the scenarios. Just give it a try. It's really easy to boost your galactic readyness to 100% with just a few matches. Playing on Gold is really a challenge. Even when you've got 3 friends to play with and work together it's no guarantee for success. Which makes it all the better when you do manage to win a gold round Don't dismiss it out of hand because of the freemium stuff. You earn enough in game cash to get all the extra weapons & characters you'll need.

  6. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Not so much funny as incredibly fascinating: lxsw97NjBqo Which reminded me of this paper plane book I got as a boy, called paper flight: http://us.macmillan.com/paperflight/JackBotermans Which was the most awesome book ever! Get this book for your kids, they'll love it!

  9. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Back on topic:
  10. I can't watch that trailer: This video contains content from NBC Universal, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.
  11. The Dancing Thumb (aka: music recommendations)

  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    As Miffy said: he was great in Punch Drunk Love. Which is also a great movie or film.
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    I'm terribly sorry for that grammatical error, sir. That sentence should have read "They are a few of the many characters that make up the Gallager family". Perhaps "They are two of the many characters that make up the Gallager family" could have worked as well.
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    Speaking of awesome TV shows: WATCH SHAMELESS It's a very very very good remake of the UK show Shameless and stars William H. Macy as a deadbeat drunk dad and a very good Joan Cusack as an agoraphobic neighbor. They are one of the many characters that make up the Gallager family https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwzifUw9nKo

  16. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    I was there last summer! I walked around some of the places in that first video. Sadly I was a bit tired from the 2 weeks I had before (New York, Washington, Grand canyon, Las Vegas) so I didn't really get to enjoy San Fransisco as much as I wanted to. I did manage to meet up with Doug Tabacco & Metallus which was nice I'm gonna try to make up for it this year, though.
  17. Assassin's Creed: Mohawk

    I would so be all over this historical game! Imagine a game set in 17th century Amsterdam. Where you play a rich trader. buying/selling VOC stock. building up your trading empire. Sail in wood from Scandinavia, spices from Indonesia. Totally awesome. And educational!
  18. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    (via @chrisremo on the twitters) Not so much comical as rather cool: Some RC helicoper steadicam shots of San Fransisco: http://vimeo.com/28706477 And linked in the description a flyby of Venice Beach. Which reminds me how awesome that level was in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (I think, could also be 3) http://vimeo.com/34676743
  19. IDLE THUMBS KICKSTARTER!

    No need, he's flying over himself in about two weeks: https://twitter.com/#!/ysbreker/status/172433404854419457 https://twitter.com/#!/nickbreckon/status/172433734891614209 https://twitter.com/#!/ysbreker/status/172433715098693633 https://twitter.com/#!/nickbreckon/status/172433785839812608
  20. Breaking Bad

    The last season of breaking bad ratcheted the pressure up to insane levels and you just wait for the nuke to go of. The music in this last season has been superb in helping build up that pressure.
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    Aww :/ I was afraid they would do something like this
  22. Breaking Bad

    I don't know if they still all work, but you could try this: http://www.uitzendinggemist.nl/zoek/?q=breaking%20bad VPRO, a dutch TV company is airing Breaking Bad in the Netherlands. I think they're currently at season 3 now. So you can catch up and watch along on this site for free!

    I also just saw Hugo. Don't see this if you hate/don't like the colours orange & teal.
  24. Movie/TV recommendations

    I saw three movies this weekend: 1) The muppets Fun movie which captures the muppetshow perfectly. I especially liked how they played with the 4th wall. :tup: 2) The adventures of Tin Tin. Great looking 3D movie that really brings the comic to live. 3) Midnight in Paris. More entertaining than I expected. I like how there is no technical explanation for his :tup:
