  1. Movie/TV recommendations

    The last few days I saw quite a lot of movies: The prestige: decent movie by Mr Nolan. very nice to spot all the neat references to how the big trick in the movie works. Also perfect acting and camera work Like you expect from these big names. :tup: and a half The Illusionist: Bit boring version of the prestige if you ask me. But the story didn't really attract me somehow. :tup: and a half The devil wears Prada: Nice little 'growing-up-realizing what-you-want-to-do-in-your-life' movie. Cute lead actress working for a supernasty boss (Great acting by Meryll Streep!) For the rest pretty much a by the numbers affair. :tup: The science of sleep: Might be even better than eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Great dream sequences. A very nice fragile kind of love story. 5 out of 5 Syriana: This was a verrry impressive movie. Make more of this quality work Hollywood! 5 out of 5 Next up are Borat, Volver, babel and The last king of Scotland. [edit] Anyone seen Hot Fuzz yet? And does anyome happen to know the european release date for it?

  3. Where did you get all those animated gifs from those webcomics from, tanukitsune? Oh and:
  4. So what's Crackdown like?

    Eurogamer seems to like it rather much too: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=72858 Time for a proper TV and a 360 I think... What with viva pinata and gears of war and crackdown being games I'd rather like to play

  6. Finally upgraded Windows

    For the love of god please don't get vista! Read these two articles and I hope you're convinced you don't want vista either: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2007/02/drm_in_windows.html http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/pubs/vista_cost.html

  8. Supreme Commander demo out now!

    Urgh. I only switched to linux this very weekend. Have to boot into XP just to play this :/ Is it worth to reboot my pc just for this demo?
  9. Videogame journalism!!

    Bit of a bog standard email interview if you ask me. Filled in by copy & pasting standard press material by one of the PR interns of pandemic.
  10. That Boston bomb farce

    Those guys deserve a medal for exposing those journo's for the fucktards that they are. Best reaction to any 'press conference' ever! Much more classy than the boring 'no comment' stuff.

  14. Sixaxis controller wins emmy... what?

    [crosspost] Hah! Sony didn't win the award for their SIXAXIS, they got the award for their dual shock analog controller: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=71647 Sony 'accidently' sent out a wrong press release... I can't wait for the UK:R update! [/crosspost] Horribly late as usual, but still nice to have more than one source confirming the Sony lies
  15. Alright, but don't let me see you do it again, young man!
  16. Movie/TV recommendations

    OMG. I just saw the trailer for the grind house. I can't wait! Btw, the image links to zudeo, a rather nifty extension of bittorrent if you ask me. I've seen some interesting HD trailers and content thanks to that site/program hybrid. Worth browsing around in.
  17. Sorry to go completely offtopic and excuse me if you honestly didn't know the diffirence between the two but this has me bugging for quite some time: What is it with people and mistyping/spelling hole as whole? Whole 1. comprising the full quantity, amount, extent, number, etc., without diminution or exception; entire, full, or total: He ate the whole pie. They ran the whole distance. 2. containing all the elements properly belonging; complete: We have a whole set of antique china. 3. undivided; in one piece: to swallow a thing whole. Hole 1. an opening through something; gap; aperture: a hole in the roof; a hole in my sock. 2. a hollow place in a solid body or mass; a cavity: a hole in the ground. 3. the excavated habitation of an animal; burrow. So when you mean something comprising the full quantity of something use whole. If you describe an opening thorugh something; gap; aperture, use hole One letter less and it makes all the difference. A leaking roof or not, for example.
  18. Let's all celebrate with new avatars!

  21. Wii number exchange
