I have no real beef with Quicktime. Out of Windows Media Player, and Real Player, it's definitely the better of the three. I just don't like being forced to use it because, while I'm using Ubuntu, I can't. Here you go, Kingz.

But I believe Kingz's specialty is hostile acquisitions and he doesn't seem to really be working for the Thumb anymore.

cremo :pwned: It was pretty good, though Chris with Spaff and Marek would have been even better. Maybe the thumbcast should get Yufster to join in to create a trio like Played. She never seems to be out of interesting things to say.

hmmmm... I'd love to check it out, but it appears their crap site requires you to have quicktime in order to listen to it. [edit]here's a direct link

um, without a source I'd say that that is almost certainly false. Especially considering the game only requires 6 gigs of hard drive space. Dreamfall is on one dvd and I think it takes up at least 9.

Yeah, Thank You For Smoking was the funniest movie I've seen in ages.

"Foutaises"

That robot thing at the beginning of the first short somehow reminds me of the robot in FLCL.

So no one else has to go digging for it... hot :tup: Now let's hear Kingz's story about meeting Tim.

asshole (Thanks for hosting my crap site that hasn't been updated in ages.)

I just watched Delicatessen, and it was exceptional. Better than City of Lost Children, but, naturally, not as good as Amelie. It makes no sense why it hadn't released in the US on dvd before this May.

I wonder how much smaller it'd be if they had made it available through Steam re-using the Source engine that's already on most people's computers.

Ron finally updated his blog a couple weeks back. I'm really looking forward to the third season, but I couldn't help but mutter "ah, shit" when I got to this bit, "Her episode this year is 'The Passage' (originally Ep 9) and deals with a harrowing voyage of the rag-tag fleet and focuses on Kat." Kat is without question the absolute worst character on the show, and yet Ron seems to love her. It makes no sense. She's irritating beyond belief and Scar was pure shit. There better not be another Scar this season. Oh yeah, and nice avatar, Redwall. I wonder if he's going to get a cool pirate eye-patch.

Yeah, I was going to ask about that. I read that it was supposed to be good, but I wasn't particularly crazy about the first episode. Anyone watched Jam? The first episode was bizarre, to say the least. It's funny, the thing that struck me the most when I watched the first episode of Father Ted was a painting that was hanging on one of the walls. It was of a girl in a red cape, she looks a little like an oriental little red riding hood, holding a flower. Nothing special, but my brother bought the exact same painting at a garage sale last summer and currently has it hanging up in his apartment above his desk. Weird. It's not a well known painting or anything, is it?

Ha! The first episode of Black Book is fantastic. I also just watched the first episode of Nathan Barley. I accidentally watched the second episode first last night, and didn't think it was all that great. But, having seen the first episode now, I think I'll watch the rest of the show. Quite funny.

Has anyone here watched Monster? I hear that it's supposed to be quite good, but I'm having a bit of trouble getting through it. I think I'm around episode 20 currently. It's interesting and all, but why does it have to be dragged out for 74 episodes. I hear that a couple of movies based on it are in the works and they're being written by the guy who wrote the script for A History of Violence. That sounds quite promising. I think a distilled version of the story would be quite nice.

I just watched the first episodes of The IT Crowd and Brass Eye. Both appear to be quite awesome. Could you guys recommend any other great British comedies?

I finished HL2: Episode One last night and as the credits were scrolling by one name jumped out at me -- Erik Wolpaw. Does anyone know if he has left Double Fine to work for Vavle? Shame if he has. Not that Valve wouldn't make use of his talents, but certainly not to the same extent as Double Fine. Half-Life has solid writing and all, but there's no comparison when it comes to something like Psychonauts or Grim (yes, I know he didn't work on it).

Yeah, I thought it was exceedingly boring as well. Also, the plot was largely uninteresting and unfunny (wouldn't have been an issue if it hadn't supposed to be). But, I'm glad you, and most everyone else, really enjoy it. I guess it's just not my cup of tea.

Someone has to keep track of his birthday, I suppose.

I just watched the first couple of episodes of The 4400 because I'd never seen it before and I wanted to be able to justly say that it sucks. To my complete surprise, it ended up not sucking. I'm still a bit skeptical as to whether or not the show can keep it up though. Has anyone here watched the second season? How is it?

So I hear, but I didn't have nearly as much fun playing it as I'm currently having with the sequel.

I'm currently playing Half-Life 2, though I never finished the original. I stopped playing it about a month back right when I got to the Lambda Core and never got around to playing it again. I just started playing HL2 for my first time a couple days ago, and I must say that I'm really enjoying it. I just got to Nova Prospekt, and so far it's been far more entertaining for me than the original. I'm pretty sure that I'll even finish it. The graphics are simply stunning. I love Europe, and they've captured the Eastern European look perfectly. A couple bits have dragged on a bit longer than I'd have liked, but that's far overshadowed by the amazing bits like when you break into the prison with the antlions. That was a blast. I'm also playing The Feeble Files again, with many thanks to the scummvm team. If you've never played it, you should definitely check it out. It's truly an unacknowledged gem of the adventure genre. It's also good counterpoint to HL2. Whenever I get bored of running around blowing things up, I can switch over for some slow paced, quality adventuring.

Anyone seen it? Does it suck, as I suspect it might? How is it with regards to Monkey Island? I'll probably see it one of these days, but I'm by no means going to run out to see it thus contributing to the sinful amounts of money it's currently pulling in. I had actually hoped to see A Scanner Darkly this weekend, but it was released in like ten theaters nation wide. Oh well, I'll be able to see it on the 14th in Ann Arbor at least, and I can't wait. A Scanner Darkly, Snakes on a Plane, and Little Miss Sunshine are the only summer movies that really interest me.
