So is the only way to tell to get a new PSU and then if that doesn't work I'll know it's the motherboard? Or do the green LEDs suggest that it's unlikely to be the PSU?

Okay, this isn't complicated, but I'm a noob. My desktop PC suddenly isn't turning on. Shut it down fine last night, today it refuses to come on. The wall socket seems fine, and the power cable seems fine (plus we never go back there so can't see how it would have been damaged), so I'm guessing I need to replace the power supply. The only weird thing is that the little green lights inside the computer (that are always on when it's plugged in at the wall even if its not on) are still on, so there's some power going somewhere. Questions: Do the little lights still coming on mean it's likely to be something else? Does this guide look alright for me to follow? I've never been inside a PC before (my mate who lives in London built this one for me). I should probably be grounding myself lots as well, right?

Except funnier.

Are we allowed to keep talking about Rogue One in this thread? Alexandre Desplat is doing the score for it, not John Williams (who will be doing Eps 7-9). It's not his first time following Williams, as he scored Harry Potter 7. If he can get anywhere close to Canis Lupus then I'll be happy:

I was just listening to Idle Thumbs Episode 1: Let The Games Begin, and realised that Chris talked about his friend who only plays Elder Scrolls games in that episode too. I look forward to hearing about him again in Episode 401!

It lasts 90 days after release, backers will get it beforehand as well. I have no idea where it will be available to buy, though. I assumed Vimeo, is that not a thing they do?

I think Dan tweeted that the control scheme will be configurable. I don't mind it myself, though. Were you using the remote detonation tool? That's pretty easy to use, it gives you a fair bit of range...

That Pug's Life kickstarter got cancelled. Meanwhile, Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk's IndieGoGo campaign for a sitcom about a washed-up sci-fi actor on the convention circuit is doing really well.

Cara On Gaming (good because she's British, bad because it's a pun on a bawdy film franchise, rather than gaming or Thumbs)

Evans edited the first and co-edited the second Raid films, and the fight choreography was by Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian (the lead actor, and the guy who played Mad Dog in the first then Prakoso in the second). Those two actors will reportedly both appear in Ep 7, along with Cecep Arif Rahman, who was also in Raid 2.

When is this? I was planning to keep watching it until the point where Pendleton leaves. (I've finished whichever season it is that ends with the Lich two-parter, and am planning to get back into it once I've finished my Simpsons, Seinfeld and South Park run.)

As if I'd get anything wrong about the new Star Wars movies.

Dark Horse Digital have currently got a BPRD (the Hellboy spin-off series) bundle deal on - all the comics for $100. That's less than $1 per comic, apparently.

For some reason, the avclub didn't mention Rogue One's release date. So we now have: Dec 18th 2015 - Episode VII: The Force Awakens (dir/scr JJ Abrams, scr Lawrence Kasdan) Dec 16th 2016 - Rogue One (dir Gareth Edwards, story John Knoll, scr - so far - Gary "The Book Of Eli/The Walking Dead games" Whitta/Chris "About A Boy/Antz" Weitz) May 26th 2017 - Episode VIII (dir/scr Rian Johnson)

Good to hear Final Cut getting approval, as it's the version I recently bought on blu-ray but haven't had a chance to watch yet. He actually got Joanna Cassidy back in for a few shots to cover up some shoddy stunt work or something, like 25 years later, right?

If I'd known about the edit thing I would have been more sure of myself! I guess that "beg the question" incident has shaken my confidence in my nitpicking abilities

Oh, thank fuck for that. Well, I learnt something about edits today, and also SBM's cruel gaslighting tactics. Thanks, Didactic thread!

Are you pointing out that all edits can be seen, or copping to the fact that you did edit it (and it doesn't show up on older posts or something)? I need to know if it was all in my head or not!

Either you edited that just now or something's going wrong with my head, because I didn't see that when I responded originally, or when I quoted it this time (plus I don't remember deleting it out to quote you)...

No no no, I made that joke after your post!

Ooh, that's a complicated one. If I recall correctly: probably the Director's Cut (takes out the studio-added narration, adds the dream shots and maybe fiddles with the ending) or possibly the Final Cut (from a few years back, pretty much the same but with some continuity errors fixed and perhaps some subtle tinkering). There are probably a few people out there who will advise you to watch the theatrical cut, but I think that's a tiny minority, plus I think there's an assembly cut and maybe one that came between Director's and Final that I'm not familiar with.

That's some potty mouth your mother's got there, Lacabra.

Without dragging up the whole debate again (take it to the QUILTBAG thread!), have they decided on/thought about pronouns yet? I notice you're using "they", wondering if that was their choice... Either way, well done to them for coming out and you for supporting them. Hope it all goes well.

Not to bring the thread down, but do you think that guy actually killed a cat, or that he just makes this call to every missing pet poster he sees to upset people?
