  1. Feminism

    Mmmm, isn't that normally someone who addresses the side they're really against while pretending to be a concerned member of that side? This instance is someone (Tegan suspects) pretending to be a feminist attacking a third party.
  2. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    I didn't characterise him as selfish, I asked if his position on early Christmas threads was selfish. Boy, what a grinch!
  3. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    Definitely. Ah, so it's more of a selfish thing than a principled stand? Well, you don't need to come into the thread, then!
  4. Photos of things

    I like to think this captures the moment she realises she's lying in a big pile of dogshit.
  5. Feminism

    I think the tactic Tegan is suspecting might better be referred to as a false flag or sock-puppet or a false-flag-sock-puppet?
  6. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    So as long as I don't say it in the thread title it's okay to state that it's Christmas this early?
  7. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    Actually, I decided not to take your word for it, Badfinger, and went and checked: the first thing said in that Halloween thread was "it's Halloween". So I've changed my thread title back. IT'S CHRISTMAS EVERYONE WOOOO!
  8. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    There you go, fixed the thread title for you. I think the way to solve the Christmas music problem would be to get 100 different contemporary artists and groups (of, say, Radiohead level of quality) to make one legitimately good Xmas-themed song each, so we wouldn't hear the same three songs over and over again. That said, you can't argue with Wiz(z)ard:
  9. QUILTBAG Thread of Flagrant Homoeroticism

    It's definitely interesting. I'm not a huge DW buff, so my speculations may be inaccurate... Where have people been complaining about those things? Are they complaining because of QUILTBAG issues or Doctor Who continuity issues?
  10. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    Where were you lot when the Halloween thread got started six weeks early?
  11. Want to play classic arcade games for free?

    Brian Kuh is disappointed in you.
  12. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    Halloween is over, losers, it's Christmas for the next two months now.
  13. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Let's hope that's as egregious as it gets...
  14. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Can't help but be nervous about this - Reddit crowdfunding
  15. QUILTBAG Thread of Flagrant Homoeroticism

    Cartoon Network changes first gay kiss on lips to kiss on cheek
  16. Life

    Oh god, that beautiful moustache, whyyyy?
  17. Really good/older games found in 2nd hand shops

    I just picked up Knights Of The Old Republic for a quid, and No One Lives Forever for two quid. There are a bunch of charity shops here so I try to do a circuit for bargains regularly. I'll pick up a game if it's either not available online or notably cheaper than it's ever been online according to isthereanydeal.com. Unfortunately, I don't have space in my flat to keep boxes, so I've had to resist getting sweet old boxed copies of stuff like Last Express (I think this was before it was available online, and I'd never played it) because I can't bring myself to chuck the boxes away. Hopefully whoever got that game has it displayed on their mantlepiece. EDIT: my other good finds - Grim Fandango, The Dig, Escape From Monkey Island, Blade Runner, Discworld, Discworld Noir, No One lives Forever 2
  18. I am terrified by their ugly thread-title adjustments!
  19. Hey! Who changed the thread title?! *shakes fist*
  20. Games giveaway

    Hey SBM, can I have Serious Sam 3, please? I'd also be interested in Capsized if noooo one else is!
  21. HOWL O'WEEN (Halloween)

    He spoiled the film during a viewing of the film?! EXTREME SPOILERS!
  22. The weird thing is gorillas all look like people in RIck Baker gorilla costumes to me now.
  23. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    If so, wow that's a terrible metaphor.
