  1. Shaving My Thumbs

    Do you normally only shave every two weeks or so? If so, that might be why you get through razors so quickly. I've been on the same blades with my bog-standard Gillette Mach 3 for about a year, but I shave every two to three days usually. If you want to let it grow out and only clear it occasionally, perhaps it would be better to get some electric trimmers? Either way, I wouldn't recommend sticking with disposable razors, they're a false economy.
  2. Cartoons!

    Ha, yeah, totally agree with you about that indiegogo, it looks a bit Treasure Planet. I probably wouldn't have linked it if it hadn't hit 300% in a few days, which I found interesting.

    Fuck, I thought that would get me to a new page. YES!
  4. Life

    That's my second simul-post!

    I just edited in a quote from the previous page to my post above, it was eeeasy! (Perhaps it's more difficult on mobile?) Have edited my post too.

    Then just edit in a quote! HEY EVERYONE, IF YOU CLICK ON THE BLUE STAR [edit: OR CIRCLE] TO THE LEFT OF THE TOPIC, IT TAKES YOU TO THE FIRST UNREAD POST! Just in case. EDIT:
  7. Who here likes video games?

    Please define "video games".

    Ah, I thought it might be something to do with how people open new threads. Why open by page rather than last unread, though? For a recap?

    But why is that any worse than posting a completely vapid and incredibly stupid post in the middle of a page? edit for SBM: oops, we simul-posted (also idgi)
  10. Post your face!

    It does. Welcome!

    Why is everyone so bothered when their posts happen to be at the start of a new page?
  12. Cartoons!

    indiegogo from a load of ex-disney animators for a (mostly) hand-animated short in order to get investors for a full-length feature. Has already got over 300% of its target, and it looks really nice if not particularly inspired.
  13. What is the Nadir of the Simpsons?

    I always think of that moment in the Binky the fish ep where Homer is leaving the plant late and shouts "Echo!" down the corridor. It's such a nice little character moment that later Simpsons would never take the time out for.
  14. Idlethumbs changed my life forever

    Clementine's iconic cap?

  16. Comics Extravaganza - Pow Bang Smash!

    I just bought this and am really enjoying it so far. Looks great, recognisably O'Malley storytelling but without the video game layer, occasionally a touch of Chris Ware too. Lovely!
  17. Happy Birthday!

  18. What is the Nadir of the Simpsons?

    Is this really true regarding the first eight seasons? I haven't gone through and counted or anything, but this feels like quite a heavy exaggeration...
  19. You know, because big hands. I think the hands match the overall style of the game. The world's visuals are not un-TF2-like...
  20. What is the Nadir of the Simpsons?

    Yeah, this. And actually, I haven't seen it in a while but I don't think I liked HGTC that much either, or many of the other 'parody episodes' (like "Cape Feare") - devoting an entire episode to parodying a single thing often doesn't work that well (it scuppered a few episodes of Spaced as well), whereas something like the Terminator 2 riff with Homer and his golf clubs is fantastic and totally fits into that episode's plot. I think I liked the Futurama college episode ("Robot Houuuuse!") a little better, but perhaps I'm muddling them up a bit. But hey, I really like The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson, so we may just have to agree to disagree on a few things...
  21. What is the Nadir of the Simpsons?

    I also can't come up with a nadir, as I stopped watching around season 10. I think the first episode I felt really disappointed by was The Springfield Files - just a big mess of zeitgeisting and pop-culture references, and homer is fat/stupid jokes. Since the end of season 8, I've been convinced that they could have saved the show by renaming it Springfield and not having to crowbar the Simpsons into every episode.
