  1. Yeah, I thought you'd get that with the Lebowski reference! Unfortunately, she's smart enough to have all her privacy settings on except for her likes (does FB allow those to be private?). I didn't say I wanted to date her, just be good friends. I'm not some kind of creepy weirdo! Do you think Mington is really trying to date Olly and J?
  2. Plug your shit

    Great stuff! I like the kid in the Lobo outfit, and did I see a Finn hat as well? I was wondering if the snooty kid all in black was a reference to something... Also, is the sculptor in part 5 a self-portrait?
  3. Ha, that's excellent! Not sure I'd be able to blag my way through a Katy Perry conversation, however...
  4. It'll need at least one of them to be Iron Man good. If they're all Hitman or DooM good, I'd guess things will stay the same.
  5. Beyond Good and Evil 2

    You mean "proverbial sequel"?
  6. Awful Day-Ruining Bugs

    I just looked up Inbox Zero, and if this is representative: then it's pretty much common sense; that's just instinctively how I handle email anyway, except my inbox acts as my "requires response" folder (and I therefore save valuable seconds over his method!).
  7. Help me become good friends with SyntheticGerbil's sister I see she likes The Big Lebowski, perhaps I could use that as an "in"?
  8. Movie/TV recommendations

    Just saw Guardians Of The Galaxy, and I'd say the whole film is like that. A big mess of bluster and noise, that thinks saying "a-hole" is the height of hilarity, with far far too many characters and far far too little characterisation.
  9. Ha, good job I'm in Hufflepuff, then! Yeah, I was hoping there wouldn't be any need for quendams and esses. Hmmm, what's Latin for "baboo"?
  10. How about "If a woman thinks something is sexist, then it is"?
  11. I knew you'd be over to correct Google's translation! So, are there any cool actual Latin phrases that Baron could use? Ones that Latin scholars would get a kick out of if they saw?
  12. Feminism

    There's something about #orangeroom too, but I have no idea what that is.
  13. Feminism

    Violence is not the way forward, David. You should travel back there, pick him up, and drop him off in the Cretaceous period. Let God sort him out. Because I was lazy earlier in my hashtag mention, here are a couple of things that seem to be getting some attention: http://iwantedwings.wordpress.com/2014/07/21/a-response-to-women-against-feminism/ http://kristalgarcia.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/how-i-went-from-a-feminist-to-a-honey-badger/
  14. Feminism

    Seems #womenagainstfeminism is blowing up today
  15. The Fanart Collective

    Shameless inclusion of Dan and Ben fan art:
  16. Feminism

    10 PRINT Yes, both sides are important, which means the objective side is important too 20 PRINT Yes, both sides are important, which means the subjective side is important too 30 GOTO 10
  17. Breaking Bad

    Also, Secret Asian Man, the first season is definitely a little slower than the rest. It picks up pretty much straight away from the start of S2.
  18. How about "ORBIS NON SUFFICIT"? edit: or "VENIT HIEMS"
  19. QUILTBAG Thread of Flagrant Homoeroticism

    I doubt Kim had much personal involvement with the design of this game! Whether she did or not, though, it's cool that the game is progressive (for gaming) and mainstream and successful.
  20. Screenshots. Shots of your screen.

    It's been mentioned a handful of times around the place, but not on this thread, so I thought I'd link Dead End Thrills, for shots of someone else's screen, once they've fiddled with FOV etc and got rid of GUI.
  21. Plug your shit

    I tried to branch it out as much as possible so that it wouldn't take long to get to a new choice, and it's not that big, so you possibly played a fair bit of it. It is an inherent issue with the 'often-ending' thing that came out of its GDC Journal origins. I could plausibly do a different version where there are fewer deaths and it's more linear/inter-linked so the player is likely to catch more of the writing, and/or perhaps a "quick-load" for all deaths. If you haven't found yourself in the middle of some Big fan-fic, though, you definitely haven't replayed enough!
  22. Plug your shit

    Ha ha! It has become obvious to me that I can't highlight enough the fact that the player is supposed to die regularly, and restart then go in different directions. A lot of people die once then give up. If Twine weren't so quirky, I'd automate the restart...
  23. Plug your shit

    Ahem, did anyone get a chance to play that Twine game?
  24. NEW IDEA: Mington, you could sue Olly for copying all his artwork off you. Then once he's aware of you, magnanimously drop the lawsuit and offer to buy him a drink.
  25. Movie/TV recommendations

    Tremors is a fantastic movie, obv, and I also enjoyed the first two sequels. I thought they were solid fun, and they continued the feel of the first movie well. Tremors 4 was a fun idea but a bit clumsy and under-budgeted. I haven't watched the series, but Dan watched the 2nd episode and said that one at least was very enjoyable.
