Ben X

I haven't watched those clips, but I think a long-take with lots of CG help can still be impressive for its choreography and pacing and being something so authored without destabilising the movie. But yeah, I know what you mean, even the Children Of Men stuff isn't the same as Touch Of Evil or The Player or Boogie Nights, once you know a lot of it wasn't in-camera or was stitched together.

"Puffins!"

I'm not Claire.

Pacific Rim - terrible script, accents; amazing everything else, definitely worth watching on the big screen in 3D. Otherwise, not so much. The World's End - great start, gets a bit unimaginative and clumsy in the second half. However, I didn't appreciate the first two Cornetto films until the second viewings so hopefully I'll love it in a year or so.

Sweet. We had a load of crazy-loud thunder through the night in Cambridge.

Well, I'd say you may as well watch The Lodger as I remember it being pretty good, but not Vincent as I thought it was massively over-rated. I don't think it's a joke guide. The JESUS MARY JOSEPH note is for an infamously dreadful episode. And fapping because internet nerds.

That guide is spot on, Toblix, although I disagree on Vincent and the Lodger (perhaps he got his colours mixed up?).

Toblix needs to bring his disclaimer sig back!

You wants super-vague, you gets super-vague! Let me know if you want to downgrade to mega-vague.

Just to confirm: yes, yes we do have gals here.

(Spoilers for others, these are safe for you if you want vague hints, Rodi.) 1) Have you already ? If so, I don't think you need to 2) If you mean what I think you mean, you're on the infamous awful puzzle of Monkey Island 2 that Ron Gilbert still gets teased about to this day. Have you heard of it? If not, think less about how to cross the river and more about

I didn't get an email regarding the Vice City flash sale, so I deffo can't rely on email notifications...

That totally counts. Still have that album on imported CD. Classic retro music probably touched on in those Amiga comps: IK+, Lotus Turbo Challenge 2, Cannon Fodder, Another World, Flashback.

No hints unless specifically asked for! It's too much of a temptation!

Or, like 8 copies of Ben There, Dan That! and 8 copies of Time Gentlemen, Please!

Thanks, but the email notifications are borked by all accounts and IFTTT seems way too complicated. I'll just have to carry on with the third option: check every 7 hours or so!

Turns out Toblix has done this already, just saw his tweet to Dan. He was having trouble figuring out that to open a door you need to "USE DOOR".

Ahem, spoiler. Toblix, vague directional hint:

Is there a good site keeping tally of every daily and flash sale so far? I'm keeping an eye on a couple of games (Quake and Dark Messiah) and want to check I haven't missed them already!

Wrong movie!

Which is the one? I've heard that's amazing, though I didn't get to it myself.

Thanks Noyb, I'd not found all of those. clyde, yeah it has to do with displaying passages (plus a variable), and potentially looping back to the same passage. I might send it to you if I can't figure it out! Thanks all!

Cool, thanks dude. I got it the wrong way round, though. think I like the idea of Jonah more, as you get to see your story unfold on the page, but my ands/elses solution only works in Sugarcane. How the fuck does that make sense?!

Well, I haven't spent too much time on it and I've managed to figure one thing out, which involved a load of ifs and elses - most of the issues seemed to be how many spaces I was putting between commands. Although for some reason it only works in Sugarcane, not Jonah. I was also getting some problems with choices but I think I'll avoid those for now, especially as iirc they apparently only work in one of the styles. And I thiiiink I was having trouble getting rid of the passage titles, can't remember!

Haven't seen (and hadn't even heard of) Snuff Box. The Mighty Boosh is quite different to Spaced and the quality is massively variable but there's a good chance you'll like it! Possibly not as easy to watch a few of in a row as the other stuff.
