  1. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    This reminds me (and probably Synth) of Evan Dorkin's Fisher Price Theatre: Also, you should all go read Kyle Baker's The Cowboy Wally Show for his interpretation of Hamlet, it's genius. Even you, Kingz. It doesn't shit on anyone, promise.
  2. The threat of Big Dog

    Do you have to mop the robot's brow?
  3. The threat of Big Dog

    Ah! The thing that confused me about your post is that it will presumably still need a human operator when it starts doing surgery on humans.
  4. The threat of Big Dog

    Sorry to ruin the magic, Nach, but I think the guy in the grey booth just next to it is operating it. Would you like me to explain the ending of The Wizard Of Oz for you?
  5. Johann Sebastian Joust

    Sadly, no evidence of this on their Flickr album.
  6. STEAM hacked

    I can't even find the 'forgotten your password?' button.
  7. General Video Game Deals Thread

    *pant gasp* HEY EVERYONE, I GOT HERE AS QUICK AS I COULD, TO BE THE FIRST ONE TO PLUG MY SHIT BEING IN THE NEW INDIE ROY... Dammit.
  8. Random Ramblings

    AG's rating system is a bitch for Metacritic as well.
  9. Other podcasts

    Yeah, I'm my own man! (You should all listen to it, though.)
  10. V The Elder Scrolls

    Won't watching someone else play it for 12 hours ruin a lot of it for you if you're planning on buying it yourself, Erkki? Or have I misunderstood what the GB guys will be doing?
  11. (IGN.com)

    Ew.
  12. Nottingham Game City

    Size Five trying to organise a meet-up in Nottm for the Game City thing in October: http://www.sizefivegames.com/forum/index.php?topic=4084 Anyone fancy it?
  13. Nottingham Game City

    This was hilariously accurate last night. Every time I saw Nach, he was legging it past me with an apologetic can't-stop look on his face. Hopefully I'll get to say hello at some point today, Nach! Remember #indievisibility drinks are happening at two, probably at The Malt Cross Tavern now.

  15. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    I don't see a child eating the cow? Maybe it is sneaking up behind the cow to eat it as revenge for the theft of its small plastic vehicle?
  16. General Video Game Deals Thread

    Now a fiver there and Steam.

    Don't worry, miffy, I got it.
  18. Plug your shit

  19. Plug your shit

    Got an RPS item with a write-up to follow! Are these all KnP, then? In which case, presumably I won't be able to run most of them in 64bit Windows?
  20. Movie/TV recommendations

    I don't seem to be able to log in anywhere on that site. Am I being dense? Gwardinen, The Prince Charles in London is playing Troll Hunter at least until Thursday. Not sure where you're located but, as F4T C4T says, if London is no good for you, it will hopefully also still be in indie cinemas around the country.
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    It's coming out on DVD here in January, apparently. In worse news, play.com no longer has the 'US' button that lets UK customers buy Region 1 DVDs for regular prices.
  22. Life

    So you're taking my advice?
  23. General Video Game Deals Thread

    This might overlap with previously mentioned GTA deals, but: all GTA games for £8.74 on gamersgate.
  24. Movie/TV recommendations

    Saw Lars Von Trier's Melancholia last night. If you're up for a slow, semi-depressing (but not on the level of Dancer In The Dark or Dogville) film, this is great. Strong performances and a great mix of Von Trier's Dogme '95 style with more polish.
  25. Life

    It was question marks?
