  1. The great Valve re-play

    EDIT: posted this before I saw Baconian's post. Covers similar ground. http://idlethumbs.net/forums/showthread.php?p=88585
  2. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Games. Video games. Video games. Video Games. Video games.
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    Dammit, that was my fault. I was posting from my phone and it was too much of a hassle to go back and check I'd remembered your opinion correctly. I think I'm one more enthusiastic about it than you, though.
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    Just saw Limitless and really enjoyed it, sorry TP! It reminded me of Wanted, in that it's a very enjoyable yet shallow post-Fight Club film. I didn't really care whether the drug is realistic, when the film was so fun and inventive and exciting. The trailer did mislead as to . Granted there's not much substance, and a shedload of loose threads there, though. It doesn't invite a rewatch.
  5. Movie/TV recommendations

    Basically, it's a poor man's Shanghai Knights.
  6. Movie/TV recommendations

    Unfortunately I have trouble these days remembering what it was I disliked about films Amy more than a month after seeing them. I think my problems with HOLMES were to do with an overly-slick CG Victorian London, two characters who are so far removed from the books and such a lack of detective work that they may as well have made it a new IP. Probably I found the story, dialogue and action/fight scenes sub-par too.
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    I'd just like to say that Splice is amazing and Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes was dreadful.
  8. Plug your shit

    Hey, a McCloud recommend, awesome! Well done and good luck, Kingz!
  9. Broken Sword II: Remastered

    Which one's the goat puzzle in? I think that's 2, isnt it? I read that Cecil is deffo all over fixing that one.
  10. Almost Human

    Mostly Human.
  11. Movie/TV recommendations

    EDIT: oh shit, I didn't realise the £25 ones were student-only. I think £35 to watch a film I might have already seen or not like in a potentially very uncomfortable/cold/impractical venue, plus look at some cosplayers, is a bit steep for me, I'm afraid.
  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    I think I read that Oswalt pitched a few ideas and Whedon picked one, and then consulted/finetuned a bit. What did you guys think of Idiocracy? I thought it was inspired in parts, but did a lot of telling instead of showing, and needed streamlining.
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    And there's another one that bridges the series with the film, Those Left Behind
  14. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Also, not as hot as Rebecca Black.
  15. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    You may be interested to know that the old Leisure Suit Larry games did something similar to verify the player's age: http://www.allowe.com/Larry/1questions.htm Yeah, those worked. I could never get past those (a lot of them I still can't).
  16. Life

    I assume that "of" is a typo for "on". Thanks TP, I will! Perhaps I'll borrow both copies and rub them together when I get to the sexy bits.
  17. Life

    Oooh, can I borrow?
  18. Life

    PREDATOR WOULD ONLY HAVE BEEN £6.50.

    Nice, thanks Tabacco.
  20. Aliens screening 28/02 London

    If no one wants to see the film, but two or more people are around for drinks, I'll probably go see the film on my own.
  21. Aliens screening 28/02 London

    The Price Charles is playing Predator this Saturday afternoon (3ish). Not sure I can be bothered with a solo trip, but if anyone fancies going to see it, I'm up for it. (Again, drinkies from 5ish without having come to the film is also an option.)
  22. Back to the Future

    Ha, that could be a drinking game: "You're George McFly!" "That's right, he's going to be mayor!"
  23. Movie/TV recommendations

    I succeeded where you failed.
  24. Back to the Future

    Claudia Wells is playing Jennifer?! Brillo, she was always my preferred Jennifer. Nice to see/hear her acting again.

    TP, you need to delete some messages, mine's not getting through to you.
