  1. Aliens screening 28/02 London

    Yep, it's there. Looks like their online booknig system is currently down, and it can sometimes take a while to get them on the phone, but it is probably a good idea to buy in advance, I can imagine this selling out.

    I'm buying my ticket for this today, so all you bastards have to come now. It strikes me that more people will be willing to attend if there are drinks afterwards. So, I will also be in the pub from 8ish, venue tbc. People can come to both film and drinks, or one or the other (both is best, obv, especially as they serve booze at the cinema).
  3. Pub, London, this Friday.

    ALIENS SCREENING.
  4. Dan has now dropped the price to a less silly amount now, btw.
  5. Books, books, books...

    I think Brad Pitt is a good actor. He was great in Twelve Monkeys, Fight Club amongst others. Anyway, comics. I love Alan Moore, anything by him is well worth checking out (although he plays with the rules of the medium a lot, so he's perhaps not the best writer to start on). Evan Dorkin, Jhonen Vasquez, Chris Ware (especially "Jimmy Corrigan"), Frank Miller, "Maus", "Scott Pilgrim", "Y: The Last Man", "Bone".
  6. You really should reconsider, they're both great. Page 45 in Nottingham had plentiful stocks of Surfin' The Highway when the game was released and I still have my well-thumbed copy that I bought immediately after playing the game and seeing the excerpts of the comics in the manual.
  7. Limited Special Editions of BTDT and TGP now available!
  8. Pub, London, this Friday.

    Oops, sorry. Only found out where it was five minutes before I got there, then forgot to update the thread. Saw Nachimir though, which was cool. Nach, what are Alice's and Kerry's last names? Is Alice on these forums? I think she mentioned that at Show & Yell...

    Anyone going to this/know where drinks are happening this year?
  10. I think the Lambada has sailed on that one...
  11. No, don't bother. The answer is "Tim Schafer, he told journo Will Porter so."
  12. So, who else thinks my game is great?
  13. Duke Nukem Forever Canned [and then not]

    It's Invaders Must Die by The Prodigy. Why wouldn't they use the same track as another trailer? It's irritating that they can say "FUCKING" but not show a man's wee or a lady's bottom. If you have to blur it out, don't put it in the trailer, pussies.
  14. Well, it was more that mirayeka has stormed in without saying hello and is using the forums as a hint guide for my game. Don't know whether I should encourage that sort of thing. But then if I direct him/her to the Zombie Cow hints thread, it's stealing people from Thumbs. Well, perhaps I'm worrying too much. Mirayeka, here's a hint: And another:
  15. Life

    Apropos of nothing, I'm having a freakout right now.
  16. Ooooh awkward. What's the protocol on this one, mods?
  17. Aliens screening 28/02 London

    No, you're the definite. I'm being wildly optimistic with my bandings.
  18. Books, books, books...

    So, we're doing comics in this thread, right? I just read the Serenity/Firefly one that gives Book's backstory. A pretty slight one-shot, but the story would have been brilliant to watch unfold over ongoing Firefly seasons.
  19. Movie/TV recommendations

    Evidently I do. TP: Green Hornet is better than the adverts and Rodi suggest, but not by that much. Wait for it on telly.
  20. Aliens screening 28/02 London

    They've gone even more off-topic over at ZC Okay, so Thumbs-wise that's one 'definite' and three 'probably's, and so far every other member of the forum is a 'possibly'... Woo hoo!
  21. Aliens screening 28/02 London

    It's Alien3, TP. For making such a schoolboy error, you're going to have to come to the screening, I'm afraid.
