Ben X

Some people are even posting about the movie in the game thread. The moderation on these forums is a JOKE.

Cannon Fodder Boot Hill Theme -

Okay, the patched version is up! See here: http://www.zombie-cow.com/?p=886 for details of the patch and (short-term) offers of free games to anyone who emails Dan with useful crash/bug/performance issues.

There's some optimisation going on, yeah. No idea about the XNA thing, I think someone did mention C# at some point...

It's out! They're working on a patch, though, so it might be a good idea to wait a couple of days. Will let you know when they've uploaded it...

I was surprised by the sheer overall amount of characters in it. I wonder if the film will reflect that.

Late to the party: Hermie, I can't help but notice that you seem to be a 'sound man'.

No. No better movies than Labyrinth. Went to see Inception instead, was very good, interesting, gripping, but so much explanation of rules throughout that it was hard not to feel distanced from it. That almost works with the themes, though... Princess And The Frog was on a kiddy matinee. Very nicely presented, lots of lovely detail, acting, animation. But the story was very loose and quite weak.

Labyrinth, 1530 today at the Prince Charles today! PM me if you fancy David Bowie's balls and a few beers...

Rodi, that's The Dream Team, starring Michael Keaton and Christopher Lloyd. Peter Boyle ends up naked in a church.

So, Greenberg was quite good. Lots of good performances, but it was all just rather understated and inconsequential. A bit like About Schmidt. Lead actress is really good, and HOT in a completely normal-looking, natural way. Very refreshing, that. Brothers Bloom was fun, not quite as powerful as Brick. Very meandering for a con flick. Kind of unraveled in the second half, but enjoyable all the way through. Bad Lieutenant was hilariously batshit crazy. Deffo the one I'd recommend of the three.

Well, I'm not sure what Marek's long con is, because my bag was handed into New Scotland Yard, and I got it back today. Seems I didn't leave it in the pub, but actually fell asleep in a flowerbed and left it there when moving to a more comfortable flowerbed. I think my plan to get Nachimir drunk backfired...

My schedule today: Greenberg at the Cineworld Haymarket, 12:30 Brothers Bloom at PCC 15:40 Bad Lieutenant New Orleans at PCC 1830 Anyone fancy any of that? (You will have to hate sun and football.)

Or is that just your cover for having snuck in and stolen my bag, MAREK?

Did anyone pick up my black Nike rucksack? I thought I left it in the pub, but they don't have it...

I am here with Scrobbs and Nachimir and one of the Eufloria guys!

It is upstairs! I have just arrived but can't see anyone I know. Kieron Gillen's here, I met him once...

I'm totally gonna get you drunk, Nachimir. So, I'll see you all there. I'll be wearing a blue Munsters tee, and I'll have my phone so post here or PM me if you need to for any reason. Woooo payday drinks!

Ha ha, I'd forgotten the emo bit!

Totally, although Zoidberg works where Amy and Hermes don't. I always thought that The Simpsons should have become Springfield after about season 7.

In fact, I have a legitimate (if not diagnosed or medically recognised) problem with remembering faces. Several people dislike me because they think I'm pretending not to remember them... EDIT: Wait, I remember you perfectly now, Nach, I met you in the yellow pub.

Is Tempe, Arizona on the way? If so, go to the Big Bang duelling piano bar, ask for Big Ben and tell 'em Little Ben sent you.

Remind me of the exact circumstances and details of our meeting. I have trouble linking handles to faces...

I was just coming here to post that! I'll be there, I believe Dan 'zombie cow' Marshall, Ryan 'joe danger' Thing.and Will 'eurogamer' Porter will be there too, amongst others.
