  1. Bargains

    I don't understand the question.
  2. Bargains

    Hey, play.com have got the Sherlock Holmes movie on DVD for only £2.99 (rrp £15.99)! Don't know how long it'll stay there for...
  3. General Video Game Deals Thread

    I thought we could be dicks on this forum without people thinking we mean it..? Anyway, although my thread was a general, persistent thread about bargains, encompassing non-game stuff, it did descend into Steam deals and nothing else and it was in Idle Banter. Perhaps that can be the non-games bargain thread, and this one be games-only...

  5. My little project

    Dude, just write the first chapter and post it. Then nominate someone from the pool of volunteers to write the next one, and continue like that. Either stipulate approximately how many chapters we're aiming for, or see how long it can keep going. Don't worry about pre-planning it any more than that, just let it happen. EDIT: although 'Balthazar' is a brillo suggestion, obv.

    That's 'mammoth, sloth and sabre-toothed tiger'. I hope your attention to detail will be sharper in your writing...
  7. (IGN.com)

    http://twitter.com/igndotcom and this website just got a namedrop in the newsletter from Page 45, a Nottingham comic shop (previously mentioned somewhere on here, I think), after they received a letter from one David Hayward. Seems IGN's comicbook reviews are just as infamous!

    Can't be arsed to PM. I can only write in British English, and I'm especially good at all types of segment.
  9. My little project

    Well, I'm totally up for an Idle Thumbs novella where everyone writes a 1-3 page (250 words per page?) chapter, making it up as we go.
  10. Life

    Pictures, please.
  11. Nice one, thanks Miff! We're up against Tales of MI and Machinarium this year, though, so I don't think we'll win it for a second year!
  12. Movie/TV recommendations

    For me, Time Bandits came close in places, and Baron Munchausen even more so.
  13. Thanks! I think the emoticons relate to age-rating. It deffo did something if you got the window asking if you're sure then it moved onto the next page. Please do vote every day if you can be arsed - jayisgames encourages it, so it's not cheating!
  14. Movie/TV recommendations

    I greatly enjoyed Avatar, although I won't bother watching it on DVD, I shouldn't think. Sherlock Holmes, however, was rubbish. Infantile and boring; Shanghai Knights with all the fun and invention sapped out.
  15. Hello everyone! Sorry for the spam, but if you enjoyed TGP can you please go to http://bit.ly/4Vd6EO and vote for it once a day until it wins jayisgames' Adventure Of '09, please! (One-click only.) If Cakemania The Adventure wins, I'll scream.
  16. My little project

    How many words to a page?
  17. Movie/TV recommendations

    I'll second BoF and NatO. You're the projectionist, right? How is it going with the old prints?
  18. Want to escape current party but fancy a couple more...
  19. You're a cock-tease, TP! Thankfully, the cunt left 2 mins after you called, so everyone's happy!
  20. Let me know! I'm buying (the 1st one)! Do you still have my number?
  21. So can we have UKcast 1 now, pleeeeeease?
  22. I will be out for drinks in Nottingham on Saturday, probably reliving old times by going to the Yellow Pub, then Rock City. Who's with me?!
  23. FAO: Nachimir/Nottinghamians

    Heh, we actually didn't bother with Rock City in the end. We were a bit knackered, and decided to save it for another day. So we went home and watched Ben Mills on youtube
