  1. jobs... why arent there any?

    Rasczak according to IMDB.
  2. jobs... why arent there any?

    Didn't they have that in the movie too, up until near the end at least?
  3. Double Fine: News sometime this month!

    They tend to spoil things.
  4. Movie/TV recommendations

    http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/watchmen/ I saw the new trailer in the cinema yesterday. Gave me goosebumps. I can't help but be excited about this movie now... The use of music in that trailer is really clever. The Koyaanisqatsi soundtrack fades into Muse's Take a Bow. I noticed the similarities back when I first heard that song.

    Man, Schafer doesn't need the IP. When Brutal Legend is out, he'll dig into that imagination of his and do something new.
  6. What, Pipedream Cream didn't get a point? Great episode, guys. The last one too, which I only heard yesterday.
  7. sexy failures

    Obviously you are simply intimidated by smart women.
  8. 24" HD 1080p for under £200

    You should maybe re-read Cigol's post I wish I could see that... I've seen an HD version of Blade Runner, but not BD quality and not on a good Full HD screen.
  9. Braid

    I still haven't played it :/
  10. Braid

    Yup, especially after this review
  11. Plain Sight

    OMG they have Mumin on the front page I signed up, using my Thumb nick. I have a feeling it's not going to work on my laptop, but who knows...
  12. PC Geeks only. [Empire: Total War thread]

    I'll hodge podge you!
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah, and for a long time I considered that to be a tacky idea that seemed cool at the time but wouldn't actually be popularized. Now look at Second Life...
  14. A lovely christmas story!

    KING ALFRED IS DEAD Oh wow.
  15. A lovely christmas story!

    You'll learn your place, noob. Nah, I get what you mean, but I don't think there's a journalist on this earth that would've left that stuff out. I understand keeping news neutral, but don't make them dry for the sake of it.
  16. A lovely christmas story!

    Well, if the security guy who quit specifically mentioned that family as the reason, I can't see why BBC should've cut it from the story.
  17. Movie/TV recommendations

    The ninja pizza delivery stuff... Snow Crash is, to a point, not wholly, satire. You're not supposed to take CosaNostra Pizza seriously.
  18. Fallout 3

    The whole film is cheesy as hell, but it's also a classic Some of the best one-liners in cinema history.
  19. Movie/TV recommendations

    The Diamond Age is definitely better, and yeah it's something you should read.
  20. This is my favourite song of all time

    They had those in Finland too. I think the subjects were space and the human body. Don't you love how Man evolves from an ape to a white man? I'd have thought the proto-humans in Africa would have some pigment on them...
  21. Movie/TV recommendations

    I'd like to see Snow Crash. There's a lot in it that really wouldn't translate, but the world run by franchises would be great to see. I ran into this: http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=0&id=39447 Clooney is producing a six hour miniseries of The Diamond Age!
  22. How should I connect my Xbox 360 to a HD monitor?

    Yup, if your Xbox doesn't output a digital signal, VGA is the only reasonable way to go. If you get one that does at some point, DVI or HDMI, there's no difference (DVI doesn't have sound of course).

  24. Kinetic typography in games

    You should've turned off when a woman got pregnant and the baby was born a few minutes later and died of old age, the size of a grown man, some hours later. Where did that mass come from... If you didn't turn off then, mathematical equations marked down as notes is a-ok.
  25. Kinetic typography in games

    The new series Fringe does something interesting with this. Whenever they show an outside shot of a location, they have a big chrome 3D model of the locations name seamlessly integrated in the scene like any CGI object. I'm sort of like it. It's fresh in any case. I think the Doom movie had a wireframe first person shooter sequence in the end credits with the credits being shot and blown apart. I liked that. But then again, I kind of like the movie and it's not exactly good
