  1. Movie/TV recommendations

    Just been to see Clash of the Titans... PANTS Save your money and watch it on Skymovies in a few months....it ain't worth it imho. I saw it in 3D, the characters are strictly 2, maybe even 0.5 dimensional.
  2. Movie/TV recommendations

    I agree mostly Nicholololas. It's definitely more of the same. I have seen only the first two episodes (screened in the first showing in the UK). I like it for sure and it will be good to highlight what happened in that theatre of war, which is perhaps relatively unknown over here in comparison to the European arena. I found it a bit predictable I think. It was no surprise that they made a thing of mowing down Japanese soldiers. It could improve by showing the human side of the Japanese infantryman in my opinion, but it may still do that I suppose. I'm a sucker for stuff like this though I have to say. The fellas who fought in the world wars have my upmost respect and gratitude. Thus whenever anything like this is on I am compelled to watch 6/10 so far, maybe it will improve a bit.
  3. Street Fighter IV

    Man, I'm old enough to remember SF1 being released and coming to my local arcade (in 1987 I was 9...I lived in a seaside resort in which the arcade was the only form of entertainment for anyone. Ever.) I played that game HEAPS, so much so I got several huge blisters on the palm of my left hand from wiggling the stick to get a fireball A good few years later, I really got into Killer Instinct in the arcade....THAT was a great game; Jago was my fave

    Looking forward to Pacific. On in 40 mins. It looks great.

  7. It came from his mahooosive personal library...
  8. Books, books, books...

    BRISTOL is the best University in the country BAR NONE I study Medicine at Bristol and did a BSc in Physiology before that, which entailed some work in the School of Biological Sciences (SOBS) The SOBS at Bristol is world renowned partially for their considerable involvement in whatever David Attenborough does. I'm not sure what you are looking to do but you could do a lot worse than Bristol for anything Selfish Gene related I would also second what Patters said about league tables and choosing a university because having a degree from there would be 'cool' in America. University is just as much (?more) about growing into an adult and as a person as it is an education. If you go to Oxford or Cambridge (I have friends who have been there) you must expect to work like a bitch for your degree which while sounding great probably makes very little real difference over and above a degree from any one of the Russel group of Uni's. Ahhh to be 17 again Bristol ftw
  9. Battlethumbs: Idle Company

    YEAH! Good games guys! I'm loving this game right now. I reckon we have enough to take over a whole server if we were all online at once I think we should have a bash at squad deathmatch if we can find a server; let some hilarious Thumb on Thumb action take place Good games. Good games.
  10. Interesting stuff that might get you laid.

    Your shoulder is more of a ball and shallow cup affair. Your hip is a ball and socket joint. PEDANT OUT.
  11. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    Amen to that brother.
  12. Any German kindly speakers in the house?

    The magic of Thumbs
  13. "Touch for the win"

  14. "Touch for the win"

    Does that enhance online experiences....
  15. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    This dude sounds like Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters...are you the gatekeeper?
  16. Plus he'd be "too old fo' dis shit" aswell I am also making him sound like a black guy, my god, sub-conscious stereotyping....do they always make the black guy die in films?
  17. My money's on: Predator, Jesse Ventura. Dug in like an Alabama tick; a personal favourite.
  18. One of us would HAVE to be just ONE day from retirement too.
  19. Mini Thumbs meet?

    Me and Pirate have been thinking about trying to organise a summer get together of Thumblets. I suggested Bristol, because Wrestle and I live near there. I have no other reason than it's close to me and I know the area pretty well and can therefore plan things a bit better. All those in favour of a summer get together...SAY I.
  20. Great idea Pilgers in theory . I think to achieve this we would need a team full of Thumbs to do it. Stupid people would get in the way otherwise . We could still try with a few of us on a team, see how we did, it makes logical sense at least (the basic premise).
  21. Would YOU pay money to play games with girls?

    Been there done that... (I am LevatorAni) http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=951160&highlight=racism+left+dead Here too...(broke down into what laws are based on, and there was better support for my argument. I am ac3144) http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/102606-25-racism-online-gaming-feel I think what annoyed(s) me is that in effect, I paid to listen to racist shit and could really do nothing about it except leave the server. This was ok to a point, but then my experience diminished by having to leave or being forced to leave. I also get very annoyed when people claim that being a racist fuckwit is somehow their absolute right and retreat behind the shield of free speech. SOMETIMES I JUST HATE PEOPLE I am aware of the irony in that statement Incidentally, I would be interested to know whether you agree with my argument regarding the basis of legislation etc. Do you think I am correct in what I say?
  22. Has anyone ordered from this website in the UK? Is it legit?
  23. Left 4 Thumbs 2

    Agreed. You are right we didn't and yes I can too. I think it's more a server problem actually, as it seems very sporadic and unpredictable. If it was me posting that it was a problem, I would accept that it could be an end user issue, but it's Toblix and he knows shit.
