Roderick Posted November 13, 2009 Looks like it was a lot of fun! =) Good to see Marek's neck is still in good shape! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted November 13, 2009 I know what he looks like, it's just this guy really looked like him but with a beard. I know Kieron has flirted with beardry before, but I wasn't sure if he has one at the moment. So I got TP to go check for me Hmmm... that's not quite how I remember it (Although damn if that guy didn't look like him.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted May 3, 2012 Jesus, that bbx1138 was a real loser. Anyway, I want to kickstart some IRL Thumb community gatherings. Although it's proved unsuccessful in the past, my go-to is cinema marathons. So: BTTF trilogy 27th July Friday 13th marathon 13th July (considering preceding home-based Nightmare marathon, then post-marathon completion-marathon (ie Jason X and FvJ). If none of this tickles anyone's fancy, then howsabout just, y'know, going for a beer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, I think I'm going to a recording of either QI or the Infinite Monkey Cage that day... A beer may be possible, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scrobbs Posted May 3, 2012 It would be good to meet up again and drink beer. Sadly, I am so rarely in London these days, that it is very unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to sound like I'm going for the hard sell, but QI is on every week and I only ever hear stories from mates about queuing for ages then getting turned away. This monkey band, I dunno. Scrobbs: no excuse! Come to London specially to see the floods of Thumbs who are just about to answer this thread! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infinite Monkey Cage is a Science/comedy radio 4 show, hosted by Brian Cox and Robin Ince + weekly special guests. Also, I kinda have an 'in' to both, meaning I'll definitely get into QI recording and will get to hang out with Stephen Fry afterward; same with IMC and Brian Cox...

Ben X Posted June 24, 2012 Apparently Nach was able to bring up the details of my and Dan Marshall's first meeting at the touch of a phone. The film was flawed but enjoyable, and it was cool to see Andy/Arndreth, Thunder and a gang of Andy's young nerdy dev mates. Thunder and I decided that we should set up a drinks-only (no cinema trip style turn-offs) Thumbs London meet. So, we need to gather names and decide on a date. Who's up for London drinks at some point in the next three months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arndreth Posted June 24, 2012 Good to see you again Ben, and this time, Sober! Great to meet Thunder as well I'd be up for that, Doesn't take me long to get into london (1.5 - 2 hours normally). I'll try not to cycle around hyde park manically before meeting you this time. August onwards is best for me, my july is busier than madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderPeel2001 Posted June 25, 2012 I really enjoyed Indie Game: The Movie. As someone who was involved in a tech start-up, I related to a lot of the stuff in it about sacrifice, and whether it's worth it or not. (Personally, I say "no", but have to go through it for yourself to see if you agree or not.) Can't really say I saw any glaring flaws. I think it helps you understand and appreciate who these people are, and what they go through. Despite what others have said, it's quite a feel good movie, and I felt inspired after it was over. One thumb up! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pabosher Posted June 25, 2012 But that leaves one idle thumb! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted June 25, 2012 The flaw that mainly gets brought up is how staged a lot of it is, which did niggle me. Also, it's very interview-based, so you don't get a feeling that much is happening. I did still enjoy it, though, it just depends on your taste in documentaries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted June 25, 2012 I'm going to be in the UK around the 7th of september for http://2012.dconstruct.org/ in Brighton. So maybe we can meet up before and/or after that somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben X Posted June 26, 2012 Okay, well let us know about next weekend, Patters. Otherwise, shall we say early September? Any other London-ish Thumbs up for it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
