  1. Bit of a search reveals it was called 'Kiss Me Kate'.

     

    If my bizarrely random memory is correct then Jasper Carrott wasn't in that, it was Chris "It was just research!" Langham.

     

    I could throw in another one of my trademark shit-claims-to-fame and mention that I used to go to the same takeaway as Jasper Carrott, and once blagged my way through a conversation with him about Birmingham City despite not having a clue about football, but I'll leave it for now.........

  2. Is it ok to plug some of my Triple X stuff here? No objections? Awesome.

     

     

    Here's a highlight video of our last event so you can see the sort of shit we've been getting up to

     

     

    Because more people need to see it, here's The Henchmen's 'Shoot Interview'. If you're a fan of shoot interviews you're gonna HAVE to watch this.

     

     

    I dont think much needs to be said about this one...

     

     

    Pretty proud of how this one turned out. Just a short music video chronicling the rise of Zack Sabre Jr., from teenage Triple X standout to NOAH's GHC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team champion, that we showed to the fans to celebrate his return.

     

     

    A feud video highlighting Flash Morgan Webster's mission to get a match in Triple X, feat. a fleeting appearance from your truly.

     

     

    And to round it off here's a couple of our entrance videos

    Havent really tried out Online yet as I've only really played for a couple of days. Loving the game overall, although I am finding the music to be a little lacking in this one. Don't get me wrong, there's still a couple of good tracks in there, but there's not a single song that I really look forward to hearing. There was nothing like that moment when you'd be driving back from a really tough mission and an amazing song would just kick in on the radio and make you think "I fucking love this game!".

     

    Not that I don't fucking love this game, I've got a feeling it's going to be one of those that wont leave the disc tray for months.

  4. So I went to Eurogamer Expo on Friday and managed to spend some time on the days-old HD prototype version of the Oculus Rift. Just wow. I've seen the future, and it's deliciously anti-social! The headtracking seems to be spot on, the only real issue was that even with the HD version you can still quite clearly see the pixels which slightly breaks the illusion, but hopefully they'll find a way around that. Still, there's no way that I'm not getting one of these babies the second they hit retail, especially with the relatively low

  5. The Water Wheels stuff sounds fascinating, mostly because it bares many of the hallmarks of an undiscovered natural phenomenon rather than a supernatural one, making it instantly more conceivable. It reminds me a lot of St. Elmo's Fire and the Naga Fireballs. It's pretty easy to imagine the atmospheric conditions for them to be so rare the chances of a scientist being able to confirm them become almost zero, unless they just happened to be in the right place at the right time. Also, when you think about how exact the conditions need to be for certain natural phenomena to occur it seems completely possible that global warming could render certain natural processes next to impossible today, which could account for the lack of recent reports.

  6. Back to the slightly possible Who/Bond connection, ever since I was a kid I always wanted them to get 2 James Bond's for a Comic Relief/Children In Need/Red Nose Day sketch where they show one getting shot and 'regenerating' into the other. I think the idea did come from legitimately thinking that the multiple Bonds worked the same way as the multiple Doctors when I was quite young, but even after then I just thought it'd be fucking cool to see.

  7. I don't get why people are so disappointed with the finale, I think we've just been spoiled by all the US shows that have conditioned us to think the finale has to be the most epic episode of the series, or contain a massive cliffhanger or twist.We had our climax with the Red Wedding, and this episode simple served as a and epilogue to that a prologue to season 4, and you know what, it did a fucking great job.

  8. I REALLY hope I don't have a daughter then. I'd be constantly paranoid and checking to see if she was walking funny or had anything dripping from her face...

     

    I'm sure our generation has been effected but the instant availability of pornography has still exploded in the past 2-3 years with countless tube sites. Before that I don't think I'd come across (ooh er) half the bizarre stuff you can accidentally see now. I think I went most of my life without seeing blood in porn, but some sites will spring it on you with moving thumbnails.

     

    Then again maybe it'll have some sort of positive unintended consequence. Perhaps everyone having anal sex and pulling out all over the face will halt the over-population problem. I'd much prefer that over China's policy...

  9. Well I'm guessing there's less of the former, and niches seem to be one of the directions the porn industry's going in to survive, so probably.

     

    This is also going to sound a bit Daily Mail-ish, but is anyone else worried about how easy it must be today for children to find the near infinite amount of free hardcore porn that's out there today? I've got a cousin who's getting to the age I was when I was discovering my Dad's copies of Fiesta & Escort, but he has his own iPad that I doubt has any parental locks set up on it. What's going to happen when a whole generation's first images of sex include bukkakes, dominatrixes and gagging? We really had to scavenge for our childhood porn, but now you can find a site like Redtube through Google, which is great for us, but that has to have some sort of negative effect on a developing mind. There's not really much that can be done, it seems pretty inevitable, and those kids have probably already been out there for years, but it'll be interesting/unnerving to see what the long term effects turn out to be.

  10. Just saw Iron Man 3, and tbh I really enjoyed it. Just as the superhero genre's getting a bit stale Shane Black gives us a different type of story. This feels so much closer to the Iron Man comic books in tone and style than either of the other films.

    Not sure if anyone noticed, but apparently Killian's tattoos were of Fing Fang Foom, which would support the idea that he's actually the real Mandarin, but with Rhodes's reaction to him 'breathing fire' perhaps he was meant to be Fing Fang Foom himself..... It's also interesting to note that while Killian's character in the comics appeared for about 2 pages and was pretty inconsequential, in this film he acts more like the comic book version of Justin Hammer than the character we saw in IM2. It's quite a messy re-imagining in that respect, but I guess it was needed for the slightly clumsy Tony & His suit / Killian & Mandarin parallel. There also seemed to be a layer of subtle nods to someone (Red Skull/Loki) pulling Killian's strings, so I'm wondering if maybe there's a missing piece to the story that we'll see somewhere else in Phase 2, perhaps something setting up the Masters Of Evil for Av2? Red Skull, Loki, Mandarin, Winter Soldier?

    The whole thing with the kid seemed a bit off, but I've read people suggesting that he's meant to be Star-Lord from GoTG. If that's not the case then it was a massive waste of screen time.

  11. Seemed like the right place to put this since I found out on facebook, but an old school friend of mine who became a Mormon preacher in New Zealand is now moving back because NZ have changed changed their laws to allow gay marriage. Before facebook he was a really popular and well liked guy, but over the past couple of years he seems to have alienated almost everyone he knows with his extreme Mormon views and rants, so it's been a pretty amusing journey to follow, and now he seems to be throwing his entire life away and starting from scratch just over this new law. I'd normally just remove people like this from my feed, but I kind of want to see just how badly his bigotry guides him.

  12. Anyone else getting sick of the amount of idiots on facebook today demanding the execution of this Phillpotts couple? I know it's a pretty horrendous story, but it's turning more and more people into stereotypes of Daily Mail readers. Some people seem to be of the opinion that we're 'behind the times' by not having the death penalty. It doesnt help that most of the related pictures they're sharing seem to come from groups with names like 'British and Proud'. I actually hate this country.

     

     

    Edit: Oh, and Connie Lingus

  13. Oh, I've got a new one. People who don't actually post any status's at all, they just repost constant fucking pictures from 'funny' meme groups. Just get a fucking personality already.

     

    And while we're at it, Dad, please stop posting youtube links to Nirvana & Dandy Warhol tracks when you've had a drink. Stop trying to pretend that's the type of music you like, you listen to Cat Stevens and The Bee Gees, stop trying to pretend you're cool.

  14. The fucking worst are new parents who post about their new baby's nappy contents and then all get up in arms if someone moans at them. One of the reasons I haven't had a kid yet is I don't want to deal with that sort of shit (pun not intended), and I certainly don't want to read detailed descriptions of consistency 10 minutes after waking up, so stop fucking forcing it on me! It's getting to the point where I think I'd rather see another abused animal pic. Also, if your entire personality is centred around the fact you're a parent and you love your kids, then you're a pretty dull and irritating person. You know what? Fuck you Madeline, fuck you and the endless stream of ugly shitting brats that keep crawling out of your vagina.

  15. Reminds me of the story about how apparently unsigned copies of Lou Thesz's book are rarer than signed ones.

     

    I have an old All-Star programme somewhere that has a random signature on the front. I can't remember any imports being on the show, let alone asking anyone to sign it, so fuck knows who's signature it is. It was around the time they were using Jannetty, Bulldog & Yokozuna, so I guess there's the chance it could have been one of them and I bought the magazine with the autograph already on it, but I honestly haven't got a clue.

     

    I'll probably spend the next couple of hours digging it out of the loft now only to find it reads "Magazines

  16. The Invisibles is another one I started about 10 years ago and never got round to finishing. I enjoyed it, but found the story to be very similar to Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere, with sprinklings of The Matrix thrown in, and while the comic predates both of those it just made me feel like I'd heard it all before.

     

    I never did finish The Boys either, think I got up to about the Herogasm spin-off series and it just reached a point where I'd had enough of visiting my 12 yr old brain. Obscene gratuity's great fun in small doses, but after a while it does tend to numb you, and when that happened with The Boys it just felt like there wasn't much left to hang onto.

     

    Y: The Last Man still remains one of my favourite series to date, despite losing steam near the end. The more I read Preacher the more I see that Y was intended as one long ass love letter to the series, as evident by Yorick's 'Fuck Communism' zippo, so it's a shame I ended up reading Y first as I probably would have gotten even more of a kick out of it if I'd have understood the references.

     

    Hadn't heard anything at all about The Unwritten though so I'll keep an eye out for it. Could you clue me in on the general story? I'd search myself but I don't trust that sneaky bastard Google when it comes to potential spoilers.

  17. While playing around with WWE '12 I can't help but notice that Create-a-Move seems to force you to go through the most pointless and convoluted path available to you before you reach the top rope Styles Clash. Makes you wonder if this is a subtle dig from WWE/the developers, or just the ridiculousness needed to get two human bodies into these positions. Either way it speaks volumes...
