  1. Remember Barcode Battler? I found "Barcode Beasties" on the Android Apps Marketplace. Still pretty glitchy, but a load of fun. Scanned a sliced loaf and got a Werewolf.

     

    EDIT: Best to download a proper barcode reader app, though - the game one is pony. If you get a decent one, you can scan QRs too.

     

     

    You star! This has made my evening.

     

    I got a ninja by scanning the smackdown 11 game...it got murdered by a giant octopus on the first hit...

  2. Simon The Sorcerer II - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

     

    I've always enjoyed adventure games, some more so than others. I'd been sad to see the genre fall into nothingness in recent years, with games like Monkey Island, Grim Fandango and, of course, Simon The Sorcerer II delivering fantastic writing alongside fun gameplay. The iPhone has led to a bit of a retro revival of the genre, and I'm hoping decent sales may see some of the better games revived in new incarnations.

     

    Not that I wasnt to ignore your review, But there is a bit of revival all round for adventure games of which Telltale games are the leaders (http://www.telltalegames.com ). They've just completed their 2nd Season of new Monkey Island adventures (each game is episodic), 3rd Season of Sam and Max, but they're just about to launch a back to the future season (22nd December confirmed date), and they have the rights to Jurassic Park (although I'm not sure if ths will be an adventure game)..they've also done adventure games for wallace and grommit, and Strongbad also.. and they're all bloody enjoyable..

  3. well done.how far are you willing to travel?

    I'm willing to travel a fair distance, a couple of hours on the train (or in a car when I can get my hands on one!) puts me into Manchester, Derby, Leicester, Newcastle isn't that far from me, closer to home is Sheffield, Leeds, York, Hull, Grimsby.Basically i'm suffering from not knowing what is out there, I've only just started wrestling and I love it. It's getting me back into shape pretty quickly too and I'm pretty serious about making a good crack at it so I've got to make the sacrifices if I want to get decent training I guess.

  4. Youngy arrived starkers as always, but upon seeing everyone else fully clothed got a little sheepish ...twink.gif.... CorinoZeroOne and his 'special friend' were having a great time ...keo-anthony.jpg... all the while, Verbal Violator & Princess Seashell were still locked out.5c1.jpg

    I'm wanting to go into a party with Seash?...nah I'll go elsewhere :D
  5. I thought it was a well researched and respectful documentary, well worth 70 minutes of my time.By focussing on the people behind BYW, rather than just pointing out the dangers, we got an insight into why these people do it and what it means to them.This could have been a typical "bash wrestling, infecting the young minds, stupid kids trying to kill themselves" type of lecturing programme which focussed on injuries and near-fatalities, but the makers put time into finding out just what it was all about, especially the performance aspect of it all.Though I don't believe backyarding is wrestling, it still is a performance, there to be enjoyed by both those taking part and those watching.And Jimmy Burch, who came across as such a prick when he posted here a few months ago, impressed me with his comments and attitude. He explained the whole culture well, and described what it means to be a backyarder in such a way that you can understand, even if you don't approve, what he does and why.

    <BYBurch> Ur Gay </BYBurch> :pBut yeah, the documentary wasn't bad, although I would have liked to have seen a little more on the backyarders who went to train, did they carry on training?
  6. with over 100 wrestlers in the us alone & over 20 pertner promotions im more then a fan

    Why don't you name these pertner...sorry partner promotions then instead of spouting crap at us.
