Just Me

Not sure if it counts in the traditional sense of idiocy, but I've now found myself at the adjacent desk to someone who chews with his mouth open. I want to punch babies.

A cool gritty E4

Stopped reading here.

You know, I reckon people have got the guy all wrong.

I mean, how could you not trust a face like this?

Toronto could be interesting, if they shoehorned Niagara Falls in there.

I'll be highly surprised if it happens. I think more of the typical GTA audience would be put off by it than it would attract or excite.

Anyone played Final Fight: Streetwise? It's actually not bad, though not a patch on The Warriors.

I'm confused and a little bit scared.

Exactly. Parents don't give a shit - any sales decrease due to parental concern will be easily outweighed by the increase from extra publicity and curious novelty.

I fully support the BNP. I'm not xenophobic in the slightest, but I do feel that England is losing its heritage due to the high levels of immigrants, many of which don't even speak English, and many of which want us to make adaptations to our culture to make them feel more at home.

 

The BNP immigration policies detailed on its website make for interesting reading. The country is already bursting at the seams as it is, and really needs more careful border control. Deporting the two million who are currently here illegally is essential.

Fully? Really?

Or do you just support the "safe" policies that pander to the average disillusioned numpty, and casually overlook the more downright evil policies reserved for the lowest of racist scum?

I'm not replying to be cheeky, but why not just lock the thread instead of leaving a big red button with the words 'DO NOT PRESS'?

Anyone with a feline friend will recognise

the English accent of the male cop smitten with his colleague

 

He's married to her off the original office

Jasper Carrott's daughter? (I should have saved that piece of trivia for a time like this. Now I've overused it.)

Micro men on bbc 4 last night .. pretty good i thought

Wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea (or Java), obviously, but I quite enjoyed this. Liked the part where they're trying to out-metaphor each other in the cafe.

The Mentalist (season 2)

Question for Loki or anyone who's seen the screenshots: Does Ryo's racing vehicle of choice happen to be a forklift?

Sega are absolute bastards to include him while denying any future for the series. If they can acknowledge that he's a popular character from a worthy franchise, why not complete the Shenmue saga instead of mocking its fans this way? Either sweep him under the rug or don't. This is just cruel.

I think the important point you're missing is that Mortal Kombat is shit, and the only reason people play it is to see the fun, stupid and/or gruesome moves.

That's why I played it the first couple of times, but by MK3 - for my sins - I was actually interested in the characters and storylines behind the gore. The plot all got a bit silly towards the end of the last gen though.

However, Quan Chi's rip-their-leg-off-and-beat-them-with-it Fatality is the best thing since Baraka accidentally invented sliced bread.

Oh the inputs aren't outrageously different, but the engine is so clunky and restrictive that making SF characters abide by it would be like putting them in strait-jackets. Stupid canned animations and dial-a-combos abound. MK vs. DC was a fun novelty but the gameplay was horribly primitive.

Surely we're "next gen" enough by now to let the different sets of characters abide by their own laws? Would it really be necessary for Ken and Ryu to "straightjacket" themselves into the MK engine, or for Scorpion and Sub-Zero to be "ruined" by SF's? Have one bunch behave one way, and their rivals behave another. Two different styles should be able to co-exist in the same game on current technology.

Come on now, the controls aren't that different. Slightly adjust things like blocking and they're near enough the same, with your standard "down, down-right, right, low punch" combos.

Hey, think I'll camp in the living room tonight.

I'm sure it's just a devilish attempt to give the milk thief a quick scare.

Not strictly on topic, but I smiled at this email sent round the office today:

It has come to my attention that someone has been using my milk from the fridge. I feel that I should let you know that I am on a special course of medicine that has to be mixed with milk.

 

Due to the possibility of adverse side effects of this medicine the person responsible might like to contact me so that I may pass on the details of my prescription so that they may contact there GP to see if there is any cause for alarm.

 

Thanks

Holy hell, EA fucked up bad.

His transformation scared the crap out of me as a kid.

I doubt they'll make any significant changes to the British release, beyond hopefully localised English spelling.

Anyone know how to get past the tornado? That's the one that's been bugging me.
