It's Christmas Eve over in my side of the world. Knowing that many of you (like myself) had challenging years, I thought I'd take ten second to say Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, a great Hanukkah and every other sort of merriment that may apply to you.
Spend it with loved ones and come back for a better 2024.

So, after 22 years (by my math), the 2000AD forum interface is updated.

That was a bit jarring to wake up to and completely unexpected*

*unless it was announced somewhere and I didn't bother to read it.**

Looks great BTW

**Yes, there was an announcement. Which I didn't read.

Now it's time for a big coffee to calm me down...

I'm sure someone would have posted this already, but I can't find it anywhere on the forum.

So (unless I've completely missed a post in an obvious place), I give you the proof of concept shots from a JD series pitch by Studio AiXX - how far king gorgeous are these?

[QUARTZINE]

So I'm over at a mates house yesterday and he has just bought CoD: Advanced Warfare. He installs it (eventually) and then fires it up. The first level starts up with these marines in exoskeletons climbing into drop pods to go into battle and I'm thinking, 'hey, just like Rogue Trooper'.

The pods drop and they're getting shot at etc etc and you land in the middle of the city and climb out of your pod. The first build you see as you exit has big red letters on it: "QUARTZINE"

Am I the only guy seeing this?

Has anyone else spotted the bellywheel?

Had to rewind to confirm, but yup...

IMDB's daily poll is "Which comic-book adaptation are you most looking forward to in 2012?"

Currently Dredd only has 1.1% of the vote - get clicking - http://www.imdb.com/

Hi guys,

I access 2k at home and at work and was online yesterday during my <ahem> lunch break posting about the Rogue Trooper movie. Later, at home I went to log on and was hit with this message (I paraphrase) -

"An error has occurred
Angry Vince, you have been banned
Spammer."

Ouch! I don't know what that was about and I can say it was a hell of a shock. Try as I might, I couldn't get anywhere with the forum - every time I tried to have a look, I'd get hit with the same message.

I'm pleasantly surprised to see that I can get on at work this morning and none of my posts have been pulled, so I'm going to go with the assumption that somehow my home ISP # has been banned by a bot.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Can someone please explain and hopeful fix my home ISP access?

Cheers,
AV.

Just picked this up this morning - Grant Morrison penning script for Rogue Trooper for Sam Worthington's production company.

Early days, but Squeee?!

Hi guys, (and girls. Girls read 2000AD right? Right?)

As a long time fan of 2000AD and Old Stoney Face, I wanted to introduce you to my blogsite - http://www.AngryVince.com - a humourous collection of not-stalgic memories of my misbegotten youth and a mock of life in general and myself in particular.

Added incitement to visit - I've included pictures of my wife's pussy which she recently shaved. http://www.angryvince.com/Misc/Michelle_shaved.html

Enjoy!

[What Makes You So Angry Vince]

Hi guys,

I recently published an ebook on Amazon and want to give away a few copies to other 2000AD fans (who else would share my sense of humour?). I'll give away copies to the first 10 people PM'ing me - no tricks, no small print, I'm just here to share.

What Makes You So Angry Vince
"Many people have written insightful autobiographies and heart-rending stories of their own tragic lives, tales of heartbreak, hardship and redemption that leave the reader emotionally captivated and gasping for air. In a world full of millions seeking meaning in their own lives, these books stand out as beacons in the dark.
Angry Vince has read none of these books.
He is vaguely aware of them and, after someone explained the basic concept to him, thought that this would be an easy gig and could help pay off his Nigerian ferreting debts.
Through a collection of half-remembered episodes and gently constructed lies, Angry Vince explores what has taken him from a young boy contemplating suicide over a library book to an ex-world-traveling ex-karate instructor with a (former) drinking problem and children of his own. His careful exploration of his memories through a combination of hypnotherapy and rubber mallets have slowly revealed the bizarre events that have made him who he is today."

Hi everyone,

My name is Angry Vince and I'm a long time fan of 2000AD, hell, when I started reading 2000AD Dredd was in diapers and rode a Lawstroller.

I've joined the board to keep abreast of the gossip and goings on and to sweat out the final months before Dredd hits the screen for the first time ever (that is not a typo, you know what I mean).
