Dredd's voice was pretty good for the America and The Pit audiobooks - not quite as menacing as imagine it*, which is pretty much Dirty Harry - but I actually appreciated how understated it was compared to the old Toby Longworth version which I really wasn't into.
For Origins though, it was back to the 1940s gangster movie Dredd of the Judge Cal radio drama, if anyone remembers that. Not my bag at all.
*Karl Urban remains my favourite Dredd voice, along with an obscure Dredd arcade game from the 80s or early 90s.
Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 14 February, 2024, 02:16:12 PMI have a vague memory of a 2000ad strip where someone is listening to the lyrics 'to my mind she's my kind of girl', which Google tells me must be this and sounds very different in reality from how it was in my head.
Quote from: Batman's Superior Cousin on 14 February, 2024, 03:25:02 PMThe trouble is, that hardily anyone ever seems to post in some of the threads anymore.Quote from: JayzusB.Christ on 14 February, 2024, 02:24:55 PMI didn't mean to suggest that nobody should ever post here any more - I have absolutely no problem with anyone paying their respects here to a person who had a genuine impact of one kind or another on their lives, and I'm happy to read these tributary posts.
I just don't think it was ever meant to be an exhaustive list of today's deaths, which I think is a pointless and somewhat morbid use of the forum.
On other forums that I (in)frequently visit, this seems to be the exact point of similar celebrity / famous individuals condolences thread(s).
Quote from: Eamonn Clarke on 07 February, 2024, 09:36:27 AMDid you ever cover Hardware? Unofficial adaptation of Shok! but forced to credit Steve MadManus and Kevin O'Neill on video release so technically the first adaptation of a 2000AD IP.

BM1 47: Megazine Vol 2, Issues 67-69 (nice)
BM1 48: Judge Dredd Yearbook 1995
SS2k 301: 2000AD Progs 916-919
SS2K 302: Winter Special '94
SS2k 303: Spinnies 94
BM1 49: Meggies 94
Then we cross the border to 1995! I hear there's a movie coming out!
Quote from: The Legendary Shark on 03 October, 2023, 06:02:14 PMIf we're serious about this carbon thing, I thought, then why do we still have fizzy pop? Beer and cider and sparkling wine, sure, these things are entirely necessary. But fizzy pop? Rotten teeth, diabetes, and climatological ruin?
