I've not managed to find the Chopper game referenced, but here's a handy list of games that have been published in 2000AD:

It's time to talk about 2000AD tabletop games with my guest Jim Hawkins. We start with the Rogue Trooper board game and go on to talk about the new releases from Warlord Games and the Worlds of 2000AD role playing games.

Listen in

That was an unexpected namecheck, thanks!  Prompted me to update the boardgamegeek list to add the last year and a bit's worth of releases!

Orville s2 also starts on the 28th.

Not knowing what you're actually talking about, I now have images relating to this in my head:

I really liked Silo, don't remember Crusade and my opinions on non-Wagner/Grant Robo-Hunter are best left in the padded cell in my brain, gnawing at the walls in pathetic, drooling madness.

I think even with non-Wagner and Grant Robohunter, you still have Casanovas and Hughes art to raise it a little (perhaps if somebody went through them and made up new dialogue - or just removed what's there already).

Mark Millar, Mick Austin on art, something about Vatican judges, who are nowhere near as interesting as Vatican paranormal investigators.

SMF playing up - had to split my reply into two parts, otherwise it insisted that my reply was empty!

And I think maybe it's the second part of Mean Team that's bad? This first section has some good action and the brain transplant stuff is inspired imo. It might also being 80s teens being too cool for sports comics? 😁

I liked both parts - first was Mean Arena / Inferno-y while the second bit with [spoiler]post-apocalyptic, ruralised Earth[/spoiler] harked back to [spoiler]Meltdown Man[/spoiler].

I think I ended up spoiling this for Fox in a later episode because Tomb of Terror is in the collection with that name.

Though thinking back - doesn't the very first episode foretell where Slaine will end up?  Blame Pat!

Early thirties and have been into comics since University - always aware of 2000AD but never really delved into it.  After getting the Judge Dredd 01 collected edition I have been working my way through and started subscription to 2000AD!  Think I have a lot of catching up to do!

The Mega City Book Club was also a massively helpful thing getting me to take a bigger interest in 2000AD.

Welcome aboard!  How far through the Case Files have you made it so far? (am assuming you started with Judge Dredd Case Files 01, and not Judge Dredd the Mega Collection 01?)

Fabry seemed to be at the top of his game here, with amazing dynamic combat scenes in the arena, and a brand new look for Slaine. 

It is good, but gets better for [spoiler]Sláine the King[/spoiler] (spoilered because there's at least on person who might read this who won't know about future developments).

Thanks Conrad for all your hard work! This is the best podcast out there.

I am still reading along with the show and The Mean Team is better than I remember it. I am wondering if I just confused it with Mean Arena in my memory or whether it goes drastically downhill.

Mean Team gets a bad press (not least from the editorial staff of 2000AD about a decade later, sadly), but I always love an excuse to showcase Belardinelli's imagination.

Horses for courses. They are pretty good around here, and their tracking works well, with a little online van you can follow around a local map. Their customer support has gone downhill some, mind, since they outsourced everything to India.

I now about the online map - because I could see it during my lunch break at work (they knew I was at work and that there wouldn't be anyone in to take any deliveries, but insisted on wasting fuel and time doing it for three days running anyway).  Rant over!

Found it! - and am currently on page 300 of the political thread!

Maybe, but there's also an option to set how many posts you see per page. So I'm afraid there's a long way to go!

There is?  Where's  that then?

...or did you photoshop that?  Not found any setting for amount of messages on a page, and there don't seem to be too many setting pages for it to hide on.

Just bought my eldest the 4K remaster of They Live for his Christmas.

Anyone else getting interesting stuff for their self kids?

(To be fair, he's watched The Thing, the Alien movies (not Prometheus or Covenant; I love the little guy) and Die Hard, and asked if there are any cool 80s films that have a "Arnie or someone else shooting up aliens")

Critters?  If they like They Live then they'll be on board with dodgy eighties fashion...
