I've scanned a few pages from a book and compiled them into a .pdf but I'm having lot's of trouble converting the file to extract the text. I'm wondering if you knew anything about this? I'm on a mac at the moment by the way.
Cheers in advance, nev.

Just upgraded to an iPod touch after my old nano was full and I'm looking for recommendations.

I was given an iTunes card so I thought I'd get a few soundtracks. I bought Mirror's Edge and the rest of the Pulp Fiction soundtrack after already having one song.

iTunes has now bunched both of the albums together into one even though it says the names of the albums are different (Click on the thumbnail image below to see).

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

For those of you chaps who are unaware of this feature, there is a plethora of games available for download from your Xbox, providing you have connection to Xbox Live. Every single arcade game has a demo, or trial for you to try before you buy. The games can be bought for Microsoft points, which you can buy from a game shop or with a credit card on your Xbox account. The games generally come in increments of 400 points, with 400 points being roughly £3.40, up to 1200.

Considering there is hundreds of games, obviously some are absolutely dire so I thought I'd make a thread where we can share our views on arcade games.

Some recommendations to start this thread off:

• Castle Crashers - 1200 points, a side-scrolling beat-em up RPG reminiscent of Golden Axe with funky cartoony graphics with 4 player co-operative play on or offline.
  
• N+ - 800 points, an infuriatingly addictive platformer where you play as a ninja, has online (and possibly offline) co-operative and versus modes.


• Geometry Wars Evolved² - 800 points, a top down shooter where you control a ship taking on colourful shapes in 6 gametypes, there is offline multiplayer on offer too.

Do any other boarders watch this?

Initially I wasn't really into it, but it grew on me.

The Countdown episode had me in stitches and it had a few nice references that I found particularly funny. Example: I came here to drink milk and kick ass, and I've just finished my milk.

This is sold out on Amazon, the 2000AD Online store and my local Forbidden Planet. Does anyone know when it is likely to come back into stock, or another retailer I could try?

Cheers, nev.

All things Unicorn.

WTF! I think we need a unicorns thread.

This one's for you James.

This is to prove my idiotic friend wrong.
I apparently have to not tell either of our preferences in case I influence answers. Assist me forum!

Is there a plan to release the Strontium Dog stories printed after The Final Solution?
Or will they just remain as the numerous small graphic novels?

Because I'm lazy I stole this image from elsewhere.

Basically I was going through the pile of 2000AD's I inherited and there were two copies of this, so if anyone is interested there is one going. It's in good condition but with creases coming out from the fold on the cover due to being read quite a bit. Also a few minor creases on the cover.

EDIT: I forgot to mention I'm not really looking for any money for this (however a trade would be nice)

Right then chaps, recently acquired £40 that does not require to be saved or used on anything 'useful'.

My current 2000AD graphic novel collection includes:
Judge Dredd Casefiles 1-12
Strontium Dog Search and Destroy Files 1-5

Now then, I was considering getting as much Dante as possible seeing as I enjoy it in the Prog yet have no real clue whats going on, but I thought you zarjaz chaps might have some other possibilities for me to get my mitts on.

If you've not played this fantastic game yet, now is the time to get it.

[Pastrami and Pickle]

Well we've got Noisybast's "Thrill-Powered Food - A galactic gourmet!" thread. Obviously the humble sandwich doesn't require much culinary prowess yet they often taste damn fine. Long story short I felt we should have a place to share our favourite sandwich 'recipes'.

Bonus points for 2000AD related or vaguely suggestive names.

Pastrami and Pickle
Butter your bread lightly, cover in pastrami, slice on some pickle. Enjoy.

I'd recommend Mrs Elswood Sweet Sour Cucumbers (from Lidl I believe) and try to get a pastrami with spices for an extra treat.

I've had no luck on Gumtree, so looking for your suggestions.

This is just to see if anyone from Edinburgh was going over there for a day. Mainly to see about the possibility of a lift, money for fuel etc. could be arranged.
If not, I'll bus it up and see you chaps there.

I'm just looking for someone to clear things up for me.
Are all of Alpha's adventures within 5 case files? And the stories from progs within the last year were in fact prequels to all of the case files?

Having only read recent progs I have not read the earlier stories, and Shakara is a story I defiantly enjoy; both the artwork and story.
I was wondering if there are plans to release all the stories in one book when it is finished or is this the most that's availible (http://www.ekmpowershop2.com/ekmps/shops/2000ad/shakara---the-avenger-xb339-338-p.asp).

Hello, nev here.

I started reading 2000AD several years ago but  that was something of a rare occurance due to the 'not for sale to minors' label on the front. Not missed an issue from Prog 1607 and been reading the Meg from 281, I also bought a number of the Judge Dredd Case Files to see what I've missed out on and have pretty much enjoyed everything 2000AD related I've read.

That's about it really, and I'm just here for conversation about all things 2000AD.
