Film & TV / Do you remember?
19 July, 2014, 06:02:25 AM
so I thought I'd start a thread based around obscure T.V shows from the past.

Does anyone remember watching Thunderbirds 2086? It was a Japanese anime thing based loosely on the Gerry Anderson series.

I remember having 2 episodes on a VHS tape. I Don't recall ever seeing it on T.V. It was pretty good. If anyone wants to see what the hell I'm rambling on about, there are a few full episodes on youtube.

Enjoy!

There may have been a thread about this already but I missed it.

Yes I understand the meaning of exclusive but I still hold out hope. Is there any other way to obtain this excellent swag? (legal or otherwise...)

I need those posters!!

Thanks

When the movie came out Total Film Australia had a fold out of the movie poster which I have since had framed, but the fold marks still annoy me. Does anyone know where I can find a reproduction or original movie poster? Every time I search I just end up finding the Stallone poster. Cheers. GC.

Bloke takes up playing 40k

To be fair I haven't checked the what the exchange rate it like, but I can probably show you a few gamers (nerds) who have spent a small fortune playing Warhammer. In fact, I would dare say there are some here on the board.

Can anyone here beat that sum?

Website and Forum / Untrusted Connection?
24 June, 2014, 08:27:30 AM
Since the weekend just gone, whenever I visit the board I get this pop up.

Haven't changed any settings in this time or what not. Anyone else experienced this? I'm guessing it's nothing to be worried about. Just thought I'd ask.

Games / E3
10 June, 2014, 05:07:56 AM
So E3 has started. And so far the 2 biggest announcements are Halo Collection and GTA V next gen....

I already own Halo 1-4 and GTA V... So they want me to buy a new console so that I can play the games I already own?

Anyone else feeling ripped off so far?

Help! / Cinema Problem
09 June, 2014, 06:37:43 AM
So I went to see X-men the other day. I'm sitting in the cinema, watching the film when I hear this noise from behind me. "Hey Bro........yeah I'm at the movies..........nah I'm in x-men.......like right now.....yeah bro it's on right now...... yeah in 3d...... I'll come see you after the movie......"

This was about an hour in to the film. There were only about 8 people in the place because it was during the day on a week day. And this guy was on his own. Now what would be the correct way to handle the situation?

Film & TV / 2000ad characters on the big screen?
05 June, 2014, 07:29:07 AM
What 2000ad characters would you like to see on the big screen?

Personally I'd like to see a Lobster Random movie directed by Takashi Miike. Imagine the bloodbath that one could be!

In a perfect world, what would you like to see and what actors/directors doing the job?

Music / Music to sleep to?
19 May, 2014, 09:05:59 AM
Does anyone else listen to music to go to sleep? It seems I really struggle to get to sleep if there is no background music playing. Usually a bit of ambient dub does the trick. Recently it's been a lot of 10 Ft. Ganja Plant and Panda Dub

So what does everyone else listen to when going to sleep? Post up some links!

Music / Butchered Songs
12 May, 2014, 08:52:28 AM

Busta Rhymes - This Means War


Puff Daddy/P Diddy/Diddy -Come With Me

Any more classic songs that you feel have been ruined? Yes I know that both Jimmy Page and Ozzy Osbourne were involved with those songs above. That still doesn't make it right though.

Music / Songs that make you think of things...
04 May, 2014, 01:38:40 AM
Me and a workmate were discussing this the other day. Songs that as soon as they come on the radio instantly make you think of something.

Be it getting an ear cut off or Ray Winstone in some speedos

What (if any) songs do you find do this to you?

Obviously songs get used in lots of films so don't list every song used in a movie, more just the iconic stuff that everyone relates the song with the movie to.

Help! / CLICKABLE LINKS WITH TEXT!!!
02 May, 2014, 04:34:40 PM
If someone could help before I go start gunning people down in the street it would be much appreciated.

How the hell do I make links show text instead of the url?

I've tried <a href="LINK">TEXT</a> with the url and code buttons and neither works.

Please help me before someone dies.

Cheers

Music / Best riff ever
02 May, 2014, 09:06:46 AM
I don't mean to seem like I'm spamming the board here, but I think since I started a best solo thread it's only right that I make one for the best riff too.

So lets hear it, what is your favourite guitar riff?

Smoke On The Water still makes me feel like a boss every time I throw it out on my guitar.

Honorable mention to 20th Century Boy

Music / Best solo ever
02 May, 2014, 09:03:50 AM
This one should be simple. What is your favourite guitar solo of all time ever? To this day, Stairway To Heaven still inspires me. Every note is just perfect. I can not fault it. So what's yours?

Oh and a close second is Free Bird

General / 2000ad T-shirts?
29 April, 2014, 09:02:16 AM
A while back I found a website that did 2000ad t-shirts (as well as others : dc comics, movies etc) in a v-neck style. I have a couple from Jack Of All Trades but they are a regular neck style which I don't really like (I have a big neck :D)

If anyone knows what I'm on about can you please let me know as I bookmarked the page on my old computer which is now no longer with us (r.i.p) and I could do with some new shirts.

Cheers
