My kitten turned into a cat and now it controls my bed.
Arh this I relate to. What with Indie our cat being very cute last night and snuggling up the extra space my wife needs to be able to feed the little 'un at night I had about 3 1/2 inches of bed to slept on. Wish I'd got up to watch the fire works!

Vincebot any chance you coming here to moderate reasonably the graps at home today as I'm tired and suspect I'll say the wrong thing at some point to my likewise tired wife.

Yeah I get it every week and do now post on the Review thread but I didn't in the past before I took out a subscription and used to get my Progs from my LCS as I was too far behind to feel what I said was still relevent (not that doing it on a Saturday morning might make what I've got to say anymore relevant but at least its timely!)

Help! / Re: Why am I banned?
04 September, 2009, 02:28:49 PM
Uhhh intriguing I wonder what was the reason behind the mysterious ban? Can we expect more of these strange disappearances. Whats this blanket of silence that's been thrown over the whole affair??? Makes you wish Vector 13 was still about to investigate...


...ok maybe not

Well just finished the three Al Baby story and while it dosn't offer anything new it was still fun. This one seemed to be treading water a little. It is however a shame that there's no book 4 (this is right?) as elevating Alo to Godfather may have made for an interesting story rather than just a cute ending?

Do you see?  Childish, vulgar japery and nothing more. 

Don't argue, Mike -- it's Scojo.

Cheers

I've seen that name crop up before - what is it that gives him away?

Games / Re: Blood Bowl

The site has the game listed as £50 (or near enough) wow that's expensive... well probably not these days but it surprised me. I loved Blood Bowl even if I was a bit rubbish at it. I always wanted to get a Skraven team to work but never mastered the best strategies for them!

This is hilarious. I didn't know what this thread was all about but it contained the words "photoshop" and "tennis", two things I know nothing about, so I was staying away from it until curiousity got the better of me just now!
Havent laughed out loud in the office so much in ages!
Thanks for that, everyone!

Funnily enough that's exactly my reaction on both counts!

and no city on earth is going to oblige me.

For me that's the point. Mega City 1 shouldn't be like any city on Earth as at its heart is radically different to any city that currently exists. Its bigger, more choatic, more random and the structures and citizen's crazier.

When represented best it feels thrown together which in a sense it has been. It came about as people flocked together for protection after a war deverstated America and hence its evolved out of necessity rather than grow and developed as a normal city might or at a normal rate.

I've always considered it a giant shanty town, sure it got bigger, better buildings but when boiled down its still people and their environments and infrastructure are thrown together and its slowly organising itself over time.

The Judges almost reflect this. At first they were there out of necessity. A strict order was required to cope with the choas that was all around them. As the world comes back to order there are changes and democracy and more liberal views are slowly coming to the fore but the events that created the city and its systems were so dramatic and the upheaval so great that the change towards anything approaching political life as we know it is going to take a long long time, if its ever achieved or indeed desired. I think the city should reflect this.

Wow that was a bit of a stream of consiousness!

"It's kind of The Assasination Of Jesse James mixed with an apocalyptic Gram Parsons album."

Oh I'm getting that, I'm getting that big time! I'm getting more and more excited by the prospect of this thrill the more I hear about it. To echo what Jim said I love me a bit of Western action and hoping this one is as good as it looks.

QuoteSurprised no one's mentioned the Natural History Museum yet.

Other than Mikey and me, you mean?   ;)  Still, bears repeating, and you're spot on re: the details in the architecture.  Shades of the Monkey House in Button Man I!  Plus, fossilised Ankylosaur skin, what more could any sane person want?

Ha well yeah obivously I meant aside from you two...??? I wonder what new exciting bit of my brain decided to edit out any reference to what I was scanning posts for then... where's that other thread about us all being mutants I think I found my mutant power...
