Unfunnier than Hardware? Don't fink so.

Incidentally I saw an ad for an editor to the Red Dwarf 'part works' magazine a couple of months ago. If ever there was a clearer indication that the good time have gone and are not coming back - that is it.http://www.talkbackthames.tv/uploads/images/1070288769549_0.49723058807109033.gif">

You can all piss off.

Nick Frost is funny as a performer (Spaced/Shaun of the Dead).

Red Dwarf was really good until one of the two creators jumped ship (apart from maybe one or two ropey episodes in series 5/6).

Let's give it a chance before it gets slagged off, you miserable buggers.

It's a sci-fi sit com, we should be made up that they are making somethingf for us. They could just as easily do another My Family or (shudder) Hardware.

I liked it because something I wrote was in the very first one on Monday. Hooray for me!

Check out page 9 on the sports section.

The ethics of this licensning does seem quite questionable, but is that just because we look at the comics as things for kids.

As the readership of the Tooth shows, this isn't exactly the case.

Picked up this press release. Would a Dredd casino game be something people would like to see?


CryptoLogic Inc., a leading software developer to the global Internet gaming market, announced that it will soon be rolling out new products based on an exclusive multi-year licensing agreement signed in late 2004, with Marvel Enterprises Inc., one of the world's most prominent character-based entertainment companies.  The new relationship, made through CryptoLogic's wholly-owned subsidiary, WagerLogic Limited, makes CryptoLogic the sole developer of Marvel-branded casino slot games on the Internet. You have seen them in the comics and on the big screen, and now CryptoLogic is bringing your favorite Marvel Super Heroes for high-impact action on the Internet - for the first time.  

"CryptoLogic's new relationship with Marvel - home to some of the world's legendary entertainment brands - will strengthen our competitive edge through new, exciting Super Hero-themed Internet casino games," said Lewis Rose, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "By delivering big-name action like the X-Men and The Hulk to the Internet, we're enhancing the entertainment factor of CryptoLogic games - and helping our customers appeal to an even wider player audience."

In today's competitive and increasingly sophisticated Internet casino market, players want more choice and more chances to win.  With Marvel, CryptoLogic is delivering great brands, great games and great entertainment.  Under the agreement, an initial six Marvel-themed, multi-currency jackpot video slot games are set for release this autumn.  Internet casino players will be able to experience big-screen excitement with their favorite Marvel characters - and win cash prizes in US dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling.

Characters including The Hulk, Daredevil, The X-Men, Blade and The Punisher will swing into action in five new 9-line progressive jackpot video slot games. The new games offer multi-stage, interactive bonus levels with three separate jackpots available to be won - the first multi-level jackpot games ever to be offered on the Internet.  In addition, The Hulk will add his power to a new Hulk Fruit Machine - another in the series of British-style slot machines developed by CryptoLogic and favored by the strong UK player base of WagerLogic licensees.  

As a pioneer and global leader in the estimated $12 billion online gaming industry, CryptoLogic continues to strengthen its position with a growing range of software products for the world's major Internet casino and poker markets. The company is also expanding its system capacity to accommodate rapid growth and player demand, and continues to work with many of the world's most trusted gaming brands.

the fact that I momentarily thought that King had been identified as the killer

Me too.

The front cover aroses feelings that a drawing should not do for me. It's probably the boots.

Although the resurrection of Sam was the lamest of the lame (surely a better way was to have Stogie come to his senses and quietly turn the power down), suddenly the rest of the story is looking a bit like the old days.

A huge robot head called Comrade Lennon, the main hume bad guy getting blasted so only his feet remain, the need to use the 'Crystal Palace' and the presence of Pavarobi... it's suddenly madcap again. Brilliant.

The weird thing about Walkers Cheese & Onion (apart from the fact they are the wrong colour) is that they are unsuitable for vegetarians. All the other flavours, Roast Chicken & Smokey Bacon et al, are fine for them.

I've succumbed to temptation and bought enough to activate the 60 per centdiscount (mainly because it was cheaper to buy five at 60 per cent than the four I wanted at 50 per cent).

Regardless I shall soon be getting 7 (count 'em) brand new graphic novels through the post after paying out the princely sum of 37 quid.

Happy boy.

Bugger. I've recently bought these two.

I would recommend Verdus of teh two, but they're both great.
