We've won the battle, gentlemen. But the war goes on.

Help! / Re: Search feature?
10 March, 2014, 08:33:28 AM
The search feature has been integrated with Google as part of the Nerve Centre's gradual plan to take over all electronic media.

If you go to Google and type your search, then "site:2000adonline.com" (ignore quotes) you will find the results you are looking for.

It was some party. But you had to be there.

The Forever War.

If you haven't read it, do so. It's the source of the "Space Marine" trope, the same way Tolkein spawned fantasy

GRAVITY

I saw it, and it was good. The most tense film I've seen since Jaws, if not ever. Can't recommend it enough. Stunning FX - I wonder if I'll see it in 10 years and think, "how could I have been so impressed with this?"

Pah! Psh!

I mock your ordered collections. They are the products of weak minded fools.

BEHOLD!

When is a shed not a shed?




When it is a SHED OF DREDD!





BEAT THAT!

And my impediment is:

We've got mice.

EDIT: On the upside, there is nothing quite as satisfying as killing the wee bastiches. Sod this "humane" stuff. You come into my house, you eat my food, you piss on my floor, you die.

Thanks for the advice, folks, all very helpful.  I was a bit the worse for drink when I wrote the original post, and have had more sensible thoughts since, but essentially the sentiments remain.  Having the previous phase of my working life crash down around my ears has made me acutely conscious of the relative importance of friends and work, and the difficulty of maintaining friendships when the latter goes arse over tit. 

I think a drink-free lunch and a long chat are in order, put all my concerns on the table and see what comes out of it: despite their enthusiasm I'd rather let my mate down now than fuck up their livelihood and/or our relationship.  Turns out we actually have a different simpler thing we can work on together first, so that'll be a useful toe in the water and pretext to talk all this stuff through.

Get an agreement about what happens when you fall out. Best case: You don't ever use it. Worst case: It saves a lot of misery

Stick it to the Man which is basically Pyjamarama / Everyone's A Wally but 30 years later. With great (and I mean great) comedy writing.

EDIT: On the Vita. I mostly play games on the Vita. Mostly.

I won't make it because I'm lazy, antisocial, belligerent and hate travelling.
And my mum isn't going either.

Have a good one tho.

Y'know, the first three make you ideally qualified. The fourth makes you agoraphobic.

I gave up on Oblivion after playing for about 10 hours and still being level 1. I found the levelling system to be delberately opaque and, frankly, annoying.
