I thought his stuff on Nemesis in particular was top notch. A style that would suit the gothic noir of Defoe no end.

If you paid a deposit by credit card then you should be able to get a refund from the credit card company. You might need some kind of confirmation that the statue won't ever be sold - but the email you have there could be enough.

I'd go with a colouring book, too. Why not? If you can get them for Spiderman et al? Shouldn't my sprogs be scribbling pink circles over Dredd rather than Batman?

Oh yeah, I just subscribe to both and don't bother with the collections. I've got a complete set of progs and so just dig into the back issues if I want to read something (and they smell better, too).

Giving up in the 90s was a bad thing to do. It's a bit like giving up on your wife if she puts on a bit of beef. Better to rememeber she was a looker in the past, and stick with her till she sorts herself out*

*this comment not to be shown to my wife. Not that she was ever fat. But just because it might not go down too well with the laydees.

A prog countdown! That's a great idea! Not as nice as missing my missus, but I'm going to divide my life into prog size chunks.

4 progs till I go on holiday
19 progs till Christmas!

I, too, am playing through the 360 game having missed it on the original Xbox. It's unpretentious fun, which is also a fair description of both films.

I'm suprised that the following question wasn't on the list.

Do you intend to blow yourself up whilst in the UK?       ;)


Not sure if this was a joke. After all, the Yanks ask that when you visit them - so why wouldn't us Brits copy them?

Might give the Dig a go. It's the only LUcasarts game I haven't tried. That said, I've just downloaded the remake of Monkey Island as well as Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis - so I'll probably go through them first.

You all know collective nouns. A "flock" of sheep. A "murder" of crows. A "herd" of cattle.

Then you get pithy homespun wisdom, like "once bitten, twice shy" or "fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

So what nouns and wisdom can 2K provide us with?

A Cradlegrave of Nastiness.

Stupid is as stupid gun.

(Actually, this is harder than it sounds, and now I'm knocking off for the train)

I've joined. The team is Sleeping Dogs. I trust that you can make as many changes as you like before kick off, as I just threw together an on-budget motley crew.

Wireless energy would have confused my dear departed gran no end. She's have thought it meant her radio worked without batteries.

It'd be like that Simpsons episode where Moleman is hit by a laser ("My cataracts! I'm cured!") then another ("Oh well")

63% here. Why do I care when women got the right to divorce their husbands? How does that make me a good or bad citizen?

Surely there's a Dredd storyline in this?
