Games / Re: First glimpse of New Dredd Game?

Just saw this post on io9 - I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but it seems a slightly odd thing to post...

It's just some concept art from an 'unspecified game project'. The hint in the article title seems to suggest that the author knows more than he is letting on....

I am not convinced that this hints at a JD game or that its an insider tip.

If a major film studio backs the new JD film and it goes into production then there probably will be a tie in game but it would have to be a BIG budget and a MAJOR company like 20th Cent Fox for that to happen.

I forgot to point out that the Sun was Pro Labour while David Yelland was editor although it had already started to move away from supporting Conservatives with its previous editor.Rebecca Wade who is also very pro labour replaced Yelland so the Sun continued to be pro Labour until very recently when it shifted back to being pro Conservative which is what i think David Yelland doesnt like.

So was David Yelland who is pro Labour and has connections with No10 complaining then about Rupert Murdochs influence then ?

Most probably not.

The western sky here's as bright as anything. I mean, the whole horizon is as bright as the sun, hurts your eyes to look at it.

Unfortunately sussex isnt getting those kinds of sunsets at present as there isnt very much ash in the atmosphere compared to Lancashire plus i am facing south.I am one minute away from the beach so i will go and have a look athe sunset very shortly.

I expect that there will be nothing to report.

I dont quite get the importance or point of that guardian article.

Interesting observation from yesterdays Guardian

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/apr/18/clegg-media-elite-murdoch-lib-dem

"I doubt if Rupert Murdoch watched the election debate last week. His focus is very firmly on the United States, especially his resurgent Wall Street Journal. But if he did, there would have been one man totally unknown to him. One man utterly beyond the tentacles of any of his family, his editors or his advisers. That man is Nick Clegg.

Make no mistake, if the Liberal Democrats actually won the election – or held the balance of power – it would be the first time in decades that Murdoch was locked out of British politics. In so many ways, a vote for the Lib Dems is a vote against Murdoch and the media elite.

I can say this with some authority because in my five years editing the Sun I did not once meet a Lib Dem leader, even though I met Tony Blair, William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith on countless occasions. (Full disclosure: I have since met Nick Clegg.)"
[/quote]

Of course thats all well and good but it doesnt address the fact that there are 4 other political parties in the UK besides the LibLabCon but i dont find the media focussing much on them so while this article points out the Murdoch influence its still reinforcing the LibLabCon because its claiming the LibDems are a voice for the powerless.The fact is i believe that LibDems are already a co-opted party and if they are not at present then they will be if they are elected and that includes Rupert Murdoch.

Also its very hypocritical of the author of the article to complain about the Murdoch influence on papers that publish pro-conservative propaganda while at the same time the Guardian has been pro-New Labour and especially Gordon Brown and much more than that.

The pot calls the kettle black.

How much coverage does the Guardian give to Conservatives and UKIP for example ?

It covers them but it doesnt endorse them in any way.

Hypocritical bullshit article that is guilty of that of which it condemns while the Guardian pushes its own style of propagnanda but because its not Murdoch then that makes it alright.

"The fact is much of the print press in this country is entirely partisan and always has been"

That must include the Guardian then and it doesnt exonerate itself from this by printing this revelation although its hardly that.


The other slant is that the author of the article is probably a disenfranchised New Labour supporter who is pissed that New Labour probably wont get re-elected so he has jumped ship to the LibDems and is very happy to see the propaganda wing of the Conservative party become ineffective.

I know nothing about Cardiff except that these images or similar ones did the rounds in emails a while back

http://ajanlo.kapu.hu/pics.php?d=cardiff

But as has been said - it could be any major town in the UK or Ireland on a Saturday night

Yuk.


Human Garbage.

I can relate to the sentiment of those articles.

Tacky and trashy third rate people.
I hope you aren't referring to all Cardiffians there, or we'll ask you to step outside ... and drink you under a table .. or something.

Not at all.Just that kind of drunken behaviour.Its just the same here as well and its one of my pet hates.

I am glad about that  :)

I wasnt meaning to take the piss even though i just did.I dont usually make a point of mocking others.Apologies for that.

I am not saying that its not a legitimate issue because it might have sounded like that and i am sure there are some journalists and investigators covering it but its just not important enough for me to waste my time with.Besides there is wholesale fraud that is endemic in the UK political system and politicians buying pot plants or pornographic DVDs or paying for duck islands is only a small part of the problem.

Anyway very little has been done to resolve the expenses issue beyond half a dozen low level sacrificial lambs that are subject to a criminal investigation.

I agree, Peter - but the central banks are their main weapon. Take this away from them and their power diminishes drastically.

Thats right as the central banks are their food supply.

My party of choice wont win but i am happy in knowing that i havent been duped by the Dog and Pony show that is the LibLabCon.

You cant fool all of the people all of the time and you cant fool some of them any of the time.

I'm not so into the 'truther' theories, to be honest.

It's not that I rule them out as mere paranoia, but I think there's enough going on under a person's nose to be getting on with, such as the recent expenses scandal, without dipping under the covers.  

:lol: ::)

Dont be offended but we have a serious problem here and avoiding it and avoiding the truth isnt going to get us anywhere.

Besides which it is one of my main interests and i mean to continue.

Be very wary of issues that are there to distract you.

I havent read this yet and i hardly read any fiction whatsoever apart from comics but i am seriously tempted by this mostly because of the subject matter.

I've learned a lot from this cartoon:




This cartoon is me, c. 2004-06.  I'm so ashamed.

I still do this now but its not a waste of time because the subject matter is very important plus the website and comments get very high viewing figures which are much higher than mainstream media.

If it was trivia like arguing about Transformers and that type of thing i wouldnt be that proud of myself at all.

As for being banned i was temporarily banned from this forum plus previous to that i had one warning from Wake about my conduct.

Other than that i havent been banned from any other forum.

The other single most important thing is to remove the round table groups like Bilderberg,The Council On Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission and the Club Of Rome etc from the equation.

These are another kind of cancer that is destroying society.



BTW Nick Clegg is not from Sheffield and he is just another fraud working for the above.

You have been warned.

Why can't we all have our own little local governments on the village/town or county level with Westminster there entirely for national co-ordination? It would be magnificently chaotic and uneven, but truly democratic. Local laws for local people.



Things are difficult and badly coordinated as it is without even more fragmentation.

Robin

And all that is the complete opposite of what we have going on now regarding the EU and a central planning office that rules 28 member states by dictats.

There is even talk of the EU due to the fiasco in Greece dictating to member states what their budget should be rather than the member state itself deciding its own economic policy.

So i ask how can a central planning office possibly understand what each member states fiscal policy should be ?

How can it possibly know ?

So really central govt at national level is really the only way to do it but on a regional level there should also be less govt dictats because even on a national level its very difficult to have a one size fits all economic policy for example or any policy for that matter.

So would I. It won't happen, though. Nobody's going to change any of that oppressive legislation.

It does all have the whiff of stage management, though. I was watching an analysis of that leaders' "debate" the other night, and one of the analysts began with the words "the Lib Dems are not going to win the election..." I keep hearing this. The Lib Dems are not going to win. Not going to win. But, they're "doing so well." It's almost like they're being set up to win, just to give the impression to the electorate that something genuinely new is going to happen.

We all know it doesn't matter which branch of the LibLabCon Party gets in, it'll still be the bankers and corporations calling the shots, but those who look no further than the colour of the flag flying above Number 10 will think something significant has happened when, in fact, nothing will change.

Just an observation.

I am not taken in by Nick Cleggs professional northener facade.

LibDems will definately not get my vote.

Vote for Pingu.



Might as well.

If they are affiliated to or are a fifth cloumnist for foreign/offshore NWO/banking/Globalist interests like Bilderberg then dont vote for them either.

Nick Clegg has attended Bilderberg meetings.

All 3 main parties are affiliated to Bilderberg so i reject all 3 main parties and if you think that Nick Clegg is being set up to win you know he doesnt represent us.

Creative Common / Re: American writers and 2000 AD
17 April, 2010, 09:47:12 PM
2000ad doesnt employ any US writers as far as i know because the UK comic scene exists on its own and its totally seperate.Its not an unwruitten rule and i dont think 2000ad discriminate against nationality either.

2000ad writers and artists have been abducted by the US comic scene a few times.

Submitting to Futurequake publications is probably your best bet for starters besides 2000ad.Other than that there are others here that are far more qualified to answer your questions than i am.
