...man this thread was created for you, wasn't it Radiator?

Weren't people banging on about emigrating making you less grumpy?! Sheeeesssh.

What grinds my gears is Marvel killing members of its colourful clan just to boost sales. To the point that they're just really weirdly flippant about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIrb_uoKrQU - the Watcher gets his eyes pulled out and you get a variant version with glow-in-the-dark eyeballs. Don't know about you but this lapsed Marvelite is kind of sad about it.

I mean... I know he'll just get quietly resurrected in a few years time but - I mean, free gifts to promote a character's death? Just seems off.

Although to be fair to our beloved Tharg that frisbee of Cass's corpse provided with the last meg was vverrry tastefully done.

It's not a bug, it's a mod.

But it is hilarious

There's currently a Steam sale on the very fun Lego Games - some of them are absurdly cheap - including the new Marvel one :O

Software update

Not sure what happened but a new Wacom update rendered my tablet inert. I had to reinstall it from scratch to get it going again - roll back the update.

THANKS WACOM. THACOM.

You see this a lot in the cinema - when the lights go up there's invariably popcorn and drinks cups all over the shop.

I went too far the other way - I spilled this entire bucket of popcorn during the opening bits of Beowulf and spent the majority of the film painstakingly picking it all back up, putting it back in the bucket and then putting the bucket in the bin.....

So I didn't really miss out there I don't think.

I had Geoffery veto them first. Just being extra cautious is all -!



I have a new theory. It is my theory. My theory is this.... [spoiler]Joffrey was a Brontosaurus[/spoiler]

See.. now I'm up to date with the series (as broadcast) - but not with the books at all - nor am I snuffling out spoilers - so despite wanting to engage in speculation over the outcome of certain events in the last episodes ([spoiler]PIEVENTS[/spoiler]) - I can't bring myself to highlight any of your spoiler tags there Radiator :S

My Geoffery is up to date with all the books and that so every moment of screen-time is like treading on eggshells. My latest theory - which she has not poo-pooed nor endorsed is that [spoiler]Joffrey killed himself by accident - he was trying to frame Tyrion with like...fake poison but the people he conspired with double-crossed him and gave him the real stuff.[/spoiler] PLEASE DO NOT CONFIRM THIS IF IT IS THE CASE...

A lot of exhibitors are still on the "waiting list" I think - I've applied but who knows - hopefully!

I've had a sudden surge of good feeling towards this film - helped by the weight of continuity cake. You can't help but adore the fact that it's meant to be in the same universe as the dreary tech-spy bullshit of SHIELD.

This sounds profoundly like something you should pay artists for!

I'm sure BCee and Loz Contreras didn't give their time for free...

[Sue Townsend]

Wow. What a week for it, eh?

Not been in good health for quite some time poor Sue Townsend has died aged 68

Really shouldn't have been given it written about adolescence six years before I was born but Adrian Mole was the book of my childhood for one reason or another. I didn't get more than half of it but I loved it to pieces.

SIZE THEN ALPHABET. COLOUR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

Necropostlicious - resurrecting this ancient thread due to a recent SPARE PROG WINDFALL courtesy of the amazing Mr James Stacey. My collection is in a state of almost transcendent consistency. But not completely - not yet.

I also have an arseload of spares which I'm happy to either swap or be given the postage for.
