  1. You're going about it all wrong. Eric's best line is an arrangement of tricks required to navigate a preordained set of details in a preordained location. It cannot be torn up, anymore than yesterday can be ripped to pieces or the horizon can be sheared in twain. Tear the game's manual up instead. I'm trying to play PaRappa The Rapper, but no matter how hard or fast I try to touch the symbols on the screen nothing happens. I'm not even holding the pad! Any advice would be appreciated. [/cue X-Files theme song] :3 But in all seriousness, that is peculiarly remote chance occurrence. Don't ask me where I plucked that game from, I just needed a question for this thread.
  2. Believe it or not I've not actually watched the new Batman films, mostly because I'm not that bothered about the franchise rather than any real snoberry on my part. I do have a soft spot for Mr. Nicholson though, including his role as the Joker. Which country in your opinion generally produces the best bands, irrespective of genre? Those sorts of programs were a guilty pleasure of mine growing up. Do you remember the TV adaptation of Goosebumps? CarnEvil could be some sort of grown-up tribute to that kind of low-budget spooky programming for children.
  3. Scholar Mahātmā Zaraki, master of the most beneficent GIF avatarage.
  4. No Skin Crew: Five men stand nonchalantly onstage. Suddenly and without warning, their skin tears off as they scream abominably for several hours in apparent inchoate agony. Then, just as quickly as the whole thing began, the men stop screaming, take a bow and thank the audience for being wonderful, as they squelch off the stage leaving a comical trail of bloody footprints. Next band: Goatmoon
  5. Is it just me, or does anybody else keep mistaking Rarity for Psychotic Ninja, and visa versa? I find myself doing a double take each time I chance upon one or the others posts. :3
  6. Man up, Selfsurprise old boy. Don't let them see you cry...
  7. BUT THOSE AREN'T CANON!X@##)^^BBQ!! ;p I think you're right aboy The Elder Scrolls homebrew community. From the quest mods, new monsters, companion mods, etc I've seen that were intended to be within the world's lore fit in nicely yet really add some diversity to the games.
  8. I remember that video didn't go down very well. I saw lot of people say they were disappointed with it, that it wasn't funny. I for one thought it was great. Can't please everyone I guess eh. Some people probably just got their collective knickers in a twist over the fact that Ross was reviewing a noticeably recent and not even particularly obscure title. I've said it before on some other threads, there are certain aspects of "nerd culture" that engenders an elitist attitude, fans of a particular series or franchise learn everything they can about it in order to shoot-down any differing opinions. Part of it seems to stem from a detestable need to try and direct the creative output of the series makers, another part of the problem stems from an over-identification with a fandom because of an individuals general social or cultural isolation. I personally think the latter phenomena is entirely understandable and not entirely anyone's fault, even if the former entitled behaviour really indefensible.
  9. Artist: Adam Sultan Artist: Michele Bisaillon Artist: Mark Grotjahn
  10. (let me apologize in advance for this one) Butthole Surfers: The audience collectively begin to feel nauseous, soon followed by the panic of imminent loss of bowel control. After uncontrollably dropping their trousers to unleash the coming torrent, to everyone's surprise crashing waves emerge from their arses. Atop the head waters, dozens of tiny brown surfer dudes whoop in unison and ride the cresting waves. Next band: Two Lone Swordsmen If I were a performance artist, I'd make this into a whole series works in which I dress as various animals and create strange noises from my arse.
  11. A Cold War era bunker, spruced up and with all modern conveniences. Well away from neighbours but within effortless walking distance of civilization. I'm not a huge fan of heights, and I no problem with the idea of living underground. Of all the games featured in Gaming Dungeon, which one would like to see made into a TV series (animated or live action) and why?
  12. 7/10, still titillates my Trekkish sensibilities, but you maybe want to consider getting something new.
  13. Have Ron and Harry put the wands down, and compel them beat the living crap out of Draco thus usurping him as the school's primary big-dick. They can now jointly rule the roost at Hogwarts and start listening to hardcore grime music and flashing gang signs at one another. I was playing Ape Escape on the PS1 and one of the apes caught me with my own net. Am I doing something wrong?
  14. Your subordinate needs to be at least a level 7 sorcerer or wizard to cast planeshift. Earn some experience points and get him to try again. Most people don't seem to like my DnD jokes. What's wrong with these people?
  15. Thanks for playing my weird thread games Binky... :3 Natives of Ddraig Goch An open-world fantasy RPG in the vein of Skyrim and The Witcher 3, NoDG is set in a magic-realist alternative version of Wales in the 1970's. Enter into a land both uncanny yet familiar, a land of contrasts and contradictions. Eternal valleys exist alongside optimistic building projects that court conflict with ancient forces. A place where dragons roam the auran hinterland whilst government entities liaise with local fey to monitor the more dangerous inhabitants of the myth bound country. A nation where immemorial tradition meets arcane progress, both in unison and disharmony. ~ Poster by Sean Äaberg INSPIRATIONAL TAGS: garish cartoon graphics, lo-fi music, non-humans/mutants
  16. This is exactly what happens to me when I foolishly decide to surf the web. I start oscillating so violently I knock book shelves over, vibrate pictures off the wall, etc. Have you given any reason to become your arch-nemesis. Maybe he is building a spite house within his actual house, purely to spite you and your evil machinations against him. :3
  17. If you let me be the Grave Keeper I'll be forever in your debt Woah_G. I read that job description, remembered that I'm an unsociable club-footed ab-human and thought "I could do that!"
  18. Stroking a second-hand copy of The Complete Encyclopedia of Magic The Gathering I got in the post today.
  19. Why am I the last person to ever notice these things? ~ ^ It's always good to know these things...
  20. Worshippers At The Same Mosque by Vatican Shadow
  21. I recently re-watched the documentary series World At War. The penultimate episode (26. Remember) featured a poem by the war poet Keith Douglas that I found particularly moving, the unflinching visceral details of ruined machines and soldiers corpses granted a strange metaphorical and symbolist reading. That line "burst stomach like a cave" especially haunts me.
  22. Tell them that Centaurs are supposed to be neutral good, they should immediately regret their actions and cease attacking you. No matter how many times I try to shoot Nemesis in Resident Evil 3, he just won't die! What am I doing wrong?
  23. The Voyage Out by Marie Davidson
  24. This is a very interesting question Heliocentrical, I approve of this thread. I'd have to call it a tie between his three-part Arcade America feature or the review of Wolfenstein. Both videos have a really good balance of his insightful criticism (both positive and negative), his ubiquitous humour and topical stuff both relating to and outside of gaming. There's an interesting contrast between his affection towards the affable goofiness of Joey despite the game being a the rather sloppy attempt at a platformer, versus the much slicker and accomplished game engine of Wolfenstein which still left him feeling cold and disinterested. "BJ! We need you manning the MG-42!" :3
