I’m sure the neighbours kids think you are cool giving them all that colourful language 😉
My neighbours are Portuguese, so I guess I could convince the parents that I’m playing ‘River Cherwell Punt Simulator’ and claim to be shouting “You punt! You stupid fucking punt! You piss-faced, shit eating punt! I’m going to fucking kill you, you punt!” Although they might get a bit upset about the other swear words, which I learned from Signal.
Whilst I appreciate the need of my excellent 2142 skillz to make the rest of XDC look like Max (obviously not physically) I fear that unless I am zoned out on St Johns Wort or Whiskey then I’ll be the neighbour from hell again. Although if I’m blotto on bourbon, I get all morose and lovey dovey, which I’m sure would spoil the pleasant TS ambiance for everyone (except Pharty). Plus, I think I might have a brain embolism or something whilst trying to cap a flag and that’d no doubt upset the wife.
The only thing I can suggest until I get proper psychiatric help is that we use XDC funds to buy an orphan with tourettes and lock him in a cabinet where Magicker keeps the TS server. During any of the games we play he could occasionally come online and make a few remarks.
One kid given a vital role in society and normalcy returned to XDC. Everyone’s a winner!
Well I kinda liked it (surprisingly). I thought Alex Drake would piss me off something chronic, but she’s really just a posh slapper who’ll sleep with any man with money and let her arse get stamped. Plus she a ‘bit of alright’. Gene Hunt, Ray and Chris are on top form though especially in this sequence:
Not as good as the original, but better than that fucking ‘Gossip Girl’ that the wife likes to watch. Or fucking Torchwood.

AVP 2 was a big festival of suck-ass. It totally reminded me of gay.
Which is exactly what the Guardian film reviewer said.
I’d give it a 4/10. I’m getting a bit fed up with the whole Aliens on earth scenarios. I thought that they were supposed to be such voracious killing machines that we had to stop them reaching earth, but apparently not. Plus, they seem to be made of polystyrene now, so that you can kill them with an M4, rather than with some futuristic Auto Cannon (M41A anyone?)
I did think the Pred Alien was a good idea, and what it did in the maternity ward was pretty gross, but the film seemed more like a teen slasher flick than an Alien/Predator film. If anyone here would like to give me £40 million quid I’ll make them a decent AVP, Alien 5 or Predator 3 movie.
I loved it. 80’s tunes (Bad Manners, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and Fine Young Cannibals), lots of gore (medium -rare Sean Pertwee anyone) and a cool car chase at the end. It’s a B movie through and through, but it delivered the goods.

I didn’t even try to make a ‘cavity’ joke.
Vic, I commend you on you cavity joke avoidance.
This film sounds like a feminists wet dream. Men getting their manhoods bitten off, sounds like crazy nonsense to me.
Having watched several films similar to ‘Planet Terror’ (only they were trying to be serious) I must say that this film delivers the goods. I liked the fact that everyone treats Ray with contempt, then after the missing reel they’re calling him ‘El Ray’ and treating him like he’s the best thing since sliced bread.
Mental action sequences, particularly Rose McGowan with her M4/203 leg, or Ray’s knife fight through the hospital.
Good laugh, but probably not one for the ladies.
*Erratic. Planet Terror and Death Proof are two films made in the ‘grindhouse’ tradition and marketed together as a homage to the old drive in movies of the late 70’s early 80’s. I think in the UK they would have been referred to as ‘video nasties’. Traditionally these movies would be taken from town to town and shown as a double or triple bill for one week. Some of the reels would wear out so often the films would suddenly jump forwards missing loads of plot (not that these films had much plot).
Yeah. I liked the whole cat and mouse, man on the run thing that was happening. The villain was suitably horrible and unflinching in his tenacity. I liked the uncomfortable scene when the owner of the petrol station tries to engage him in pleasant small-talk.
Personally though I’d have swapped the ending of this film for the ending of ‘I am Legend’, so that suddenly infected mutants turned up and began laying waste to the place, and in Will Smiths’ case he ends up chasing some money to a bizarre conclusion.
Both films would have made more sense.
Oh I dunno, I reckon that could be worth a nights rental (not really a cinema experience though).
I’ve watched most of the Onion news broadcasts and I’d say that they deliver substantial amounts of satire. The yanks are very good at political humor (although if you watch any of their political shows you’d be hard pressed to tell the difference).
Hi folks,
I’m still alive and been lurking here for a bit.
Sorry for my rudeness in keeping quiet, but it’s become apparent to me that I can’t really play online games anymore as it makes me too angry, which upsets the wife and the neighbours. All my ‘effin’ and Jeffin’ hasn’t been going down well, so I’ve tried to steer of gaming, which is a real shame since I actually do enjoy it so much, and coming here reminds me of what I was missing out on. Plus we’ve got some little kids next door now and I don’t want them to be learning alternate words for vagina when I flip out loudly.
I’m also doing a CCNA at the moment, so that’s taking up my spare time. Lifes much better than it was though, and the inlaws are still being ‘tards, but that’s not so much a bother anymore.
Hopefully I’ll be around a little more in the forums, but I’ll be steering clear of the gaming, unless I can get some cheap prozak or some Moroccan black 😉
Well done Pharty. As far as my wife tells me having a baby is the best thing you can do. Apparently they need very little looking after and rarely keep you awake at night, and coincidentally she thinks she’d like one too!
I must say with that kind of recommendation we’d be stupid not to have a baby!
You’re a very lucky man!

crazy place, if only they could get their laws sorted out to favour equality and liberalism, then I might just live over there!
Equality and liberalism were just invented so by bearded men in sandals who wanted to cop off with fit birds by using lines like “Hi I really respect you as an individual and wondered if we could go dutch on a meal together and talk about how bad capitalism is.”
Everyone knows women prefer the direct approach:
“I brought you a kebab and I’m giving you a lift home, so either put out or get out.”
An old school chum of mine is moving out to Dubai to project manage the creation of a new bank, the lucky bastard.
Freakin’ eh! That’s pretty damn awesome! It’s all CGI, but they’ve used some great stylized manga in the graphics. Now that’s making decent use of computers for a change. Briareos kicks serious ass too!
Now THIS is what Appleseed should be like!
