That worked, thanks.

Guh, it seems like YouTube is on the blink on my end (I get sound, but the screens are green).

fortunately the pedo scare seems to have killed off trick or treating over here or at least, only got one group last year, we'll see how it goes this year People being so paranoiac about paedophiles in the UK can, in some extreme and tragic cases, lead to a misunderstood and innocent man getting ki...

Infinity Biscuit, I like the comic art you've used for you avatar, where did you get it?

The St. Jude storm just made the 28th in UK's West Country a bit more wetter and a bit more windy, the buses got disrupted and some drains overflowed, but at least the power held and nobody died in my area. I feel for the harder hit people in the East of England, Denmark, Belgium, and Holland.

I'll have what Baks is smoking.

OK, I think the more propagandist, toned down, and simplified Western mass media of the 1930s/1940s/1950s did a lot to warp and damage the perceptions of modern people's take on history and politics. Mass media is very powerful and Hollywood movies from the 1930s/1940s/1950s are the most accessible ...

What about the British Common Wealth nuke blasts in SW Australia?

GTA V's Impotent Rage cartoon character is a good representation of many of the posters on SD.Net's N&P section.

It'll most likely be in French (EDF are actually doing the gruntwork, since unlike in the UK, America, and Germany, they didn't let their nuclear power sector age and wither away like NASA).

Has anybody heard about or seen This Movie Has Not Yet Been Rated ? It goes over the stifling pre-mid 1960s censorship, but it's mainly about the current heavily corporate controlled MPAA (and also goes over the immense PR clout of the US Military, which explains the largely wanky, overly favourable...

You know, I still have difficulties processing the fact that those newborns I saw people carry here and there in the streets in the late 1990's and early 2000's are the same teenagers I see nowadays hanging near the gates of the middle and high-schools here. I know what you mean. I teach children w...

Shit, now the future of nuclear power in the UK is being entrusted in the hands of a one party totalitarian dictatorship...

I can vaguely remember reading through a Tom Clancy novel that was interesting and entertaining, but maybe I was a little young for it and lost interest in reading it - I think it involved a top secret Soviet laser weapon facility close to the Afghanistan border.

Novelists don't make old bones.

I guess those US public sector workers have something to put their mind off Washington DC shitting the bed...

I find German less counter intuitive than the amusingly unphonetic French.

OK, I must be around 3/4s of the way through the story mission of GTA V and this is arguably the best "action" mission so-far and similar in tone with the Saints Row stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMUMiH9yV0M The bank may have been a illicit shadow bank used by crooked elements in t...

What brought back the thought ?

Well it seems like enough time has elapsed that we'll never know what ever happened to him now, there's no real closure (unlike poor Yosemite, where we know how he sadly passed away).

I wonder what ever happened to Ghost Rider and still bit shocked by his unexplained disappearance, even though he suffered from angry hubris like a lot of SD.Net mods.

After the jewel shop heist and the opening story missions with TP, GTA V opens up dramatically (the first two characters have relatively little money and couldn't afford the equipment to properly explore San Andreas).

Oh my god:

It was called The Journey, I think.

man i never got further than a few missions into gta iv. i made the mistake of playing it after SR2. In the end it was much more funner just to go back to that. Where vehicles were controllable and the game was fun. So coupled with the price point of new games. and the weird triple protanganist thi...

Jesus wept, GTA V took many minutes to load up the whopping memory space (and requires two discs to run). I've played it relatively briefly and so-far it looks/feels like a cross between Just Cause 2 and Red Dead Redemption.

I guess the local cops have purchased a mini-tank for the time they'll take you all away to the FEMA death camps.
