As a person? Nothing, I don't know the man. As a comedy actor? His characters are loud, screechy man-children in permanent states of arrested development and every time they open their mouths I want to stick the largest firearm I can hold into their maw and empty the magazine. And before you...

Will Ferrell allegedly playing Inspector Gadget in Disney film Now I'm a genre film whore. My galactic dislike of Will Ferrell means I'd only wait until I can use Disney+ to watch this rather than a cinema trip. But as I was reading some other commentary on this, I thought of a way to have a...

John Blanche's work in the early editions of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game greatly influenced the wider franchise's iconic grimdark aesthetic passes away at 78 Reposting from Chimpzy's dedicated thread in the tabletop sub-forum in case you guys missed it. A hero of the Imperium has passed.

……well, proof of proof be needed that humour is very subjective. What has made me smile is I found a good use for my old gaming laptop. Some of its keys are broken - guess which xD - but otherwise it works fine but setting it up as a pseudo-workstation was a waste of time when my battle...

For the Emperor!

Hamas - like most terrorist ideologues - put forward a big game about the purity of their organisation, and that's enforced pretty hard at low to mid level. But once you get to the old bastards who might have had coffee with Yasser Arafat and Ariel Sharon or Yhitzik Rabin the values tend to be...

Isn’t that just what services like AWS and Azure and TeraData already do? Rentable scalable compute? Like comparing it to water or electricity in terms of utility is fucking asinine but he’s not suggesting some grand paradigm shift here.

This sounds awesome

Fair point, I'd forgotten about Mess Dress uniforms, but from what I read they're optional wear most of the time and are generally worn by commissioned and non-commissioned officers. The position the Steam blurb gives Bond - assuming they didn't fuck it up - is one where you start as enlisted...

To be honest I’m not sure how true that still is at least with government schools in the UK. I know most schools we’d call private certainly do, but they wear long ties so they’d be tying Windsor and Half-Windsor knots. A bow tie is an insanely different animal and honestly, I’d be shocked if...

Yeah about that. I went over to the Steam page for a second for a loom and according to the blurb, Bond is starting this game as a naval airman. Now the closest role I could find for that in the Royal Navy is someone who handles aircraft on the deck of a carrier. Which includes firefighting...

It’s not objectively shit. Aside from anything else, objective means entirely factual and without bias or emotion. A fine thing for an investigation or scientific study but much harder to apply to entertainment beyond pointing out obvious fuck technical ups such as incorrect procedure or...

Okay so what I’m getting from this, is that you don’t think James Bond: First Light is a game for you. Alright fair enough. I want you to do something for me; I want you to search the various video streaming sites and upload platforms for a television show called The Sandbaggers. Should only...

Yeah but Conan the Barbarian isn’t one of them. That movie is legitimately good and was thought of as good on release. It’s been the gold standard for dark fantasy in cinema since it came out and I’ve yet to hear an opening track in any movie like it that comes close to as good as Anvil of Crom.

Huh, the rest of my post must have been eaten. The DB5 does show up in the Brosnan era, but they treat it like his personal car so its in a few short scenes at the start and then he gets the BMW du jour. The Craig era movies are actually worse for this, since they have the DB5 and the modern...
