Oh, Bob... We tried to tell you you were right the first time about Michael Bay...

Never had or used Adblock, I'm one of those self-righteous people who doesn't (often) stream films illegally online (thank god for netflix) but I should say, as I read through this forum, there's an ad autoplaying - with sound - somewhere on this tab, that I can't find and if I could find I...

You know what? They might be right. I never see Nintendo's big hitters on the DS 2nd hand in CeX or whatever: and I can't personally remember trading in or even giving away any Nintendo games, going back to Pokemon red and beyond...

Wow, no one's mentioned the four humours yet (based on searching for 'humo' on each page, I'm not reading 4 pages of comments... These are very similar to the classical humours that the Greeks thought ruled health and personalities: blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile, from which we get...

Quiver in fear mortals as I unveil my power of ANTIMATTER STABILISATION! The power to prevent antimatter from being annihilated when making contact with regular matter. Well, crap. I'm a biologist, never got on with physics but now my only purpose is to go mess with the fellows at CERN. I'll...

Ah yes, these books are cracking. Probably iron. I would tape a paperclip to all my stuff so I'd be able to get them without getting up, I would be able to cycle at high speeds by pulling towards lamp posts or cars. If I was really suicidal one day I might even try spidermanning around! there...

eh, in my (small) hometown there are 3 good to large sized GAME shops within literally 2 minutes walk of each other. I've always thought that was ridiculous, maybe they could close one or two Whoops, looks like there are two of these posts within 2 seconds reading distance.

Here's another thing: I've seen in these 'used games' related threads that in the USA gamestop seems to sell used games a/ very soon after release and b/ for about $5 less than new. Is that true (we don't have gamestop in the UK)? If so, buy it new. Come on. If you MUST have a game straight...

This is all a problem of perception, just like when Odeon changed their 3D charging: How they did it was 'Yay! 3d tickets have gone down in price by a pound! but now you have to buy glasses if you haven't brought any with you, for a pound.' Compare '3d tickets are the same price, but now you...

The Producers, yes. and The Parent trap. Aw, remember when Lindsay Lohan was cute? It was my sister's favourite film for years.

Anyone play C&C Generals? The GLA always had the best/worst lines (in a horrific MiddleEastern except not really accent) 'Don't get on my bad side' 'Roads are boring!' 'Ow! Okay, okay, I will work!' And of course 'AK-47s... FOR EVERYBODY! [cheer]'

Here's a little story for you. At my senior school in the UK when I was about 12 or 13 we had an RS lesson where the teacher who I respected and liked gave us a lesson where he talked about evidence for creation or at least against evolution including such classics as 'it's as likely as a...

@Gottesstrafe That comic is nearly very very awesome, though the whole Czechoslovakia thing at the beginning of WW2 was quite a big thing and needs recognition... Not a proud moment for us in the UK.

Okay, but what do YOU have? apart from wishful thinking that our grotesquely irresponsible lifestyles aren't killing the planet and each other? At least my view is supported by, once again, almost all the people who study and understand these things. Whose word are you taking as Gospel? Fox...
