I really, really liked Edge of Tomorrow. The whole aesthetic was amazing, they puled off the whole concept pretty well. It was badass when it needed to be, funny when it wanted to be. Despite a lot of people I know not wanting to see it because Tom Cruise stars I thought he was brilliant. I'm...

Not actually a weird suited raccoon... thing. Just an everyday run of the mill vampire.

When I first started driving my Dad's car you had to press it twice for a full lock (or hold it down, but I was never entirely sold on that idea). I don't know if that was because the thingy was busted or it was a quirk of the design. I do that by habit now.

Shit I read this thread, does that mean I have ebola now? I thought I had ebola last week but it turned out to be freshers flu.

I really like it, it stopped me smoking around May time to the point that I don't even understand why I did it. I've dropped the nicotine content a lot, to the point that soon I'll just ditch the nic all together, maybe keep up with nic free ones or just not. It costs less, I feel a lot better...

I want to be a scientist and do science, then the Nobel committee be "That science, dayummm!" and I get my science prize for science, then I go on TV and engage the public in science and the public will be all "That is some nice science." Unfortunately since when I tried to write a paper it...

ToC is so amazing, I might have to go watch it now. Totally puntastic! "On the table, Cloth" "Cut from the same, Cloth" It was a while ago, but Brass Eye is amazing. Also, does anyone remember Look Around You? Also while I'm thinking about Peter Serafinovic, Spaced was awesome.

I absolutely swear by these two, but for anyone who isn't a fan of the inquisition (and I remind you all such action is heresy) then Rogue Trader is really good. The mechanics have a lot of cross over, but the setting can be very different.

I have to do 3 masters modules this year as a taught component to my PhD. They won't let me switch one of the compulsories to something that won't be completely useless for my research despite the fact both my supervisors and the institute director agree it has nothing to do with my research...

I started on 4e and really enjoyed it. Bit disappointed to see that the Warlord hasn't made an appearance in 5 so far, although I'd love to have a go with some of the new fighter stuff! Or maybe this is finally the time that I stop being super dubious about alignment and go full on Paladin. It's...

I sometimes discuss general plans with my players, particularly the one who knows a load of the specifics about his class and one who has a lot more GM experience than me. Never in too much detail about the stories, but general things or specific instances with no real context for the story. I...

As someone that was only really around from 5th onwards I'd say it was the 6th gen. The data capacity for DVDs allowed them to do much more in terms of voice acting and better graphics while there was still lots of room for adventurous and interesting stuff to come out. Plus the backwards...

Unfortunately I think some of the throwback to Tennant and Smith was based on that a lot of the fans haven't seen any old Dr Who so aren't really accustomed to having an older Doctor. I don't know if it's exactly the right idea to have gone with, but at least they kept it fairly brief. Then...

That's totally ridiculous. In Britain not only do you own the energy you produce using renewable methods, but if you produce more than you need you can actually sell the excess to the country, although there are some rules as to who can sell and how much you can earn from it these tend not to...

I don't have resting ***** face and tend to have a neutral expression. However, because I work with computer simulations I have developed it's horrible cousin, 'involuntarily swearing under breath even when nothing is particularly wrong'. Office buddies have got used to it but sometimes new...
