And the games have started already: https://bylinetimes.com/2024/05/23/rishi-sunak-staged-election-question-from-conservative-councillor-posing-as-ordinary-voter/ The man told Sunak that “the biggest issue is going to be immigration over this election campaign” before asking him whether “your Rwanda...

The most gleeful thing about it is that it will be his legacy. That will be the clip they dig out whenever he’s mentioned in future, stood there like a schoolboy who’s forgotten his coat, being humiliated by a mocking tune. Robert Peston said the press gang could barely hear what he was saying. :lol...

General election called for 4th July. Have to say I’m enjoying Sunak getting absolutely drenched at the podium while protesters blast out Things Can Only Get Better at full volume.

That's one of the things I love about these games. If certain significant features are hidden away like that it makes you wonder what other more optional hidden content there is to discover. It rewards you slowly going through each area and checking corners for hidden walls and buttons and encourag...

A bit of googling suggests that as long as you don’t start NG+ after the final boss, you should be okay. I’m just acutely aware of how obtuse some FromSoft DLC has been to access, such as Bloodborne where you have to go to a random railing in some corner of the city where an arm descends from the sk...

Once you’ve been to the giant’s forge, I’d say you could blitz through the main quest in about 10 hours, or maybe 15 with more exploration. For the DLC you need to have defeated Radahn (which you will have done) and Mohg Lord of Blood (which I think is optional in the main game). It’s Mohg’s arena w...

Star Citizen If you’re not aware, Star Citizen is free to play until 29th May. I installed it mostly out of morbid curiosity and it did not go well. Once it had downloaded I was prompted to create an account and sign in, only to find it wouldn’t let me as it kept saying I was unauthorised after ent...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/world-middle-east-69035051 This is really going to calm things down in the region. :? The area the helicopter was flying in was very foggy and so in all likelihood it was a genuine accident, but given the timing and the fact that Mossad do whatever they want with impu...

I'm sorry that I never got to know him better than the conversations we had here on the forum, but I think it was clear to everyone what a wonderful person he was and what an eventful life he'd led.

RIP Todd.

Well, put it this way, we watched the first JW film and didn't watch any subsequent ones.

Same here. The original Jurassic Park was a lesson in how playing god is a bad idea (and one of my favourite films of all time), whereas in the first Jurassic World everyone was just incredibly stupid.

I'm not all that familiar with the source material From the Council of Elrond: ‘At once I took my leave of Denethor, but even as I went north- wards, messages came to me out of Lorien that Aragorn had passed that way, and that he had found the creature called Gollum. There- fore I went first to mee...

The first film, which hails from WB and New Line Cinema, is Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum :? I have minimal confidence in this. Peter Jackson et al did a fine job of adapting LOTR. They did a poor job of adapting The Hobbit, and though the circumstances around that were very different, one...

This is an overview of the project which is worth it for a laugh. Having just watched it, the Line is even dumber than I imagined it would be. My favourite potential disaster that the video touches on is if there's structural damage at one end that causes a domino effect that wrecks the entire city...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68945445 This is ridiculous in so many ways. I remember watching Game of Thrones thinking that all the characters who dismissed the idea that the white walkers ever existed were all nuts, because clearly something happened in the past which caused people ...

Taxi Hunter A 1993 Hong Kong dark comedy slasher about a guy who has beef with taxi drivers and goes round taking revenge on them. It's not bad! It was supposedly inspired by Falling Down, though there's little resemblance other than a guy who's pissed off with society (specifically bad taxi driver...
