I watched a bunch before they left Prime not too long ago and I feel like Die Another Day gets very unfairly treated. Yes, it is stupid as hell, but then so are a lot of the classic era ones. Toby Stephens absolutely chews on the scenery with how sneering and pomp he is as Graves, it's great. I woul...

Moore has always been my favourite Bond. I've always thought of Connery as my joint third favourite alongside Craig with Brosnan coming second. Sacrilege to most diehard fans of the series I imagine.

Incredible. Alongside the outrageously proportioned limbs, they also drew Mayday's torso in a standard perspective whilst somehow her shoulders are behind Bond and her buttocks are in front of him.

Seriously, give Octopus a go. They're a step above the others for me just on the grounds that when you ring their customer services you can get put through to a human pretty much immediately.

The one we aided in the seizing of isn't likely to have any oil in as for as I have read. It came from Iran and never actually made it to dock at Venezuela before being forced to flee is what I believe happened. Considering the effort the US went to capture it there seems to be a prevailing thought ...

Every energy company I have ever used has been a similar experience to that barring Octopus. My DD was set incredibly low for a long time and I was just paying off the debt in blocks every six months (interest free loan for me, yay) until they eventually sent me an automated review saying they were ...

One hell of a projection of force. China and Russia could never dream of achieving an operation like that; in and out with the head of state and his wife after levelling all the AA in 3 hours. Putin tried a similar blitz on Kyiv at the start of the war and look where that ended up, complete destruct...

Capitalism, baby. We survived the Dot Com crash and the GFC, we'll survive another market correction. A crash is 100% coming. Absolutely insane amounts of money are being plouged into this market and it's only a matter of time before companies realise that they can't really make any money out of AI ...

I had postponed my new rig build after the RAM I scoped out jumped from 200 quid to over 500. I've just picked up a partial upgrade with a 5060 Ti because my old GPU is really ready for a rest and there's no way I'm buying one if they triple the price. The end game for this is consumers being priced...

Merry Christmas everyone!

This album passed me by when it came out, but it's being performed in full at next year's ATG festival so I've been giving it a few spins these last couple of weeks. https://open.spotify.com/album/1K1Uiyq8Qp9U5dRenhTaw9?si=Xa9CQlboQ-W-YKuY5UtL3A Blimey. I don't really know why I didn't listen to thi...

I just saw that the studio creating the new Star Wars game is supposedly only 5 months old.

Nuts that they've dropped a big announcement trailer for a game if that is true.

Quite a strong year for announcements and trailers at the Game Awards for a change. Granted most of the trailers were CGI guff, but there's definitely a lot of stuff that has piqued my interest.

ArenaNet announced an update for the original Guild Wars to add some little bells and whistles in order to get it running on Steam Deck last month. It came out a week or so ago, so I dipped back in for the first time in probably 15+ years (account recovery to disable 2 factor authentication far bett...

I think it makes sense to leave the cash ISA higher for older folks because at that age you won't want to be taking as many risks with your portfolio, so having more cash in reserve makes sense. Overall it's one of the budget changes that I think is pretty meaningless in the long run. Probably not t...
