Hipster.

 

Haha, perfect picture, lol. Yuck.

That pic reminds me of a girl I used to go out with, who would... let's just say "splash out" when 'stimulated'...

But I don't mind ladies kissing me or licking me all over my face and stuff. I like it.

But everyone has different tastes, some like snails, some like oysters and some like both or neither.

I watched the Bafta ceremony thingy. It was ok. A lot of the clips from the shows intrigued me though, I might have to go and check some of them out.

GUYS HELP I CAN'T STOP READING THIS COMIC ABOUT IF DS9 WAS AN RPG THE TNG CAST PLAYED.

Now I am hooked too!

 

I love it. I have now decided in my own personal Star Trek cannon, DS9 is from now on merely an RPG game. It works so well! I love when near the beginning of the comic Geordi is explaining the game scenario (basically DS9's plot), and everybody keeps interrupting him and telling him how ridiculous and unrealistic is all is.

*Shakes hands like crazy*

I'm hooked toooooo!!!

*Breaks into song*

Is it okay to call out psychics as charlatans?

That depends on whether they are openly psychic or in the closet.

 

I think you might be confusing them with Whales.

It's a lot of films...

The Matrix

Planet of the Apes

Independence Day

Moon <--Highly recommended

I've seen all of those, of course. But you seemed to be indicating that there is one recent film in particular that it rips a big idea off of.

There's also the fact that this film rips a big idea from another rather recent film...

Since only one of those films is recent, I have to assume I know which one you are talking about, and have a pretty good idea of what aspect of that film it must be that they steal barrow from. Interesting. But potentially really lame.

For anyone who hasn't seen Moon, do yourself a favor, and go see it. I can pretty much promise you that it'll be much better than any sci-fi film coming to theaters in 2013.

Come on Ducan Jones! The world of cinema needs you to get on with those other two sci-fi flicks taking place in Moon's universe you've talked about. At least then crappy, lesser, yet much bigger budget sci-fi flicks like Oblivion will have better material to rip off.

Well, his wife has got cancer so he's helping her out with that. And Mute is now going to be a graphic novel from what I've read

I've never read the book(s) before so I can't really comment on the way it was visualised there, but is it just me or does every sci-fi movie look the same now?? It's the same style of design from Star Trek Into Darkness to that Tom Cruise movie. Looks kinda bland.

I do know about the ending though, and that was a pretty dumb thing to put in the trailer.

Happy Hammockus!

It's a shame Jeffrey Jones is in prison for a child porn conviction. He was a good character actor, too bad he turned out to be a creeper.

Wait, what?? What the hell?

*googles*

Oh my god. That's horrific. Every film I've seen him in is ruined now.

Thanks but I'm sure I can pull them from my DVD of either Khan or First Contact.

Didn't I send you the sound of a phaser ages ago for TRM?? Or am I imagining it?

If not you can download the sound here

Just right click and choose 'save link as' on the TOS phaser sound. :D

I hope that's a joke.

Anyway, Elite Force remains one the best action oriented Trek games I've ever played. The expansion pack adds the ability to simply wander the decks of the U.S.S. Voyager and have some holodeck fun as well.

Some talented fans created amazing mods for the game. My favorite one let you explore a TOS era starbase, and the ships being serviced there. The levels were so large, you could spend a couple weeks exploring it all.

 

I have been playing Elite Force again and have been playing this very mod for the past couple of days. It's amazing.

Have you tried out the holodeck yet? ;)

I need to reinstall EF one of these days. I want to play the Captain Proton mod in glorious black and white again.

I have indeed tried the holodeck, as well as found some familar Supermarionation easter eggs at the docks up in space. This whoel thing is huge! I've also installed some mods called Virtual Dreadnought and The Argus Effect. The virtual dreadnought mod is an off shoot of the Starbase 11 mod that we've been talking about, except that unlike there where the people stood like statues whilst you wandered around, they move around the ship and you can interact with them. There's also stuff to collect, and Harry Mudd is there to make a cameo!

The Argus Effect was meant to be part of a whole 'Season 4' mod based on the original series. Sadly only the Teaser and first Act were completed (there were meant to be four acts in the episode) so the story stops. You get to play as Captain Kirk (Shatner, not Pine) and discover to your horror that everyone on the ship is dead! You have to figure out what happened. It's great fun, even if it ends on a never to be completed cliffhanger. :(

The thing that bugs me about the Captain Proton mod is that the HUD is still in colour. There's probably a way for me to change it, but it still bugs me.

Elite Force 2 is no-where near as good as Elite Force 1, but it's still a fun game. Tuvok and Captain Picard are in it, which is cool, despite Patrick Stewart giving a very monotone line reading. There's no zing to his line reading when it's obvious there really should be. Had that been there, it would've elevated it higher.

I know that I used to watch the original series back in the early 90's, back when I was in kindergarten, but I have no memories of any of the episodes I watched. The only thing I can recall are the end credits, and that's only due to this guy.



Sonovabitch creeped me out everytime his face popped up at the end.

That used to freak the hell out of me as a kid. I used to like to listen to the end credits music right to the very end, but I would close my eyes before he would appear as he would scare the shit out of me.

I've played through it too. It's really not that bad... if you play as Kirk. If you play as Spock, Kirk goes wildly careening all over the place constantly getting himself hurt or in the way of your objective.

:-/

The music is fantastic though, I want an album of it.

No, No, No! That's not right either.

COME FIST WITH ME

Come fist with me, let's fist, let's fist away
If you can use some exotic lube
There's a bar in far Bombay
Come on and fist with me, let's fist, let's fist away

Come fist with me, let's float down to Peru
In llama land there's a one-man band
And he'll toot your flute for you
Come on fist with me, let's take off in the blue

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so near
You may hear all the angels cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a lovely day
Just say the words and we'll beat the birds
Down to Ac apulco Bay
It's perfect for a fisting honeymoon, they say
Come fist with me, let's fist, let's fist away

Once I get you up there where the air is rarified
We'll just glide, starry-eyed
Once I get you up there I'll be holding you so very near
You may even hear a whole gang cheer 'cause we're together

Weather-wise it's such a cool cool day
You just say those words and we'll beat off the birds
Down to Ac-apulco Bay
It's so perfect for a fisting honeymoon, oh babe
Come fist with me, let's fist, let's fist
Pack up, let's fist away!!

Everytime I listen to the Tears for Fears song "Head over Heels", a B&W scene of a ballet dancer dancing in a big, empty room plays inside my head.

Me too! Wow, that's weird.

So one of the three Hard drives on my computer died, it was the main one that the system was installed on. Am rather miffed that a lot of stuff on there is now gone forever, but the most important stuff has been backed up and has been saved.

Dr. Bing O. Wings is right. Explore some possibilities via Google.

I totally just read that in Captain Kirk's voice. Like this

:D

I'm going down to my parents for my sister's birthday soon, so I'm going to take it down and see if my Dad can get it to work or do some technical gadgetry to get some of the stuff off there.

I liked Hide too. It was a great deal better than some of the last few episodes which have ranged from 'UGH' to 'meh'

I'm getting a Wii U before the end of April and I'm pretty excited for that. I'm going to have to get a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy. Any suggestions for Wii games?

Lego City Undercover!!

I remember being somewhat disappointed with Fade To Black. There was something about Flashback being a platform game that somehow worked that I remember thinking was lacking given that the sequel was a third person shooter. It's been a while since I played it though, I was about ten years old the last time I gave it a spin. Maybe I'll get it out of the box full of old games in the attic and give it another go.

If there was ever a game that I wanted to be made into a film, Flashback was a strong contender. I watched Outland recently and for some reason that film gave me a real Flashback vibe. (That and also Blade Runner, They Live and Total Recall)

Flashback (also known as Flashback: The Quest for Identity) is getting a HD remake. I loved playing the original as a kid, maybe this'll be good. I'm pretty pissed of though that there isn't a PC version of this coming out, are they deliberately trying to piss me off? Grrrr...

I don't know anything about Oblivion, but I'm definately going to see all of the other movies listed so far, especially Star Trek II 2.

I see what you did there..it should be fun if nothing else but I really hope it isn't Star Trek II 2.

Oblivion looks good. Pacific Rim looks Bad.

 

But...but... It's mega Robots fighting giant monsters! How can that be bad!?

Oo! Oo! I have idea! How about the first thing Darth Vader says when put in the suit is 'Are you an angel?" (In James Earl Jones' voice of course) When Palpatine says no, he rips out his table-thingy and screams "Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
