Jokes thread : Reloaded

Time
There was this guy at a bar, just looking at his drink. He stays like that for half of an hour.

Then, this big trouble-making truck driver steps next to him, takes the drink from the guy, and just drinks it all down. The poor man starts crying. The truck driver says, "Come on man, I was just joking. Here, I'll buy you another drink. I just can't stand to see a man cry."

"No, it's not that. This day is the worst of my life. First, I fall asleep, and I go late to my office. My boss, outrageous, fires me. When I leave the building, to my car, I found out it was stolen. The police said that they can do nothing. I get a cab to return home, and when I leave it, I remember I left my wallet and credit cards there. The cab driver just drives away."

"I go home, and when I get there, I find my wife in bed with the gardener. I leave home, and come to this bar. And just when I was thinking about putting an end to my life, you show up and drink my poison."

Info Wanted: Do I need to do an OT preservation dvd?

There are a LOT of differing versions on here - but don't let that deter you from doing your own set.

A wealth of information on all aspects of creating a dvd set from the laserdiscs is floating around here and the lads who do them are more than happy to take questions and give tips.

It may be an idea to get hold of a couple of the sets that take your interest to see the quality and give you ideas on what has been done.


If you're a Brit then I'd recommend getting a PAL set (ie Moth3r's OT set), although all the others play fine too.

Good luck...

good call charlie


I don't ever recall seeing a Prequel Trilogy only cover here at all.

AbsoluteDestiny has been kind enough send me his file on his OT cover - posted a page or 2 back - and from that I'm hoping to come with something for the Prequel Trilogy.

Be warned though, my skills are extremely limited, and it will be a basic looking inksaver (predominantly white) cover.


Hopefully one of the very skilled lads and laddesses on here will also knock something up too...

Terrible songs that you secretly like... (aka the all-too-brief OT.com boyband thread)

Second thoughts - I'll be the accountant

Britain still has no extradition teaties with Brazil, does it Ric?



More shocking songs that make it my ears...

Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' and the Jan Hammer's 'Miami Vice Theme'


though I am a child of the '80s and am therefore a sucker for a mean drumbeat or synth based track

Hi Russ - the 1994 fullscreen ROTJ cover is one that’s not seen too often - I don’t think I’ve ever seen that one before.

Good luck with the rest of the project m8 - the more PAL goodness being backed up forever, the better

If you need any help on info for the UK releases try the bbfc.co.uk website - they are surprisingly friendly lot for a bunch of censors - and have vast info on every film released in UK cinemas AND on tape.

Definately m8 - I do wonder over time if scenes from the Prequels will be thought of in the same way?


On a different level as a teenage lad the Leia bikini scenes from ROTJ sort of stick in the memory

The Bizzle said:

From what I understand (had a Genesis not the SNES) but Super ESB is considered one of the 3 hardest games ever made. EVER.

Care to list the other 2 you’re thinking of mate?

Is one of them Jet Set Willy on the commodore64 or spectrum? I spent hours, if not days, as a kid trying to complete that - only to enter a room ‘wrong’ and lose all my lives. A little frustrating in that it took around 5 hours to complete the game - and no saves or time to rest etc…
 

As for the Super Star Wars series - bloody difficult but do remember them as highly addictive games 😃
