War of the Worlds was alright I thought.

There were some moments where the film got pretty dark in its portrayal of human terror (that bit at the ferry station comes to mind).

The Cruise Missile was pretty good as a deadbeat dad who has to "step it up".

That little girl was such a cunt though, made me root for the aliens somewhat.

 

[Qasiel]

The only decent thing I could find about the film was the wonderful image of Scientologist Tom Cruise getting sucked into an alien machine's arsehole.

That little girl was such a cunt though, made me root for the aliens somewhat.

The son wasn't much better either. Whiny little shit.

PAH! L.A. 2017 is where it's at.

Actually, my copy of Duel just arrived yesterday.

Columboing is the act of exiting an area after an activity only to turn around at the last minute and continue said activity. Most often seen in: Porn.

It's so bad it's good, I really enjoyed playing this terrible terrible game on PS4 recently. So many laughs

Duel and Smokey & The Bandit were my two favourite movies as a kid, I used to go round my mates and watch them over and over. Big plate of toast and jam, matchbox cars all over the carpet, then we'd try to re-enact the scenes/aimlessly smash cars into each other until one of us acquiesced.

Ah, good times.

I discovered why people don't buy off little woods. I ordered bravely default from them last thursday, and all their tracker says it will be delivered by the 8th, which it hasn't been, and then I got an email saying it will be delivered at some point before the 14th, so its done goofing up my schedule.

 

[Qasiel]

The first and only thing I ordered off Littlewoods was my N64. They called up 2 days later to say that it'd been cancelled due to it being out of stock. The next day it turned up, so my Mum called them to see what was going on but they still said that it was marked as cancelled so it couldn't possibly have been delivered.

So yeah, free N64 courtesy of Littlewoods.

 

[Volotaire]

I remember when Littlewoods was with Index, a competitor against Argos.

I don't purchase anything off Littlewoods unless it's in HUKD. Which means never because they generally charge high prices.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Do little woods still have physical stores in the UK? They don't in Ireland, but I remember there being quite a large one in Birkenhead.

 

[Little Old Man]

Good luck SuperSah for tomorrow!
You've no doubt smashed it!

 

[Qasiel]

There used to be a large one in a town near me in London, but that closed down years ago. I bought loads of blank CD-Rs which kept me going for a few years during the closing down sale.

Blessing in disguise.

 

[Volotaire]

Now I have been searching for Index related materials and found the 1993 Index catalogue on YT. It's before my time, but great memories as a kid scrawling through catalogues and looking at GB/GBC/N64/PSone/Dreamcast and gleefully wishing I could own at least one system.

i remember enjoying it way back when, and i think when the game opens up i still will, but geez the cinematic side of things hasn't aged well at all. can't wait for final fantasy xii rerelease to remind everyone it's the best of the bunch.
as an aside, it's a weird feeling playing last of us again and being underwhelmed by what was arguably the best looking playstation 3 game. this gen. didn't seem like a big step forward but the culmination of a lot of little things really improves the experience, graphically at least.


also huzzah! got an interview.

Your challenge is to somehow incorporate a specific Tidus quote into your interview. The quote is "HA. HA. HA. HA. HA. HAHA. HA. HA. HA." You will be awarded bonus points if you still get the job.

(Good luck!)

That's not even the worst part of the story. The narrative is fucking terrible and the voices are beyond awful. Some lines are just splurted out, it is so bizarre. One of the best things about it is how after dramatic scenes the characters will rotate on their axis and leave. It never stops being funny.

The game part of X is great though!

i tookthe dress code being business formal to mean 'the g-string and shorts rikku wears in ffx-2' so throwing in a tidus line will only seal the deal, i think.

There was a thread about FFX last week in which people were trying to convince me that the story is the greatest piece of literature humanity has created.

It was painful.

It was this thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1090074

It's all my fault though, the story is definitely on par with Fitzgerald, Heller, Tolstoy, the problem was entirely that I didn't "understand" it. It was so complex, like.

In other news, fans of mclusky and/or Future of the Left will be interested to hear that Falco has just released a new Christian Fitness record. Ten glorious songs over on bandcamp!

I thought FFX was garbage. But I think every JRPG I've played is. I'm not interested in teenage dramas, especially not convoluted ones.

You should try FFXII when it gets remastered, it's different and amazing

it is pretty garbage, especially now the sheen of impressive graphics/presentation has lost its lustre, but i am a bit partial to some nostalgia.

Hi! I'm a highly strung drama queen but don't take any of it personally! Nice to meet you 😁

Greetings wallflower.

But mind you lern to spel Cinzano proper or there mite be trouble.

Dammit. Just noticed I forgot to take my rugby kit off after the Six Nations - oh well, roll on the World Cup.

Anyone else going to join us in UK PoliGAF while all this Labour Leadership thing is going on? I'm hanging my hat on Corbyn and Creasy, and may the consequence be that we live in interesting times.

Edit: sploatee is a highly strung drama queen. You heard it here first second.

Good on you!

I decided long ago never to walk in anyone's shadow. By which I mean I think having principles is more important than being 'Westminster' ie what the press see as electable. I can't stand the rest of them. They're just more of the same and there's enough of the same already.
