Raithe

It was a fairly decent game. I've still got it stashed away. It's got a genericy sort of story that wraps around WoT lore from about 500 years before the books. Basically all the FPS normal array of guns is changed to various ter'amgreal and Channeling, so you get to run around blowing crap up with WoT magic. I never played the multiplayer side of it, but yeah, the single player was entertaining. If it wasn't wrapped up in the WoT lore, it would be a decent FPS, but it just feels an odd genre to use that licence for.

What with the Hurricane damage, I thought I'd start the rumor we're giving Texas back to Mexico, and make them pay for the repairs (scampers for the door).

So another late 80's film gets its reboot, this time as a current tv show to be released next year... Am I really looking forward to Heathers TV show? (Includes the teaser-trailer they've released for it)

For something I threw on the funny things thead, that took a lot of people seriously apparently...

From an American relation of mine : "Could we be the only country dumb enough to start a second civil war because we're offended by the first one?"

Terry Pratchett's unpublished work crushed by steamroller

You know how you can get yourself back into the zone of accomplishing things? I had done that, I'd picked up an exercise bike, started using it regularly to go with door gym and general exercise. Making myself sit down down to juggle admin and prep stuff for return to university in September, some research stuff for some consultants I know, that kick on organising various things around the house... I'd got there, then somehow broke a toe. Which disrupts the return to exercise, and then of course its all the having to keep your foot elevated. Now I'm all procrastination city on even paperwork and some research elements. I keep sliding into the "I'll sort that out later" and get distracted with various sci-fi / fantasy authors via kindle unlimited and suddenly the day is gone.

Sometimes, you have to put politics in the funny thread. Otherwise you might end up crying. On that slight edge of politics but not quite.. Gone with the Wind removed from theater due to racial sensitivity

So with all the scandinavians we have on the boards.. just how true is this?

A bloke walks into a brothel and says:- "I'm a bit kinky, how much for total humiliation?" The madam replies: "£60". "Wow, what do I get for that?" he says. She says: "A season ticket at Highbury Stadium , and an Arsenal shirt "

The Hitman's Bodyguard. A great film about romance. Plus a few amusing banter points between Ryan Reynolds as the Bodyguard and Samuel L Jackson as the Hitman whose tried to kill him 28 times, as they road trip their way from Coventry to Hague to get to the ICC while being hunted by a lot of people.

Of course, they'd likely say "but you could switch profiles and change all three powers with the press of a button once you set the profile"... Which on a certain principle made an interesting idea, but limiting you to three powers and your gun at a single time was.. unwieldy. Especially since you no longer had direct control over what your companions were doing. Which made setting up combos much more of a random element than a strategic one.
