Absolutely Anything. It's.. a bit of an odd beast of a film actually. It's not bad, it has some amusing moments. Simon Pegg as the teacher who gets handed absolute reality altering power by a group of aliens deciding the fate of the Earth. Said council being voiced by the surviving Monty Python cast. I think the main issue is the cast - you have a some very good people, with hardly anything to do. Kate Beckinsale as the girl next door, Eddie Izzard as the dictatorial Head Teacher, even Robin Williams doing the voice of the dog (once it gets given speech). With that sort of backing you expect a whole lot more because of them and it just fails to reach a level it should. So the rather average nature of it all seems to make it seem worse than it actually is.

Fallout 4 is coming soon.. is there a new OB Fallout Scheduled?
Raithe replied to dava4444's topic in Computer and Console
I have to admit I got caught up in the initial burst of exploring the world, but I've hit this point where I've probably discovered about 70%+ of the various locations and am finding it quite hard to start the game up to play the quests and run through the storyline. And when I do manage to get the burst of enthusiasm to start playing it again, I find I only manage to play for half an hour to an hour or so. Not the get buried in it and slam through large chunks in any one session type of play. -
On the purely random, and highly unlikely chance that folks lurking around here haven't got or played it before.. Jade Empire is free on Origin at the moment.

That, and the damn radiant quests that keep turning places you've cleared into yet another pack of raiders. I think I've got the Corvega Factory cleared about 7 times now. And then oh look, in the space of two days, another raider group have apparently moved in, set up shop and started threatening settlements which send me right back there. -

Er, well .. Yeah obviously I am! Think about it folks, it makes sense! First the evil villainous baldheaded look.. plus all the beautiful women he has hanging onto his arms. Right, does this mean we can expect you to turn up with a femme fatale daughter named Aura soon? -
But for the Doctor Who fans out there.. Peter Jackson filmed a mini-episode to announce he'll be directing a Doctor Who episode

Out of curiosity I watched an episode of Into the Badlands. One more slightly cheesy post-apocalyptic setting, with what turns out to be some quite snerkworthy fight sequences. They're doing the wonders of wire-fu and really amusing bone breaks and twists. io9 - Into the Badlands brings Martial Arts back to American tv

So I changed a single pixel colour on my picture and re-uploaded it. Does that count as changing it? <whistles innocently> -

Raithe replied to dava4444's topic in Computer and Console
Then there are jarring things, like you do the memory retrieval with Doctor Amari, and find out about the Glowing Sea quest.. Then later you're talking to the Brotherhood of Steel and they know everything about it without you telling them, and its not like Danse was a companion at the time either. So wow, apparently the Elder is omniscient and has all these details regardless. -

National Anthems Summarized Most national anthems can be boiled down to “Isn’t it great the war’s over?”, “Let’s all stand together” and/or “Our nation is great because God is on our side”. But there are a select few that take a different approach… “Wilhelmus” (Netherlands): My name is William of Nassau. I’m Dutch and super-religious. “God Save the Queen” (United Kingdom): Don’t let our Queen down, God. “Himno Nacional del Perú” (Peru): We’re finally free! Let’s hope it stays that way. “Hino Nacional Brasileiro” (Brazil): Brazil is ****ing rad. “Der er et Yndigt Land” (Denmark): Denmark is really pretty. “Himnusz” (Hungary): Hey, God, remember all those times you helped Hungarians? Yeah, keep doing that. “Hymne Monégasque” (Monaco): Hi! We’re Monaco. Here’s some stuff about us you should know. “Mexicanos, al Grito de Guerra” (Mexico): Start **** with Mexico, and we will **** you up. “Gloria al Bravo Pueblo” (Venezuela): People who shake off oppression are awesome. “El Gran Carlemany” (Andorra): Charlemagne was cool. “İstiklâl Marşı” (Turkey): We have a pretty sweet flag. “The Star-Spangled Banner” (United States): Hey, so I know there’s a war going on over there and all, but would you mind telling me if they’re still flying our flag? “God Defend New Zealand” (New Zealand): Defend us, God! (Also, isn’t is great how “Zealand” rhymes with “free land”?) “Mongol Ulsiin Töriin Duulal” (Mongolia): Let’s do our best, everyone! “My Belarusy” (Belarus): We are very nice people. “Pincez Tous vos Koras, Frappez les Balafons” (Senegal): Our national anthem is more African than your national anthem. “Limba Noastră” (Moldova): We are super-excited about our language. “Zdravlijca” (Slovenia): We just really like drinking.

The thing that I found weirdly funny in a way is hearing the news that protests were formed outside some stores with a "No Black Friday, have Black Lives Matter Day" types of slogan. But that should probably go into a political/sociology thread rather than the funny things..
