Nope.

I feel this could have been a bit longer and more in-depth than it is, like actually looking at the game some more than just the sort of "making of" element. Still, maybe a channel to check out for boardgame stuff?

Another IGN "First" thing. They're doing pretty well with their coverage of late. Just a short video looking at the tweaked skill tree letting you add perks to your perks (as I'm to understand it)

Minority Report I think someone mentioned something on Reddit so I gave it a rewatch. It's overall held up quite well, though I think in part because it pioneered many modern "digital" filming techniques. Some of the 3D, especially with the cars, is pretty suspect though. (though on 3D and the cars, given time has now passed and we're more familiar with 3D printing I noted that in the scene in the Lexus factory they're using stereolithography to print the cars in a pool of polymer liquid). Another interesting element in watching it years later is recognising so many of the actors now. When it first came out I was quite young so picking up on actors wasn't really a thing for me at the time (heck most of what I watched was cartoons, and Tom Hanks may be a super famous actor but my siblings only recognised him when I covered their eyes and they realised the guy talking was Woody). So yeah Peter Stormare as the dodgy eye surgeon (<3 Stormare, first lodged into my mind in Prison Break, which was ~10 years ago now I think), a brief shot of Ethan from Lost as the receptionist. The head of the PreCrime unit is more recently has been "totally unexplained guy" in TFA who is all "to me she will always be a princess". Oh the jetpack police were way lamer than you'd think from the phrase "jetpack police". Tom Cruise was all Tom Cruisey though. Damn his space religion, he's a great action star. I'll be honest, no idea how they planned to scale it up to a nationwide system except maybe cloning? It was explained that they were pretty much a fluke. I feel it could have cut out a little bit of the world building, and shorten the jetpack police sequence to maybe include a bit more internal musing on the fact they're arresting people based on predictions. It obviously was fine within the films world cos they'd won the vote to roll it out nationwide. Cruise only took issue with it when he found out there was a "minority report" where in some cases there would be differences in their predictions.

Hey it's another Marvel show. Also I guess regarding MST3K

This is pretty neat. Very simple story telling but it works with what they've got.

Told my step-mum her NES Mini was a collectors item now. She bemoaned that the only good game on it was Super Mario Bros.

Saint's Row 2 is currently free on GOG, and the others are available through GOG Connect if you've got them on Steam.

Not even sure it's "head canon", there's a few episodes with, I forget his name but a defect clone that continued ageing and iirc was same batch as rex n co.

Could be interesting, tbh my main appeal to watching the trailer is that I used to live on the outskirts of Wakefield. And something a lot speedier than the above: a 15 second long trailer that's pretty much possible to be the entire film in retrospect.

GotG Vol Mix 2 playlist: And someone threw together a Spotify playlist (which holy crap embeds in the forum)

Don't you live in a state famed for its complete and utter lack of any geographical deviation that might be called even generously a "mound" let alone any hills? Whereas Gerbil is in Wales which has some nice hills and valleys. But similar to Mal the issue of things being a bit wet.

https://starcraft.com/en-us/articles/20674424 Starcraft is free. That's a deal right?

We must use this GE to get rid of the "saboteurs" of the brexit process, those who would rather we remain! Oh wait... edit: Also for the GE to go ahead it'd require a super majority that conservatives don't have. If it wasn't for the fact Labour is a totally piss poor "opposition" at the moment tories wouldn't even manage to pass it and in stead would be passing a vote that they're shit government But yeah, crappy labour opposition.

"preserved old timey things" is one of our greatest traditions, going back millennia.

I quite liked this episode. I guess I should watch the Xmas special at some point too.

Stallone has been revealed as "I'm here to talk to you about the Expendables initiative" edit: There's also five post-credit scenes. http://screenrant.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-2-post-credits-scenes/

Oh. I've just looked that up and that's pretty sad. I wonder what happened to the first child that goes "you know, this'd make a lot more sense on a hill instead of a flat lawn"

You paint your egg, and go find a decent hill and roll it down and first to the bottom is the winner. It's a nice thing to do with kids. You never do that Thursday?

I've started on Stiens:Gate. Like I can see the time travel aspect can be quite interesting but the main dude is kinda annoying so far. I feel like he's a badly done less loveable Flint Lockwood (Cloudy with Chance of Meatballs). But I'm gonna stick with it. Only a couple episodes in so far.

and then it'll bend and he'll have to get a new one.

Oh like what you'd get in a selection tray? I guess that'd be a thing in more high end chocolates. I don't tend to get easter eggs from french boutique bakeries so not something I've personally seen. Mainly ones from Cadburys, Nestle n Mars (though my sister had managed to win a pretty decent sized Thorntons egg...which came with selection tray type chocolates but all in a single bag. I helped her with the praline and toffee chocolates (two chocolates, it wasn't "praline & toffee").

A Dutch documentary, though so far seems to be in English. I'd guess when interviewing the guys at Guerrilla you'll be needing subtitles. From what I've gathered this far in, it's kind of Dutch equivalent of Horizon (heh :/) or Panorama so it's not from a "focused solely on games" thing and more a excuse to look at games due to the success of a dutch games studio (maybe?).
