  1. That film was Into The Wild. I don't remember her in that at all. I think that's why I'd struggle to call her a box office draw - she's so unmemorable even if she's not actually bad.
  2. by so bad, you mean so awesome right? That was one of my brother and my favourite films when we were young.
  3. Below are some online games someone picked from a master list of spooky games, short films, art etc. The following games include suspense, flashing pictures and ominous music. Not recommended for those with severe anxiety. Do you have a grudge?: based on the Grudge movie. You basically walk around the house and get to explore it, click on certain parts and you’ll see flickering shadows and long dark hair. Purgatorium: a short and creepy point-and-click escape-the-room game with some rather horrific graphic visuals nestled inside. If you are having problems going through the game just google “Purgatorium walk throughs” and that should help. Exmortis: graphic images, flashing pictures, begins with you waking up in the woods with a lump on your head and unable to recall how you got there. All you recall are the dreams. You’ll see a house up ahead and decide that shelter there is better than freezing to death in the woods. Think of the house at the end of Blair Witch and you’ll be right at home. Hero’s Adventures: If you wanna take a break from the serious horror themes of the above games, here’s a cute little game made pokemon style. Mild horror themes, no graphics, short little game. Slenderman game: Everyone was going crazy over this game back in the days. It is a short, experimental horror game in which you must travel into a dark woods at night, with a simple goal: find 8 pages that are scattered across the woods. There’s just one catch, he might get ya if your not careful. You must download this game to your computer (no charge) Ao Oni: Japanese survival horror game. Although each version differs heavily from the others, the objective is always the same. Locked in a mansion, you explore and solve puzzles while running from an enigmatic demon. You must download this game. Zombie games: This site has a bunch of games where you have to shoot zombies before they get to you. Each game has it’s own story. No terrible graphics. Suitable for kids. Think of it as a break from all the other heavy creepy ones. Red Asylum: Another interactive haunted house game, where you must try to find your way out Deep Sleep: You are stuck inside a nightmare dream. Something lurks in the darkness. Something in the depths of your own mind wants to pull you even deeper. Someone will escape this dream for sure. The question is - who is that going to be? Pretty sweet game. If you are stuck here are some walkthroughs SCP- Containment Breach: puts you in a ‘containment facility’, which is holding a strange and unnerving entity called SCP-173, a sculpture monster that can only move when not in direct line of sight. When unseen, it is extremely hostile and dangerous. You can watch a trailer of it here to get a good idea of the game. You must also download this game to your computer. Had a click through a couple and they're pretty creepy!
  4. Has anyone seen Kirsten Stewart in anything other than Twilight because I often read she wasn't simply wooden in that but playing it that way deliberately, as it's how the character was in the books. Could just be Twilight apologists, but then they're not doing a good job if they're insulting the source material. I can only think of that snow white and the huntsman which I think I enjoyed well enough but can't really remember much about.
  5. Yes. It doesn't always load all the games. I added some this morning then went back to the page later on on there were several more games there that weren't before and sometimes it sends you to a select platform screen which I can't always get past . it takes ages to log in. Every time you load a page you have to wait for it to log you back in. When you finally get to the right page if you try to add all the games to the basket and continue shopping it throws you back to a different screen so you have to start over or if you open all the new games in a new tab it slowly loads the page with a loading gif then logs you in slowly to each of those pages. Then after the page loads, then it takes a while to decide what your purchase status is with the game (ie for the buy price/or download option to appear on the left) Whenever one of those games is multiplatform it is pot luck whether it will say the game is available for you to buy on the second platform you try. Maybe it's different on the NA site? I don't think it's my computer as that's the only site that does it and it does it in different browsers and my phone. Love to hear if it's such a palaver for other UK users. Sorry can't be bothered to fix all the problems with this post on my phone!
  6. that isn't working for me. Oh well. But holy moses, I am continually shocked by how bad the SEN website is no better than the stores on the consoles themselves. It's really painful even just to get my free PSN games each month.
  7. For once the official estimates for battery life are accurate. Easily over 5 hours. E.g. yesterday I watched 2 movies and then played link to the past and the charge was still in the blue zone whereas with the old battery it would sometimes die in the middle of watching a second film. I can't say for definite how long it lasts but to me that is high praise for it. It's at the point now where I really don't think about it. E.g previously when I watched films I'd leave it on the charging stand now I leave it on the table next to me. When I was going to play a 'big' game I used to move the charge cable over to the sofa so it would be ready now I can leave it plugged in on the other side of the room where the cradle is.
  8. I bought the official Nintendo one and would definitely recommend it. Since I bought it I've never had the battery run out on me when before it was a regular annoyance. Can't say anything about third party ones other than general experience I've had with this party stuff and that is that they are not generally worth the saving.
  9. It's not because he's no good anymore. cruise does a good job in his films certainly compared to a lot of action stars from his era, it's just people would go and see a film just because he was the lead a while ago now the world's moved on and audiences don't want a 'movie star' anymore. Everyone wants a hipster hero now, e.g. ones that don't look buff until they take their shirts off, a bit of vulnerability rather than inscrutability - Tom cruise is just not what's in style anymore.
  10. you need an affiliate link for the country the person is buying from (I'm guessing US, UK and CAN), but you don't need to be from that country (i.e. you Dean can be the associate for all 3 countries). Details here. Also, no matter what item your link is for it will track for any purchase that people go on to make after following your link. So if I clicked that Destiny link but ended up buying a teapot you'd still get money.
  11. Dean, do I remember you saying an amazon referral link was no good to use? Just it seems like a lot of people buy stuff on there and I'm sure most of us would be happy to click through from here.
  12. has there been any mention of the modern sections for the new game(s)?
  13. I'll be waiting for the jokes/right wing rhetoric about marrying Toto.
  14. I guess if someone says something vaguely insightful people are going to assume it was you not me that said it, lol/sob.
  15. I can't not see that cross section as a guy's face with massive fly-eyes a goatee and it is super disturbing.
  16. Space-time absolutely melts my head. I always start reading an article thinking this finally make sense to me and by the end I'm more confused than when I started.
  17. what's the main plot? how long ago did you read it? I have the same issue with a travel book where the writer followed the migration of butterflies through Japan. I've been wondering about that one for over a decade and I still have a look for it every now and again. ... OMG, writing that out, I just started thinking, wait, was it butterlies or cherry blossom, because that's more famous in Japan. It was cherry blossom and I found the book. Hokkaido Highway Blues, it's called. So never give up hope!
  18. They admitted he is ill but what I read is that there may be a quiet coup with people in his government trying to take control while he is out of action. Of course with him not being seen in a month it could all just be rumours of who is trying to take control after he is dead. I guess we won't know until whoever is on power wants us to
  19. I'll listen to any arguments to buy gaming PC when we don't have a 24 page PCs for dummies thread. Or do have a 24 page consoles for dummies thread. Either is fine.
  20. I finished Link Between Worlds earlier today. I think it's one of my favourite Zelda games. I had my earphones in a lot of the time as the music was so good. All the classics and the new stuff was really good and perfect for the area it was set in. This is from a stealthy twilit section: That's from Dark Palace which was a probably my favourite dungeon. This one just fills me with joy. When the choir kicks in I can't help but smile. How does it rate in your list of Zelda games? It think it had an almost perfect mix of the old and new zelda styles. It's mademe really hope they keep on track with th new wii u game. I don't think I can take their interminable delays for that game
  21. I'm happy with a short game, and don't subscribe to the hours per pound (dollar) value model and I liked Monument Valley better than the Room, but it was kind of jarringly short. It really only felt like they'd created the introductory levels for each chapter of a decent length game and it was over just as I was starting to get in to it.
  22. I'm playing The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. I'm slightly annoyed with myself as I promised myself I'd finish A Link to the Past first but for whatever reason I can't seem to get on with that game (I seem to run out of steam when I get to the dark world). Really enjoying this new one though. I kept going past places and thinking I'll have to come back here when I have [weapon] to access that bit but my memory is miles too pants for that so I found a patch of grass by the bee dude and kept catching bees until I could buy all the weapons. I'm telling myself that's not cheating though it may make the game a bit shorter that's no bad thing in my mind. I just now got to Lorule so I guess this is the big test but I feel it will pass with flying colours.
  23. Anyone heard anything about Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines on vita? It looks interesting but can't get on my computer to find more details at the moment. I think the original was import only on PS one. Here's a Japanese trailer, can't find English one atm
  24. Vecha, can you let us (me) know what Lego city undercover is like when you give it a go. I've been interested in it but it's still £40 and I'm struggling to justify that sort of money on it.
  25. Your post says 64 bit, FDS. Your reply to me makes more sense though.
