Seb – I screengrabbed it myself after stumbling over it, I hadn’t noticed it in the original image you posted (teeny writing, no clicky)

American based people – Netflix is new in the UK and as far as I can make it out it has a fairly scattergun approach to what films and series are included, probably copyright permissions and the like. It has a good spread of BBC and Channel 4 shows, some ITV, a few early series of US shows (Scrubs, Weeds, 24 and the like) and a few anime series like Ghost in the Shell.

Films get odd with examples like Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey but not Excellent Adventure, Evil Dead 1 but not its sequels, the 2nd Pirates of the Caribbean and a whole host of mildly interesting films but not the ones you necessarily want (couldn’t find Die Hard anywhere)

Miss Flibble – I think they may have based their tags on Series 7 Kryten darling.

Bliss is of course also in Batman, Aeon Flux and various other sci fi works as described here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_medicines_and_drugs

Also, by destroying the ganger and its psychic link it stops whoever set up the situation from using it to track the movements of the Doctor.

On topic – Just rewatched “Gridlock” – New New York (Futurama reference there?) is wiped out by the new designer drug – Bliss. It’s not specified that it’s so addictive that they got hooked by looking at it but as every skellington has a patch in that Senate it might as well be

Yeah, I should get back to work…

[Fluffy Wok]

Thanks for all the lovely messages guys.

Here has been my attempt to rock things up.;

[Fluffy Wok]

>Lou Scannon… I see what you did there.

Wait, what? Is it supposed to be a…. Oh, I get it!

[Fluffy Wok]

That was awesomes!

Seriously, very well done, well written and with a good blend of humour and action. Brill

I took my version of the RPG to be signed at this DJ as it was the only thing I thought to grab that was big enough to write lots of names in and had all the guests who were there in one item. Chris Barrie took a quick flick through it saying he’d never seen it before and John Lenahan started talking about how he loved D and D and used to play Magic the Gathering back in the day.

I’ve only played it twice, GMing (or AI ing as its described in the book) both times because I was trying to teach the rules to the Mrs and her brother. first scenario I ever wrote up was Ace saving a princess from a nazi bunker and he kicked so much arse it was ludicrous, especially when he saved a Kinatawowi from a cell who tags along like Chewie, ripping the arms off helpless nazis.

The second game was Rimmer and Cat running around on a derelict being chased by a mutton vindaloo beast and poor Rimsy can only crap his pants behind a box until the Cat made himself look big and scared it off.

I don’t understand vinyl. Not been enough of a music buff to “get it” as a format. So don’t own any or have bought any.

First cassette was I think the abridged audio version of “Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers” as read by the broad vocal talents of Mr. Barrie (I especially used to do his Petersen impression all the time at school). Either that or a Lenny Henry stand up recording.

First CDs (bought at the same time) was at a second hand music place in Cambridge and from the bargain bin (starting as I mean to go on…) and was Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits and Crossroads by Mr Jon Bon Jovi (including both Always and Livin on a Prayer)

First DVD may actually have been South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut which I would watch on a PC until we bought an Asda dvd player in our 2nd year of university. It’s double sided meaning you have the film on one side and you flip it for special features. I get far too many DVDs from 2nd hand/formerly rental dvd places and among the gems found therein have included a version of Starship Troopers where you have to change the sides on the dvd: after they’ve completed training and get their lasered on unit tattoos halfway through the film you get a message saying “Please insert Side 2”.

First Bluray has been Alice in Wonderland within one of the combo boxes you get with a DVD in the box. As we haven’t got an HD TV yet (damn university!) we haven’t started the whole bluray upgrade.

And Fight Club is manly, cannon gay: Edward Norton’s character is genuinely jealous of Helena Bonham Carter’s as she gets to fuck the sweaty, marigold-wearing, washboard-abbed Brad Pitt. Moulin Rogue is soft gentle gay with singing and Tuberculosis. I enjoyed both for different reasons which I will not comment on.

[Fluffy Wok]

I would have had 29 but I can’t spell “Bartakovski”

[Fluffy Wok]

Damnit, 28

[Fluffy Wok]

I just read back through the Shane G log. You guys seem to have a talent for pissing off people beautifully. Has everyone here just got more polite or are people less prickly than they used to be over what a random group drabble about on forums?

[Fluffy Wok]

>There are 3 good episodes in Who series 5

Surely you mean “There are 3 mind blowingly awesome episodes of ultimate win in Who series 5 and the rest are just hum drum fantastic” Apart from the Lodger. Can’t stand James Corden. or pot noodle

[Fluffy Wok]

> Okay. I never saw that. I just thought they were buddies really.

Young confused buddies with the master servant relationship and all that entails. Me and the Mrs have been re-watching series 1 Merlin and its a bit more obvious there I think.

>When Arthur isn’t putting him down…

Oh, I’m sure Merlin doesn’t have to be forced to go down…

>>> Richard Armitage

>>> Mmmmmmmmmmmm………

>> SRSLY?

>YA SRSLY! ^__^

I don’t hear the end of this. He’s hotter in Spooks than Hood/Vicar of Dibley but I guess I’m not gay enough to have a proper opinion.

>Merlin bloody rocks.

But there’s no Karen Gillan. Katie McGrath is alright but its not really a contest.

[Fluffy Wok]

Hood SRSLY?

To be honest I’ve only seen a bit of Hood and it had a similar feel to Merlin although with a slightly older cast it didn’t have that silly, dress up feel that Merlin has. Or the blatant homo-erotic subtext.

Plus Richard Armitage really got into the eyeliner box. But comparing his characterisation with the ham sandwich fest that is any evil character in Merlin is a bit pot kettle black.

[Fluffy Wok]

Oh, Bog all.

No Dr Who/Dwarf/other related sci fi news

Geeking about Merlin doesn’t really cut it

[Fluffy Wok]

>Red Dwarf fan Dave Ford, 31, who lives in the city centre, waited outside for an >hour-and-a-half before meeting the celebrities.

>The porter at Royal Derby Hospital took along a DVD box set to get signed.

>He said: “It was well worth the wait.”

>Other fans got kisses from the pair.

‘Other fans’? Poor Dave

[Fluffy Wok]

> Robert Llewellyn (Red Dwarf) as Roman Sionis/ Black Mask

I’m sorry, what? The only possible basis for a link between Bobbie and a disenfranchised, psychotic crime lord is that Bobbie has worn a mask as part of his costume before.

Surely Karen Gillan as Batgirl? Or someone else who can realistically look young enough to be Philip Glenister’s daughter.

BTW: Awesome poster p2p

[Fluffy Wok]

> Ackerman seems to turn up in the strangest places. Like Highlander and Hulk vs Thor.

Yeah, only got round to watching Rambo (4) the other day, he’s in that too. Crazyness

> Martin Freeman is perfect, though.

Yeah, much better than the first person I thought it was going to be that had me shouting “Travesty! He can’t be Bilbo, he’s God!” It turned out I had misheard the missus and Morgan Freeman wasn’t going to be the new Bilbo. It would have been a bit weird having to explain how when he turns Eleventy One he becomes white….

[Fluffy Wok]

> Additional: I reckon it’s the first anniversay of Rimmer’s death in ‘Thanks for the Memory’ due to there being only one candle on the cake Lister baked for Rimmer.

Either that or the Cat civilization found wax a precious commodity for beauty treatments and melted all they could find, making that last candle found a sacred item, the last of its kind in the universe.

[Fluffy Wok]

> Bargain Cunt

I’m not sure whether to think this would be the greatest show ever or trust my instinctive reaction when I read the title of vomiting a little in my mouth.

also,

Cuntenders
Coronation Cunt
MasterCunt
Junior MasterCunt
Great British Cunt
Cunt or no Cunt
Top Cunt
Britain’s Next Top Cunt

and variations on the above.

You see as a joke wears on over a period of a few days, the metaphorical horse gets weaker and weaker until it dies and you’re left just beating a big carcass with a stick

[Fluffy Wok]

> for good or bad, nothing in the “Recommendations” section is fictional. They’re all actual quotations

I wanted to believe so much that this was true. Its so nice to see that life really is stranger than fiction.

[Fluffy Wok]

I haven’t seen one, no one has, but I’m assuming its a dead horse covered in whip lesions

[Fluffy Wok]

There’s prostitutes?

[Fluffy Wok]

> See you in ten minutes?

The line that killed my dreams.

[Fluffy Wok]

I did actually have a point to make, reading back through the posts people made comments based on the best intentions; the interpretation of comments and their effect on somebody else. While this is a touching example of the human race in action it seems to have taken an arguement about nothing and whirlwinded it into an arguement about less than nothing.

The nature of offence and how someone inteprets the hastily written word is such that we intepret a situation based on the minimum of information, a two minute video and twenty lines of text and now we feel we know this person. I can defend my fellow human to the hilt. The forum is a way to sit on my internet desert island and throw bottles with messages in and wait to see what floats back and I’m not going to understand a situation enough to make a fully informed discourse on it. I am, however, going to voice my opinion. And it will always be ill informed but its still my opinion. I will retract when I know the facts better or have upset someone I didn’t wish to because at the end of the day I’m just chucking bottles and hoping someone else enjoys reading them.

I haven’t managed to catch the Who proms on iplayer, will try when I can. If only to see the lovely Karen who is lovely and I feel completely platonic about. *nods*

> Different garms blud ja get me?

Different what? Oh, Garms, right

I love Urban Dictionary. Helps me feel down with the kids.

Oh and I like cake

[Fluffy Wok]

What’s with the assumption that people who do these things are going to be offended by something someone says very innocuously in a forum for an unconnected fandom? Yes, its hard work, yes it takes a lot of time, yes some people will devote their free time to create something that other people will not be able to just pick up and do and how much free time someone has is neither here nor there. I think no one here is going to have a face to face with this person and say “wow, you’re using a lot of time to make this you could have spent improving the world or curing cancer” because what people do in their free time (or time when they should be working) is up to them.

Its also up to them if they find a comment like “You must have a lot of free time” offensive or not. I personally wouldn’t, it has nothing to do with the work itself and although at worst its a backhanded compliment, it still amounts to a compliment. Why people feel they need to get upset on someone else’s behalf for comments that are clearly not meant with bad intent is beyond me.

[Fluffy Wok]

Big Facial Eruptions?

[Fluffy Wok]

fair nuff. looks pretty awesome still

[Fluffy Wok]

Chocolate coated pretzels?

[Fluffy Wok]

Pretzel? Are they actually doughy or just a combination of complex chemicals injected into a butter icing centre surrounded by unmeltable chocolate?

[Fluffy Wok]

I always thought that with the whole causality thing Marty’s perfect family at the end would mean that Marty would come back different (richer, more like he hadn’t been raised by an alcoholic mother and a spineless father) although the time travel rules in Back to the Future have never really followed logic rigorously.

[Fluffy Wok]

That little girl in no. 16 is made of awesome. And sweeties most likely

[Fluffy Wok]

> O noes! I hope you’ve backed up the lovely ficcage.

I managed to back up stuff before it all went crazys and its all stored now on on my big ugly desktop. No panic.

[Fluffy Wok]

> I defected from the PlayStation camp to the Xbox fortress with this latest generation. Microsoft’s online stuff is just better. Sony have never really had a clue how to properly handle their online infrastructure.

My lack of belief is not so much from the idealogical or online infrastructure and more from the fact that I currently support a four platform habit of pc, wii, ps3 and psp (although spend on the wii and psp is minimal at the moment) The ps3 was a gift from the wife in the days when we were both working full time and could afford such awesome frivolity. Going for a third console now may just make me bankrupt rather than broke.

> And my invitation has been sent :)

Will accept ASAP. spent most of yesterday trying to fix the Missus’ laptop that had a giant electronic aneurysm so didn’t go online.

[Fluffy Wok]

If we’re talking Gamer names I’m on PS3 as fluffy_wok. I don’t believe in xbox, Mr Gates steals enough of my money from my pc needs

[Fluffy Wok]

>I don’t know about Ian, but I would actually like to read that :oP

Seconded…

[Fluffy Wok]

Being charitable I would have to say the photograph is not doing it in any favours. I think an idea may be to get a few direct shots of the faces.

For selling it for the asking price maybe throw in some the making of stuff into the sale, a booklet with photos of maquettes or preliminary sketches. As it is it seems for something the size of an A4 piece of paper its a lot of money for what you would probably want to turn and face the wall when it arrives so you can show off your nice cast signatures.

[Fluffy Wok]

So’s your Mum

[Fluffy Wok]

I thought you might get in there first =)

[Fluffy Wok]

That Rachel Riley, she’s a dirty girl

[Fluffy Wok]

> Ian makes BB digital happen, Danny makes amazing graphics and does awesome impressions, John does really good websites, Tanya is naturally funny (pls see Gypsy Creams) and keeps John in check, P2P is a fantastic editor & graphics person, Joey makes the best chocolate fudge cake you’ll ever taste… that enough for you? ;o)

Yeah, me and my type first think later approach has once again done me no favours and made me look like an inconsiderate dick. You guys are all lovely (especially the ones I have met) and are supremely talented in your chosen areas of expertise.

I was being flippant, I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition =)

[Fluffy Wok]

> However: you know me, and I’m talented, so there.

>And aside from Seb, how about your wonderfully talented wife then? :-P

Ok apart from Seb and my wife: What have the Romans ever done for – I mean I don’t know any one who’s talented.

[Fluffy Wok]

>I know the artist of some of those – Emma Vieceli. Can’t remember which ones specifically she’s done, although I think R&J might have been one.

Thats awesome Seb. Nobody I know is talented at all =)

>What’s ‘Zap! Pow! Kersplat! Die in bed, you Trojan pigdog!’ in Latin?

Best guess:
“Apzay! Owpay! Ersplatkay! Iday in edbay, tu Rojantay Igdogpay! Enyarghgay! Enyarghgay!”

[Fluffy Wok]

Its not too much of a shock, whenever I’m in a book shop I always end up stumbling over manga copies of Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet.

I always thought that the Aeneid is ideal for comic books, we had to translate a bit of it for Latin and it was all gay Greeks killing Italian tribesman. The Illiad is even more so, they had that godawful film that taught us all that the war was over in under a weekend and that Greek ladies don’t wear underwear. I think Virgil would have thought it was awesome.
