Phil – you’re crazy! I need to learn your Megaman skills! I know it’s all patterns but WOW!

I feel left out now with all the friend code sharing! I need to get a 3DS to get in on this! If anyone wants to hit me up on PSN in the meantime, I’m takerdemon

Put G&T in the message so I know who you are, I don’t generally add people I don’t know in some capacity.

[takerdemon]

Performingmonkey – what did you think of Run Fatboy Run? I remember thinking it was underappreciated at the time; at least a few of the gags were but I’m interested in your take on it. I remember admiring A Fantastic Fear of Everything’ for being different and mildly amusing but I’m not sure I’d go as far as saying I liked it.

I really need to see Hot Fuzz again, it deserves another appraisal.

[takerdemon]

Phil – That response makes sense, it’s the way I’ve felt about many games. Maybe I need to buy a 3DS and give it a whirl… if I still don’t get it then I can get Mario Kart and the Mario Bros to compensate me.

I must say though, good choice on the Mega Man front. I love those games and I can definitely see them as some sort of therapy although I think you must be a bit sadistic because those games are TOUGH! Come to think of it, I don’t think I ever did beat the final boss of Mega Man 2… that’s my objective for 2013 sorted!

[takerdemon]

Am I the only human being in the world that loves video games but doesn’t get Animal Crossing? What’s the appeal?

I enjoyed a quick dabble in Pokemon back in the day and the other Nintendo mainstays (Mario, Mario Kart, Zelda etc.) but the appeal of this one eludes me.

Maybe I’ve been ruined by playing too much Playstation Vita…

Speaking of which, if anyone owns one then you certainly need to play Persona 4 Golden. An utterly bonkers yet absorbing JRPG.

I saw it last week and it’s odd for me to weigh up. When I first saw SotD, I didn’t love it upon my first viewing. I got it on DVD for cheap one Christmas, decided to give it another go and astonishingly, it dawned on me that it was one of the strongest comedy movies of the 21st century.

Hot Fuzz and The World’s End both had more immediate laughs for me than SotD, although I suspect it’s largely because I “got” the humour by this point. Although, whilst those films both seemed more immediate to me, Fuzz at least feels a lot more hollow than SotD upon repeat viewings. I suspect World will end up being more in the Fuzz camp than SotD.

That being said though, I laughed a fair old bit so I can’t be too down on it. It’s certainly better than 99% of the supposed comedy that infects our cineplexs each year.

…and yes Jo, you should have punched her in the face or at least given her a flying dropkick to the neck.

[takerdemon]

Seb, I know this is not news to you but you are a wonderful human being.

[takerdemon]

Peas – I love AVGN! It’s puerile and crass but what can I say? I love it!

I don’t still have my Atari 2600 but I sure do remember it, it was the first console I ever played. I recall playing the God-awful port of Pac-Man on it and Spider-man. I had the Smurfs too but that game never worked… good ol’ black screen cartridges!

[takerdemon]

I can’t wait to hear Douglas banging on about sexy sex again. Perhaps another Chris Morris cameo from beyond the grave too?

[takerdemon]

Best thread title so far in 2013

[takerdemon]

Lister uses a jet ski to jump over a giant shark on an ocean planet

[takerdemon]

That Cappsy is a helpful fellow isn’t he? Much love to all!

[takerdemon]

Is it bad that whilst I’m excited about this, I’m kinda sad this thread wasn’t about the pub in Camden of the same name?

[takerdemon]

I missed many of you sadly although those of you I did run into were as awesome as I’d expected. I’m thinking for DJXVIII, we’ll have to arrange a little G&T mixer session in advance to ensure that we all manage to meet everyone because clearly some of us (i.e. me) aren’t great at hunting people down!

Still, those of you I did meet we frickin’ great. T’was a great way to bust my DJ cherry.

[takerdemon]

I’ll be sky +ing much of this. Loved Knightmare. I cried with laughter at some of the episodes they showed over the last old school weekend!

[takerdemon]

I’ve run into one or two of you but not enough of you… I’m sorting that sonic top so come day hi or at least jump around so I know who you are!

[takerdemon]

It is indeed.

[takerdemon]

Thanks Cozi! I completely forgot about the car parking! Putting that in the sat nav when I get home!

I’ve decided to wear a Sonic the Hedgehog t-shirt tomorrow and a Megaman wristband (just so you can recognise the pixelated blue guy) so there’s something recognisable upon my person so if you see me, say “Hi” or at least tell me to “Fuck right off”.

Must say I’m also pretty psyched about Tony Hawks. I probably have loads of questions to ask but I’m more than happy to hear him tell some strange tales from quite a unique career.

[takerdemon]

Seems like a lot of us solo artists are attending. If anyone wants to pair up, I’m game. If you’re a gorgeous lady then even better. Personality optional.

Yes, I’m shallow.

[takerdemon]

I think it’s probably a good thing for my wallet that I can’t buy things by credit card.

I know that we’ll end up running into each other anyway but is there gonna be an unofficially official G&T drink/photo? Just so we have it for the memories (or police identification).

[takerdemon]

I’ve not listened to any of these yet, somehow they escaped my radar however my interest has piqued. Will be listening as soon as I’m back from Prague… if I don’t get murdered and raped that is. Which in fairness is just as likely to happen in Central London as it is in Prague!

[takerdemon]

I need to invest in a Megaman shirt just to make it obvious to all who I am or as least how fucking old I am.

[takerdemon]

Alex, well up for that buddy. We need a G&T callsign to identify oneselves, we’re not all as recognisable as the G&T main cast!

[takerdemon]

“Do me a lemon! That’s a poor IQ for a glass of water.”

“His daughter?”

That’s a load of Tottenham that is, it’s a steaming pile of Hotspur.

[takerdemon]

Lots of first timers for DJ (of which I’m one) though I’m apprehensive about freshman style initiation! Hopefully we’re not required to be bent over and used as a toast rack.

[takerdemon]

1 2 3 4 Canada deserves more… Money!

[takerdemon]

“So I thought they’d flushed him down the bog”

“No, that’s me over there. That pile of albino mouse droppings”

[takerdemon]

Why does it have to be such a big deal? Why can’t it be like, like, human beings are a planetary disease?

That’s the closest I could get with that one, well played Bromley!

Mine…

“Prince of the planet potters”

[takerdemon]

Si – that’s what I mean! The thought process behind putting a big cardboard box in as a major plot device just for the hell of it. Genius! I was trying to rack my brains on whether they ever topped it (intentionally or not) in later episodes.

I must say the version of the sci-scan in back to earth is also wonderfully shit especially the old school ‘bit crap’ display!

[takerdemon]

I simply cannot hate anything that features a prop as shit as the Holly Hop Drive!

Worst on screen prop in Dwarf history?

[takerdemon]

Bugger! I can’t make it after all. People having these birthdays take the piss! Why can’t they make it easy and make them the same day each year so I actually remember!

Have a good time though y’all!

[takerdemon]

No no no! You’ve given it new life! I played it a few weeks ago… classic game. Seb’s right too, I recall the music just from his blurb on it there.

I must say as good as it was, I enjoyed Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine just as much; even if it did have an awful title.

[takerdemon]

All I ask is that Geordie Michael is heavily featured

[takerdemon]

Has Danny Dyer ever made a good film?

I remember someone getting fucked up the arse with a rifle in one of his films (Straightheads) and after that, I vowed never to watch one again. I’m making good on that promise.

[takerdemon]

Thanks for the heads up Ian. I’m very much up for this.

[takerdemon]

I’m often heard to remark “but you were an utter TWAT” since Trojan first aired.

I’ve also picked up the annoying line of “Hey go, pip and dandy”

[takerdemon]

Unless you’re a pleasure GELF,
I want you for the foreseeable,
Let’s lay down, move back and forth,
In that way humans find so agreeable.

Might be okay for a short-term relationship.

[takerdemon]

Red Dwarf is the one show that I could sit with my entire family and watch without one person moaning… that’s quite exceptional given that I have 4 younger sisters. Looking at it in hindsight, entertaining 5 kids and 2 adults with 1 program was nigh on impossible but the Dwarf managed it!

[takerdemon]

The link is broken for me but I think I get the point from the link name.

I must admit that I never really got the joke because I had no clue what RFYW was and I’m far too lethargic to look things like that up.

[takerdemon]

I feel much better now I know Out of Time is getting some love!

Although, the fact that Krytie TV got in at 37 on my list my revile me to others around these parts. What can I say? Sometimes I like a cheap laugh and Robert saying “Kryttiiie Tveeee” does that perfectly for me.

[takerdemon]

Christ, this threa reminds me that I need to submit mine.

It looks like I’m the only one that REALLY loves Out of Time and the haphazard manner in which it was put together!

[takerdemon]

I’ve blogged all about this, like all good hipsters (yeah right!) do these days.

Not particularly sad for HMV but am sad for those who will lose their jobs and the high street in general. It’s a tumultuous time to be a music/film/tv fan especially if you cling to physical media.

Selfishly, I just don’t know where to spend my lunchtimes now! Although I thank my lucky stars that I spent my HMV vouchers on Monday before they pulled the shutters down.

[takerdemon]

Actually after reading Fozzi’s entry, I may reconsider what the best is…

I’d like to go round Legoland with Sean Connery and then go for a lovely lamb lunch in the middle of Windsor.

[takerdemon]

Mine was Statis Leak. I was 6-8 years old at the time and As I recall my dad was watching it on VHS on Christmas Day. I remember sitting with him and bugging him with question after question about it. Something about it instantly hooked me because those dingy VHS tapes of his that contained all of the first run two series recorded suddenly became mine.

[takerdemon]

No beard!?! Then Treguard is indeed dead!

[takerdemon]

I have yet to see a negative review of Knightmare from this past weekend’s viewers. In fact, the show they had on I wasn’t sure about (given it was a later series) but the dungeoneer that had was great. That guy could talk. I remember one part where he’s encountering an evil chap with a girl captured in stocks and he simply says “Oh well, can’t I just go away then?” Brilliant TV.

[takerdemon]

Things I learned from this weekend:

– Neil Buchanan liked slapping kids on the head
– Pat Sharpe is a really bad commedian
– An answerphone is an acceptable and apparently desirable prize for kids on Fun House
– The red twin on Fun House was the ugly one
– Woof really wasn’t that great
– Knightmare ruled!!!

[takerdemon]

All I remember from the Survival Manual is flicking the pages very quickly to see the cartoon guy cutting his own arm off with an axe. Granted, I haven’t read that book since 1997… is it even worth digging out of my loft?

[takerdemon]

I just don’t get Gervais humour. I’ve seen quite a lot of his stuff and can honestly say that I’ve not even smirked once at something he’s done. Most comedians I don’t like, I can understand the appeal, with him; it baffles me.

Plus his Simpsons episode was the worst in the shows history and that covers some ground.

[takerdemon]

Merry Christmas one and all.

For the record, I didn’t have cauliflower because it’s not traditional.

[takerdemon]

Carlito was on the money; blowjob and a twirl.
