That's a good point, I was just thinking about the puzzles, problem solving and the humour. Maybe (hopefully) that's what young minds will concentrate on rather than the implied torture element. I think you're right actually: I wish I could find a copy outside of Xbox live though. If only the boys ...

I agree, it definitely isn't a game I want to let them play to a conclusion, and I don't let them play without me present so I can explain to them some plot points they didn't quite get, and have them avoid the hookers. I have played it through myself as well, about 6 or 7 times (only game I had for...

Computer Games for the under 10's on the 360

Would anybody here have any good suggestions for computer games for a pair of boys under 10? Mine have been playing Minecraft on the 360 for a while, but I think that has turned more into a PC game for them as they become more fascinated with Mods. They both wanted a go on Fable 3, which I have let ...

Transformation Cogs seem to be a big thing lately in the show and the comics I've been reading. Maybe a couple TFs each donate a portion of their cog, thereby giving "genetic" material to the protoform. And to keep it from just being a casual thing but something that requires a bit of com...

Sparks don't have to be mystical -- it's "just" encoding data as light. Yes... Yes, it's just sparks always come from some kind of mystical source. The matrix, matrix flame, vector sigma: it makes the whole thing of procreation dependant on external sources, and would thoroughly limit col...

A semi serious discussion about procreation.

Hello all, I wanted to kick an idea around somewhere, and here seemed a good place to do it. I am running an Rpg with my boys about transformers, and I wanted to flesh out the background and history of it all for them. The premise of the story is that quintessons occupy cybertron, and have brainwash...

Ah, Perlin, you're right. Bloody good picture though.

Hey, can anyone think of good Delbo art? I want to say the Deceticons sneak attack on the Autobots on the moon, but that maybe rose tinted spectacles.

I know it's a comedy show, but I wish they didn't bring in big things like the crew coming back, and then just abandon them like that. But, say-lah-vee.

It was once voted that I shouldn't be given guns in the case of a zombie apocalypse.

ME: "Oh god, no Dave, you've been bit, you're chaaaanging!" Dave: "What? Tim, sod off." ME: "Don't worry Dave, I'll put you out of your misery! sob," Dave: "What!? Tim, put down the gun I'm fine!" ME: " Remember when you borrowed Optimus Prime off me in P...

yeah, voice (and wig) aside, it writes him out in a fairly smart way that feel right for the character. That's why, until it's firmly proven otherwise, I'm going with the Rimmer in the recent stuff being based on the one from VIII after he died... I read somewhere that the script writers were in th...

Oh that's easy, it's the EVIL future Lister from Out of Time in Stasis Leak. Before his accident obviously. ;) Oh, you're good! Apparently there is supposed to be a mention of the new crew and their fate somewhere this year, so presumably that's next week now. Though that is from claims from the st...

...I wound up wondering about continuity. Which you should never do with Red Dwarf... Yes, best steered clear of in Red Dwarf. I mean, Lister should have travelled back in time and married Kochanski in season 2 if their pre-destined future theory is accurate. Plus, what happened to the nano-revived...

This one had a few chuckles. After the novelty of Red Dwarf being back wore off, I've realised its not quite as funny as it was. Still better than anything else on TV at the moment . . . Have you seen Hunted on BBC? It's bloody good, though I haven't seen more than two episodes: I'm usually at work...

Reminded me of Rimmer's second death in Timeslides. Though for a less good precedent there's the funny accented scientist in Back to Earth... I could argue against the 2nd Rimmer death, as no one caused it or observed it, and if Holly was shocked by learning Rimmer was alive then so would everyone ...

Was anyone else annoyed by Rimmers Hard-Light / Soft Light switch? Maybe I was getting too nerdy, but I want to know how that works , as he's supposed to have a little mechanical device called a Light Bee inside him projecting his image. If he passed through the wall, then there's a whole new set of...

Vegan Fair? Mostly stalls selling food: loads and loads of good food, like Moo-Free Chocolates, as well as some other groups like Vegan Runners and the Hedgehog hospital. If you want more info, check it out on facebook :)
The next one is being held on the 17th November, we'd love to see you there,
