They’ve learnt from the Young Ones and at least they’re using glue. You know, like, I've tried it, hundreds of times. There's no way you can hammer in the last nail.

I'm intrigued by Keza's review of Ancestors
Slightly concerned that after months of Elite, switching to this would feel like i'm watching 2001 in reverse.
Also, multiplayer? Can you imagine us boxers playing a troupe of monkeys, and what king of creatures we'd evolve into over millions of years? Much dung would be flung. |

Coincidentally, I bought Night Thoughts by suede about an hour ago. Since then I've been in waterstones considering buying the latest Stephen Donaldson but chickened out after browsing some online reviews. I did buy Pet Sematary for my daughter. Mostly I just wanted to hang around because last time I was in that branch I saw Tilda Swinton. Night Thoughts is pretty good. The DVD with it is strange. The guy in it is a dead ringer for Lazybones. My copy of The Insatiable Ones Documentary DVD turned up at the weekend. 2 bonus DVDs of interviews and a film by Simon. Obviously I have watched everything. I am pretty certain I am funding Brett to lead a better lifestyle than I do. |

The best Suede songs are the ones where Brett goes..."Oh ohhhhhhh".

Climate protestors distrupting public transport doesn't seem the best idea. If people can't get the tube or train, they'll get a bus or taxi. More emissions (parp). Plus it's not just bankers using those systems. It's other people trying to get to work, to school, to an appointment at the hospital. They haven't thought this through. You're making several assumptions there, including rather literally equating the forms of transport being disrupted with the aim of the protesters to reduce traffic, and that public transport is good for the environment. Simultaneously, you are over-looking the likelihood that disrupting roads probably causes more road traffic pollution by causing greater traffic queues. What the protesters want is systemic changes to government policies and carbon targets. The method of doing that is less like a standard protest march, and more akin to terrorism (albeit non-violent and rather polite, so not a terror act in that sense). The deliberate disruption is part of the tactic, whether that's to road traffic or to rail transport, or to other functions of society and the state. If you insist on being literal-minded, I would point out that public transport is still a significant source of pollution that could be reduced very significantly with better government policies. The position of the protesters is that governments have failed to act, have been swayed by the interests of big businesses, show no sign of taking meaningful action, and are rather close to leaving everything a little too late with potentially dire consequences. The conclusion that radical protest action is required in order to bring about radical change would surely and necessarily go hand in hand with a pragmatic response to a criticism questioning whether causing a small harm today is justified by a potential significant improvement in the future.

After this is cybernetic lifeforms, that or a blend of cyber bio-genetics, presuming the world hasn't annihilated itself in the next 300 years. We the species are 500 years behind where we should be, which is up there. The Kane sees all, the Kane knows all, the Kane is all, all hail the Kane Lord of the galactic dust heap. it gets very boring when you're the last one left.. edit: we are not at the pina colada yet (Though I think Mr.Tiddles might have been)! |

Yakuza 0 is a really weird game. Like, I like weird, but this is wrong weird. I haven't dared start it since watching the opening sequence alongside the Mrs. My favourite YouTuber adored Yakuza 0, and after you first mentioned it I went and watched the intro and some minutes of gameplay. I didn't think there was anything remarkable about it. What does that say about me? (Maybe don't answer that question.) |

Liking your own post is digital masturbation I have liked this because Felice is right. He's obviously right, so what does that make a 'like' for someone else? |

I didn't think there was anything remarkable about it. What does that say about me? (Maybe don't answer that question.) The intro is fine apart from some suggestive gropery. The side missions where you have to help out a school girl doing some wrongness, or an s&m person be more good at s&m stuff are a bit uncomfortable. |
