  1. Remember after Jet Set Radio came out, and loads of games ripped off the cel-shaded look that made games look like full motion comic books? Probably just me, but I'd love it someone made a 2-D Beat 'Em Up where all the characters were Angels or Demons, and it was cel-shaded so the whole game looked like moving stained glass windows.
  2. I've had facial hair in some degree or other since before he was born. Even in the rare moments when I was clean shaven, I kept the Bas Rutten bottom lip beard. OTOH, even though there are pictures of me and him where I have hair on my head, I've been bald as long as he can remember. We'd look more alike otherwise... he has my hair and my chin, but nobody can tell. He has his Mum's cheekbones though. Good job too, she looks like Bjork.
  3. See how in the Olympics, those Mongolian Wrestling coaches were protesting a judge's call late in the match, and they stripped their clothes off as a protest? How did no Pro-Wrestling promotion steal that spot? I mean, obviously it makes the most sense for Flair to do it, but he's not managing Charlotte any more, but surely Vince would think it was a hilarious 'Bob Backlund has gone crazy' deal? I mean, ideally TNA would steal it and have Mike Bennett be the one to lose via screwjob, but we'll take what we can get.
  4. My (12 year old) son has noticed that if he puts his face right into a mirror, he can spot a few thin, wispy little hairs between his nose and his top lip. Or as he put it "I've got a moustache!".
  5. Fist Fight. Starring Ice Cube and Charlie Day.
  6. Dirty? I've always been the nice one. Although I'm also the only one left, which pretty much makes me the nasty one as well.
  7. The hell kind of idiot decides to grief in a Kuruma and doesn't realise you aren't protected if the door falls off? Also, I drove up to the guy in the High Priority Car, shot him, stole the car, drove it into the Mod Shop, stayed in there for longer than it would take to just respray it, drove it out, got out, got back in my Zentorno and drove away... and your response is to get into the High Priority and try to drive it? Do you not know about Ignition Bombs?
  8. I disagree. You should win a fight by being the best at fighting, not the best at running away.
  9. Gary Albright was doing Rolling Germans before he who must not be named.
  10. Ironfist Clive Myers. Probably best known for facing Kendo Nagasaki in the infamous Disco Ladder match. Which is also on youtube:
  11. We were talking about Marty Jones in the Gif thread. So, enjoy:
  12. Not if Kane's ankle is buggered.
  13. Well, Iwan Rheon was already known as Simon from Misfits, and he was in Vicious at the same time as a couple of seasons of GoT (he also won an Olivier award (for best Supporting actor in a musical) a few years before any of that), so he should be more immune to that. Whereas unless you recognise Gleeson as the kid from Batman Begins, he's pretty much just Joff. Although he did do Edinburgh with his comedy troupe afterwards. Kind of low key though, just a face on a poster with three other faces... in a city that's wallpapered in fresh posters every fifteen minutes for a whole month.
  14. Just host a vehicle deathmatch. Some low leveller will be so excited at the thought of getting to drive a tank or fly a jet that they'll join. Get through that, and the default next job voting screen is for proper R* Deathmatches. If you psychologically manipulate your opponents by letting them get kills late on, so it finishes with the scores close and they think they're improving, might have a shot at beating you next time... you'd be astonished how many people will accept strings of rematches. I don't wear the Hustler tattoo because I don't want my marks to figure out I'm grifting them (I'll be wearing Belly Pistols in about 80-ish kills time). I once lost at Tennis because I got so used to jobbing points to prevent the victim rage quit that accounts for most of my wins... that I left myself too much to do, and the not good opponent could nurse his lead to win the set just by splitting games. But then he spawned next to me in freemode, which wasn't good for him at all.
  15. I think he's at the Undertaker level, where he only loses to who he chooses. But he'll have to choose someone sooner or later.
  16. Streets of Rage with Super-powers, but like power trees, so you evolve. Super jump level three is flight. Weapons level one is melee, and level two is projectiles, but combining Weapons with Energy Blast gives you lightsabres or explosive bullets. Super Strength makes you physically bigger. Higher levels of armour change your costume so you actually are armoured. Strength (or Energy Blast) + Speed gives you charge attacks, but Strength and Jump gives you Earthquake Stomp. And so on. Oh, and dead enemies don't despawn, so every level ends up full of huge corpse piles.
  17. Being Straight Edge makes you better than other people.
  18. So, hypothetically suppose you've just left a TV show where you play one of the most villainous villains in the history of the medium. Where do you go from there? How do you follow it up? Who do you play next? Hitler!
  19. I used to do that. But then one time I didn't pop one, and it healed up much faster. Drained itself somehow.
  20. The thing with Sabre is, number one you shouldn't be Zack Sabre Jr when there was no Zack Sabre Sr. Two, he's 29 and is still built like a gangly teenager, which kind of implies he'll never fill out... and wrestlers generally should look like they could beat somebody up. Those wrestlers who don't look like they could beat somebody up, there's specific ways of working that play into that (Rockstar Spud is good at one type of that; Mandrews is good at another type of it; 1-2-3 Kid was good at it in away X-Pac wasn't). Also, he's a Southerner. Jack Gallagher is credible in that World of Sport style because he's from Wigan, Lancashire. Sabre lacks that legitimacy. Long story short, you should work like you look. And his work implies a level of toughness he can't physically project.
  21. What's more likely, me winning a Deathmatch using your tactics, or you winning a Deathmatch using my tactics? Actually, how do you do in them with your camping spots, now you haven't got the Team Carrier charging around perpetual motion, flushing the other team from cover every ten seconds? Finish 0-0 all the time?
  22. Filth (2013) stars James McAvoy and is based on the Irvine Welsh novel of the same name. It's a great performance from McAvoy, an award winning performance, but the film as a whole is a confusing mess. The book is too, but it works on the page in a way that it doesn't on screen. The shifts in tone it has, the way they try to simulate the disorientation the characters feel by disorienting the viewer... you can see what they were going for, but it kind of feels like they got a bit fancy with the direction. It's the old question about having films with characters who see things that aren't there - do you show them to the audience, or do you trust the actor to sell that they're there without showing them? I think McAvoy's performance would be enough to tell the viewer that this guy's reacting to stimuli no-one else in the room can see or hear. He made this and Trance back to back (I preferred Trance. Rosario Dawson~!). A film based on a book by the guy who wrote Trainspotting, and a film directed by the guy who directed Trainspotting. Wonder if he tried to get a supporting role in T2?
