  1. When comparing one to the other, yeah. When comparing them to their immediate contemporaries, well: "You have to realise, I've been operating at about 98% of my potential throughout my career. I'm not about to go off and make a hip hop album or a Chinese Opera". - Noel Gallagher on the difference between himself and Damon Albarn.
  2. Noel is the talented one. Liam is the one who pronounces the word Shine like it's got an extra syllable, and doesn't show up to his child custody hearings.
  3. The costume rip is a sci-fi tradition! How many times did Captain Kirk's shirt rip that way?
  4. At no point in the books did I ever think that Haymitch was carrying a torch for anyone. I thought of him as a guy who knows the Capital is going to attack him through the people he loves, and so never allows anyone to get anywhere close to him. But having seen the film, did Woody Harrelson decide to imply that the person he wasn't letting himself get too close to was Effie?
  5. No, he's not. Hydra were experimenting on him to try and make him into another Cap/ Red Skull level guy... so he's a semi-Super Soldier, like Emile Blonsky was before he got Hulkified. If he was a normal human with a metal arm, why was he able to go toe to toe with Cap and do well in Cap 2? They already established in that film that a peak-training human (Batroc) couldn't do that.
  6. 70s. Kid's shoes never had velcro in them in England before the 90s, really.
  7. I used to be an adventurer like you,until I took an arrow in the knee.
  8. I hope in the next game they change the control system so 'run' and 'go into cover' are two different buttons. Getting killed by a cloud of electrified razorwire insects because I ran too close to a wall trying to escape it is bloody stupid.
  9. Well, when I were a lad if you couldn't tie your shoes by the time you were six, everyone thought you were stupid. But my son never had shoelaces until he was 9 because Velcro exists now. I taught him how to tie laces when he was seven. With these:
  10. It was about George Clooney marrying a human rights lawyer, wasn't it?
  11. 36:33 Kofi had no idea anyone was standing behind him.
  12. What the people really want is alternate hairstyles for Xavier Woods.
  13. No love for "Chinlock City"? Also, I thought they'd done a great job of establishing Sheamus' new character as the guy who hangs around New Day but isn't cool enough to be their friend (unlike Barrett, who they like*). But then he won the belt. * How many times did Wade corpse during that ring entrance? He couldn't keep the smile off his face.
  14. Been doing a little ME3 online lately. Uploaded the Infiltrator class so I could level up my Asari Huntress again, and the first pack I opened after that had a Geth Plasma SMG in it. Is this the best gun in the game? Because it feels like it.
  15. So, on the unplayed games pile, I've got The Last of Us, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Sleeping Dogs and Just Cause 2. Which should I play first? EDIT: and Dead Island.
  16. You do know they're called "Beefeaters", right?
  17. I've been within 300 yards of that Stadium, and I never would. I've been inside Man City's stadium though. Prince was playing a gig at Maine Road in like 1993.
  18. Watched Superbad again... never knew Dave Franco or Clark Duke were in that. And a few guys who went on to have featured roles in Pineapple Express had single scene gigs here (and most of the 'Seth's friends' guys from Knocked Up). It seems odd now that Emma Stone isn't billed higher in the credits or pictured on the cover of the DVD box or anything, but you forget that before she was getting that hottest young actress in Hollywood buzz, she was someone appearing in her first movie. Although you'd think they would have put an Emma Stone sticker on the cover, like they put Leonardo DiCaprio stickers on all the VHS copies of the Quick and the Dead (after Titanic got big).
  19. That last bump Nikita Koloff took in the Vader match looks all sorts of weird. Vader goes to give him a Chokeslam, and Koloff twirls sideways in the air and lands all wonky and sideways. Don't know if he was already hurt and took a weird bump trying to protect himself, or if it was just that bad landing that ended his career.
  20. It says 'excercise'. Which has too many c's. It would be pronounced Ex-Ker-Sighs.
  21. Who's this 'we'? You don't get to use 'we' when you've never been within three miles of the stadium, let alone three thousand miles.
  22. Saw it today. They really didn't change very much from the books at all. The sewer mutants are proper nasty... and there's actual visible blood shed in some of the deaths. A lot of them are kid's film bloodless, but not all. It still has that varying pace the previous books had, and there's a lot of hugging going on. They should have called it The Hugger Games (Bayley T-Shirt idea).
  23. EDIT: Never mind, beaten by two minutes.
  24. Nowadays, you can't say J'onn J'onzz out loud without most people picturing this guy And he's not really hero material.
