  1. False, Mario was. TPBM posted in the 23rd page of this thread.
  2. Video's WERE better. I don't care about better quality, I'm more interested in not wasting my life away. As the kind of chap that watchs a film over three nights or so, before I go to bed, video's were better. But it's no wonder people download movies. I'd rather passively wait for an 8 hour download, then get RIGHT into the action. DVD menus are destroying their own means to be, much like the people who operate self service checkouts.
  3. Actually, I'll get to the menus in a minute, but firstly I'd like to point out that nobody seems to have noticed that there is a stupid amount of time between putting a DVD into a player, then actually watching the film. It's horrendous. Firstly, I really think having to read copyright information every single time is unnecessary, which speaks volumes for how pointless I think having to read it in 5 different languages is too. Sure, there's probably some law, but having to wait through them is like those Terms and Conditions pages on webpages that make you scroll to the bottom of the rabble before you can Agree to them . Plus, now it seems the done thing to put trailers at the beginning of DVD's too! G'J'FT'WHY? I just paid money the sodding thing, have some fucking manners. Then the menu. Half a minute of clip montage from the film, or some kind of fancy effects or something before it appears. The occasional to moderately often "how is this option highlighting actually working"...with more clips from the film underneath. Choose what you want, then its another fucking journey through space and time before we get to the film ...well the production company animations. At this point I've lost interest, I've seen half the fucking film already anyway and I've eaten all the food I had to go with it. Worst offender I've seen may be Red Dwarf Season 4. Everytime you chose something it takes you through all the ship corridors to another room with more options. It drives me fucking insane. 95% of DVD menu's drive me insane. DVD's don't need interfaces, especially ones where the up button makes your marker go left. I like films that just start, and if you wish to access any features it may have, you just press menu and it comes up with a simplistic text based menu. But bollocks to scene selection, I'll just skip through the chapters in 5 seconds to the bit i was at last night if it's all the same. Computer games can be just as bad sometimes.

  5. False, what are the chances? TPBM enjoys being in Airports.

    I haven't watched Jericho since the episode with the guys pretending to be the army, I've no idea why I stopped. I think I got irritated with Hawkin's story.

    This weeks episode is ruined by John's man-boobs. Jesus Christ.
  8. They ALL look like paedophiles in the photo. Especially Rudess.
  9. oh god, those were both brilliant!
  10. False - Can only imagine it would be a reference to Hog's hair. TPBM doesn't give a flying fuck if you can only have Pepsi in a restaurant and not Coke.

    A 75-year-old man went to his doctor to get a sperm count. The doctor gave the man a jar and said, "Take this jar home and bring me back a semen sample tomorrow." The next day, the 75-year-old man returned to the doctor's office and gave him the jar, which was as clean & empty as on the previous day. The doctor asked what happened, and the man explained.. "Well, doc, it's like this. .. First I tried with my right hand, but nothing. Then I tried with my left hand, but still nothing. Then I asked my wife for help. She tried with her right hand, then her left, still nothing. She even tried with her mouth...first with the teeth in, then with her teeth out, and still nothing. We then called up Arlene, the lady next door, and she tried too, first with both hands, then an armpit, and she even tried squeezin' it between her knees, but still nothing!" The doctor was shocked. "What, you asked your neighbour??" The old man replied, "Yep, but no matter what we did, with our arthritis, we still couldn't get the jar open".

    Larry la Prise, who wrote the hokey cokey, has died aged 93. The worst part was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in, then the trouble started.
  14. False, no shed thus a lack of potential to have an old newspaper in it. TPBM has mistaken clean glass for nothing before.
  15. YouTube - Ziltoid the Omniscient - First Transmission
  16. *shudder* I'd describe this as "horrifically disappointing", is this the same band that made Images and Words, or is it the band that made Spreading the Disease? It sounds like Anthrax, with a long and unmemorable solo section in the middle to keep it "prog". Agreed on the dreadful Portnoy vocals, isn't he good enough at drums to just do them? Tiger Woods doesn't enter Wimbledon. Eugh. Mac you should check out the new Porcupine Tree album "Fear of a Blank Planet", it's about 100 times better than this caper.
  17. tatties AND noodles? why didn't you just have rice instead of steak.
  18. Hahaha, classic. I don't really have any shame about listening to bad music, so I'll admit I'm fond of: Hanson Gwen Stefani Matt Willis HIM, I seem to get a lot of flack for and Devin Townsend.
  19. that's what I was thinking.
  20. True, I don't know why, perhaps I'll die TPBM could never beat me at Mario Kart. edit: yeh, SNES version
  21. no, it is way cooler. EDIT: my favourite is the Diplodocus.
  22. they all enjoy a TASTY burger
  23. that's pretty good, guitars sound clear as crystal.
