Betamax didn’t lose due to porn. VHS won as it was a lot fucking cheaper, you could buy a vhs for 499 or a 799 Betamax in 1982 or something ( don’t forget how expensive A/V equipment was back then). The price difference was pretty considerable. All the screens were shit, so pixels, colour and...

Just got back from seeing this and thought it was great. Feel old as fuck though as I watched the original in the cinema an eternity ago.

Absolutely, no longer number 1 thread in mmo. Swings and roundabouts tho, we’ve had plenty of nutters from the Pantheon community visit previously. In a couple of months there’ll be a flourish of falling gifs and the balance will be restored again.

It was pretty well known in BBC circles back in the 60s that Savile was a wrong un. My grandparents lived near TV Centre and worked at BBC post war for the remainder of their careers, my grandfather worked directly on Top of the Pops during the 60s right through till the late 70s, that was the...

Just watched that video at 1440p and it looked like shit. You can tell they don’t have artists, the whole thing just looks like they are going for realism but failing. They need someone to add some visual flair and style to the game and it’s design. Nothing original at all in any of it. Zones...

Ended up watching Bad Vegan last night. This stupid bitch got taken for 6 million dollars by her mentally unstable boyfriend. Not the greatest of watches but amusing nonetheless. Unsurprisingly, the mental boyfriend was friends with Alec Baldwin and he (Baldwin) wanted to fuck the chick in this...

Done a fair bit of climbing in the UK, Alps etc. Done a bunch of 6000m high treks and summits (ice work, rope work) in Nepal and South America. The highest I’ve peaked is 6500m which was Mera in Nepal. Done Annapurna circuit twice and been on a bunch of treks all over. For sheer beauty I’d...

You need to be amazingly fit, recover super fast and climb in less than ideal conditions, taking risks you’d probably not normally take. These mountains are brutal in less than ideal conditions, imperfect conditions add to the workload massively when climbing. There’s a reason why you see...

According to Reddit Visionary Realms have hired an HR Director and an Internal Communications Manager. Probably someone’s relative or some shit. Keep on grifting fellas!

100 foot wave. Docuseries about big wave surfing, mostly concerning Nazare. Very interesting and lots of holy fuck moments, the place is insane for waves due to it’s specific geography. Great documentary if you’re into action/sports, you’d honestly have to be batshit insane to surf some of the...

Still burned out here. Playing other less demanding games on and off and have taken on more at work as I’m looking to take early retirement, that’s made playing Poe leagues a non-starter. Also really don’t want to give GGG a penny more as I don’t agree with much of Wilson’s way of thinking. I...

Something like No script using the element picker. Depends on how dynamic the content is, works sometimes or works for a while then you might have to make a new rule.

Even back in 2010 when I last played it was full on buy grandmaster spells to compete. Shit was a nightmare. Gear wasn’t a problem at all as I got all the loot from a couple of raid nights on restarting but the spell things a total load of bollocks. By this point they decided to make masters...

Using hosts isn't the best approach to blocking ads, and I can guarantee that if you used that hosts file alone without ublock, you'd be seeing some ads. The best way to block is using a pi hole on your network, it's very effective at sink holing ads. For a start it's centralized, you can set...

They didn’t have good rewards but if you wanted bis items you did nearly every zone in the game. One thing I think Eq2 did right was most zones got a lot of use on release, heritage quest items were the best in the game and a lot of those required traversing multiple zones/dungeons/bosses/rare...

The writing suffered a bit in the last season. The serial biter storyline was fucking stupid, they should have made that something Jimmy did on his own. I could see him pulling that shit but he’s too smart to involve anyone else. That was my major gripe with season 5, it just all fell apart...

It was heading this way when I quit in ToT so I can only presume it’s gotten worse as they’ve no real dev team anymore. Everything’s copy paste garbage. For a while there they really had the fun down to pat. I think from release to SF was pretty good overall. It’s nosedived since, the bloat...

Eq2 used to have some of the best and most fun raids/group content I’ve participated in. All the avatars were good at various points and stuff like 4 rune RT was great for the time. sure it’s not as complex as GW2 or FF, lots of boss encounters were well designed however. But there were often...

Yea people have been rolling with some crazy shit in the past. Autoflask at %, logout at %, remove fog of war, remove particles and effects, autocrafting and vendoring. You can automate a hell of a lot in PoE, but a fully functional bot would probably be pretty difficult to code as the games...

PoE can definitely check for stuff like this and ban you. There are plenty of tools available that will automate rolling maps, vendor recipes etc. It seems quite hit or miss whether you'll get caught sooner or later. Some people have used tools for months, even years, and some seem to have been...

I think the best documentaries on WW2 are the Battlefield series. They cover the large WW2 engagements with analysis of the battlefield, profile the main players and go in depth into the strategy and thinking. The best documentary series on the war in general is of course World at War, that...

I think when my Grandfather went to regimental reunion things, they were a way of dealing with the ptsd. These guys didn't want to talk to other people about the shit they saw and experienced. He used to be away for a few days at a time, I've got a feeling he used to get blitzed as he liked a...

Too expensive for my taste, i'd pay £10-20 for a weekend pass online or something, but I wouldn't pay that much. A lot of the top EDM nights in Europe are streamed anyway. Club sets have been bootlegged since time began, people used to charge extortionate amounts back in the day for the top DJs...

Fucking 19ers.

By episode 4 in BoB they'd already dropped into Normandy, fought in the Battle of Carentan and helped liberate Eindhoven.The pacing was spot on, most episodes had lots of combat stuff.

Full Moon by Dougal Butler. Book's about The Who drummer Keith Moon. Written by a Who Roadie who later became Moon's assistant, close friend and confidant. He was often tasked by the rest of the band into trying to keep Keith under control. Not particularly well written and a bit vulgar in...

In the UK you can apply for service records if they are for a family member from WW2. There's a place here that will search for you.

You mean the one dungeon that they've shown over and over for the past couple of years? That dungeon?

My Grandfather didn't serve in the Pacific itself, but he fought the Japs in Burma (Chindits). Got a box of his stuff up in my attic, scarf that was a map, small machete, papers, hat, unit badges/insignia some carvings he made while sitting in the jungle etc. He fought alongside the Gurkha...

Yeah, I remember the love story shite.

Pacific was still a great series, just a bit slower out the gate. With BoB, the first episodes are slower but good as you've got Sobel giving them shit from the get go and that forges a bond between the men, plus the training was a pretty interesting story anyway. I think Bob just built the...

If you like trance from this time period, Gatecrasher - Wet is a mindblowing album, that and Ministry of Sound's Clubbers Guide to Trance really set the bar high for mixed trance compilations in the late 90s. Wet's the better overall album imo, but they both absolutely rock like fuck. Wet CD 1...

VR have been taking money for years for a game they have no hope of completing. That's pretty much a scam.

Bringing up Paul Oakenfold makes me feel old, I used to go to his Spectrum night in the late 80s. Good DJ, his Journeys by DJ is one of the finest of the series. Here's the essential mix he did in 1994, it's called the Goa mix as he was DJing out in India for the winter for a few years. Some...

This is in the works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_the_Air Seems like a spiritual follow up based on the air war. Might be good as it's the same production company as BoB and Pacific. The air scenes in BoB when they were dropping into Normandy were great.

I never said they were wearing the designer gear all the time. There's been lots of genuine clothing, bags, shoes and glasses worn in the show, stuff that costs a lot of money. True haute couture clothing isn't really worn on a daily basis as it's all handmade for the catwalk or extremely...

Drugs this potent make sense to manufacture for organized crime. The amount you make is much smaller, easier to produce (fewer precursors), smuggle or conceal, and the value is much higher by weight. An intravenous user will be diluting and dissolving the drug in water anyway to prepare it for...

Filters in LE are xml. There are guides on youtube you can look at, you can define drops to very specific criteria if you spend 30 mins reading how to do it. The loot filter in this game is pretty amazing once you get to grips with it.

They are making more of an effort in order to grift more cash before this thing finally dies the death it deserves, after all you can only milk a cow so many times before it dies. If by some miracle it does release, how many sales do you think it will have? Because it will never have enough to...

Malmouth has a great vibe to it, but it's a bit long and depressing. It's far from shit tho.
