What I would do for a new TIE Fighter, with modern graphics. It’s been my favourite game since I first played it in 1996.

Damn, I still haven’t gotten around to playing this, and I’m not sure I will now before the servers go down.
Oh, I’m never selling Conker! I never get rid of any of my games though, just like my friend used to be. I’ve got shelves of the things, and I accept that most of them I’ll never play again. I’ll probably end up having a clear out at some point, but for the time being I like having them all, they trigger memories of…
You really lucked out with one in that condition for $30! I’ve just had another look and there are some chancers on EBay trying their luck at over £200! I still think it’s my most valuable single game, although apparently my paltry collection of 11 NES games could net me far more than I would have expected, especially…
The game I’ve had the longest in my backlog is Devil May Cry 4, bought in 2008. I’m actually playing it at the moment.
I struggled to find one when it came out, and managed to find it for £35 second hand, which I thought was exorbitant at the time, but it was in the same condition as yours pretty much. The box is a little more scuffed, but it’s got all the inserts, including the tough card box insert the cart sits in.
I got it for my birthday just after it came out, and was playing it pretty solidly from the end of May until late October when I beat it. It pretty much became like a second life for me in the evenings!
Oh, I didn’t take it as an insult! I certainly have seen non-Brits occasionally struggle with our humour, which at its best can be so dry as to not even appear to be humour at all at first glance.
None of it.
I’ll never complain about commuting on the London tube again.
There’s a tiny part of me that can understand them feeling like they’re constantly under attack - the frequency with which the films are bashed could get tiring after a while, but that’s no excuse for the kind of comments the rabid fanboys make. My opinions don’t always match with the general consensus (coughTheForceAw…
I was intending to. “It’s like the movie equivalent of an African American person”
This one really annoys me, especially as people in public jobs have been seriously castigated and forced to apologise for using it, when the people complaining are actually just showing their ignorance. It’s like criticising someone using the word “country” in public because the first syllable sounds rude.
Martha jokes will stop being funny when that film stops being shitty.
$800,000,000 worldwide really isn’t bad, and I think the number of people complaining about Depp’s casting really isn’t big enough to make much of a difference. I just don’t think the average audience-goer cares.
It’s the comedy bathos thing again (there was a video posted here a while back about it), where everything is so knowing and cynical that badass moments aren’t allowed to just exist, they have to be undercut by humour.
Given that pretty much the only complaint I’ve seen about Ragnorok is that it goes too far with the comedy to the point where it undercuts what should be some pretty dramatic moments (and I’ve seen it a lot), I’d hope that Feige and the others at the top are hearing it and taking notes.
My best friend and I have tried various interpretations of the sinner’s sandwich, but settled on the classic of strawberry jam and cornflakes as the best.
Just a friendly warning - I really don’t recommend going up to a person from Sheffield and telling them their accent sounds like shit. It’s...unlikely to end well.
It really annoys me when Americans say “British accent” but mean “English” (And I am English!) I don’t really know how it started, but it’s so pervasive that there’s likely not much chance of changing it now. I still try to call it out when I see it though.
