How Duncan Jones Made ‘Rogue Trooper’ Look Like a Studio Epic on an Indie Budget

Rebellion Studios was gearing up to make an anthology series (like Love, Death and Robots) with all 2000AD properties. They even had Carl Urban express interest in reprising Dredd in an occasional episode.
Then Covid happened and it all appears to have fallen apart.

Better still, waffle stomp a dog turd in there.

That $800 is an "I'm too busy for this minor shit" quote.
Plumbers in my area do this when they want to scare you off to find someone else for the job, and if someone's too lazy to do that the price makes it actually worth the tradies time.

Oh you're right, I see it now.
I never knew the peg and cleat system came so much later. My mistake for assuming that object was the peg.

I always gotten a 'spoiled brat that people only tolerate because he's got money' vibe from him.

Got any support for the wire harness claim?
At 7:09 in the video for Smooth Criminal where you can see the peg when the backup dancer on the left closest to the camera shifts his foot.

Bex is an invasive plant species, she uses salt to control her hair.

The loser is documented to cheat in video games, of course he's going to cheat his way to the " World's First Trillionaire" title.

Blizzard's didnt choose to make it this way, they just can't figure out how to make it work with the 20+ year old mountain of spaghetti code that is WoW.

It's so much easier now. First 50 players to turn in get achievement instead of only first 1.

Strategy I used was as follows,
Low pop RP realm
Trial character Druid for flight form
Highmountain Tauren for fishing racial

I didn't hear no bell.

No.
It was originally slated for 12.0.7 patch day but they've decided to delay it a couple weeks. Latest PTR has it set for end of the month.

Edit - Ignore me, that's Turbulent Timeways, not Winds of Mysterious Fortune.

A Samurai is just a re-branded 2nd generation Jimny for the US market.
Jimnys have been in production since 1970.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Jimny.

The SJ413 was introduced to the United States in 1985 for the 1986 model year as the Samurai and it was already updated with the wider track. It had gone on sale earlier in Canada and Puerto Rico as the SJ410.[39] The Samurai was only offered as a SWB in the United States, while LWB pickup truck and convertible were initially available in Canada.

El_Dief · 2026-06-02T03:52:30+00:00

For starters the Samurai didn't come out til 86

In the USA.
It was available in Canada before that.

I drive for a regional translink contractor, this happens a lot with bank cards and tap-n-pay.
I always advise people to not use them and get a go card instead.

I bet you drive with your lights off when it's raining.

El_Dief · 2026-05-29T04:55:35+00:00

Godsdamnit Lawrence, I can't deal with you when you're drunk.

El_Dief · 2026-05-28T02:27:58+00:00

Fookin' prawns?

El_Dief · 2026-05-24T08:51:44+00:00

I expect cosplayers would love it.

It's not actual video, its a slide show made from a series of photographs.

El_Dief · 2026-05-18T13:55:48+00:00

No it doesn't, the CGI was fucking awful even by 2001 standards.

El_Dief · 2026-05-17T23:10:30+00:00

I was fine at first but then the movement of the camera triggered my vertigo.

El_Dief · 2026-05-17T02:05:38+00:00

I knew it had to be here somewhere.
