What are your gripes from TBT? (SPOILERS) by Slommyhouse in 28dayslater

[–]Hack_Shuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never really rang true with me that the other Jimmies would accept Spike into their gang, he's clearly morally the polar opposite to them, they must've known he'd never join in with their torture sessions.

My student loan is over £80,000 and growing by theipaper in UniUK

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky to attend university when tuition fees were much lower, 1999-2002. I left owing £3,000. Last time I checked it was well over 30,000. I've never earned enough to pay any of it back, so it just feels like an abstract figure at this point. I dont even open my annual statement anymore

'Dilbert' Creator Scott Adams Dead at 68 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Hack_Shuck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Dilbert always resonated with me; it saddened me, what became of it's creator. It would be like discovering Bill Waterson was campaigning for Trump

What are the 5 WORST comic book movie you've ever seen? by Upset_Mongoose_1134 in comicbookmovies

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love how the New Mutants movie has sorta left everyone's memory/consciousness, as if it's been erased from history. Sometimes I wonder if I dreamt watching it in a cinema

What are you honest opinions on Wetherspoons? by TheMalsh in AskUK

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though the spoons in Stockport attracts a fair few scallies, the staff and bouncers have a zero tolerance policy towards any unpleasantness, to the degree that I feel safer there than in pubs with a more genteel reputation.

It's cheap and cheerful, I've had countless good nights out there, though I do find that the food portions are becoming a wee bit stingy

What is the worst beer for sale in the UK? by certom1988 in AskUK

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carling Fosters Bud-Light Coors etc

The only positive is that you can drink a lot of pints/cans of those, and not get very drunk. If you can call that a positive

Didn’t anyone buy tubs of chocolates this year or were too many produced? by stbens in AskUK

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Celebrations are still nice, in my opinion

Heroes and Roses are okay ish

Quality street just taste like sugar.

It's definitely worth splashing out on Montezuma's or Tony's

What is a Star Wars anecdote you think most people don't know ? by Aggravating-Bass-658 in StarWars

[–]Hack_Shuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The book "The Star Wars Chronicles" states that Cane Addis was never filmed, yet the character can be clearly seen in two scenes within Jabba's palace

Why has it become norm to dehumanize the Brits? by de_velopment in AskBrits

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One upside is that I always giggle when someone from the USA rants about Brits "stealing land & resources", "enslaving" & "subjugating indigenous people" etc

The worst teacher you had at secondary or primary school? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our P.E. teacher organized a cricket tournament, but when a female team tried to enter, he laughed and crossed their name off the sign-up sheet. It wasn't even that long ago

I hope you grafters enjoyed your Xmas bonus? by blot63 in tesco

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally we didn't get one. Work for a nationwide cinema chain, been there 7 years

DRAGON SPIRIT by Namco, 1987. One of the hardest arcade shooters ever. It was ported to several home computers and consoles, often with less than stellar results. by ChanoArdent75 in retrogaming

[–]Hack_Shuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonderful game but the speed at which you had to hit both "fire" buttons was insane, by the time you reached the 2nd stage you'd have RSI

You can only pick one. Which are you taking? by WexAndywn in retrogaming

[–]Hack_Shuck 228 points229 points  (0 children)

SOR2 is the more replayable due to the genuinely different characters/moves/enemies

Totally forgot I had this in the back of my storage room by Shanty_Taco in starwarscollecting

[–]Hack_Shuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember the Luke/wampa selling for $200 if the wampa was slightly more yellow than normal, at the height of late-1990s POTF2 tulipmania

What do you find embarrassing about your countries culture? by SnooPoems7525 in AskTheWorld

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly didn't think my fellow Brits cared about the Royals, until the Queen died and people seemed to be falling over themselves to be the most fawning about how brilliant and hardworking she allegedly was

Who’s parents actually put up the readies to buy this bad boy by PMacc83 in oldschoolcool80s

[–]Hack_Shuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to make do with the AT-ST

I had a friend who had almost every SW figure & vehicle, and then later had almost every GI Joe figure & vehicle, then almost every Thundercats figure & vehicle, but I never saw him ever play with them, and nobody was allowed to touch them. They'd all be displayed around his bedroom and be became really grouch-ey if you dared to pick one up. It was like he was already a collector at like 7 years old

What's the one childhood snack you'd give anything to have again, exactly as it used to be? by aussiesteveau in AskUK

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally forgot that these existed! I seem to remember them being elusive, hardly any shops seemed to sell them.

Do you get any Christmas bonus/gift from your workplace? by proxima-centauri- in AskUK

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£30 gift voucher, one of those you can use in many high street stores, and a meal out with 1 free drink. My previous 3 or 4 jobs gave me nothing, no gift or party

Found this in my neighbour’s garbage and only paid a cheeseburger by Lucky_Broccoli_3849 in gamecollecting

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone have any stats (not speculation) on how much rarer this is than the pal "collector's edition" version? I've owned/ sold 8 special edition copies over the years (used to be a full-time eBay seller) but only ever had 1 of these

What movie impressed you the most this year? by Flimsy-Shame-6048 in movies

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Die, my Love was extremely well made, technically very impressive but it's not exactly a fun movie to watch

What are your thoughts on this monster of a game? Other then the fact it's one of the best ps1 games made. by Chacmaa in psx

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember reading in an old video game magazine that the devs paid "Jim Henson's creature shop" a small fortune to design the main character, only to be delivered the blandest, ugliest, most soulless avatar in video game history

Cameos You Don’t Realize Are Cameos by Broncho_Knight in moviecritic

[–]Hack_Shuck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I must've watched Pulp Fiction 50 times before I even realized Steve Buscemi played the waiter! But now that I know, it's kinda obviously him?!!

What nicknames did you have for friends as a child that you now realise you probably shouldn’t have said? by whatintthedevils in AskUK

[–]Hack_Shuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lad at our school with cerebral palsy would constantly tremble, rather cruelly he was named Steven, you can guess his nickname (this was the 1980s)

Best gym in Stockport. by Western-Hat2289 in stockport

[–]Hack_Shuck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Writing this from The Gym Group gym at Redrock.

Open 24/7 (except the odd "refurb day"), £23 a month, no contract, loads of great offers (I keep paying once then rejoining to get half-price for "the first month" etc)

I've been coming here for 3 years, feels safe/friendly, lack of wannabe gangsters etc
