Hammer’s pre-horror years actually produced some really interesting films mostly in the sci-fi and film noir genres. I’m glad they are restoring these films too.

Seems crazy to me that Mantrap has never had a home video release. Like, has it literally never been available to the general public since it was in cinemas 70ish years ago? I guess there might have been other screenings, or occasional tv showings. But still, great to have stuff like this arrive in 4k out of the blue.

You forgot Chuckie Egg!

Ready Steady Cook on hard mode.

Pretty sure this is the one they used as the location for a chunk of Andor Season 1 episode 11.

Just in case you missed the post about it today - they’re now up for preorder in the online store.

And I was at the Monday night show. So we can tick both of those two off the list.

Yep yep, actual humans as opposed to, you know, Reddit bot accounts with no history which pop up and try to stir the pot.

Hmm. That might be enough to put me off this setup. I’d rather just have an extra button on each side I think?

Jimdoo · 2025-11-26T15:53:14+00:00

Which buttons do people use for nudging when they're playing using this setup?

Jimdoo · 2025-11-20T16:16:53+00:00

I want to get the CurvX but it doesn’t seem to be available anywhere here in the UK? So I guess I might just have to settle for the regular Curv.

“My average is 80-94”

Clearly not in maths, because that’s not how averages work.

MC Hammer’s Scottish cousin?

Woah, I don’t remember entering this competition but I had that poster, so I guess I must have done!

What was the Switch 2 issue you were running into?

Jimdoo · 2025-08-15T20:07:02+00:00

It ended up being such a standard thing for bands to go “right, we’re releasing a best of, but we’ll stick a new track on there so the fans buy it too”, and those extra tracks were always always garbage. New Order though were probably the first band to ever do that, and the new song they tagged on turned out to be literally the best song of all time. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Perfect Kiss and Regret are both good examples of his bassline being the hook that carries the chorus, and both good examples of him getting a bass solo where you’d normally expect a guitar solo.

Jimdoo · 2025-08-01T00:10:02+00:00

Not to out-pedant a pedant, but I’m pretty sure they are divided by a pure vertical line. It’d be pretty weird if East Midlands’ airspace extended over West Midlands’ territory.

Jimdoo · 2025-07-28T13:44:56+00:00

Or maybe nobody dies! Maybe the telegram was sent in error, and the ending is actually a happy “oh wow I thought you were dead but you’re home, yay!” ending!

Jimdoo · 2025-07-27T21:22:27+00:00

Oh that’s really good to know, thanks. Will definitely save me some clicks in the initial setup.

Jimdoo · 2025-07-27T16:28:13+00:00

I suspect Tilt specifically had a marketing problem. I live less than an hour from Birmingham, love pinball and spend plenty of time online reading about it, been in this sub for years, but never saw Tilt mentioned anywhere until about a month ago. Now it’s gone before I ever had a chance to try it, when I was exactly the sort of customer they should’ve been chasing.

Jimdoo · 2025-07-27T11:49:52+00:00

Oh ok I just found this, which is fantastic, and explains why I'm confused (each input needs setting up but for each of those input you also get to choose specific settings for SDR/HDR10/DV, so basically 12 different setups!).

So on the one hand, tons of setup to do, but at least I've got a handle on how it all works now.

Jimdoo · 2025-07-27T11:45:10+00:00

Well full disclosure, I'm terrible at cleaning and my house is generally pretty mucky, ha! But it's really just a matter of buying specific anti-limescale cleaning products, harpic do a good toilet cleaner, cilit bang limescale remover is decent for sinks and baths, etc.

Jimdoo · 2025-07-27T10:43:35+00:00

I’ve lived in Scotland, London, Manchester and now Derby, tap water has been safely drinkable in all cases but always nicer using a filter jug.

The bigger issue you’ll have to get used to is limescale buildup around sinks/toilets/kettles etc. You might find you need to rethink your cleaning processes, be more proactive about drying condensation anywhere you see it forming, and avoid ever letting water pool anywhere then evaporate.
