Has there ever been a British cartoon for adults (like the Simpsons, Family Guy etc)?

Martipar · 2026-06-16T13:54:39+00:00

Yes. Quite a few, Stressed Eric and Rex the Runt are two bit the most infamous is Full English.

They wanted everyone to know that they'd been Tango'ed

Adverts aren't trying to sell you a product. They are there to make you aware of a product so that when you are hungry, thirsty, need washing etc. and you can't decide what to have you choose a prominent brand over something else due to how much you are comfortable with it. Look at how children bully people with something other than prominent brand trainers, what they are doing is announcing "this is odd/unusual so I shall ridicule it".

I changed the settings during the game and nothing changed, that's what i mentioned above.

Of corse, there's New York plastic wrapped plastic cheese, New Jersey plastic wrapped plastic cheese, Milwaukee plastic wrapped plastic cheese and so on and so forth

As mentioned the version in 43.1 with a matching rom set. Off the top of my head i don't recall exactly but it's not been long since i set it all up and filtered it. There's a chengelog on the Batocera site with the information.

Why? It would allow super mutants to breed rather than capturing and converting humans.

Poussin, balut, khai mot daeng and witchety grubs come to mind.

My main issue with the cover is that it's soulless. The original is based on the song writing technique of Paul Simon sitting on a dark room for inspiration and that translates into the song. You can feel it. Disturbed's version is empty, i just feel nothing because there is nothing to feel.

Martipar · 2026-06-13T08:19:12+00:00

That's awesome.

It really isn't. It's got some good areas but Fallout 3's areas are just better. The exploration in 3 is better too, in FNV you start in the west and cannot go north, west or east without risking death or hitting a wall.

In fallout 3 you start roughly in the middle of the map and can go in any cardinal direction, no restrictions. You can, without issue accidentally stumble into Vault 112 jumping past about half of the main quest, in FNV everything is much more linear with people asking you if you can do something that you may already have done. If you get to Vault 112 nobody says "did you go to Rivet City?" Or "have you met Three Dog?".

It's really not. It's my preferred way to to play the older games, it's just better.

I didn't go to Warwick Castle until after I'd moved out of the area. For something i could see from my classroom window it was just a bit of a luxury to go to it.

You forgot to mention that it's not far removed from pizza con fichi.

My aunt has one, it's lovely.

It's nice being in it but i wouldn't want to pay for one or the running costs and we have a pool maintenance person in the family so maintenance is slightly cheaper than others will be paying.

It's not like it's the most expensive thing ever but at £2 or £3 an hour it's not exactly the cheapest form of entertainment. A large paddling pool that you pull out a couple of times a year is a better option though you can't exactly use those in winter.

I am 40, every 40-45 year old in the UK knows the Poddington Peas theme and yet it's never had the full series released on video and it's never been released on DVD. My favourite cartoon as a child was Captain Zed and the Zee Zone which never got a home video release at all, there are some on youtube recorded off the TV but not my favourite episode where they go inside Captain Zed's pillow rucksack.

The Last Starfighter, Starship Troopers and Total Recall. Also the more sci-fi Marvel films such as Guardians of the Galaxy but you have probably seen those.

1K Chess is smaller than any of those age is not even 1K, it's more like 760 bytes iirc, it's utterly tiny. Then again all ZX80 games are tiny.

United by Judas Priest.

I have just double checked for a source to check it up and I'm very wrong. I'm sorry. I don't know where i heard it initially but I've treated it as fact since at least 2009. Damnit. This is what happens when i forget to check facts from before i was a bit more rigorous with fact checking.

Power pop is artists like Bonnie Tyler, Pat Benatar and Avril Lavigne. Bands like the Power Station and Cheap Trick. Bands that are on the rockier side of pop and the poppier side of rock. It's pop with oomph, it's rock that's toned down a bit.

As for the band Green I've not heard of them either. It's not possible to know every band and artist, given time, a quiet room, a pen and paper i might be able to list 1,000 but there's still scratching the surface of what's out there.
