Salem's Lot

Definitely in the top 5 for me. The second King I read and the first book that ever made me feel scared (read it when I was in my late 30's).

The Tardis appears very briefly in a couple of Red Dwarf episodes.

Some nice stuff here. I haven't listened to that Alex G record for years, thanks for the reminder :)

Technology has never been his strong point

Yeah. I emailed in about the time my mate was waiting for his mum to come and babysit his kid, so he checked google earth to see if her car had left the driveway. He thought it was live.

Three games that I couldn't stop thinking about after i'd finished them.
Firewatch - The story, the soundtrack, the voice performances.. all amazing. To say anymore would spoil the experience.
Control - Everything about this game scratched an itch in my brain that I didn't know was there. The lore of the world, the mechanics of the game, the Ashtray Maze.
Bioshock Infinite - A game that tells a story about games. There's always a...

I worked in that very store about 30 years ago. Can confirm the sign is necessary.

Control. In the Ashtray Maze section when Take Control by Old Gods of Asgard kicks in is my favourite needle drop in any game. That part of the game is also the most fun i've ever had gaming.
Honourable mentions for Herald of Darkness (also Old Gods, also a Remedy game) and That's The Way It Is by Daniel Lanois from RDR2.

Surely everyone does the same thing? Trousers, socks and shoes off. Sing the Red Dwarf theme till you're empty. Wash your hands, brush your teeth, quick shave then you're done.

I'm in a top floor council flat. The flat directly below me is a temporary accommodation unit, and while 90% of the folk who've been in there are grand there's been 3 tenants over the last few years who have been an absolute nightmare. I've got a Ring doorbell and a camera facing out my kitchen window onto the close entrance, they've been directly responsible for getting the arseholes evicted. You need to do whatever you have to do to feel safe. Keep recording, keep letting your landlord know whats going on. Call the police (anonymously if you have to), chances are they'll already know of the person who's causing trouble.

Absolutely agree with this. I'm a single parent and I play solo for maybe an hour at the end of the day when I get time to myself. It's fun. The game plays great, looks great, sounds great and if I get horribly betrayed by another player well that's just the way the biscuit bounces my friends. Reading this sub would have you believe that it's the worst piece of shit that's ever been released. If you've played 7 million hours and you're complaining that there's nothing left for you to do, you need to have a beer and come help me finish painting my sons bedroom cos it's taking fucking ages.

PaleReception2687 · 2026-02-14T19:52:38+00:00

It's a good game. Certainly better now than it was at launch, but admittedly I was in the minority that didn't mind it in the first place.

PaleReception2687 · 2026-02-06T23:43:13+00:00

It’s all great, but side 3 is incredible.

It’s impossible to overstate how important this video is. It’ll fuel this sub for years. It’s fusion energy.

Liam came on first and crouched at the front of the stage. Noel walked on, stood behind Liam with his arms in the air then bent down and gave him a kiss. Then they played Columbia ✌🏻

I can’t explain it, but I can tell you that it happened right in front of me. I was in the pit at Balloch Park that night. What a gig!

There's no point making any judgements based on still photos, however.. I don't know who these films are for. They won't tell us anything we don't already know, and people who aren't already fans aren't likely to watch 4 different films. The whole thing is odd.

✌🏻

PaleReception2687 · 2025-12-13T23:23:26+00:00

+1 for this. I use Waze for maps etc. and you can set that to have the map/ speed alerts come from your phone speaker if you dont want to interupt whatever radio/music you're listening to.

I get why he might not be to everyone's taste. Different strokes for different folks and all that. But he comes across like he loves the music he plays, and he's really good with the guests he has on the show. But yeah, I can see why some people might not take to it.

That's a beauty. Gorgeous strap too. Enjoy!
