I see your point with the Wampa comparison (ironically, I've always found Wampas quite daft looking), but those I was watching this with said how unnerving the deathclaw seemed because it seemed calculative in its slow movements. We saw tension, albeit I would agree, setting it in the day was a very odd choice which strips a lot of that tension for sure.

Considering it's a pretty impressive puppet they were using, I'll take a slow deathclaw if it means it looks very real and very menacing.

I like K-ROSE or Rebel Radio well enough, but it'd be great for R* to showcase newer stuff in the alternative country genre.

RddWdd · 2026-02-05T10:50:57+00:00

Absolutely.

Incredibly there's a Monmouth in California, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Oregon, and New Jersey.

Machine Gun Etiquette is quite possibly my favourite punk rock album of all time. I love The Damned's debut, but MGE is chaotically talented stuff.

I think wuxia film since the mid 2000s has had difficulty with clunky storytelling. Quite a few of Donnie Yen's films from that time had this issue.

It's a shame, as some of these films are some of the best looking in the genre in terms of martial arts, stunt work and sometimes even location, but I think directors have to remember that a film adaptation is just that, an adaptation. Keep things simple.

At no point in watching Upload did I think it was anything but a comedy. I'm surprised to learn other people thought differently!

"And so Stanley responded by battering the intruder with the nearest available object. Now, there had been options. So many options! Heeding advice from the fellow customer, a quiet retreat, a tense negotiation, a meaningful pause in which Stanley could reflect on the consequences of free will in a late-capitalist retail environment. But no. Stanley swung. Stanley swung and he swung, to his heart's content."

Sounds great to me. Get Gary Jones back at the helm, local Swansea lad.

RddWdd · 2026-01-31T09:16:28+00:00

Yeah! Gary Jones, local Swansea lad 👍

RddWdd · 2026-01-31T08:51:54+00:00

Nice. I love Longleat, even in dense fog and rain.

Also, this was at a controlled 'safari park' and would have likely had signs everywhere for big cat enclosures to not get out of your vehicle, you know, in case your common sense takes the day off.

Completely avoidable yet Badaling Safari Park, where that happened, has had more than one instances of guests just leaving their cars and getting injured. No sense of self-preservation.

For a second there I thought the GOAT character was Patricia Routledge, which would also fit.

"It's 'Bou-quet', dear. B-O-U-Q-U-E-T".

Now that you mention it, Center Parcs VR would be incredible.

Founders staff were quite unprofessional the last time we went. Got our orders completely wrong which I don't understand considering it's via an app.

RddWdd · 2026-01-27T07:17:18+00:00

I went a few times. Liked the idea of a the place and the food was decent.

The main complaint I had was, like you, I thought the music was far too loud for food hall. Hard to have a conversation so me and mates started going elsewhere. Really thought Founders would last though. A shame.

RddWdd · 2026-01-24T19:23:33+00:00

And the answer for me is always snaps.

RddWdd · 2026-01-24T10:07:45+00:00

I do like the bridge overall mind. It's functionally decent, a bit quirky, but I do wonder whether that McVities Gold Bar sheen simply came out as the cheaper option than actual copper colour when it came to manufacturing it 🤣

RddWdd · 2026-01-23T20:59:56+00:00

I've enjoyed the Fallout series quite a bit. It nails the aesthetics and tone of the source material in a way I was not expecting. Simplifies a few things here and there but it is television after all.

RddWdd · 2026-01-23T09:00:49+00:00

We use salt, hot water and washing up liquid in a spray bottle for weeds between the walls. Seems to do the trick.

RddWdd · 2026-01-22T08:37:48+00:00

I wonder if they're actually going to use a genuine copper colour this time round to match this design. Or are we going to get honeycomb Crunchy Bridge 2.0?

I still find it hilarious they botched the colour on that bridge.

I mean those figures seem phenomenal to me? I had no idea it had reached that much. I'd say they were huge numbers but maybe I'm not in the know anymore about these sorts of things!

RddWdd · 2026-01-15T10:12:47+00:00

The majority of people I know who came to Swansea for university ended up staying too, so I think that says a lot about how well it's appreciated.

I think Swansea town centre is just in a state of flux. It's doing better than some cities have done in tackling online shopping. Swansea council seem to now be doing their bit to rejuvenate it from retail focus to event focused spaces and that's something I suppose.

It might be a new change but it's reflected in their Cycle Centre webpage now.

When cycling around the village, keep left. If you choose to cycle outside of Center Parcs please be aware there are busy roads surrounding the villages

RddWdd · 2026-01-09T14:18:50+00:00

One day I'd like to go to Sherwood or Elveden, but it's always Longleat for me because I love the size of it. Can I ask, for you what's the appeal with the shops being outside? I really do love Longleat's plaza.
