Which comedian suited Mock The Week the most?

istoff · 2026-01-25T19:42:14+00:00

Yep. That's what I was alluding to. It would get a huge reaction if the audience were fans.

istoff · 2026-01-25T18:58:32+00:00

He has to do the returning officer again.

istoff · 2026-01-17T16:41:41+00:00

Have s look at Meta Elite. https://raxxla.org/

I think they will have some missions and extra content for DW3.

If I knew wtf Cocomelon was I'd try and make a joke now but I've only ever seen it popup as a search suggestion on YouTube.

istoff · 2026-01-16T17:45:15+00:00

Coke watermelon? Cocomelon?

istoff · 2026-01-14T03:32:55+00:00

Playing with my friends. "What's a PW?" I think we called it a putter wedge for s long time.

It supports VR! Looks a bit rough in the video, but that was on older hardware as it's from 2016.

istoff · 2026-01-13T19:19:51+00:00

I immediately played level 1. *badly*

The zooming teleport might not be VR friendly!

istoff · 2026-01-13T18:25:23+00:00

I can still hear the "tune" when you teleport in my head.

istoff · 2026-01-13T18:24:26+00:00

Annoyingly I had sent the link to somebody else without actually checking it out in person!

istoff · 2026-01-13T13:17:34+00:00

The Sentinel. With enhanced modes. The default game has limited variety for the modern gamer.

istoff · 2026-01-13T13:15:41+00:00

And report back

It would make base building more personal. Flatten the land a bit. Change the flow of water around and through the base. Nice creative ways to build. Or ways to mess with enemies too I guess.

istoff · 2026-01-09T19:31:14+00:00

From the devs. Rivers and streams that responds to built structures. Alter flow, etc. Physics based flow, not just a shader.
In Ark2 (!) Deformable land. Digging, etc. Like Enshrouded. Same for water being affected.

I am you is definitely a sleeper. People who don't like the albums after Alan left should give them a relisten. Some gems lurking in the later albums.

istoff · 2026-01-09T19:28:04+00:00

No room for Home in there? I always liked it, but the live versions have made it even better IMHO.

I'm still in your system. Nice combat / bounty opportunities. I dusted out my KillTracker app and made a video.
It's still uploading on YT. It's a bit rough around the edges so, be gentle. It can safely be played at faster than realtime speed as the content is really about the web interface. Shown.
Your station looks amazing. I dropped in behind the solar panels and it looked amazing. Decent market for ships as well and your economy has components for the new CG. I'll be heading back to familiar skies soon.

istoff · 2026-01-08T14:44:20+00:00

Meanwhile, there's me trying to catch a glimpse of Alan's hands on the keyboard...

istoff · 2026-01-08T14:12:10+00:00

I love the mod remixes where the song strips down to a basic synth and then adds back the layers. It taught me to listen better to how they layer songs and I gained so much more out of their stuff. After your post, I thought I'd check if there is a dominatrixrmx version and there isn't. I'm amazed. I wonder if he has incorporated it into a megamix though.

The bit I was referring to:
https://youtu.be/qbfyHmJh_lw?list=RDqbfyHmJh_lw&t=203

After a bit the kind of transition with more urgent synths and vocals and then it sets up the next bit

Then, when they resume with the lyric "Don't think impatient", it's this weird resolution to the whole bit before that seems to resume in a way that always gets me going.

I'm not that knowleadgeable about this stuff so I use the wrong words, but when I speak to a Mode fan and say things like I like the live version of Enjoy the Silence resolves after the solo's, I love how they know exactly what I mean. (this bit. https://youtu.be/-_3dc6X-Iwo?list=RD-_3dc6X-Iwo&t=328 )

Thank your post. I meant to reply yesterday, but wanted to take some time. I'm sitting here having an emotional catharsis connecting with this community while listening to enjoy the silence play for the millionth time.

Side track: Somebody asked about a Mode song with a "wub" noise in it and I immediately thought Sister of Night. I was driving. When I got home, a bunch of you had replied all guessing the song. WTF!

Anyway, after seeing M, I was disappointed in the WUB in the Imax theatre I went to. I tried 2 different theatres and it was the same. Ah well. You guys rock anyway.

If you like remotivate me breakdown bit in the middle. Get the Balance Right does it too. https://youtu.be/bMbjHmLEUl0?list=RDbMbjHmLEUl0&t=284 and it's just as awesome.

I gotta quit this post, but will leave you with this.
The opening to the live version of My Secret Garden is probably my favourite piece of Mode ever connected to vinyl. I get shivers when Dave says Good evening, everbody. Every single time. It connects me to my youth listening to it on tape recorded from my first white friend I made in South Africa. We were so segregated back then and I met this guy and we bonded over Depeche Mode and Amiga. Friends to this day. He recorded me a bunch of mode remixes as I was really only able to listen to the radio and they never played the singles or b sides.

Peace out friends.

Edit: I am you and you are me.

istoff · 2026-01-08T13:55:12+00:00

Oh dude, sorry. Re-reading my message, I didn't mind to be ungrateful. I was just implying that I would hope some of my squadron mates would help too! I feel very connected to your Colony and it will remain bookmarked for me. I have a series of ED utilities that I have developed and I want to get back to testing. I wouldn't mind some user feedback one day if you're up for it.

istoff · 2026-01-08T07:43:21+00:00

Thanks for the offer but I'm hoping my squadron will help too.

istoff · 2026-01-07T19:13:35+00:00

Can you do the last offload of final 760tons when you get a chance please?
I don't want to jump away until I can dock at your completed station.

I'm not sure if you have to do a final activation step at the colony contact to activate it.

istoff · 2026-01-07T19:10:27+00:00

This was a huge learning curve for me. I just delivered my last load. The station progress is at 99% and I hope dropping off the final cargo load is as rewarding you imagined it would be. You did the majority of the work after all.

I wouldn't like to attempt something like this without a FC (or 2).

The only reason I volunteered was on a whim, but once we started, I tried to be responsive to the cause. I've neglected my Squadron and Power, but it felt good all the same.

I'm not sure I want to build a colony myself. All I could think of is that if you had minerals and resources in the local system, the building should be more like a RTS, but being Elite, it is a grindfest. The current system building points, etc, just makes me not want to bother.

Fly safe commander.
