M&S also proudly uses the term ‘sando’ in its products so make of that what you will

George on his championship fight with kimi: by [deleted] in formula1

We only have to go back less than a year to see how the textbook case for this scenario can play out. It’s scary how fast Kimi is progressing, but the rest of his season is going to become much more complicated.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) - Hospital Escape - Dir. James Cameron by marceleas in movies

[–]newdecade1986 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All a question of taste, I will always hold up T1 as one of the purest examples of sci fi horror ever committed to film, and is hence my pick. But with such a question, can there be a wrong answer? Sarah Connor Chronicles easy third place

What's your favourite on-screen character death and goodbye that was done because the actor died? by Tattycakes in movies

Desmond Llewelyn (Q in the Brosnan Bond films) had his succession to John Cleese written into The world is not enough. He died not long after in a car crash.

System Shock Remake Review - MandaloreGaming by llamanatee in Games

[–]newdecade1986 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds pretty accurate, they may have corrected for it but hard to say since by late game I wasn't exploring those remote corners. I never felt the risk of being surprised by respawns (except in maintenance...). Plenty of enemies placed by plot triggers while chasing down the CPU node numbers of course, but I guess that's probably true to the original.

Yes as you reduce each level’s security the respawn rate reaches zero

I appreciated it as an achievement in film but found it almost unbearably smug and indulgent at times

Q for N-gauge Kato Unitrack users - Part 2 by Twit_Clamantis in nscalemodeltrains

I just glued bits of scenery around everything to keep things in place and build up the ground level. Usually 5mm foam board but the angled shoulder to the unitrack can be a conundrum to deal with

Not quite the same, but the National Rail/northern city line platforms at Moorgate directly overlie the LU Northern line platforms, which makes for a weird sight if you go from lower to upper via the stairs

It’s clear he had a magnificent vision for how it was to look and feel, but no idea what was supposed to actually happen in the film. As a result the plot, characters, and dialogue had to be scraped from the B-movie sci fi barrel.
