Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Milk comes in {chat}s
Mojo_JojoTough on mime. Tough on the causes of mimeRegistered Userregular
Since the dawn of time until the eighties, the glass bottle with a one-use lid reigned supreme.
It was a simpler time, when a man in a flatcap would leave milk on your doorstep and you didn't have to worry about the local kids either stealing it to buy crack, or putting meth in it.
Up till the early nineties, we dealt with cartons
It was a bleak time and the best we could hope for was some kind of handy built-in top to try and mitigate the inevitable mess.
And then, people realised that tops should screw, and the plastic bottle was born
The world became a better place, but soon it became clear this was incredibly wasteful. Largely due to local councils and their confusing rules for recycling milk bottles, which often ended in angry bin men strewing them across the road each Wednesday morn.
Welcome to the future!
And then you flood your whole damn kitchen with it.
Also, it is not for people who desire anything other than semi-skimmed, because you simply can't buy it in bags.

Yeah. Well they were giving them out free when they first launched the stuff. I'm led to believe that it's also how they have rolled in Australia for some years now.
Cancer is when cells stop letting the body mooch off their hard work - clearly a community of like-minded cells should isolate themselves and do the best job each can do, even if the rest of the body collapses!
But I'd buy anything if it was cheaper for I am poor.
It's about 10% cheaper. The problem being only Sainsbury's sell it, so I can't pop to the local Tesco Metro if I run out of milk. It's been really successful for forcing me into brand loyalty.
You know, for a disaster movie with religious overtones - the twist in Knowing was surprisingly refreshing.
Although seriously
Spoiler:
Those alien were dickhead eugenecist jerks, who probably killed a bunch of people to make sure their "prophecy" came true.
That was probably one of the three worst films I saw last year. Seriously poorly done in almost every way that matters. And it took itself with such self-aggrandised importance.

Oh yeah. It's a bad movie. But still: that was actually a decent twist, just probably bad that that was the one they went with.

If that woman's cleavedge made one more person pick the game up off the shelf, it was a net positive for microprose. And to be blunt, if taking her top off could have increased sales enough to get a sequel, I'd endorse it 100000% because I like playing great games.
Also I can't be bothered reading posts longer then about 4 paragraphs max.
If it's longer then that then it's not a post - it's an essay - and you can't reasonably respond to any of the points in a way which is going to matter to whoever wrote it.

I'm so tempted to buy the new edition of Betrayal at House on the Hill for the board game evening next week, but I just bought Rock Band 3, so the entertainment budget needs to recuperate a bit first.
I've never been sure why we had to specify chat as [chat]. It's not like it's a bbcode tag. It looked lonely without any though, so he got some fancy curly ones.

Makes it Searchable.
And jumps out at you, same reason why they're so common in G&T for various games.

The problem I have with aliens invading modern Earth movies is that you just know a deus ex machina is necessary in there in order for us to win at the end. Either that or we just lose all at once.
What you want is a half-assed alien invasion. Or something set far enough in the future that we have a chance.
Basically, someone needs to turn Freespace and Freespace 2 into awesome movies. Like, 10% space fighters, 20% capital ships blasting each other to pieces, and like 40% Hallway fight.

I may be slightly biased as my father works for a major carton-producing company.
bagged milk?
what a terrible culture

I'm sure you regret dating that racist

no u?
Ah, Skyline. The trailer looks vaguely interesting. The acting looks abysmal, but I don't watch a movie with aliens blowing shit up for the acting.

which is often very helpful
I assume that's the idea behind all bracketed titles

Those are reasonable points.
