I moved to Yorkshire earlier this year, and we can see Ingleborough, one of the Yorkshire three peaks from the end of our road. It’s looking very picturesque at the moment.
Northern England is so beautiful. I was in Northumberland in 2008, I loved that austere, rugged landscape. I hiked along Hadrian’s wall.

I’m disappointed they didn’t keep the tagline as Finger Lickin’ Good.

To which “Jerry” do you refer, sir? Because I’m not going anywhere near that channel.

The weird thing is that everything that was shown in the run-up to release looked pretty poor too. So I don’t know what people were expecting.

When you base your whole identity around computer games it becomes personal – the game has to be good because it’s tied to your sense of self-worth, so they convince themselves that the game is going to be great, buy into the hype, pre order multiple copies of the game so it’ll get even higher on the sales charts
The same thing happened with hardcore Sherlock fans. When they were disappointed by the last episode they became convinced the drama advertised as airing the following week was a red herring and there was going to be a secret 4th episode that would make everything make sense. There was an elaborate conspiracy, it was amazing.

Two things about the brick-wrapped car; firstly, WHY??? And secondly, I like that they blacked out the registration plate to preserve their anonymity.

People buy fancy editions with big boxes and statues and books and other assorted crap.
Think of it like those idiot comics fans who buy the same series in floppies then in TPB then in HC then in Absolute then in Omnibus. Glad I don’t know anyone like that!

I’ve seen people claim they pre-ordered multiple copies to support the game and the publisher and I have no reason to doubt them. I assume if you’re deep enough in the rabbit hole that buying multiple copies of a game for reasons other than to gift them to friends then you don’t have a lot of social outlets that aren’t computer games, and as such don’t have much competition for your disposable income. Also, Cyberpunk was on pre-order for a very long time, so one could theoretically drop the €60 per order over the course of months if you were so inclined,

Or people who buy a T-shirt at every gig they go to in order to support the band… *covers up the tour shirt I’m currently wearing*

I was just thinking of that actually, because I do drop a lot of money on bands I want to support. But any money I spend is on a unique product I actually want. I wouldn’t buy three identical t-shirts at a gig, or six copies of a new album, no matter how much I love the band.

I actually read A Christmas Carol for the first time last week and then watched The Muppet Christmas Carol (on VHS!) the day after. It was interesting to note the differences actually. Also, utterly impossible to picture any of the characters in the prose version as anything other than their Muppet counterparts.

I love A Christmas Carol, it’s one of my favourite stories, but there have been too many versions of it for me to have a definitive cast in my head when I read the book.
I will say though that Caine is one of my favourite Scrooges and actually turns in a really decent performance. Him playing it so straight is what makes the film.

Apparently Michael Caine has said that Muppet Christmas Carol was one of his most enjoyable movie making experiences

Caine’s Scrooge is brilliant. I was surprised though by how much more sympathetic Dickens’ Scrooge is. Sure he’s still keen on prisons and poorhouses and thinning out the “surplus population”, but he gets into the spirit of things really quickly and changes in demeanour almost as soon as he meets the first ghost. Plus, it’s made pretty clear that he’s mostly just lonely. The only real family he had was his sister, who died, and he can’t bear to spend time with his nephew because he reminds him too much of her. His fiance dumped him because she was judgemental of who he might become (moreso than who he had already become; either way, he’s not as much at fault as the Muppet one is for continually postponing the wedding) so he threw himself into his work, his colleague became his only real friend, which was a shame because he was an arsehole, so Scrooge hardened to suit. There’s more nuance to it than many adaptations, where it’s just that Scrooge was always a bad person (such as in the Muppet version, where he’s aghast at the cost of the Fozzywig Christmas party).
The other thing that surprised me about Dickens’ original is that Scrooge’s clerk isn’t actually named as Bob Cratchitt initially. It’s not til halfway through Scrooge and the Ghost of Christmas Present spying on the Cratchitt family Christmas that it’s explicitly said that Bob works for Scrooge and isn’t just some rando.

To be fair, there is a segment of the population that will use “it will turn me gay” as an excuse not to do anything they don’t want to do.

Also, if Carbon is a Satanic element, what do you call a supernatural being who compares his body to something made of carbon chains? And bread is made of carbon chains!

Why did God make humans out of a satanic element? No wonder Original Sin is such a problem, we were built that way!
