Probably cant find a pic and even less likely to be able to insert it into this forum.


But that pic reminds me of "The Real Ale Twats" I buy the Viz annual religiously every October :)

I read the Viz every month too. It's the only magazine I still subscribe to and I love it.

Inaccurate, as I don't really drink much real ale anymore.

This review on Eurogamer prompted me to watch Atari: Game Over, you know, that film about excavating the E.T. landfill.

It's free, and a great watch. In fact, I would call it unmissable for anyone in possession of even a tinge of nostalgia over video games or interest in their history, if only because it's really very well put together. For someone who got into programming because of video games of the 1980s, the story of the obviously brilliant Howard Scott Warshaw (programmer of E.T.), and how working at Atari and getting assigned this task affected his life was surprisingly moving.

(And, reviewing the Eurogamer review, Dan Whitehead is a complete cock - as usual).

I've had this on a tab on my home pc for a while now, meaning to go back and watch it, but I totally forgot! :) thanks for the reminder.

(I left the tab open due to the million hoops I needed to go through to get access to it! Trying to watch it on an OSX machine is a little annoying ;))

I ended up watching it in bootcamp since the mac side would never work for me (and the 360 just got stuck in an update loop) - I enjoyed it - i do think Chinny should watch it since there is an Amstrad (464) in there at around the 10 minute mark :-)

Absolute injustice (worse than Ferguson) that Mel, Foggy, Jimmy and Tinch are the only four up for eviction. As much as I'm getting annoyed a bit by Sykes (which is irritating, as i used to fancy her rotten), Kendra needs to fuck off.

Wasn't it though? Tinch and Sykesy were machines, jimmy was hilarious, and Foggy was just ace. I love Foggy.

Jimmy gone! Surprise. Was that cos of the "bantz"with the prepubescent girls' favourite, Jake? Or because he was a massive pussy?

The Bantz with jake was seen by virtually everyone in the camp and 75% of people in a poll afterwards as bullying.

Not sure I agree with that, but that's why he went.

Mind you, there's no way he'd have been voted out if he'd been up against Nadia, Edwina, Kendra etc.

True, he was up against a rapper with a large fan base in the voting age bracket, and two people who have shown themselves to be machines in the trials. He had no chance, as its a vote to save, not a vote to evict.

Ok, so I got Dark Souls alike Lords of the fallen n my PC box.

It's practically unplayable. A juddery inconsistently speeded mess even when graphics options are reduced to a minimum.

And I hope many of the gameplay problems are due to that rather than just due to it being shit.

Quote:
Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.

The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 requires that video-on-demand (VoD) online porn now adhere to the same guidelines laid out for DVD sex shop-type porn by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).

Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board has banned the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:

Spanking
Caning
Aggressive whipping
Penetration by any object "associated with violence"
Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)
Urolagnia (known as "water sports")
Female ejaculation
Strangulation
Facesitting
Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".

While the measures won't stop people from watching whatever genre of porn they desire, as video shot abroad can still be viewed, they do impose severe restrictions on content created in the UK, and appear to make no distinction between consensual and non-consensual practices between adults.

"There appear to be no rational explanations for most of the R18 rules," Jerry Barnett of the anti-censorship group Sex and Censorship told Vice UK. "They're simply a set of moral judgements designed by people who have struggled endlessly to stop the British people from watching pornography."

More worryingly, the amendment seems to take issue with acts from which women more traditionally derive pleasure than men.

"The new legislation is absurd and surreal," Itziar Bilbao Urrutia, a dominatrix who produces porn with a feminist theme added to Vice UK. "I mean, why ban facesitting? What's so dangerous about it? It's a harmless activity that most femdom performers, myself included, do fully dressed anyway. Its power is symbolic: woman on top, unattainable."

In a piece for The Independent, award-winning erotic film director Erika Lust said that she believes "we need to rethink what is offensive or dangerous and what is, in fact, normal human nature, and remember that it’s more important to educate than regulate."


So 'Verbal abuse' is now not allowed in UK Pornography - phew !

Pornography produced in the UK was quietly censored today through an amendment to the 2003 Communications Act, and the measures appear to take aim at female pleasure.

The Audiovisual Media Services Regulations 2014 requires that video-on-demand (VoD) online porn now adhere to the same guidelines laid out for DVD sex shop-type porn by the British Board of Film Censors (BBFC).

Seemingly arbitrarily deciding what is nice sex and what is not nice sex, the board has banned the following acts from being depicted by British pornography producers:

Spanking
Caning
Aggressive whipping
Penetration by any object "associated with violence"
Physical or verbal abuse (regardless of if consensual)
Urolagnia (known as "water sports")
Female ejaculation
Strangulation
Facesitting
Fisting

The final three listed fall under acts the BBFC views as potentially "life-endangering".

While the measures won't stop people from watching whatever genre of porn they desire, as video shot abroad can still be viewed, they do impose severe restrictions on content created in the UK, and appear to make no distinction between consensual and non-consensual practices between adults.

"There appear to be no rational explanations for most of the R18 rules," Jerry Barnett of the anti-censorship group Sex and Censorship told Vice UK. "They're simply a set of moral judgements designed by people who have struggled endlessly to stop the British people from watching pornography."

More worryingly, the amendment seems to take issue with acts from which women more traditionally derive pleasure than men.

"The new legislation is absurd and surreal," Itziar Bilbao Urrutia, a dominatrix who produces porn with a feminist theme added to Vice UK. "I mean, why ban facesitting? What's so dangerous about it? It's a harmless activity that most femdom performers, myself included, do fully dressed anyway. Its power is symbolic: woman on top, unattainable."

In a piece for The Independent, award-winning erotic film director Erika Lust said that she believes "we need to rethink what is offensive or dangerous and what is, in fact, normal human nature, and remember that it’s more important to educate than regulate."


So 'Verbal abuse' is now not allowed in UK Pornography - phew !


It's beyond absurd. if 'Friends' were subject to these rules it would be banned. Ridiculous.
