    Neill Blomkamp films

    Not a lot to add here, I'm a big Blomkamp fan since he's one of the last noteworthy sci-fi writer-directors I've been keeping my eye on. Elysium was good, and he produced a short called Landfall for Halo back in the day that inspired a friend to make a Halo film of their own.

    UK government forces backdoor in Apple encryption: this is BAD

    I can't say I'm happy with the state of affairs of modern internet use, it's practically asking us to not use Twitter etc. That being said, these polices arguably aiming for the devils advocate too.

    NerdZone is rebranding

    Love graphic design, UI UX was always around the corner for me and never got into it. Maybe something creative should start on here?

    NerdZone is rebranding

    @Retro This is the best time to have a confidence in the forum brand. There's no better alternative: most people that have forum name swaps usually do that out of a pressure to modernise and IMHO it's not dated yet. I'm usually mulling long posts so I don't interact - still lurking tho!

    NerdZone is rebranding

    The best thing about Nerdzone imho is the shorthand NZ, and while xenForums has its appeal it lacks the utility that the current domain has. All forums are usually hampered by honestly odd names, and I would bet on NZ in the long run over xenForums. There's a uneasiness to most generic name...

    Games and individuality

    Hello! I'm returning to this line of discussion :) -- To most people commenting on my hot takes: I was recently watching a video A Hotline Miami fan recommends a clone that matches the original franchise. Most of my reviews are this ultimately - crawling around in the dark trying to find the...

    When is it too cold to walk your dog?

    If it's 4 degrees or less I'd say it's too cold for dog walking. It's been maybe a 3 year stint since I walked a dog though :cool:

    Half-Life 2: 20th Anniversary Specials expiring 18 November 2024 and documentary

    This is sweet. I wasn't a HL fan - besides the orange box - so seeing what all my friends were into back when I was growing up is a fun eye opener. There's quite a lot of games - wow :) I remember the Flash portal game extensively lol

    Customer service - days long gone

    The process of getting a doctor in the UK is affected by this passively. I kind of believe we're above needing to be grateful for government gateway: at least each health service in west london provides a different excuse why they can't provide any service, with the ones in my area outright...

    Amazing model Concorde

    Can't fault the eurostar. The most effective form of transport, it's that or by ferry - and that's the only option available.

    Games and individuality

    I know this probably won't mean much to many people, however I still want to have a little go at it (besides, it'll prevent me from doing a inane writeup on Dante or greek philosophy). Individuality in game design is largely dead. With games - especially creatively designed ones like...

    Amazing model Concorde

    Love the Rolls Royce engine planes - I heard the Concorde uses the same engine. Concorde is unique in how it's the fastest passenger airline and yet the only thing France and Britain worked on.

    Ghost jobs: why do 40% of companies advertise positions that don’t exist?

    I noticed this first-hand over the last decade. The fact is that the majority of work and jobs that people want are severely underpaid, falsely advertised and most likely aren't real. Both businesses and employees aspire to more, so both play this game.

    First world problems

    It's funny that. I run into this particular issue very often, though because the examples are usually subpar (and not worth mentioning) the issue ends up brushed under the rug most of the time. I usually use Metacritic and at least there users tend to fix these issues, though most services in...

    Taking steps against anonymous? That's new for Elon.
