I did bring a few bottles of wine to the welcome party, but Polly drank them all...

Man, you should see what we normally do to people who recommend books of other people in this part of the forum when those books turn out to be less than worthy. Polly Parrot used to be Polly Eagle but got downgraded fast for suggesting a self-pub's book was worth checking out... Sparkchaser...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21fDyvgte48 I was just listening to this piece of music. Damn I love FSOL. SO very very much. They're so awesome. When they integrate piano into their work it takes on a whole new vibe of genuine awesome sauce.

Because Lovecraftian recommended this I shall download and have a read sometime in the not too distant. I have an epic TBR pile though so may be a while. If it's not good I shall never speak to Lovecraftian again. Unless he threatens to shoot me (he is into guns in a BIG way) or does that thing...

In 1893 yes. But not 1892.

I am sorry. I will try harder next time. Zap, Kapow, Sploowify.

Juggernaut by Adam Baker - 4.5/5. Incredibly genre-aware action-horror novel with strong characterisations, fastidious research, and hints of a wider mthos lurking in the background. Baker knows his stuff, indeed.

I must admit Peder, I did chuckle in response to your post of the same thing, but not in an unfriendly way. Just that I read that description that chap wrote and it was a bit 'XXX' and then I saw your post about 'illustrations' and I thought you were being tongue in cheek and genuinely was...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a01QQZyl-_I&ob=av3n Here's the thing with Vanilla Ice. The guy could've been Eminem back in 1990. Seriously. He was respected in the circles in which he travelled and performed in his early days (which he happened to fall into accidentally). The difference with...

Damn, well spotted. That was supposed to read 'there', 'there' being a date in mid-August last year when summer wasn't quite at its peak, but almost was. Hence, 'shall I compare there to a summer day', vs. say a date in early September, when summer might traditionally be thought of to be over...

See, I am trustworthy. ;-) Possibly thousands might. I have a convincing way about me.

Well, maybe Guetta didn't want to make the same mistake Puff Daddy, now known as Diddy I believe (or could be Puffy) made when he didn't secure licensing from Sting before sampling same track for I'll Be Missing You with Faith Evans. Sting made an absolute BOMB from Diddy's song... so Guetta...

I don't know what you're insinuating. I put this together over my lunch break today. I ate a Pot Noodle Bombay Bad Boy and then composed this beauty of a poem for my friends on BAR to enjoy before the beads of sweat had evaporated from my brow.

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime...

I used to feel that way about Steam, but it's actually so convenient and has made moving games from one PC to another over the years so much easier than messing around with conventional media that are usually packed away/lost/missing. My only issue with Steam is that I will occasionally buy a...

:lol:

I used to enjoy some of Guetta's earlier stuff quite alot, but really cannot stand his more modern stuff. Burial has a new EP out, Kindred! I just picked it up off of iTunes this morning. Just came out last week. Damn I love this guy's music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC16FJTI6XM

Definitely guilty of this one from time to time.

At the end of the day, those who post and contribute to the forum set the tone. Here it seems we've got an honest mix of people fed up with the self-promotion area, and its knock-on effect on the site, and those who think that it has its place and are okay with it. Yes, it's unfortunate that the...
