    Damn, I'm hungry now... Just gotta slaughter a few more settlers first, then food :)
    So far, so meh :)
  • Might as well eat the settlers afterward, can’t let all that meat go to waste :))

    Good thinking, waste not want not etc.. :)

    Hmm, where's Dogmeat, I need a change for tonight's meal...
    So far, so meh :)
  • Had a Big Mac and Fries last night, ordered via Just Eat!

  • I like McDonald's fries, but the rest of it is sub par.

    did you enjoy it?

  • It was nice but i noticed tonight my local branch is no longer on Just Eat! Must have been a fall out or something!

  • If it's a Fallout then polomint must be responsible, he probably went there and wasn't satisfied with their service ... so he put his sport bags full of weapons on the counter just like William Foster did in Falling Down, but unlike in the movie, polo just killed everyone!
  • :)) :))
    Maybe it was him but he'd have killed everyone inside! :D

    That's a great film, might watch it again today to get in the mood :D

  • I have it on DVD, my favourite scene is when those punks annoy him for sitting on a wall in 'their hood' :))
    Polo would have just murdered them!

  • I once had this exact scene zx1 is mentioning on my YouTube channel, though with a twist, so I have to explain this. Bear with me.

    Back in the 90s, a bunch of German students were sitting around, just shooting the breeze, drinking beer and talking crap. They had the TV on in the background, but it was muted. Star Trek:Next Generation was running and after some time they noticed each character had some apparent traits just from what you saw on screen, without any sound. Picard seemed always **** off and angry, Riker seemed like an utter clueless prat, Geordie would constantly be babbling some who-what-where-why nonsense etc.

    They then decided to do a voice-over: Picard constantly threatens his crew members with physical violence (while also having a penchant for alcoholic beverages). Worf was made into an utter joke, talking in a squeaky voice and being routinely told to go to bed at around 8 pm. Commander Data only had 1 Bit of memory capactiy and was said to be able to come up with the wrong answer to any single digit addition within only three hours ... and so on. The whole ship crew was utterly inept!

    Note that this was in the mid 90s, so they just had to make do with just a video recorder boasting a few additional functions - this was long before fancy video editing was easily doable. It was extremely funny and they actually made a few episodes of this. So where does Falling Down come in?

    Well, I painstakingly grabbed tons of little audio snippets from these guys' dialogues, then made a 5 minute clip of said Falling Down scene with the two latinos threatening D-Fens, dubbing it with the corresponding voice bits I took from the Star Trek footage. Took me a few hours to position all audio to make it as lip-synched as possible!

    A few days after I had uploaded this to YouTube, I got the typical legal notice (copyright claim by Paramount Pictures bla bla) so I just took it down, never to be seen again online ... for shame.

    That sounds fun, do you not still have it at all? Would be great to get it uploaded so we can watch :)

  • I vote for that too.
    Sod it!

  • Umm, they talk German, not sure you'd want to watch that.

    As an example, there's this Star Trek Next Generation episode called "The Chase", the original synopsis being:
    Picard tries to finish his old archaeology teacher's monumental last mission: solving a puzzle that leads Humans, Romulans, Klingons and Cardassians to the secret of life in this galaxy, revealing the origin of humanoid life.

    In the German voice-over, the plot has been drastically changed:
    The teacher is Picard's father who has come to visit to tell his son of an upcoming motorbike race. Picard has to win this race, as his father has apparently bet his whole pension on his son winning. In between all this, there is tons of inane dialogue.

    Here's a small excerpt from this episode. You may not understand what they're saying, but you'll see it is well made as far as lip-sync is concerned (and the sound effects are quite funny):



    In this particular scene here, (originally) Picard is having tea with Beverly Crusher and is telling her about this archaeology mission. In the voice-over however, they're drinking coffee instead and Picard keeps going on about how much he loves drinking piping hot, black coffee, without milk (at the end he notes he just squashed his own balls). Then it switches to another scene where (originally) Picard is talking with a few crew members, about something related to the mission - but in the voice-over they're all just again talking about black coffee. It ends with Picard threatening LaForge by saying "If you touch my coffee ... I'm gonna kick your ugly mouth ... out of your ugly mug". Well, something to that effect. Trust me, it is funny to a native speaker, as it is so totally out of character for the original Picard to say this.

  • I've been digging into the cookbooks that are on my kitchen shelf recently, just so that I have something other than Spectrum and QL programming to take my mind away from the mass hysteria that the world is gorging itself to bursting on. I prefer to gorge on something that's actually enjoyable, even if it doesn't turn out exactly how I'd like.

    So this is my contribution to the archive of INK 6. Note that I've teamed it with PAPER 0.

    This is all-'MURICAN Chicken Maryland (even though it's from a blue state). Presumably, the Timex models didn't handle their color... I mean, colour, differently to our regular Spectrums?

    Tonight's dins is baked acorn squash with brown sugar and nutmeg with smoked beef kielbasa.

    Either your plate is massive or your bangers are really really small. Did the dinner fill you up? :)

    Yeah it was quite a small dinner, actually it did quite fill me up but didn't stop me having 3 packets of Walker crisps later on! :))

    I assume you mean posting the code into BASin, rather than making dinner the way I did. Although you could do both.

    Gah! This is what I meant...

    40 PLOT INT (RND*100)+100,INT (RND*60)+100

    It must be because I've spent too long recently fiddling with the QL, where only the range has to be stated. In other words:

    40 POINT RND (100 TO 199), RND (100 TO 159)

    ...at least that's how it would have looked with the Spectrum coordinate system, but it won't. Tell you what, I'll write the entire QL program while I'm here. Leave out lines 10-30 if you're starting in TV mode.

    10 MODE 8
    20 WINDOW #2,448,200,32,16: PAPER #2,1: CLS #2
    30 WINDOW #0,448,40,32,216: PAPER #0,0: CLS #0
    40 WINDOW 448,200,32,16: SCALE 256,0,0: PAPER 7: CLS
    50 INK 4
    60 FOR n=1 TO 300
    70 POINT RND(250 TO 399),RND(100 TO 199)
    80 END FOR n

    The peas are a slightly strange shape, but that's the QL for you...

  • Your saucer doesn't look very crunchy, but that green thing could well be a bunch of heavily compressed frogs ...

    Roast Potatoes, Roast Parsnips, Mock Cauliflower Cheese, Brussel Sprouts, Mash Potato, and Tofurkey with stuffing and of course gravy.
