People who step of the escalator and then decide to stand still, despite the fact there is a MOVING STAIRCASE FULL OF PEOPLE COMING UP BEHING YOU, OLD FARTS!

That's why in London you stand on the right, walk on the left. I thought it was silly when I first moved here; now I realise it's such a time saver.

What grinds my gears is when people use the extra s after an apostrophe on words ending in s when showing possession. I know there's more than one opinion on its use, including whether to use it after only common nouns or proper nouns, so some of you will disagree with me, but when your primary school teacher crosses out your entire homework for using apostrophes everywhere that leaves a mark..

For me it will always be Bridget Jones' Diary

Some things you just come to expect, like an uninstall option, a right mouse button and a key each for backspace and delete. Haha.

Control-click for right mouse button or - if your mouse supports it - change to two button mode in Preferences.

I don't really use delete but apparently:

fn + backspace
Deletes the characters to the right of the cursor.

âÅ'Â¥ option + backspace
Deletes the first word on the left of the cursor.

âÅ'Ëœ cmd + backspace
Delete a complete line or paragraph on the left of the cursor. It can also be used for removing files.

Goodness next you'll be wanting a PrntScrn key[emoji6]

(it's Cmd-Shift-3 or Cmd-Shift-4 depending on whether you  want the whole screen or just a part. Have to admit I have trouble remembering which is which)

Anyway, nice to see you around man. Don't stray too far next time :-)

Thanks for the kind words. I hope to be more present in 2016

That's actually the Mac way of uninstalling software. You can just drag the app's icon to the trash. Note this is the main app icon, usually found in your Applications folder. If you drag the one from the Dock you're just deleting the shortcut to launching that app. Rather counterintuitively, you also unmount drives the same way: by dragging them to the trash (the icon will change to an eject symbol). If you're not worried about any supporting files such as preference files that may remain, then you're done.

Otherwise you want to look for the Application Support folder in your user Library folder (normally /users/your user name/Library/ if location hasn't changed in the latest OS) and manually remove the associated files. Good explanation of this here -  http://www.cultofmac.com/90060/how-to-completely-uninstall-software-under-mac-os-x-macrx/ - though I would avoid the last part about kernel extensions. Just don't go deleting everything willy nilly..

I actually use CleanApp - http://www.syniumsoftware.com/cleanapp - to ensure an app is (supposedly) fully removed. However, unless your Mac is getting slow you can pretty much live happily in ignorance just dragging apps to the trash.

EDIT: I just realised you said 'game'. Same as above but if it's via Steam then remove it that way. If it's via the MacAppStore you can likewise remove it from the Updates tab there, or by clicking and holding on the icon in LaunchPad until it jiggles then clicking the X to remove it.

Three years old already, happy anniversary!

Good god I'd kill for a Wadjet Eye Dresden game

This, oh hell yes, this!

Great podcast as always guys - keep the humour in the workplace

The Fifth Elephant?...I mean...The Fifth Element?

That even.. I will crawl back in my hole now..

At last something I recognise anddd.. nope, it's gone.. I can't remember what it is..

I want to say Flintstones but it's not (that one looks more like a wild boar)

Doh.. just my luck not checking the page before. It's Blade Runner as Baron said

I still play games on cassette

Nice walking around with your voices whispering in my head *ahem*

No big deal, but for some reason all the episodes are listed as published 1st Jan 2001 in the iPhone Podcasts app.. maybe the pubDate in the XML file?

@Tramponline @Tabata Thank you both very much, it's nice to be remembered

Sooo I'm flying off to New York a week on Monday for a little pre-Christmas holiday!!

Aside from the usual tourist traps, and geeking out on the feeling of being in a CSI episode, has anyone been to the Big Apple who can perhaps recommend some places to go/things to do etc?

i love this movie.. didn't get it from the first screen shot though,
firestarter?

I think so too, great film You bet me to it, but I was just surprised to see a film in here I actually think I recognise. I didn't recognise the other screenshot though..

Haha excellent third podcast - this is becoming a mandatory part of my saturday morning routine, love it=) I really liked the format of it this time around with the discussion topic (remakes) and the reviews section. It just keeps getting better and better.

On a side note, I haven't seriously played Abe's Odyssee but I loved Exoddus so I am shocked that they want to start doing remakes. I don't see the point since they're on the Playstation Store anyway. I agree with the sentiment about doing remakes so that games can be played on modern platforms. I wouldn't have thought the original Tombraider needed a remake but they made a good job of Anniversary.

Listened to this when I woke up this morning.. what madness!

I agree about the music being a little loud near the end, although overall it was very well put together. Thanks for the talk about animation. I don't have to ask my noobish questions now

I loved it, especially Grundislav's stuntman story. At first I thought you were going to say you'd walked into the bedroom wall or something silly but no, and not even away from public scrutiny either.. Wish I was your neighbour. Legend

Look forward to more.. I don't want to be a Loser.

you always remind me of Cowboy bebop !! 

Haha that's the plan! Thanks guys, and belated birthday wishes to SinSin's little girl

Happy birthday gameboy, have a good one!

Aw Tabata, thank you so much!!

[Suggestion:]

Been playing with this tonight to do some proof reading and I have to say it's fantastic

Suggestion: it would be good if the columns could be rearranged

Unexpected behaviour: when resizing columns, the table automatically scrolls to the top.

Looking forward to seeing this evolve

                               
This thread makes me really nostalgic because
(I confess) back in the days of "Lady Bump" I did the bump, too.

Haha, fantastic! My parents always dance the bump to Nutbush City Limits by Ike and Tina Turner, and they're way better than those two in your video, trust me

@Monsieur OUXX

Bizarre! I use Chrome myself but I fiddled around with Firefox 3.6 on my Mac and I didn't see this behaviour. A quick Google has suggested it could be due to:

• A website loading Java content
• A naughty plugin causing the issue
• Having the text navigation accessibility thingy turned on (F7)
• The website itself handling focus on textboxes - on this one I do see the issue in FF 3.6 when clicking on the first box but i've just upgraded to FF10 and the issue is gone

Sorry I can't be more help.

Welcome folks, look forward to seeing your wonderful creations

[Time Masters]

It was Time Masters (aka Les Maîtres du Temps) Based on Stephan Wul's The Orphan from Perdide

Looks great and it's on Play with artwork and English subs for a not too shabby £9.99 - yoink - another one added to my collection=D

Continuez gameboy..
