There's a Secret Vehicle on the Millennium Falcon!

Ickster says...

The Millennium Falcon is a perfect cross between a kid's dream fort, and a 70's teen's dream van. It's freedom, it's got cool hiding places, it has a Habitrail leading to the feaking GUNS--what more could a young man want in a vehicle?

I know I've wanted one since the first time I saw Star Wars.

There are lots of a$$holes out there

My dad told me a story about when he was young, a guy was laying in the street like he was hurt/dead.

And back then people were doing that, once people would get out to check on them someone else hiding in a bush or behind something would run out and steal the car.

When you turned around to look for the car, guy on the ground would either hop up and beat the hell out of you with something, or hop on a bike/motorcycle and be on their way before you'd notice.


My grandfather had one of those big boat cars with the huge and noisy motors. He floored it going at this guy and those cars would do 80+mph in second gear and burn rubber when shifting into third...guy in the street hopped up and started running shortly after he heard them speed up. He told my dad, his thinking was that if the guy didn't move when he heard it..he was probably dead or too hurt to save anyway. He was a WW2 vet and didn't take much shit from people.

In this video, it's probably OK since there's so many cars around and people to see what happens that they wouldn't be able to beat you to death right then and there. But on a back street, I would not stop my car in a place where I could be blocked in if I saw a kid or adult laying in the middle of the road especially if there were hiding places on the sides.

I do love that song "Laughter in the Rain." I mean, not love like I'd like to give it a rimjob or anything...or oral sex...not like he's Annie Lennox...but it was a happy song in a time/space continuum when I was around ten years old and more monkey than man, climbing trees and chewing on dandelion stems, scouring unlikely places for thrown-away Playboy's and Penthouses and dreaming of a secret hiding place where I could have sex with women twice my age....

Zero Punctuation: Assassin's Creed 2

steroidg says...

Why are people so negative about this review? It's not the first time that Yahtzee gave a positive review. I've been playing it for 4 days now and it's pretty fun.

I think what he failed to mention is that the combat is less boring than 1 as in you can't just counter everyone you see and have a pile of dead bodies at the end. Some enemies have unblockable attacks that requires dodge or disarm, others have long weapons that can't be countered, so you go up close and slit their throat with a grab.

The chases are more fun too because you have fast guards who can run faster than you. It forces you onto the roof which has much less hiding place than before. You're not safe if you hide quickly either. The guards will search the hay stacks around the area you disappeared at by stabbing into it.

Policeman Pepper Spray Teen For Short Change

jwray says...

With a little sleight of hand, swapping a twenty for a ten from her left pant pocket out of view of the security camera, then ringing it up as a ten, then transferring the twenty to some hiding place when she walked out of the room, there's no way they could catch her by auditing the cash register, looking at the security tapes, or strip-searching her. You can't be 100% sure that she wasn't short changing the cop. Penn and Teller could easily pull it off. The cop probably saw it as resisting arrest. Common sense: If you don't wanna get pepper-sprayed by a cop, don't be yelling "fuck da po-lice" and resisting arrest. He used excessive force, but it was totally predictable and avoidable on the part of the cashier.

Arcade Fire- Elevator Session- Neon Bible and Wake Up

Krupo says...

>> ^critttter:
OK, I love their music, but they were arrogant and rude to whoever was in that elevator.


Dude, have you ever tried to perform live music? I'm the biggest ass on the PLANET when the show needs to start. Maybe some musicians are chill and humble, but I don't listen to them.

Plus, don't forget they were in Paris where this time of behaviour is to be expected.

Original source - http://www.blogotheque.net/Arcade-Fire

Some background on this glorious *rocknroll *bravo session:

"Win Butler had to slouch a little to fit into the freight elevator. He went directly to the back, leaned against the iron door, turned around, and taking a look at the grudging space, asked us: «Think we can all go back now?» Then he smiled a smile that a kid would give, so pure and honest like he had just found his hiding place. in Butler smiled, and five weeks of work seemed to crumble before us.

During those weeks I had been in continual contact with Vincent Morisset, who runs the Neon Bible site. Win and Régine had been responsible for coordinated our Take Away Show. We had discussed dates and places, imagining the Madeleine at night, the knoll at the Île de la Cité, an old café, a roundabout behind the Olympia...We checked the weather every day, put to despair by the cold front that’s passing through Paris. We had surveyed the entire inhumane neighborhood from top to bottom, trying to anticipate the crowd, the will power of the group, the cold, and the fatigue. Then suddenly we had a plan. Win asked if there was a freight elevator. We found it, he smiled, and the Take Away Show was no longer in our hands."


Some more after the cut:


We knew that the Take Away Show with Arcade Fire wouldn’t be like the others. The project was born for them because they’re of a different kind, a different essence. We had spent the afternoon with them and suddenly we realized, in a flashing instant, that «yes, this group is different.».

We had been playing the role of outsider the entire day, like a foreign body that latches onto the daily grind of these magnificent musicians. We had to adapt, through astonishment and wonder, as the band took up their tools and started to play. But Arcade Fire didn’t take us as outsiders. It seemed to unfold naturally: we entered into their logic, as they awaited us and eventually swallowed us up. It was now Win Butler’s Take Away Show, and we followed.

It was too cold to play outside after the show, so we initially thought about playing in the entrance hall during Electralane’s performance, but the Olympia didn’t allow it. All we had left was the freight elevator, and we had to do a little convincing to make it happen. On the other side of the elevator there was a door that would lead us into the concert hall. They could go back to the pit in the Olympia by exiting through there, and then re-exit through the door near the stage. Win wasn’t so hot on the plan...the venue was a little too big and it the whole thing sounded complicated. It took us about 20 minutes to convince him, not knowing at all what was waiting for us at the other end of this crazy idea. Win went back to tell Richard and Will to follow him to the elevator, with everyone asking when to play, or whether this was going to happen before or after the show. It’s going to be before. Régine was the only one who thought differently and there were a couple seconds of exchanging furious looks, which immediately settled and eased into resolution. The big guy won, and everyone went back to reconfigure the set-list.

Arcade Fire is a unique group. Everyone’s split up during the day, managing and wandering through his/her own affaires in the dressing rooms and corridors. No one seems to move about as much as Win, who manages everything, knows everything, watches everything, and hears everything. Afterwards, as show time approaches, everyone slowly comes together again, each still folded into him/herself. A couple notes sound from a bugle, Régina taps on a box, Jérémy amuses himself with a drum, and Tim does a little Monty Python dance. A mobile cacophony, a music that takes form, several people coming together, and some random and various snippets of songs to come. Everyone is concentrating alone, but at the same time following a trace towards the group’s uncanny unity. As the orchestra tuned and grew powerfully aligned, we started towards the elevator.

The rest waits on film. We all bunched into the elevator, and I took my position at Richard’s feet. They started off with an enchanting version of «Neon Bible» and then door opened, allowing us to approach and penetrate the massive torrent of fans. I didn’t think about anything more. I was taken by the fervor, watching Vincent Moon with his camera, screaming in silence, and thinking over and over again:

«We did it. Shit, we really did it!»


Amazing. I dare you not to feel *happy watching this bit of *shortfilms.

Wanted: Political/ Anti-War/ Protest Songs (Rocknroll Talk Post)

bamdrew says...

I always liked "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" as a 'pro-peace in the time of war' song.

Even though the official track was directly about a gunfighting, wild-west lawman talking to his mother while he lays dying, the lyrics were written to work for a dying soldier, or one just tired of the fighting...

http://www.videosift.com/video/Bob-Dylan-Knockin-On-Heavens-Door

"Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore.
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door."

Dylan also sang different lyrics every other time he played it live for a
time, either replacing one or two lines ("Mama put my guns in the ground, I'm sick and tired of the war") or changing the whole song;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHJBOOEkZ4o

"Mama wipe the blood off of my face
I cant see threw it anymore.
Need someone to talk to at my new hiding place
feels like I'm looking at heaven's door.

Mama I can hear that thunder roar
echoing down from God's distant shore.
I can hear them calling for my soul
feel I'm knocking on heaven's door."

Okay... for fun I'm sifting my favorite version.

It’s a Snipe Hunt! (Parody Talk Post)

gorgonheap says...

For those of you who don't know what the mating call of a snipe sounds like it's actually quite easy to produce. You simply need to lay out some Pokemon cards around your location and then in a high shrill voice say "Kirk is better then Picard!"

At this point the snipe will answer with a call saying "No way Picard could kick Kirks butt any day!"

After this your call should change to "Kirk has hair!" To which the Snipe will lunge from it's hiding place to attack. Upon glimpsing the Pokemon cards around you he will stop and examine them closely. Act quickly and fire as many shots as needed to take him down.
