    "Joseph Smith! Do Not Fuck A Baby!" is the greatest song title in existence. Wow.
    It's actually not a song title, but an exclamation from the far more tamely-named song "Joseph Smith American Moses", which is overall just absurd and all over the place.

    EDIT: Oh cool, you figured it out.

    That's fantastic! Lucas should make replicas of that cabinet with the same "defect". He could make (even more) millions.

    Watching that also led me to the following link, which is equally as funny...

    Oh hey, here it is on Rolling Stone's website, no Facebook or Liking required!

    They should have got Marc Shaiman to arrange this I think, the South Park movie's a better musical in that respect.

    Standout song is Hasa Diga Eebowai, proof that Mbaqanga saves everything

    I recommend Zombillénium to anyone who speaks French. If you don't speak French, you can still enjoy the images during the trailer. I really like the style.

    If anyone is interested I can translate the stuff that's written during the trailer, but I don't really want to do it for nothing.

    I love listening to Chris Barrie's reading of Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers. Just started listening to it again for the first time in years, mainly because I've just got the unabridged version of Better Than Life for my iPod through an offer with audible.co.uk and I prefer to go through things like these in order. Nice to get some use out of my old walkman after all these years too.

    Im in the process of getting a new PC (64-bit) and im currently collecting all the setup files for the stuff ill be using to save time.

    Im trying to get ScummVM but im unsure about the what file to download, I downloaded the windows 64bit zip but after I unzipped it and looked in the folder it crashes, does it crash coz im currently on 32-bit, i feel that cant be the reason because I never started the setup file I just opened the folder that contained the setup file.

    Any ideas?
  • edited June 2011
    If it's crashing just to look in the folder you unzipped it to, it sounds like something's very wrong with your current system, and you shouldn't bother trying to pre-download anything using it.

    Obviously, a 64-bit program won't run on your 32-bit system, but if it were working, you should still be able to look at the files OK.

    The trailer is cute. I don't really speak French, but I know enough similar words to figure out what it was kind of saying most of the time. An English translation would lose that interesting thing it did with changing one word to another by changing a few trailing letters.

    Ive looked a bit online and it seems this is a probem that a lot of people get.

    The error is:

    Windows Explorer has stopped working.
    Windows is searching for a solution.

    Windows Explorer is restarting.

    If anyone has had this before and found a solution please let me know.
  • edited June 2011
    I tried a few things and found out that the file that is causing the error/crash is a file in the ScummVM zip called "hugo.dat" does anyone know why this file would be causing this error/crash?

    It sounds to me like your current PC is on its last legs. The hugo.dat file is most likely the file required to run the newly added support for the Hugo games, there should be no reason that it would crash a healthy system. However, as Doodo has suggested; you should go to the ScummVM forums and request help just to be sure.

    thanks guys, I posted the question on the ScummVM forums.

    Its pretty hilarious the fact that I haven't paid full price for a 3DS game yet.

    Bought it around launch time with Super Street Fighter 4 3D and Ghost Recon Shadow Wars for £220 (unit price is currently £205 by itself, on launch it was about the same).

    Then I got Dead Or Alive Dimensions. Used my discount card and a clubcard voucher, so got it for £18.53

    And just now I bought The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D for £26.52 instead of the normal £35 pre-order (and likely release) price.

    What I should have paid:

    £205+£35+£32+£35+£34= £341

    What I actually paid:
    £220+£18.53+£26.52 = £265.05

    Its still a lot of money, but I'd argue its worth it.
    All the games I have good longetivity.
    (Even Ocarina of Time 3D, since it includes Master Quest as well. Plus its 3D zelda on the go, something I've never experienced before. I'm excited for it.)

    Next on the list: Star Fox 64 3DS
    (I freakin' love Star Fox 64, and though there is no online multiplayer, I'd definately get it because its just so damn replayable!! :D)

    *wonders, in a completely self-absorbed way, as to why so many marvelous people on this forum harbour such a potent dislike for myself*

    My black, withered heart's in the right place; as my intentions are friendly approximately 89.794% of the time. I guess I just lack the communication skill set required to make my tremendous and profound thoughts come across as clearly and concisely as I might please. Is one not supposed to greet fellow humans with a slap to the face via a basket of sour plums? Is it not polite and proper to present the youngest member of one's family with a hamper of diseased rats at Christmas?

    Ho hum, my cat loves me all the same, so you disapproving people can go and teach your wrinkly old Grandmother to suck a great many eggs.

    ...wait, why is my cat hissing and spitting at me with eyes of pure hatred?!

    Disclaimer: The above post is best served on a giant plate, with a bed of basmati rice and a liberal pinch of salt. It most definitely is not an attempt to make a Martyr of myself.

    Lawyer's Amendment: The above post and disclaimer may not be entirely accurate. Any claims made by our client Davies that he is not attempting to become a Martyr may not be entirely representative of his true intent. For more information on Davies' Martyr complex please refer to section 16-C/8 of the 'neurosis' manual.

    Mmm mmm, thanks for letting me know. That post was for the sole benefit of Alcoremortis and she enjoyed it, so there.
    Also, anyone who goes around telling people they have a martyr complex can eat their own shit.

    *sigh* I don't think you were online when a thread was up that's now been deleted. I was mocking a person who accused me of having a Martyr complex by playing along with the ridiculous accusation via this thread. Make sense now?

    For the record, I don't have a Martyr complex, nor do I go around telling people that I have one. Plus, I agree that such people can eat their own shit. Damn, I hate it when people come online and get only half the story.

    EDIT: Actually, what the fuck is up with people today?! Is this the annual worldwide "be a grumpy sod for a day" or something?

    Oh man, I'm sorry. I've got to return to a living hell tomorrow and I've had two people giving me a hard time today. I'm just feeling highly strung and on the defensive at the moment. Feeling like that and posting on a forum can be a dangerous combination.

    That cheered me up a bit and made me laugh. Then it made me think of the dystopian future we are no doubt hurtling towards. Now I am sad again. :(
