Who's The Daddy!
Just a bit of fun, there seems to be some controversy on just who is the toughest guy around?
Jack Bauer
or
Chuck Norris
Just click the picture for more quotes like these:
Jack Bauer once won a game of Connect 4 in 3 moves.
There is no chin under Chuck Norris' Beard. There is only another fist.

Best Of The Boxsets
For someone who does'nt watch TV I seem to be accumalting quite a few TV Series Boxsets. There's a lot of rubbish out there, but here is a list, in alphabetical order, of my favourite 8 boxsets. These are all TV series as opposed to film sets.
24
One of the cleverest set of thrillers I've seen in a long time. They're very hard hitting storys with Kiefer Sutherland laying a take no prisoners Counter Terrorist Unit agent. When you think these shows have no swearing, sex or real violence it makes it an even bigger achievment. Eash series is a day in the life of, allbeit a very bad day. Minus the breaks for adverts and each episode lasts about 42mins, which means if you had to watch it on Sky a quarter of the show was ads! Long live DVD eh.
Charles Dickens
Some of the best period drama series from the BBC all penned by Dickens. There's a host of British acting talent on these discs from Bob Hoskins to even Phil Daniels. Some amazing and timeless stories. The box itself has been created to resemble an old boox. Superb!
Family Guy
It's a cartoon, but not for kids. Featuring a dysfuntional family it has some superb characters. Peter Griffin, the dad, Stewie the homicidal toddler, and Brian, a talking dog. There are some great parodies in these boxsets, but my favorite has to be when they emulate the old Bob & Bing "Road To" movies with Brian & Stewie.
Full Metal Panic
Difficult to choose just one Anime set, but I chose Full Metal Panic over others such as Lain or Noir because it has such a good chunk of fun to it, as well as plenty of action.
Futurama
These are the best box sets I've ever bought. We must have watched them through about 40 times at least and they are still funny. Every character has a spark of genius to it from Sal the fat delivery guy all the way up to Fry the main character. A must have for anyone who likes a good laugh.
Sherlock Holmes
If you've ever read Conan Doyle's stories then you know Basil Rathbones character was good but not best, and Nigel Bruce's Watson was just a bumbling bafoon. Jeremy Brett's version is much truer to the stories, and Watson is much more like us as the observer struggling to see it for himself. Some very dark stories here but all acted marvelously.
Lost
What can I say about Lost. A superb story (so far) about survivors of a plane crash on an island full of mystery. The production values are film quality, which makes it an even bigger pleasure to watch.
Moonlighting
A blast from the past with Bruce Willis and Sybil Shepherd at there best. An incredibly fast paced witty dialogue shoot out that never stops drawing you in and playing you off against Dave and Maddy.

Original DOOM
Remember DOOM? Of course you do.
I downloaded JDoom yesterday from this site:
Doomsday
It allows you to play the old Doom games with high res graphics. Absolutely brilliant! It's completely free too! All you need is the original WAD file that is on your old DOOM disk. You can use DOOM, DOOM 2 or Ultimate DOOM, or even all 3.
Plus if you have a gamepad, you can use YoyToKey to emulate the keyboard commands.
JoyToKey is worthy of a mention all of it's own. A brilliant little application that emulates keyboard commands into joystick/gamepad commands. It's easy to use and so far I've succesfully used it on all the old Tomb Raider games.
It can be downloaded Here
Good gameing
