I've downsized in the life so much before that it was depressing seeing so much empty space in my home :(

I started uni in 94 and that's where I discovered pinball. Twilight Zone and Addams Family in the student union I believe, and Fish Tales. Then the arcade near work with Demolition Man (the one Sly movie even Rob Schneider couldn't ruin Beeg!), and Star Trek TNG.
All cool games! I was hesitant to buy an old machine (previous 4 were all new) as I thought 30 years of everything on the table being purposefully smashed into by ball bearings must have some detrimental effect. However, the Dredd is super clean & perfectly functioning (checked over by a reputable pin tech).
And so, the rabbit hole deepens...

ok, just finished Dredd, it was as good as I remembered. Lena Headly being evil before GOT and Domnhall Gleason being ginger before star wars and peter rabbit :)

and pre ex-machina, forgot he was in that! Another Alex Garland masterpiece.

And of course he was a Weasley, only so many ginger actors in the uk lol

Thank you imdb.

Damn good film. Doom tomorrow, I doubt that I'll be saying the same but I remember it being fun at least. Rock, Urban and Rosamund Pike not busting a bodice or starring in a shit bond film. Whats not to like?
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

I like how Urban captured Dredds lankiness also. I can imagine they tried the oversize boots and shoulder pads and badge but it didnt quite work in the real world

Pretty much how I'd describe Sly Stallone in the Judge Dredd movie! :rofl:
I'm not so optimistic about whether Netflix will do a good job with the adaption. Their writers completely shit the bed with The Witcher, which is a damn shame as you could've not picked a better actor as Henry Cavill to play Geralt. He's a massive nerd, extensively played all the Witcher games before the role, a good actor and just frickin' ripped from top to bottom.

I’ve got an Analogman ARDX20 and Pepers Dirty Trees on the way. The analogman is by far the most I’ve ever spent on a pedal. Hoping for good things.

I've already got the Origin Cali76 Bass but have been waiting for these to arrive for yonks. Something to A/B and either flick the loser or look into live serial compression...

Maybe some individual G strings since you probably won't be able to get a whole set for $20?

Ach, I’m trying to downsize, and this is a crazy amount of money for a fuzz pedal… but this was just too perfect for me to pass up… A Foxx Tone Machine with a separate footswitch for the octave… in the best looking enclosure I have ever seen! Cervantes!
