Cool, you play the Orange Box. Don't go ahead and make a Half-Life article, i want to do that. Are you by any chance from Facepunch Studios? I couldn't help noticing the "Grammar Nazi" thing in your profile. - Flying Dane

Heh, i'll leave the Half Life article to you then. Good luck with it!

Nah, I'm not from Facepunch. Although i do go there often...

Survivors

Good work on the additional screencaps. I am currently watching the show on BBC America, but I don't have HD so I can't do screencaps. When I was in the U.S. Army and stationed in Germany (1993-1996) I made friends with a really nice lady from Scotland who had the complete 70's Survivors on VHS. I watched all three seasons a couple times and thought it was a very interesting show. So when I learned that BBC America was going to be showing the new version I was excited despite all the bad things I'd heard. They are showing the first and second seasons back to back. Episode 4 of the second season will air this Tuesday. I have to say that the second season is stronger, but I don't think it's a bad show. Actually it reminds me of Stephen Kings The Stand. And it shows me what a remake of the The Stand would look like only with the supernatural aspects. Once again good work. Glad to see the page is being updated. --Jcordell 23:36, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Cheers! I hope the updated page didn't spoil anything. The second season of Survivors, I think, actually reminds me more of 28 Days Later (more conflict, trying to escape bad people and find safety etc.), although I've never seen The Stand, or the original 70's version, so I may be way off base on that comparison. Still quite a good show overall, don't really understand all the criticisms it's been labeled with. Anyway, thanks again, and I'll try to keep the page updated as much as I can. :D Chef Brian_Hello! 14:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

I think the trouble is that many people are comparing it to the original and don't understand that the original isn't perfect. Actually in the case of the original I thought the first season was the strongest and the second and third seasons were weaker. Though there were some excellent episodes in the later seasons. Like the two parter in the second season where they go into London. Incidentally you aren't the first person to compare 28 Days Later to Survivors. And they both have the same type of "vibe". No you didn't spoil anything for me. I've already gone to imdb and Wikipedia and read the synopsis of the episodes. I'm one of those people who reads the last chapter and then finishes the novel. Take care. --Jcordell 20:19, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

You Have Returned

Where did you go?--Jcordell (talk) 22:15, 21 March 2015 (EDT)

University, unemployment and lots of unwanted 'drama' in the family as well as with friends. Back with a brand new internet connection, a new career path and no more drama, so hopefully I can add something to this place again! :D --Chef Brian_Hello!

Great. Glad to see you back. I'm not creating as many pages as I was five years ago, but I'm still around and still a moderator so I guess they don't have any problems with me. I've added a few pieces to my collection since we last spoke, but my oldest daughter is now attending university so more of my money is going to that and not to buying firearms. But I still get one or two in a year. Police officers aren't wealthy. --Jcordell (talk) 22:31, 21 March 2015 (EDT)

This place has changed a bit hasn't it! Getting myself used to all the wiki formatting again haha! I'm fully sure my parents would sympathize helping out financially during university, despite the drama they did help me out a lot during the Uni years. I'm sure it'll all pay off in the end, although I can't say much, being a clerk in an office in Blighty doesn't pay much better! The last firearm I bought (secondhand) was the CZ .17 rifle, early 2014, and that was to clear away some rabbits on my parent's land, so don't despair just yet haha! --Chef Brian_Hello!

Yes there have been some changes around here. Many more non-English language movies and television shows have been added. In particular Russian, Korean and Polish as well as Italian. Games are still very popular as well. It's still a great site and one of my favorites. I've taken to creating pages for older/obscure movies that many of the members might not even know about. It's fun.--Jcordell (talk) 23:19, 21 March 2015 (EDT)
