    Appreciate this is a bit of an off cut from the usual community but is anyone else embracing British culture and a queue enthusiast?

    Figured this could be a good thread idea so thought I'd plug this. You could be a gamer. You could be an eagle-eyed photographer. What if you were both? Well if that is the answer and you just happen to be a PC gamer, just how many times have you mashed the F12 key immediately after witnessing an awesome view? If you have any screenshots that are worth seeing, post it here! ...and you can almost guarantee that the majority of screenshots might be from Planet Coaster. That game is beautiful in every way. I have the proof and honestly my first thoughts when I saw this were very simply "How hadn't I seen this before??":

    Title says it all. Reading/writing is a huge passion of mine that only seems to grow at a continuous rate. This thread is for likeminded people who'd like to state their opinions on books, poetry, plays, as well as share their own mini-masterpieces! I doubt many people will, but enjoy[emoji14].

    Hola. It seems to be nearing my favourite time of the year; Halloween. I have so many scare events lined up, the hype is unreal! This topic is the perfect place to post absolutely anything horror related, ranging from Halloween costumes to horror films, scare event reviews and stories etc. Enjoy.

    Everyone needs a little photo fun in their life! So post your bizarre edits here! This is one I did in Paint - simply by stitching a photo of Nemesis together and have them mirrored to make it appear like a cobra roll sort of thing. The perfect symmetry of the tree in the background (symme-tree. *ba-dum-tss* ) makes it look completely innocent.

    In video games, music plays a big part. We remember many themes such as 'Super Mario Bros.' or 'Angry Birds'. These days we have many orchestrated video game themes which we associate with the game itself so we end up loving the theme, even if it's a genre we normally hate (I like orchestrated music normally). My favourite video game for music is Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, much of it is orchestrated and it just sounds amazing. The music is taken very seriously in this game (unlike other Mario games (except Super Mario 64)). Here's the credits theme for Super Mario Galaxy (1): I am aware that there are many other video games themes which pe…

    If you have made or bought any ride models share them in this topic below! I'll get us started; this is my recently constructed KMG Inversion ride model. Made fully out of K'NEX it uses both hand and motor power to provide the most accurate representation of the real ride possible. It took me around a week of hard work to design and construct this scale model! I know we have a fair few fans of Rock Rage on this forum(GladiatorfanKyle, DeanGaryCox to name a couple) so any constructive feedback and comments from anyone on here would be really appreciated so I can take advice for any future ride models I plan to construct.

    Every song has it's emotions attached! They can be motivating, enlightening...or even depressing. What songs bring what emotions whenever you hear them? Post them here! This song is the get-up-and-go for me. I listen to this album every morning en route to college and this is the first track...and heck is it a great song! Though I'm a huge fan of this song, there's still something about it that makes it rather depressing.

    Hi all, With it being Halloween and all, a lot of the topics have turned to the scary theme. With things like mckamey manor being discussed as well as fright nights and other events, I thought I would bring up this TV show. It's called release the hounds and it's where British contestants take part in a series of challenges in order to collect keys which then unlock chests containing cash. At the end of the show, the person with the furthest head start against the hounds will take on the run and have to try and escape the dogs, who ovbiously attack you if they catch you. The show is about teamwork and working together however has a Halloween theme, meaning that all the …

  16. So as I'm a little bit of an Apple Geek, I know for one thing I will be getting my Apple Watch next year. However I have also been with an iPhone for so long and am used to the way it works I am technically 'stuck' with the brand. However I have never really found any fault with the company in recent years and why change to that thing called android when your perfectly happy with IOS. Plus Iphone 6 Plus will have a nice big screen so I think I'll be upgrading my 4S next year too . So yes the Title may be Apple (As that is by far the better brand ) but as there are these other technologies that some crazy people think is better for some reason, I thought we should…

    I wouldn't usually post this on here, but promo is promo and the more places I put it, the more feedback I'm likely to get I don't know if this is the right section so apologies if it isn't. Maybe every time I have something new, I'll just update this thread, any constructive feedback is appreciated, and this particular song I wrote after watching a movie yesterday, lyrics first, and the music today so it is really rough and still a work in progress.

    If you've not come across Pentatonix, they are a fabulous American group who sing almost entirely A Capella, or Accappella, depending which dictionary one uses. Absolutely outstanding......http://pentatonix.org/ and I'll be catching up with them in Oxford on Thursday - which will be entirely different from having seen Rick Wakeman last week giving a live performance of "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" at the Royal Albert Hall.

    If you are like me, You have gone out and bought a reasonable camera, and then pointed it at your coaster of choice and produced a rubbish photo. For me, it's always when the weather isn't sunny. I got to the stage of being really dejected during the last Live feed that all of my night shots were.. dire. Then Mark (head of the Nerds) said "Do you know about the manual mode?".. My response was Urmm. Anyway. He did some bits and bobs to my camera and I managed to take : Did I really understand what he did? I have to admit Nope. I know he changed the ISO to a low number and then had me jiggle a dial but I hadn't a clue why. Well not till this lunch time when I found t…

    Lately, there is a lot of news flying about how mobile gaming will become more popular in the future. It's already popular today, and there's definitely a future market for it. Some prefer games consoles, whereas some prefer mobile gaming on phones or tablets. Which do you prefer? Lately I am more into more mobile gaming, I'm a big Diamond Dash addict and play every day on my phone, iPad or online. I've always enjoyed games consoles but not to the extreme. My mint-condition PS2 only gathers dust these days, and I should really trade it in.
