I'm not sure I like the fact that it FAILs you if you do something,
I don't think I really want to be put under that kind of pressure.

What's with all the thread deletion lately?

(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:31, archived)
A new way of getting noticed.

(I helped save b3ta! Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:31, archived)
whoa, when?

(I helped save b3ta! mongychops, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:32, archived)
Dekionplexis posted some shit ascii thing
and there was some more earlier but I think I was knocking one out at the time so didn't really notice. And that sexface chap always deletes his threads.
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:35, archived)
I think it's a good thing. The less spastic drivel on here, the better.
Maybe the b3ta code could be changed so it deletes some new threads as soon as they're received by the server, so they never get to the board.

While I agree with your statement
there's often sentient conversation happening in the wake of spastic drivel that gets deleted. Indeed, it's probably because of that conversation that a spastic decides to delete.

Never gonna happen, I spoke to cr3 about it.
There is no way, we will get something as useful as this, so people can delete embarrassing threads.
(I helped save b3ta! Wildheart Baby. Drunken Mess In A Good Way, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:45, archived)
I can see why,
though most deletions are petty rather than for a good reason
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:52, archived)
I'd love that the fun sub threads, with conversations would stay.
Sadly not to be oh well.

Bit disappointed that didn't do anything interesting at the end.
Y'know at the end of Hulk Tony Stark walks in to the bar and says he's putting a team together, is that actually going to be a movie or were they just shitting us?
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:39, archived)
dunno, i know the hulk is grey in some of the comics i've got

(I helped save b3ta! mongychops, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:41, archived)
I'd quite like to start on comics.
I got Watchmen and enjoyed it, I'd quite like to read some batman. Any advice on where I should start?
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:49, archived)
Dunno about a starting point
but The Killing Joke, Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth, and The Dark Knight Returns are all well worth a look
(I helped save b3ta! drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:53, archived)
i'm not so sure about Batman
but i can definitely reccomend Preacher series, or The Boys, and there is a wonderful comic called Sleeper that is ace as fuck, spy comic, but very clever.
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:56, archived)
Are they books or collections of individual comics?
Can you treat me like the retard I am and give me some links to stuff I should buy?
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 22:59, archived)
My three above are all graphic novels, should be able to find them on Amazon or summat

(I helped save b3ta! drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:01, archived)
my three are series of graphic novels
however drimble is correct about arkham asylum being most excellent as a stand alone graphic novel. Also, if you're a Neil Gaiman fan he has a series called Sandman that you can get in 8 parts as graphic novels that is totally worth the read,
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:03, archived)
I've read some of his novels
(good omens, neverwhere, anansie boys) so I'll give that a go, thanks.
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:06, archived)
I've ordered sandman: preludes and nocturns

(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:10, archived)
good choice
the artist changes a lot, and some of the artwork may not be to your liking (i found this) but his storytelling is so good you can look past it when it doesn't suit you.
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:12, archived)
You're in for a treat - I love the bit at the start, where Dream is kept prisoner
culminating in 'the gift of eternal waking' - you'll see what I mean when you get that far
(I helped save b3ta! drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:15, archived)
do you have a decent shop to browse in?
the one here is gone, and i miss stumbling across excellent stuff that i'd never have found without browsing
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:19, archived)
Unfortunately not - it used to be great with racks full of reduced, old and hard to find comics, but recently they've done away with a lot of the independent and low-budget stuff in favour of whatever tedious drivel Marvel decide to churn out this month.
Since then I have to be satisfied with picking up a very occasional graphic novel from Waterstones or Smiths :)
(I helped save b3ta! drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:27, archived)
ours has gone completely
and everytime i go in to Waterstones, there is more marvel and Manga, and less and less of anything i want to read. I miss browsing, sometimes i go to London just to get a hit of that dusty second hand packed in it's little pocket smell.

I need a new hobby.

Many years ago I picked up some comics called 'The Nocturnals' by Dan Brereton, the art in them is amazing

(I helped save b3ta! drimble he'd been white, he'd been black, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:07, archived)
YES!!
i've a few of those too, the art work is totally non-heinous
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:11, archived)
uh... wrong account?
edit: no, I'm a tard.

Sleeper seems to be different volumes, is this one?
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:04, archived)
that's one
it really blew me out of the water that comic, one of the best i've read in ages. I spend far too much money on them though. If you want balls out superhero stuff with a twist, try Alan Moore's Wildstorm stuff, if you enjoyed his style in Watchmen. it's a bit more classic superhero stuff, but still with his humour.
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:09, archived)
I don't really know what I want, I'm new to the genre so I'll try anything.
Right, I'v ordered sleeper season one as well. That's £20 spent so I'll stop now.
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:13, archived)
it can get very expensive very quickly,
especially if you have a good comic shop near you.
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:15, archived)
Not a clue about that.
Being an internet recluse Asda is about as adventurous as I get, and that only when I want to go look at strange people.

That said,
I went in to a guitar shop recently and said "Hello! I'd like to take up the guitar. I think I want an electric one." and I spent about an hour chatting to the chap before spending a few hundred quid.
(I helped save b3ta! CowJam, Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:19, archived)
did you get a my first guitar book?
can you play smoke on the water yet?
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:21, archived)
I've a few books,
a few friends play guitar and passed their old stuff on to me. I started with guitar for dummies on the kindle and it's shit. Reference boos should be in print, kindle is for stories.

I can play the first couple of bars on single strings, I can't do the proper two string stuff. I learnt the first few bars of duelling banjos before I went in so I could play something the chaps in the shop were unlikely to hear from a n00b.

let me know when you're ready to start a B3ta rock band
we'll be world famous in no time. (i play Bass, or double Bass if necessary)
(I helped save b3ta! Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Fri 17 Jun 2011, 23:41, archived)
Cool.
I seriously need to improve my rhythm. It used to be excellent but since my dad died I seem to have inherited his.

read a book, there will be a place near you that relies on you borrowing the books for free, they are bonkers
