Robocop was alright. It helps that the lead actor has the acting chops of a robot anyway.

Been getting back into BF4. It's pretty stable now on PC.

I assume they're closed until the start of this year's series.

Their Facebook page was unstaffed for about a month over xmas and new years.

Not SHOCKING NEWS but still sucks for the thousands that will be out of jobs. All those parts factories and suppliers will be totally fucked now, if they hadn't already collapsed.

Thankfully my uncle moved onto other factory work before all this hit, he was making carseats for Ford in Adelaide at one point.

No more locally made toyotas?

Wont someone think of the old people?

Sucks for the people who made the cars, the tyres, the glass, the parts, the sheet metal. It really sucks when your industry disappears totally.

But at least we got the convicted maybe smuggler back.

I'm still mad at my 13 year old self for never learning Assembler and just staying with BASIC and Shoot 'Em Up Construction Kit. Assembler was easy, you muppet!

Edit: Although to be fair it's not like I could just Google a tutorial or get a book about 6502 Assembly from the library back in 1987.

That's a fairly accurate recreation of my expressions over the last half of the episode.
4 episodes in and it's already a classic. Can't fucking wait for the final month!

God damn. That long take shot was unbelievable... I almost mean it literally.

I'm really really interested to know what their budgets for the season are. They already talked about the restrictions imposed by them due to being a TV series but they are making 8 hours of viewing content here, still a huge investment.
And the show always looks amazing! With incredibly good titles and music.

The quality of the overall product is better than any movie I've seen this year, without a doubt.

MTV article on the long shot, not much detail sadly. SPOILERS of course.

EVERYBODY GO WATCH THE SHOW. Cods on board, make sure to let us know what you thought of Ep1.

Yes the last 10 minutes of True Detective ep 4 were absolutely amazing.

I always loved the long shots that Alfonso Cuaron did in Children of Men and Gravity, and to see it done so well in a TV show blew my mind.

So I am in Melbourne for a few nights, anybody down for some beers with a fellow GAFer and his first time in Australia? I will also be visiting Byron Bay and Sydney if anyone is around there and have some free time.

First round on me!

87 minutes to drive to work, fuck you Brisbane, fuck you.

All I want is to work from home making fun stuff and play Super Nintendo during my lunch break and drink chocolate milk IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK.

This Gittany bloke that is getting sentenced today should rot in jail, the bastard...

The Sunday Night story they had on it was pretty sad.

Anyone here been to the South Island of NZ before? Probably going to spend a week there at the end of October. Looking at 3-4 days at a place around Queenstown and then 3-4 days in another area. What's the best other area?

I really liked Christchuch, but that was pre-earthquake, so not sure how much that has effected things. Presume quite a bit. Place kind of reminded me of Hobart in a way (similar size perhaps?).

We drove down the east coast from Picton -> Christchurch, then across to Queenstown from there.

Stopped at Kaikoura, which is a pretty small coastal town that is known for whale watching.

Drove back to Christchurch via Wanaka which is really nice on the lake, there is a weird place called 'puzzling world' or some such there which was kinda kitsch but amusing, some nice brain teasers and plenty of visual things to look at.

If you get a chance, Wellington is worth a visit as well. The museum there in particular is great.

I too live in Brisbane and commute and hour and a half each day, to and from work. I would kill to work from home at least one day a month. Sadly that will not happen in my current role, even though it would be really easy to do from home.

Sell me on this True Detective show. I have way too many shows to watch at the moment and too many wonderful games to play.

Anyone else watching Almost Human? Great show, reminds me of Fringe.

Work is trying to give us more stuff during an already full day, instead of giving pay rises, hire more people etc. they are offering up $30 gift cards, for the whole month of extra work, if the target is met. Words cannot describe.

Serves you right for driving in. You really should know better.

I finished a LoZ: ALBW (which was excellent, thanks for asking) yesterday and was casting around for something to play.

I had a look at what I had DLed on PS+ and decided very quickly that Hotline Miami and Brothers weren't happening. So picked up Papers Please on Steam. That's a lot more interesting, if a little frustrating while you learn the ropes. I can't see me putting more than another hour or two into it but definitely amusing.

I also got Jazzpunk but haven't played that yet. It looks all sorts of fucked up- in a good way.

Picture a slow burn Michael Mann film. Not a bad one like Public Enemies, but a good one like Heat. Some of the best cinematography to ever grace a TV series, and a revelatory performance by Matthew McConaghuey. Fantastic use of music, a script that doesn't insult your intelligence, and great production values all round.

Watch a couple of eps and see if it grabs you. It's clearly not for everyone, but for my money I doubt we will see anything better on TV this year.
