Entourage movie looks turrible, I'll catch it on Netflix eventually. I better go see Mad Max tomorrow before it disappears from cinemas.
Yeah me and my wife loved it. Glad there is a second season coming next year.
I'm surprised how much I loved the tv show. Love the movie, just didn't think a Fargo tv show could live up to it. Love the concept for the second season too.
I can heartily endorse Getflix. If only Stan had apps for Xbone or PS4 I could probably get more onboard with it. Streaming to Chromecast is really unreliable.
It's produced by HBO, it will never get to Netflix.

Yeah I used to enjoy the Entourage show but the movie doesn't interest me. It's a few years too late for mine.
I watched Ex Machina last night and loved it. I wanted to catch It Follows but I think that's stopped playing now.

You know it!
Splatoon is pretty good, but I'm not really losing my pants over it like a lot of people.
- It desperately needs more maps. I know they are coming (one of them today!) but launching with so few maps is pretty perplexing
- I really really wish I could play online with my girlfriend. The 1v1 mode is cool, but I'd get a lot more mileage if we could both play online. I don't even care if the framerate tanks.
- Presentation is great
- Net code seems great so far
- Controls are good (gyro off, obviously)
- Not really a fan of only holding one primary weapon. Kind of limits things.
Based on early impressions, I think 8/10 is apt.
So...looking for a little advice.
My old Dell Ultrasharp monitor is dying and well I need a replacement but cannot afford the 500$ another 24" Dell Ultrasharp would cost me.
So I'm wondering what other brands aren't terrible?
For instance I found a LG one (here) which is more like my budget but I've never used LG monitors before.

With how bad the last few seasons of Entourage were it's no surprise if the movie continues the run of terribleness.

Presumably not enough pilots? You would prefer the plane be capably flown, right?

Did they have lemon-soaked paper napkins?
I've done my fair share of flying, mostly international and have never had a delay due to insufficient staff, is this just a jetstar thing?
I can't comment on the napkins just yet. On my flight to Bali my partner's tv screen stopped working after 30min, staff couldn't fix the issue, which is perfectly understandable. The problem is that with jetstar you pay 10$ one way for that service and even after contacting them they refuse to acknowledge the issue or reimburse us for a broken service.

I'd sign up to HBO Go if they wanted my money and it streamed as well as Netflix.
Mad Max 4 was a god damn masterpiece. Direction, art design, fx, costumes were all A+ award material. Perfection. Bravo.

I have HBO Now, but the quality is GARBAGE. The picture quality is serviceable at times (I'm on NBN), but the streams stutter badly.
I cancelled mine after the first month because of this.

HBO Go is for peeps in the US who have a cable sub to HBO like whatever the hell the Foxtel on demand thing is (except it's HBO Go is HD, not SD). Even if you had a the shitty SD cable box thrown in with your internet, you could get HBO Go and watch stuff in 720p or above on your computer or a streamer like apple tv or PS3- apart from certain ISPs like Comcast only allowing certain devices even if an app is available (Apple TV yes, PS3 no). When you use HBO Go for the first time, you have to enter a code based on who your cable supplier is, etc. You also have to do this to watch any of the Network's catch-up services on a streamiing device.
HBO Now is basically Go but for cord-cutters (people who don't have cable TV). So netflix for HBO content- which is almost every show they've made plus a rotating selection of movies (which, even in the US, tends to be far better than Netflix's movie catalogue).
Funny thing is, HBO Now seems cheaper than adding HBO to a cable sub. I had a deal that gave me three months free and then $10 a month for the first year which would have gone up to $20 a month if I had stayed in the US. If I had stuck around in the US, I would have gone for HBO Now.

Oh thanks! I've been keeping it suspended so my time just says 10 days 3 hours :| it really does keep feeling like it's gonna end. Im level 32 so probably around the same place as you.I think if you go into your character screen you can check from in there (look at the options down the bottom). But I think it might include suspended time on PS4. Graphics on PC are great, a step above the consoles (which look great, imo, to begin with), the main boon for me is a locked 60fps
keeeeeeen.
did you get a Japanese wiiu?
Aaaargh. My internet download speed is now a whopping 0.36 Mbps, and my ADSL2+ modem is completely unable to connect (I'm resorting to much older technology to get a connection). Having checked every other possibility (and phoned my ISP), it's quite likely that part of the copper wiring has corroded somewhere outside the house, so I've made a call to get some people around to check.
*sigh* This is ridiculous.

That was the first show I re-watched on Netflix. Great show.
I can't count how many times I've been at the airport and seen Jetstar flight cancelled. I try to fly Virgin most of the time, so far they have been really reliable.
I might still have a Stan sub if they had a PS4 or Xbone app.
Rewatching this too, as my wife hasn't seen it. Great stuff!
I am weirdly excited about that Fallout countdown timer!!

What's the release date for the Amiibo? No interest in the game.
Link? I can only find the game.
Instore only.
I think the prices are pretty much the same everywhere for the new 3DS XL...no major deals that I know of. The best deal seems to be at JB Hifi for $244 (you get a free game with it, Tetris Ultimate). The basic edition is marginally cheaper at Target than at EB Games and JB Hifi ($209 compared to $219).
If you want the Majora's Mask golden edition, JB Hifi still has some.

Yup. No interest in Doom or Elder Scrolls Online, but Day 1 for this.

Only months?

I'm an optimist.
It looks like a slightly further modded gamebryo engine game. Fun times.

I've only dealt with them retail and they've never let me down. Very knowledgeable staffand reasonable prices. Just be wary, the online price is usually slightly (+-$10 usually) different from online.
