Oh and btw, there is a BB spoiler in the Metro this morning on page 11, but they were kind enough to warn you on page 9. I think they learnt after incurring the wrath of everyone last time.

Yeah! Tits and swords!!
Thinking about starting Justified as my next show, I keep hearing it's awesome. Still yet to try Sons of Anarchy as well, but something about it keeps putting me off...
BB was ace last night, I got a bit verklempt at points. Such closure.

I think that big plot spoilers are a no no (like who kills who when etc) but some people are crazy over this shit, pretty much everything is considered a spoiler now and it's daft. Some things aren't spoilers, they act as the opposite, things to get you excited.
My problem is, the game is now all jumbled up in my head so I have no recollection of when stuff happened. So if I want to talk about a specific section or event I'm buggered, can't remember if it was early, mid or end game. I can't wait for everyone to finish it so we can talk about favourite missions.

Both Justified and Sons Of Anarchy get a big thumbs up from me, I'm patiently waiting for the season five Blu-Ray release of SOA.

I tried series 1 of Justified because I love Olyphant, but I just couldn't get into it.
SoA is awesome though.

Fuck Arrow so hard in its stupid chiseled abs and designer stubble. Fuck it.
Ollie Queen is 50 years old, has a blonde goatee, is married to Black Canary, has a half native american son called Connor and a ward called Speedy.
Fuck this stupid kid they've replaced him with fucking stupid DC with your bullshit.

Morning all. Satisfied with the BB finale.
Really want that Breaking Bad barrel bluray set now even though I already have S1-3 on Region 1 DVD. Now I need to find a new big show to watch. Thinkiing Hannibal and/or Boardwalk empire.
Also, Lirlond, you ever worked at the big Tesco at Maryhill? Tried to get GTA 5 late last night but they didn't have any
Glad that babyface POS got choked out by Jesse. Kinda wanted a final confrontation between Walt and Lydia but then I realised they never had any big hate in the first place so it wouldn't make sense. Solid, safe ending to the series I thought.

That's what annoys me, DC reset their universe a couple of years ago and replaced the real, interesting Ollie with this dumb kid. Older people are not relatable apparently. But super rich 20 year olds who look like Channing Tatum are apparently the everyman. It's heartbreaking - Ollie as this slightly over-the-hill Errol Flynn fan with a womanising streak is just perfect. A strong father figure, but flawed. Left wing stance, tempered by age and experience.
vs abs.
Fuck off DC you cunts.

things to do: post some poo through afoni's letterbox.
Also Shorty - Boardwalk is a bit slow paced but it's brilliant.
Cheers for the warning. As long as it is interesting and all it's doing is setting the foundations for a badass story (rather than just have pointless chatter going round in circles) then I'm cool with it.
I was told Veep and House of Cards were slow but really good too. I've been wanting some good political show kinda like 24 but without the "OTT macho man saves USA" ness.

Morning duders,
Torturesticks coming back to work! Nah, it's not too bad, that new role shift I was going to be doing has been cancelled, sweet! Still got a fuckload to catch up on though, but it's all good.
Walking Dead gets progressively worse, despite the odd impressive episode. It just gets so so fucking dull!
And the characters are almost exclusively awful. Andrea is just excruciating.
Don't waste your time Musha, straight to GoT! It's so good.
Also, where is stern avatar?
Yeah, I really enjoyed it, despite having zero frame of reference with Marvel. It was amusing, exciting and intriguing. I'll definitely watch the next one.

I was about to say get that sand out of your vagina, but then I remembered I have exactly the same stance on what they've done to Lobo.
But new Oliver is sooooooo hooooooooooooot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah it's all set up and world building and the cast is massive, especially at the start of the show. It does have an even more impressive boobs/violence ratio than GoT as well. and it looks better. I think Boardwalk has my favourite WTF moments of any show, it just gets better and better.
House of Cards was ok - the start of the season was really quite dull but the second half was great. Really interested to see where it goes next year.
lmao new Lobo is so terrible! This is what I mean, DC do not seem to understand what makes their properties good any more. If they just give everyone a CW makeover they'll be popular, but they're stripping their characters of character at the same time.
It makes me sad because I've been their customer for nigh on 20 years now. And they've totally lost me over the last 2.
and it's set during the prohibition in the 20s right? I'm a big sucker for that LA Confidential/LA Noire/Gangster Squad kinda thing.
Also guys, for a person that absolutely detests the fantasy genre, will I appreciate Game of Thrones? For the record, I do not appreciate LotR or any of the Elder Scrolls games. Fable 1 was ok.

We have much to discuss. He is an engineering nerd, I find that shit fascinating. He often goes straight over my head when he gets into the nitty gritty though!I'm surprised you managed to takle any of it in, the amount you and Andy were talking
There was a line in BB last night that I could just imagine getting a smirk from Andy,
"there ain't no replacement for displacement" when they are discussing the engine in Walt's motor.
Maybe, probably. For the most part GoT is pretty grounded fantasy.

Yep, 20s setting, it's so cool. The clothes and hairstyles are amazing. It is def the best looking show on telly. Beautiful ladies in it too, hmmmm.
As for hating fantasy, what do you tend to hate about it? GoT is great with the politics side - it's often very powerful and dangerous people saying terrible things to each other. The overt fantastical elements are kept minimal and are grounded quite well. It's far less speechy and silly than LotR and such. No elves and shit.
Yeah I watched it last month, was fantastic! Great looking show, especially for a UK production. Nice tone and I appreciate the artyness of it. I liked how spacious and composed it was.
Glad I wasn't alone in watching it. I loved the characters, some of the main story characters were a bitchy and whiny. Neil Maskell was fantastic in it though. "Where is Jessica Hyde?" That'll stick with me for a while.

Yes, I loved it. Can't wait for it to come back and see where they take it.
I saw that written in a portaloo at Download. Made me chuckle.

I think so. I woke up this morning feeling like absolute shit.
I know that feeling. My stomach is in knots, I keep coughing when I speak and sneezing is frequent.
Duvet day.
I just can't get into the genre at all. Slow-paced fluff coupled in forests with some dwarves/elves speaking their own language BS. Only one I can remotely tolerate is Zelda and even I gave up halfway through Twilight Princess. I think my problem is that I'm associating it with factual history (Even though it's "fantasy" I know I know) and as a result I'd be like "Can't take it seriously!". Complete opposite with cyberpunk for me because I feel that the genre predicts what's going to happen in the future. "Oh shit! hover cars and VR. That might be possible in 2050!" Although we all know that back in the 50s (Jetsons?) they said we'd be in hover cars by 2000 >.<
ha, perhaps I'm too anal about this. Not going to be surprised if this post crops up on that "Dumbest neogaf posts" twitter page.
EDIT: Jordan, you're an Avril fan. Curious to know your thoughts on that How You Remind Me cover.
Just gonna give it a listen to now.
Edit: It is very very different to the original. I was sort of expecting her to go for a rock vibe with it and keep the loud scream of "And this is how you remind me" - I think it will grow on me quite a lot but on first listen I prefer the original.
Came across it during the holidays (I don't take my mp3 player abroad) and thought it wasn't too shabby. and yeah, that's the thing about it being different. It was only halfway through that I realised it was "How You Remind Me". Damn you Kroeger and your dirty tricks!

Well, GoT doesn't have the orcs and elves stuff, but it does have some standing around in forests talking, and the occasional mythical beast. It also has some of the best 'I fucking hate that guy' characters in all of TV.
I'm with you to an extent though, the thing about fantasy that always gets me is the ridiculous timescales. "We've been living in this castle for three thousand years!" No you haven't, don't be stupid. A society remaining unchanged for thousands of years is a ridiculous idea.
But I got over it, and you can too.
