No, I'm saying that its annoying that people threw it around, as well as blatant references to the story turn, soon after the episode aired. There is no set period after which it becomes acceptable to neglect spoiler warnings, but as someone who always intended to catch up with Lost, it was impossible to avod that particular spoiler even 6 months after the episode, as it became a part of pop culture which was endlessly referenced in even th most irrelevant threads. I doubt there's a person in this thread, Lost-watcher or not, who wouldn't know the twist as soon as they started watching that season because its been so freely spoiled for so long

Fair play, I think I just misunderstood you. I agree on all accounts.

 

[Broder Salsa]

What is good about it? The story?

The shooting and driving are not fun and the VO is rather poor.

Shooting was fine, story was alright... I don't know why, I just enjoyed it at least until it started feeling like a wave based shooter.

Mafia 1 however of course is still the superior game.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Nope, all previews today are from the 360 version

I think he means the trailers. Those could be faked though.

 

[Showaddy]

holy shit (if gueniely true)

or is it just gobbrish

I want to believe but after that shitfest with the PS3 version of Skyrim...

 

[Steverulez]

Odd. Perhaps they're leading on 360 to make porting to PC/PS4/Xbox One easier. Otherwise I would have said leading on PS3 was a no-brainer after looking at the trouble they had GTAIV, Red Dead and then other devs have had with games like Skyrim.

To be fair, Bethesda aren't a barometer of technical ability, the fucking thieves

 

[bobito]

I loved it but I just stopped watching it around season 3. Same with Six Feet Under season 2 which I loved as well. Like you say. Life.

now I have free time again because i have no life now

I genuinely hate the period between uni and starting a job.

On American TV, do you really have the broadcasters logo on the screen at all times?

Breaking Bad gifs are the worst.

"there are only billions of reaction gifs, but surely no one will mind a gif from the breaking bad episode that aired 30minutes ago".

They should allow gifs to be in spoiler tags.

Maybe I got to the point that you're talking about, I just don't feel like playing it anymore.

I've always wanted to play Mafia 1, is it on Steam?

 

[Linius]

I believe so. On Dutch television it's no different.

 

[sneaky77]

Watching Funny Games (97). Terrified just by the heavy metal at the opening credits

I saw the remake which is basically the same exact movie, that is one fucked up flick

No idea. Probably aged terrible like all old open world games.

Only seen the English language one, but nah. Pointless cynical movie.

I think Channel 5 do it over here, maybe the others do as well. Havene't watched anything other than sport on TV for months, come to think of it. Its either sport, Netflix, an On Demand service or games

If you like fucked up movies, is not terrible, I would recommend Oldboy though

 

[Linius]

So there's two things to finish this week. The Last of Us and Hannibal's first season. Next week I will be back in uni mode so I better get on with it.

 

[Zabojnik]

Though I don't think Mexico is too cliche. Juarez is really a poor city with lot's of criminal activity and they film on site. I think that's one of the best parts of the series.

I guess my gripe it's really with some of the Mexican characters, not so much with Juarez as the setting. They're just so one-dimensional. So far, at least. Like the mexican police chief (look at me, I'm slimy and corrupted!) and the cartel leader. On the other hand though ... Marco Ruiz is easily my favourite character and I think there's a lot of potential in the unlikely relationship between the american and mexican reporter.

The writing could be (much) better too, but all in all, it's enough to keep me interested.

I swear I'm going to watch Mad Men next week. Too many trust worthy posters/people I know are recommending it.

Follow bobito's and FF's advice and you'll be fine. Forget everything you've read about the show here, take it slow and easy and saviour the period, the characters, the writing. I loved it from the first episode, but I guess the show does take a while to really get going. Stick with it and pay attention, you'll be rewared tenfold in the later seasons. If you're not feeling it by season 2, you never will.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

I love Funny Games, it's a good fun romp of a movie.

 

[valeo]

mad men is fucking pretentious turd

Well written and well thought out does not = pretentious. Such a stupid way of viewing things. Guess I thought the same after watching the first 3 or 4 episodes - but after that, it turns into an amazing show that has gotten better every season.

 

[Yurt]

Alright Zabster.

If you like fucked up movies, is not terrible, I would recommend Oldboy though

Oldboy is one of my favs!

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Someone's inability to enjoy a game because it was made by less than 350 people is something I talked about with my brother a lot.

He refuses to play Limbo, Flower, Journey, Braid etc just because they're labeled indie games.

I lied to him and told him Gaucamelee is a disc game sold on the store and he started it.

No idea. Probably aged terrible like all old open world games.

It's not anyway.

Seems like I've picked the wrong movie!

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Some Timesplitters offical by-product appears to have been given the go-ahead. Even if its good, Crytek will barge back in and start developing Timsplitters 4, which they'll inevitably fuck up.

My co-worker's son does the 'gore' for Hannibal. She's always on at me to watch it but I'm worried it will be awful and I won't be able to hide my scorn.

 

[Wilbur]

Flower was nice, it would make a nice desktop background. It wasn't a very good videogame though.

I liked Tetris

and pokemon snap

does that count

I loved Limbo. Even paid full price on release day and finished it like two hours later :lol

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Journey was shit

if i want to walk around a seemingly endless and lonely desert for an hour i'll go to the etihad

I fucking love you

Is Bowser a good villain, or merely an iconic one?

 

[Wilbur]

is jazz music purely a means to exploring culture from a begotten era or is it a viable commercial alleyway in which musicians should experiment

 

[Linius]

Every since I got back to my production job I remember how much I hated radio. I've been haunted by multiple songs lately

 

[K1LLER7]

Is Bowser a good villain, or merely an iconic one?

Iconic.

Good villian for me is someone like the Joker

 

[Sleeplessnights]

What is a video game though? /Hipster

Journey has a few gueniely good moments though, it's not even that long but I don't think those moments would work alone. You gotta be playing with someone online.

I loved Limbo. Even paid full price on release day and finished it like two hours later :lol

Limbo is fantastic, while on the topic of downloadable games Shadow Complex has to be one of the best I've ever played.

Just 24 min until Killzone Mercenary is unlocked.

Jazz > House/pop/garage/anythingelse

Best villain

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

The Godfather would have been a better film if it was directed by Paul Verhoeven.

 

[K1LLER7]

Best villain

Lol cunt :'(

 

[bud]

i'm downloading mafia 2 from psn+ right now. it'll take me less than ninety minutes to download a 7gig file from psn. this is a personal record.

If you like fucked up movies, is not terrible, I would recommend Oldboy though

Alright Zabster.


Oldboy is one of my favs!

sympathy for mr. vengeance is even better.

 

[Fergie]

Let me go off-topic.


Seems RM are trying to keep the Bale's real figure + wages hidden even going as far to have plans to deny whatever Spurs say. :lol


Oh and,

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Spoiler

Jazz is shit, its influence is okay though

 

[Linius]

Oh man, isn't Verhoeven just one of the best worst directors :lol

But really, Dick Maas takes the crown. You ever seen Amsterdamned?

 

[sneaky77]

sympathy for mr. vengeance is even better.

It's on my list on netflix lol.

I watched I saw the devil recently, that one was pretty good too
