He's on easy, he's only 10. Probably for the best. Watching him is a bit painful, but he's improving. He's almost at the end of the game, fuck knows how he got here, or how long it took. He got Uncharted 3 for Christmas so he wants to finish 2 today.

Probably better at games than FW is ¬¬

 

[Yurt]

I thought Camoranesi was shit whenever I saw him play for Italy.

They were all shit in friendly games ok

 

[Linius]

CS: GO on Steam sale, hmmm

COME AT ME YURT

Being shit while playing for Italy is the equivalent of playing brilliantly for England.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Raheezus takes them seriously

 

[L1NETT]

Tony Popovic to Palace perhaps?

Probably so wrong in this...but would be first Aussie manager in the prem?

 

[Arnie]

So tempted to throw £10 at Sherwood.

 

[Freewheelin']

Make him play it on Crushing


My nephew asked what I was playing when I was on Dota yesterday. Where to fucking start.

Crushing is easier on UC2 than UC1. Haven't even bothered with UC3 on that mode.

Btw, still up for TLOU later m8?

 

[Mastadon]

So tempted to throw £10 at Sherwood.

Blimey is he that hard up?

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

OMG, that was hilarious.

Yeah. Not sure jts is about though.

Anyone else wanna play?



Fuck off Mastadon

 

[Mastadon]

Fuck off Mastadon

Abandoned like a cheap Russian whore. :<

I'll never win with Alchemist now, and it's all your fault.

Merry xmas.

I am bestowing my highest honour on House of Cards by re-watching it. I haven't even done that with The Wire.

Really don't know why everyone likes it so much. First season's good enough, I thought the second was terrible.

Innit.

It's enjoyable enough though.

The train moment still cracks me up whenever I think about it :lol like, REALLY?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Newcastle should have had a penalty at 0-0

edit: Looks like he's clipped himself actually

 

[Clegg]

How did Ulloa miss a free header from 6 yards out?

Just highlights I'm watching but Spurs look pony.

They're winning though, which is fucking annoying


Man Utd goals were nice.

Cunts.

 

[Arnie]

Really don't know why everyone likes it so much. First season's good enough, I thought the second was terrible.

Get out of my thoughts.

Second season is so shit. First was solid (like 7/10).

Just don't get it. Silly show.

 

[Clegg]

That Eriksen goal is ridiculous. Their wall split as the shot was taken and the ball went through the gap. Then there's the awful keeping to let it go in.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Really don't know why everyone likes it so much. First season's good enough, I thought the second was terrible.

I just love political dramas. The characters are excellent and it is my favourite performance by Kevin Spacey, who I enjoy a lot. I agree that the second season is weaker, but the way Underwood pulls all the strings in the first season is amazing and well written. The only thing I don't like is some of the sexual storylines.

I don't re-watch many shows, but this has me hooked again after the first episode and I am on episode 4 already. I can see myself just watching this all night till I fall asleep. I can't wait for season 3.

Plus, Underwood loves consoles.

 

[Wilbur]

Lovely goals from us yesterday. All three were delicious.

Get out of my thoughts.

Exactly how I feel. How much mileage can you get out of pseudo-intelligent characters speaking in nothing but metaphors in blue-grey corridors? Tripe.

It has a lot of political talk, which people either get or don't.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

That Traore challenge

What a shit player. Sell Enrique to QPR


That Traore marking

What a shit player. Sell Johnson to QPR

 

[Wilbur]

It has a lot of political talk, which you either get or you don't.

I get it. It's just dry and boring. There's no stakes watching an invincible character who is far more intelligent than everyone else in the show. Frank does everyone over, gets whatever he wants with no comeuppance. Maybe the third series will change that, but the second is a write off.

Misses Stoll hugely, too. No heart in the show, no emotion. Glossy, but soulless.

 

[Yurt]

Horrible Bosses is on TV and I'm fucking DYING

American comedy done right! Bateman playing Bateman and Charlie playing Charlie :lol

Just how fucking cool was Arnie IRL? Best mate material aint he I CAN TELL

And you only need to look at WJD's willy warmer once to know that you want him in your life

You guys should do it again.

Horrible Bosses is great. Second one's merely decent but the first is really under appreciated I think. Top cast.

They're both gr8 lads. Would happily do it again. Just trying to get everyone's schedules calibrated innit, awful time of year to plan anything.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Puts Hoilett on

Whinges about resulting end product

Harry Redknapp


What the fuck did he expect?

 

[Yurt]

Yeah always felt that HoC was missing an antagonist (I typed it without spellcheck! WHAT A TIME). Like a proper one that can go head to head with Kevin

 

[Clegg]

That Mingolet corner thing is brilliant.

He's so hilariously inept.

100% correct.

I agree. Better lead performance too.

 

[arkon]

Wonder if we're lowly enough for Chelsea to sell us Cech for a reasonable price. I would be ecstatic if we got him.

Think he'd be up for it, we're the best English club who need a keeper, and he'd play every game

Get Ochoa

Oh right there's a British one

Explains the train moment



No it doesn't I'm just trying to push your easily pushed buttons L1nnEH

 

[Arnie]

That Mingolet corner thing is brilliant.

He's so hilariously inept.

I was so excited when Brad Jones went off.

Then Mignolet came on.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I watch House of Cards for Spacey's over the top acting.

It's like watching a Bruce Lee movie.

Only the battle scenes are made of words. The problem with the second season is the shit sidestories tho.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

That Sunderland goal is the worst thing I've ever seen, and I'm a mortician


That Bruce handball. How the fuck have they not seen that?


And then Quinn straight afterwards. Fucking hell.

 

[Clegg]

The penalty Bojan won was very soft. Both players had a hold of each other.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

I get it. It's just dry and boring. There's no stakes watching an invincible character who is far more intelligent than everyone else in the show. Frank does everyone over, gets whatever he wants with no comeuppance. Maybe the third series will change that, but the second is a write off.

sorry, i edited my post. I realised it sounded too aggressive towards you when I meant in general.

Frank has been on the ropes a few times and has put his faith in other people to basically keep his job in both seasons. He is very intelligent and calculated. His job is as chief whip so he has built up his career by knowing how to get people to toe the company line. Now that he wants to get revenge he is showing what he is capable of by putting his talents towards more sinister things.

I think the show is meant to have no emotion. These characters are self-interested and will do anything they can to get where they want. Stoll had the most emotion, but as a result he was the most flawed and unsuited for the world of Washington. Frank uses him brilliantly and Russo's emotion was his downfall. He was a good man who believed he could actually do good things for the greater good, but it allowed Frank to play him easily.

 

[Yurt]

Kevin Spacey is so good at being a meanie. He can't be a nice guy IRL, it's fucking impossible. Always looks like he's a few words away from spitting in your face

Like a Moriarty.

Speaking of which, can we talk about Earthworm Benedict Cumberbatch? WHY is he considered hot again? He looks fucking weird, and unsettling with his whole non chin LVGenius situation


Good actor though

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

Yeah always felt that HoC was missing an antagonist (I typed it without spellcheck! WHAT A TIME). Like a proper one that can go head to head with Kevin

He did, Raymond Tusk was his nemesis.

I remember reading an interview with his brother in the News of the World or something. IIRC, his dad use to beat them and was a very strange main.

Here is a link

Maybe his childhood explains why he is so good at playing villains.

 

[Yurt]

He did, Raymond Tusk was his nemesis.

Oh right!

But in the end, barely, right? I don't remember anything about S2 except the ending sorry :lol
