I'm in the middle of the third right now. Liking it.

I have watched up to episode 6, it's not quite as fun as watching the original three seasons were. Either the jokes are not as clever or my rose tinted glasses are interfering. Also seems like every episode they are trying to cram as many cameos in as possible.

7 is the best one out of the ones I've watched.

It's Gob's though, so obviously it would be.

I watched the entire series again recently and can say it was more fun, but I've only watched 4 so far of the new season. Thing is each episode only focuses on a couple of the characters, rather than involving the entire family. That's what is missing for me.

 

[Pau]

So jealous. I have to wait for my sister in order to watch the episodes. :/

 

[shanshan310]

What, no GoT this week? Thanks Obama.

 

[Professor Beef]

I wonder if Obama says "thanks Obama" when things don't go his way...

 

[leadbelly]

I kind of wish I still had the enthusiasm to watch drama programmes. A lot of people seem to like Game of Thrones, but for some reason, I just don't have the enthusiasm to watch it. I don't watch any drama.

What I do love watching though is documentaries and more factual programmes. That is something the BBC excels in.

 

[AcridMeat]

I agree leadbelly. They're such a time commitment and eventually you get sucked into the hole of, "Well I didn't enjoy the last couple, but I have to see what happens anyway."

I've watched Mad Men and Breaking Bad and while I enjoy what I've seen, I never was too compelled to follow the seasons. Same with GoT, I bet it's great and I'd enjoy it, but I just don't really have interest to watch it. :S

Also I did that with Dollhouse and it was not worth it. NOT WORTH IIIT

Yeah. In terms of time commitment, if you don't watch it from the start obviously it makes the series harder to follow later on. That means you have to go through all of the previous episodes to catch up. The time you have to put in catching up can discourage you from bothering at all.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

At least watch The Wire. It's so worth it. Even if it's just an hour every week.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Nevermind.

 

[leadbelly]

Whether it is Game of Thrones, The Wire, or whatever, someone needs to push me to do it...

Speaking of under appreciated shows, everyone should watch Terriers. It's only one season and one of my favorite shows ever.

Yes!

Also, Dead Like Me (2 seasons)

 

[Hawkian]

Yeah the july one sucked. I might do it again next january, but definitely not this july.

You're such a renegade Tence.

so what kind of earth is it where the Anti-Monitor gets banned?

 

[Chuckie]

You know me Hawkie...I'm a motherfucking rebel bastard.

AM banned? Da fuq Why? I <3 AM

I was going to ask Beef since he seemed to have a free AM motif going in the avatar. I happened to notice she was banned a few days ago when I popped in one of the DC threads. Don't feel bad Hawk I did enjoy Real GAF July, I just think we might get a better turn out if we hold out until January this year. Either way I will always join in whatever month you guys put it up.

Moi aussi. Mais alors.

Thank Crude, I feel like I am on here fairly regularly but still seem to miss a lot.

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Moi aussi. Mais alors.

Crap...it's a perma. Bye Anti

 

[ClassyPenguin]

If we do one in July that will mean I will have to buy a porkpie hat and cosplay as Robert Oppenheimer.

I'm definitely glad you enjoyed it (I did too!) but just to be clear, it totally wasn't my idea. I was just the thread forger and messenger on that one. I have no plans to enact another RPJ2 this year, not that I would object or abstain from participating if there were one.

Well that'd make it worthwhile.

Um.

Another brilliant move by EviLore.

Was that seriously it...? What on earth?

 

[Davedough]

Hold the fuck up?

Anti got permabanned?!?

I leave this thread to you fools and this is how you repay me?!

I am sorry me lord.

RIP enormous asshole

Yeah not particularly down with that.

anybody talked to her? is there is still IRC?

You could have stopped this Dave. BUT YOU WERE NOT THERE.

As far as I know IRC is still going.

You could have stopped this Dave. BUT YOU WERE NOT THERE.

Story of my...I mean his life.

Oh, Gob is currently saving Arrested Development Season 4 for me, his episodes are still great.

"Hello darkness my old friend..."

 

[CrudeDiatribe]

Yeah not particularly down with that.

I know that people have talked to her, but no more than that. IRC is still going, though she doesn't join the #realgaf channel anymore if she logs in at all.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Yeah not particularly down with that.

I thiiink, she occasionally frequents the (quote to see) IRC channel on the same server.

Looks like Mirror's Edge 2 could be coming to next-gen. It has popped up on Amazon in two different countries. The bad news though is that both times it was only for Xbox One. It could be an exclusive. Hopefully it is not or it's just a timed exclusive.

One of my favourite games this gen. I've been dying for a sequel.

Easily in my top ten for this gen. If a sequel has any motion controls what so ever I will not give it the time of day.

 

[Davedough]

I'd just like to say that while I had no faith in the game, Devil May Cry (DmC) could quite easily be my GOTY if it were last year and I were playing it then.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

This is pretty fantastic.

Yeah. It is one of the few games this gen that actually did something new. It has the appearance of an FPS, but it's actually more like a puzzle game. Every room you have to traverse is like a puzzle. I suppose it has a lot in common with games like Portal.

I also loved the aesthetic in the game. They somehow managed to make very ordinary objects look beautiful. Valve added the screenshot feature around the time I first played the game. It is one of the first games I ever used it on. I made lots of pictures of pipes and planks of wood (lol).

A couple of screenshots I did.

I'd just like to say that while I had no faith in the game, Devil May Cry (DmC) could quite easily be my GOTY if it were last year and I were playing it then.

Yeah. I've heard it's not a bad game, but that's the first time I've heard someone say it's their GOTY. I will probably try it out if it goes on sale.

Speaking of sales, it seems ages since the last Steam sale. Hopefully we get a summer sale this year.

I'm currently playing Dark Souls on PC. I played the game on PS3 at my friend's house once and generally died a lot. I'd never played it before so I figured I would do much better once I learned how to play it. Started playing through it on PC and realised just how hard the game is (lol).

No. I picked the Wanderer. OMG why? :O

Just looking at the Wanderer's stats, I've noticed his defensive skill aren't all that great. That's probably making it a little more difficult for myself. Maybe I should start again. :/

Edit: Actually, it does say he is a good all-round class, so...

lol, well you can alter your character as you see fit so it's not a huge issue. Pyromancer just makes it easier starting out, after you are a couple hours in it won't matter. More important is what special item you pick at the beginning because some of them are disposable as they can be acquired in the game proper.

 

[Reticent Rhino]

Be sure to choose the pendant as your starting item. I'm sure you'll find many uses for it over the course of your journey.

Miyazaki even recommends new players pick the pendant. He wouldn't ever steer you wrong, would he?

Spoiler

Just take the Master Key like everyone does, unless you start with the Thief class.

 

[Acid08]

I thought Mirror's Edge was fun but the controls were kind of clunky. Always seemed like a game that could benefit from a sequel with looooots of refinement.

Sweet, one of the RealGAF collages that was made (the one that represents the site logo) was shown in that GAF doc on GT

Yeah. I'm quite happy with my choice now. In terms of character at least.

You know at the very beginning when the crow takes you to that shrine? I followed the path that leads straight to the Catacombs, which in hindsight was a really bad idea. The truth is though, I never noticed there was another path I could follow. I ran back out of the Catacombs and had another look around. It was then I noticed a path up the hill that leads to Undead Burg. It is considerably easier going that way than it is going through the Catacombs. I'm guessing that was what I was supposed to do.

Nooo! Another thing I didn't do! I've invested a little too much time in the game now to start again.
