Shorty

Planned from the start?? Seems pretty perfect to the concept/title :p

It looks ok, but first impression is that it should've found its own strengths instead of going straight to Bruce Wayne and future supervillains. They should have treated like any great detective show, taken their cues from the recent big crime dramas (The Wire, True Detective etc) but gone bigger and darker, maybe a Boardwalk Empire kind of tone with the mafia etc. First and foremost it needed great writing, great directing, the namedropping could come much later. However, it could still be great, and if they do it right it's definitely my kind of thing. Looking forward to it.

I went back to ASM 1 to see if it would get me in the mood to watch this, and it killed it. I mean the bad kind of killed it. I thought I liked it a lot more than I did. And after seeing the new eyes in trailers/promos, realise the old ones were just awful. And not keen on twitchy Parker at all. I still kinda want to see ASM2 but... dat cinema ticket price for dat rotten tomatoes score....?

So I'm not getting any virtual high fives for calling part of Ep 20 to the word? :p As a side note, just found out Simmons is a friend of a friend of a friend so I guess I'm basically famous.

Yes, very much so. In fact, the only anime I'm looking forward to at the moment. It fell into a bit of a sappy romance in the middle of the first story, but that fuelled the motivation for the second half really nicely. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is having to watch each episode as it airs :p the cliffhangers were often brutal in Season 1.

Did you watch The Hobbit in HFR? It was... bizarre. Seeing every little detail as the camera panned, you could tell the backdrop was a set, you could tell that extras weren't really talking, lighting and costumes and makeup looked fake, you could see that punches didn't connect.... It was really surreal.

If they were going for that, they didn't pull it off! I don't want to seem too cynical, I'm a big fan, but there's a lot of squandered potential.

Exactly... exactly.... I can be pretty forgiving of this show's weaknesses most of the time. It's not trying to compete with any of the serious, tense dramas out there, just an honest comic book action show. But when you start treating your viewers like idiots....

I thought ep 21 was pretty weak... so many awful plot devices, like the magic hacking poorly hidden pointlessly flashing computer bug that picked up the stupidly unecessarily incriminating letter.

Whuuut, DRM that stops you playing a CD in a computer? Does your PC at least recognise the disk in My Computer so you can rip the tracks?

What happened to Rogue Legacy? Been looking forward to the PS3/PS4/Vita release of that one for a while.

Yeah that's awesome, I'll have me some Pikmin 3! From the Direct thread: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Campaigns/Mario-Kart-8-Bonus-Game-Promotion/Mario-Kart-8-Bonus-Game-Promotion-879238.html

It doesn't. You'd have to be using a separate memory card for each and reset the vita when you swap to unlink the account.

Titanfall and MAG are proof that more players does not equal better. As long as it's a design decision and not a limitation due to time, cost, hardware etc., I think it's fine. If you want an MMOFPS check out Firefall.

Just a couple of important pre-orders

It's pretty standard if you're taking the RPG angle and want to know your DPS and see the effect of criticals etc.. Games like Diablo usually let you turn that kind of thing off so hopefully it'll be optional.

Some very positive feedback from Eurogamer. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-04-28-getting-to-play-destiny-better-than-halo Although I didn't care much for the article (reads like a walkthrough and inaccurate point about snap-to aiming which never appeared in halo) it still sounds pretty great to me. It's like Borderlands but by Bungie which is a winning combination to me. If they get it right, this is a game I would jump on next-gen for in a heartbeat.

I'm fairly sure there's some kind of law against using Lynx past the age of 14.

It's missing from the features list on the eShop, so I'm guessing nay.

Why Snyder again :/ all your eggs kinda thing. Diversify, DC!

Pinner Road is near Hunter's Bar right? This is closer to Abbeydale Rd, but yeah not far.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-27183945 To give an impression of just how close this is to me, that silver corsa at the start is my car, I had to ask the police to let me out. I didn't know them but... damn... don't know how the family is going to cope with that. So unsettling. The house is just completely burned out.

Okay... now I want a projector.

Aight aight I hears ya. Bought it
