    So, 3 Body Problem is out. Yay or nay? Can't decide, the trailer didn't really do much to me but when reading about it, it sounds promising.
    It's on my list of things to watch. It is supposed to be quite good though.

    It will be interesting to see what they kept or cut from the book, because that shit was strange.

    I gave up on Invincible after the start of season 2. I can't stand the voice acting and it was ruining the show for me so I just dropped it.

    Who in particular did it for you? Was it Rex Splode? It was Rex Splode, wasn't it?

    I've seen up to Episode 5, and i'm still finding it a bit meh. I can't work out if you need to have seen the 90s originals or not. A lot of the time they reference something that happened, and I can't work out if it's just a very heavy-handed nod to the original, or if i'm supposed to have seen it and have missed a lot of back story.

    I agree the animation is a bit...static, but i'm assuming that is a choice as a homage to the original maybe?

    The quality of the show is even more stark given that i watched Season 2 of Invincible at the same time, and that is orders of magnitudes better in every way. Better animation, better fight scenes, better villains, better dialogue, better plot; just a far better show.

    Still plugging away at Mass Effect 2.

    But annoyed because last night I managed to fail a mission. I didn't realise there were any missions you could fail (and not just restart), but the Samara loyalty mission ended up with her daughter buggering off.

    I love the way all your decisions follow you through the game and even through to the next game, but because this one was an actual failure rather than a conscious decision, it just didn't sit right, and I've been griping about it ever since...

    Ah, I think you're right - that seems to be what Netflix calls them. I think it's an American term.

    Anyway, depends on your style of comedy, but Bill Bailey - Bewilderness was a favourite of mine growing up. Surrealist comedy with musical numbers.

    Ross Noble is another of my favourites. Any of his shows really. Nonsense ramblings and interactions with the crowd.

    I know he's a bit controversial these days, but Ricky Gervais early standup was pretty good. He knows how to tell a story and hold the audiences attention. I think "Animals" is the best.

    [mention=20895]Julius[/mention] The Belgium away kit is a tribute to Tintin, it's supposed to echo his iconic outfit - I think it looks pretty cool!
    It probably would look cool if the Tintin brown trousers colour didn't make it look like Lukaku was running around like Donald Duck.

    I had hoped to finish another game this year, continuing my streak of 1 per month.

    However, Mass Effect 2 has turned out to be way better than I was expecting, and skipping all the side quests is too difficult, so it's taking me longer than the first game. The writing and quest design is head and shoulders above the first game, which make them actually enjoyable to play rather than just box ticking. Hopefully I can finish this game off soon though, as it's messing with my GPM average.

    I watched X-Men. Bit disappointed that there's only 2 episodes, for some reason I thought they'd released a whole season at once.

    It's ok, but since I never really watched the original and so don't have the nostalgia for it, it didn't seem amazing. Hopefully once it gets going it'll improve.

    We are slowly progressing the live action show. It feels very shallow and basic most of the time with some cringe worthy dialogue at times, which makes us laugh. The animation when flying is totally off, but the actual bending looks nice. 
    The world and story seem interesting, though.
    I also wondered why the Fire Nation went to kill all airbenders. Wouldn't the Avatar just emerge as the next elemental type, if Aang was killed then? 
    I suppose they would have given themselves 10-15 years for the new water tribe Avatar to grow up a bit, and given that they'd already started killing off all the water tribe benders already, they were probably planning on killing off all the water benders too?
