Saw Identity Theft, Bateman & Mcarthy do their level best to keep it ticking along but it's incredibly by-the-numbers stuff. It sort of tries to stumble towards something interesting but it doesn't give it much development. Some of the story beats are so exactly like Planes, Trains & Automobiles it's like somebody just took that script a rewrote a few key scenes. Not terrible but not much to recommend either. Go watch PT&A instead.

Oh wow. The plot: Apparently it's a series somebody's been slowly putting together, fingers crossed it reaches some fruition.

One can only wonder what factions the Americans will be facing off across the campaign & in multiplayer - Russians? Arabs? Russian Arabs? The possibilities are endless.

Chin up @Blade, I bet you'll blast through this like Bruce Willis through the Nakatomi Plaza. We're all rooting for you down here.

Don't lie.

It's 2am and I just found a whole heap of Bill Hicks recordings available on Spotify.

I'm honestly not entirely sure what to think - we've had the entire team orders debate play out over a few laps, one with a driver that disobeyed orders and one with a pair that did. If one agrees (as many do) that Nico should've been allowed to get by then, on the face of it, it seems one can't also be angry at Seb blasting past Webber against orders (as many are). Should we expect drivers to follow orders even if we and they don't agree with them? I honestly don't know. Controversy aside I thought it was a decent race albeit with various frustrations for Force India, McLaren, and Lotus. I'm looking forward to another taut race in China - hopefully without the after-taste. Even Suzi & DC seemed ready to go at each other's throats afterwards.

Well. That was all very awkward.

All the best love stories start like this. Only the best.

That was a really fascinating quali, Red Bulls looks good in the wet but in the dry their heavy downforce isn't so great on the tyres. Sutil looking quick again and the McLarens seems to have already made some pace progress though still behind. Bad luck for Kimi but he can still win from 10th. Still not sure exactly where the Mercs are but they can definitely gun for podiums at the very least. Also Kimi's interview with Suzi made me laugh out loud. Poor Suzi.

The bar for the Riddick franchise is still the hideously unrecognised and underrated Assualt On Dark Athena video game. Can't blame it for pursuing it's Pitch Black roots though, as it seems to. There are a very, very small handful of movies I actually want to own in HD on home disk. Kung Fu Hustle is one of them.

As I'm sure most are already aware, the Hotline Miami soundtrack is utterly unparalleled. And from my other recent purchase, I do love the FTL intro theme. Audio

A long overdue purchase. Also FTL & Hotline Miami for £3.49 each (50% off in the Indie Steam Sale)

It's going to be tough for Kimi to maintain the momentum through the season with Lotus' lower budget but he's got a good shot if he can capitalise on his advantage while he's got it. Looks like the Red Bulls, Ferrari and Lotus are all on top of each other with Mercedes snapping at the heels of that pack. If I were a betting man I'd say Alonso is on his way to a 3rd but we've still got a long season to go.

I love how awkward these are. Kimi looks like he's barely in the room.

Oh dear...

Sorry, I did a thread search and didn't realise this had a WiiU thread. Should've read above.

So anyone else looking forward to this? I finally played the first one via the THQ steam bundle (shortly before THQ collapsed) and was totally surprised how much I enjoyed it. It had plenty of flaws but was still one of the most invigorating & atmospheric video games I had played in years. Can't wait to see how this one turns out now.

NASA has confirmed: Voyager 1 has become the first man made object to exit our solar system. It is now totally beyond the influence of our star in interstellar space. It will be more than 40,000 years before it reaches another star. Here's it's famous gold record for good measure.

The club isn't charging men £20 for access to the club. The club is charging men £20 for access to the all women they can lure inside. Apparently it works.

I though Suzi did just fine, she's got a more straight forward presentation style then Jake but she seems genuinely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I'm sure we'll get a better sense of her with the others once we get to the first live BBC broadcast. And she does look good in motorcycle leathers. Also, loving the new intro. Nothing wrong with the old one but hot damn.

Happy Birthday Haden, thanks for ruling the X11 league with an iron fist o'justice. It wouldn't happen if you didn't. =)

New favourite gif:

Kimi was an absolute class act, didn't put a foot wrong and drove to a typically cool & smooth victory. The Ferrari race pace looks solid again and the red Bulls are quick but clearly not indomitable. Sutil really surprised me as well, Force India could be the team to spring some surprises again this year. Troubled day for Merc, strategy didn't work plus reliability issues but they've still got decent pace, hopefully they can build on it and get Lewis into the mix. Only shame is Mclaren, hope they can come back into it like they have before. Looks like this championship may be everything we dared hope. Fingers crossed it carries on in this spirit.
