Knowing phrases would be easy if they popped in and out of my dreeeeams, they're fading sheens, in and out of my dreeee-eeee-eeeams.

Hahaha! Possibly the best/funniest post I've ever read. Retro you know how to make a man laugh!

Oh right, my least favourite thing ever: Onions. I cannae stand them, they are disgusting texture wise, they impair the flavour of everything, and yet everyone says they enhance the taste of stuff like curry or stir-fry etc etc. They don't, they just give food a faint crappy quality.

The feeling you get when you realise that other people know that you just saved the world, but you know that they want you to write for 'Hello' magazines to share your experiences, when really all you want is to sit down and enjoy a cup of Earl Grey.

Just finished the first season of The Wire. ;wbr;lgjrvlrn.... No superlative does this show justice. This makes it hard to now follow up with my thoughts on it, but seriously, if I say something about an aspect, I'm saying it in a way that means it is out of every other show's league. When it ended, I was thinking 'wow, I've watched one fifth of something that just can't be beaten'. I felt quite saddened. They could not have made it any better. I literally cannot watch anything after this show that is of a higher quality. The acting is astounding, never did I question the actor behind a character, I was fully hooked into everyone's lives and personalities. The relationships between people as individuals and as groups is amazing. The script is fantastic, the way the whole thing is cut together is genius, there's never a dull moment, yet so much brilliance is packed into the 'non-important' scenes - but that's the thing, they are the most important things because it's what elevates the production beyond anything out there. The fact that there's little actual action is testament to how gripping the plot is. You know there will be some around the corner, but you want to know every detail as to what's going on. There's enough subtlety to keep you on your toes but almost everything is really clear. More awesomeness comes in how the writers sprinkle in a few tidbits in one episode that make more sense or come to fruition later down the line. You won't have forgotten the original piece of information either because you're a greedy motherfucking voyeur and you can't help but want more, and grin at how everything is so perfect and how everything intertwines and...just makes sense. Each end to a mini chapter, in which an uncertain event or difficulty rears its head, feels as though it is wrapped up in a way that improves upon the ideal vision you had in your head for it. There is relief when the people you're rooting for manage to cotton onto something, and there is surprise when you realise some characters are better than you first imagined. This makes the flipside, i.e. a downturn in events, far more hard-hitting. It's why you don't ever want The Wire to end, because it's just too damn involving. -- Moving away from review mode (slightly), just wondered if people would like to share their favourite moments or characters from Season 1? I won't spoil anything, even if minor, for those who I've hopefully convinced to get off their sorry ass and watch the best TV they'll ever come across. The thing is, there's so many incredible characters, you feel like they all need a mention.

OMG Lolwin! You're such a Prosilol! Kemp! You forgot these.... I have a lot myself, everyone does, I just never take the time to write them down. I find online phrases are engraining into my daily speech more and more though, to a perilous level. 'Fail' irl does not wash with me, it's despicable. Adding prefixes/suffixes does indeed dampen the lose. 'Lose' is a much better word, it's taking off with me. For me, 'losetube' is making the rounds and is satisfying a gulf in my vocab somewhere.

I'll happily watch The Fountain etc, but seriously, The Midnight Express is fantastic, and I wouldn't say many have heard about/seen it. It's a fairly old film, but it has aged tremendously well and is really gripping, in some cases avery haunting. Plus it's very watchable because it's a film about escape and life changes, similar to that of Shawshank, except a lot different. Really deserved of being on the list. I won't press for anyone to watch a film in the 'club' anymore, my suggestions will be just that - suggestions.

Have to agree with Will Ferrel - Anchorman Tommy Lee Jones - The Fugitive Tom Cruise - Scientology. It's amazing.

Some decent gameplay footage: http://dualshockers.com/2010/07/31/motorstorm-apocalypse-is-the-uncharted-2-of-driving-games-gameplay-footage-from-sony-beta-rooms-event/ It looks amazing. Not sure this is an actual Motorstorm game though, seems gimmicky and linear and too much like Burnout. You may look upon that positively but it's not what I want from this. We'll see.

I enjoy dolloping Sellotape into my elephant meringue stabilisers, at acute angles, especially when the maple tree particles are sufficiently saturated with curtain soup.

I don't think Pavelow should count towards streaks anyway, on the PS3 at least they rarely fail to get more than 7 or 8 kills.

You've obviously not experienced hitting a decent '4' or done an awesome clean bowl onto the stumps. It's not as good as football, but you can't play football all the time. Most villagers that play the game are a bit... simple. Like Phil Tufnell.

Cricket is win. Well, it can be.

Eugggghhhhhhhhhhhh.

It has potential, it depends on how you pair your writing with the cartoon. Style wise I think it just needs a bit more... detail or sommat. Moar going on essentially.

It's hard to do something like this with a budget of just 7000 dollars, but they could have at least cut it better and made each scene more defined. Plus not knowing about the narrator means it is hard to follow unless you rewatch it.

I'm being very blunt, it isn't actually a bad suggestion, a bit of variety is a good idea. Plus there'd be a lot of discussion about it I guess. The music in the 'action' parts is actually quite frightening. I still wouldn't want to watch it on my own in a dark room, heh.

But racing games are all about the tracks and vehicles, in which neither are similar. What I'm saying is that they feel very different, just the very weight of it all makes it vastly unique. But hey, I haven't played the game I'll shurrup, afterall, I'm asking for yo' opinionage.

Wipeout has different speed levels. Plus, you can't get faster than the Zone. The Zones will always win... As for Motorstorm !?!?!? It's nothing like Burnout! Give me some decent impressions man, I've played their console brethrens, I wanna know the credit card detailz! How it is on the Puusp.

Lol @ identity crisis. Stupid Funktion...

I've seen it, I just thought it was a bit pants and I'd rather spend an hour and a half watching something that's what I'd call good viewing, something I'd watch today and respect. Not something that's interesting viewing due to its age.

I've recently been rinsing it up with the FAL with Holographic and Silencer (plus SPAS foregrip). It kills in 2 hits and is generally very funny and loltastic. Just had a 19-0. It's great for maps like Wasteland and is generally amazing. What makes it work - the holographic for some reason increases its damage.

I don't know, but it was awesome.
