this game kicks ass it's a shame that the online mode is a sack of nob in many, many ways- Which cockface thought it'd be cool to make it so you can't change character while in game? also, the only mode is 1v1 so you can't have stuff like ladder games or winner stays on etc. considering that all this stuff was in DOA + more, it feels ridiculously archaic. least the games are good- Bard can testify to some good fisticuffs last night

ehh....what?

Razorlight are a manifestation of all that it is to Hate.

at least it's the natural end of 'Generations'. still shit, but it could be worse

Saw ridiculously better than its sequels really- actually clever, grim and interesting to watch
-
I liked it- Hiro didn't make a convincing argument at the end, did he? bit of a tard...

is anyone a Ryan Adams fan? I've more than a moment to spare for his more inventive moments and his lyrics are often a thing of beauty to encounter. Sylvia Plath is, amongst others, a melancholy work of genius.

on a positive note, the guy from best in show who i think it is is very, very funny. that film is fucking ace. still...why?

hand to gland combat

Any William Gibson fans? Cyber Punk pioneers ftw
-
ok cheers. at least there's a few left

I kind of feel bad about that band- I saw them live and just didn't get it at all. It was only months later that i realised they're a kind of insane genius and make some really interesting sounds.

Oxigen already mentioned American Pastoral, which is a particularly great one- it's about how one man is destroyed by his faith in the American Dream when his life makes it impossible to follow. Really good stuff. It's also part of a trilogy of novels including I married a communist and The Human Stain which, again deal with self/social destruction in America, taking the themes of Macarthy era witch hunts and racism respectively. Both ace books. he's also done some stranger books- Portnoirs complaint is like a 250 page jewish sex joke and it's just hilarious. I've also read The Plot Against America which imagines the pilot of the spirit of st louis gets elected President in 1940- as a far right anti Semite, America never joins WW2 and jews start becoming an abused minority. Also worth a curiosity is Everyman which is a biography of a man told through the significant medical events of his life. quite interesting

Fucking Awesome Movie my day has been pretty good- slept the morning off, rocked the halo a bit, and some virtua fighter, then tonight we threw a surprise party for a friend's birthday. twas all good

as resident English sudent supremo, i expect you to treat my opinion in this thread as law. with that in mind, I'd recomend Philip Roth to anyone- he's an American Jewish writer with a taste for the emotionally brutal, political end of the spectrum with a talent for intensity and intricate character portraits. my favourite author.

anyone know how many eps we're expecting this season, strike included?
-
I watched part way in to 2. It's a pretty solid character drama that I should pay more attention to really. It's miles better than most tv, like, ever. for the record, who was in it twice?
-
it has Olyphant in who had a most excellent stint as a lone ranger made good in Deadwood- I've never seen such a convincing portrayal of a 'good' man with a capacity for vicious violence as his in that show. a good cast can be undermined by the scripts of genres with a track record like game adaptations though- see Reign of Fire for reference. £5 says it's dogshit
-
mirthsome effort critics are calling hitman '88 minutes of meritless torture' sounds great!

Anyone? Dr Oatker is my GT, I fancy a game
