This is excellent. Makes a great change from Cod style nothingness in a campaign and the suit is incredible. Few games make you feel so convincingly dangerous as this one, and the limits of what you can do are sublimely balanced. Design is cool too with a nice touch of clear signposting guiding otherwise player driven combat. Very cool.

Last I checked this was averaging around 26 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Owch. Total train wreck by almost every account, as predicted.

I went to buy some condoms from tesco earlier and, after eventually finding them, realised they keep them in massive fuck off perspex security cases. The fuck? Last week they only had them behind the counter, too (different store) Just...what? why? I don't want to have to ask for a box of pleasuremax...that's just not a sentence to be directed at sullen eyed chubbo teens in supermarkets. Why can't I just buy the damn things discreetly?

They should do a bit where you get caught with no gear etc. Would be a nice change.

I'm hoping there's a bit more plain clothes stuff in ME3-the way you spend all your time off ship in massive hulking battle armour is faintly silly, especially in night clubs and stuff. Nobody seems to care that you have a handgun, an assault rife, a sniper rifle and a shotgun on you at all times. looking forward to the new DLC. I've not played any others yet so I might splash out on the lot and do a new playthrough.

I dislike the fact that it looks like cheap cosplay made by a fat girl who cries herself to sleep every night to the sound of Beautiful by Christina Aguilera.

ah. ha. aha. ahahaahahaha. AHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAHA!

Finally found a working video. That was awesome.

Everything I thought I knew is wrong. This is the new truth.

Kieron Gillen is getting married today.

my night in song form:

Let's not wish for crimes against humanity ey? Damn it Ashley move!

What, like a laptop with Photoshop?

I love that this post is almost my exact train of thought/ internet search immediately following seeing these.

Jurassic Park!

That's not so bad- there's loads of wicked games due in the meantime so I'm not exactly gagging for a release just yet.

I'm torn on the 'mother debate' thing. On the one hand, the show is great and I'm fine with enjoying the ride, as you say. It's a very richly textured show (especially for a sit com) so the mother is just the final piece of a very enjoyable puzzle and her absence thus far is not actually at all detrimental to the quality of the writing or anything. On the other hand, the longer the show goes on, the harder it becomes to justify the dramatic concept behind the whole show. There's a danger (which reared it's head a little in S5) that the show will loose all momentum before the big reveal/ending. Known in the industry as 'Doing a Scrubs' it's something I really hope they avoid so that we all still care by the time she shows up.

I'm very annoyed! Ordered the Stark Resilient Iron Man trades this week but messed up and one of them is a paperback. This will not do! All my Iron Man books are hardcover. Anyone want it for price? About £8

lol.

Yeah, I remember hearing about that on the radio. That guy was just awe inspiring, he really was. BoB is definitely the better series for me. It feels better paced and more character driven than The Pacific. I think this is down to the source material as much as anything though- BoB was based on a single book (written by Winters I think) while The Pacific was based on two, written by Leckie and Sledge respectively. Hence the fairly substantial shift in focus half way through.

Totally ridiculous.

wait, what? really? --- I was, blates.

You're welcome

That looks amazing. Directed by Joe Cornish of Adam and Joe fame, so you know it has to be sick.

I think the question of the inevitable tie in will be the equally cerebral 'what is it to be a Space Marine with a penchant for knee high walls?'
