metanoia

None of the launch games really grab my attention so I'm not bothering yet. Decided instead to finally retire my 15 year old Alienware PC and build myself a new beast of a gaming machine (it's for editing my our wedding video really - just in case my wife reads this).

I shall be playing this with all the settings on ultra on friday.

If they'd caught that on CCTV it would be a youtube hit. Probably be a DC comic soon, .

'When Constaneen inadvertently opens a portal from Smurf village to Gotham, help comes from unexpected quarters from Micheal knight and Johns ex girlfriend.'

I can't decide if I want to wait and experience all the Gaiman & JHW3 goodness in one sitting or if I should read it monthly.

 

It's coming out every two months.

I lost interest in Fables a while ago, got the last two trades at the bottom of my 'to read' pile, they seem to constantly find their way to the bottom. With it coming to end an end I'll probably read them now.

Sandman Overture is beautiful, not the best story as far as sandman goes but obviously it's just the start. Long wait now for issue 2.

I quite enjoyed the episode. I did however wonder why Hershal the vet was giving Rick farming and fashion advice rather than being a vet and taking a look at the sick pig.

This page takes about half an hour to load on my PC

BrBa=best TV show ever? what say ye?

Personally it was for me. The only thing that is on a par with it is Game of Thrones. (I do still hold a special place in my heart for Firefly)

I bet that was filmed at the zoo in Tenerife. They have a window onto the white tigers pool and both times I've been there it's swum right upto the glass like that, don't think it likes people under the water.

That is not a dinner party, you'll find.

Ok I'll invite Jenna-louise Coleman too. Does that qualify as a party now (it certainly does in my mind)

Karen Gillan, wouldn't really want anyone else there.

Really, well, OK, you guys convinced me to make some time to slog on through it. I just felt a little like I was just going through motions.

 

It is a big buggy too, two of the missions have a fault in them already, one where you have to kill insects to collect stuff, and the stuff just don't drop; and another where you go looking for some contract killers' stash, the box won't open, but a sound file plays , complete with attacking mook noises, but nothing else happens.

I played through the whole game several times and all the dlc and never encountered a single bug as far as I remember, atleast none that prevented me completing a quest. Is your console online? Might be a patch that you're missing there were a few.

I think that episode of Breaking Bad petty much cements it as the greatest tv program ever. Where can it possibly go in the final 2 episodes surely that can't be bettered.

I have the all of Batman Incorporated lined up next. I do have the first 30 odd issues of Legends of the Dark Knight in floppies, will have to dig them out in a game of pick a long box (really must get around to sorting them all out one day)

I've been on a bit of a Batman binge lately partially inspired by Mark and Rohan discussing Batman at length at the meet up and realising I hadn’t read much at all.

I’ve re-read;

Year One

The Dark Knight returns

Killing joke

A Death in the Family

And read for the first time;

The Knightfall saga (all 3 massive volumes)

Hush

Long Halloween

The man who Laughed

The Black Casebook

Battle for the Cowl

Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader

Grant Morrisons run – which I’m up to The return of Bruce Wayne

Really enjoyed Morrisons run so far with the exception of Final Crisis (just too much going on off page and tie ins I don’t have). Hush was great and Knighfall was good at the start but kind of got a bit samey.

So what next? Is the new 52 stuff any good? What do you recommend ? What should be avoided at all costs?

It's because Dexter's all loved up, he forgot that you have to actually hide if you don't want to get spotted. I watched that scene thinking he wanted to be seen, ridiculous. It's a shame because with lasts weeks episode I thought it was getting better, but the clips of the upcoming episodes looked shit.

I watched it immediately after BB too which just highlighted it's craptitude further. I think they'll all get on a plane in the final episode and the storm will take down the plane leaving a question mark on their survival.

BB - Walts 'confession' didn't see that coming, brilliant tv how can it possibly get any better.

I've never really understood the almost universal hatred of the Daredevil film, it wasn't great but there have been far worse comic book films. Given the choice I'd rather watch Daredevil than Constantine again.

Xbox one to be renamed Xbox one eighty I think.

Microsoft may just have dug themselves out of disaster with their scrapping the a daily online and used game policies.

I read it and enjoyed it. Definitely worth picking up. If you follow Delano on Twitter you'll see that the main character is largely based on himself, hopefully his real life is slightly less eventful.

I've been playing a lot of Defiance too, have you been watching the show John? I only stumbled upon the game as an online friend is an extra in the show (by the way he assures me the show gets better and better, and moves away from the monster of the week template).

Quite enjoying the game, very easy to pick up and play for half an hour, nothing takes too long. It does however need a bit of work on the interface, inventory management is terrible.

I've read some comments in various places online that claim this whole early DVD release thing is actually a publicity stunt by the BBC. Interesting idea.

The fact that there doesn't seem to be a torrent of the episode anywhere that I could find would suggest that that is indeed the case. Obviously I only looked for research purposes.

It was an absolute pleasure to meet some fellow forumites this weekend. Thanks very much Ade for arranging that walk, it was extremely interesting and has piqued my interest to discover more of the not so everyday London. I shall also more than likely revisit that pub again, the finest selection of ales I’ve ever seen outside of a beer festival, mighty tasty and on the walk back to the station I feel a tad alcoholic.

It’s a shame that not more people could make it. Maybe next time, and I hope that’s soon.

I shall now try and be more of a poster and less of a lurker.

I don't look that drunk in this picture, I didn't feel that drunk at the time, so why does my head hurt so much this morning. Must have been my new hat.

Can't seem to send you a pm Mark, do you ave the location yet?
