  1. I really love Children of Men. Fantastic movie that too few people have seen. And we've just left The Amazing Spiderman. I'll give it 3/5. I Some very nice action scenes, and Garfield and Stone are really enjoyable but i wasn't feeling it from Ifans as the 'baddy' and it took an awful long time to get going. I'll definitely be up for a 2nd film though.
  2. Downloaded the Maid costume pack yesterday. Certainly wasn't cheap. I hope it's a little more Interesting than the previous pack.
  3. I think they've recast Berric. As for the second season, it certainly had its moments but I don't think it was as great as th first season. Still excellent viewing though. I think the problem stems from the fact that they had so many characters to weave in. They also spent too much time with Robb, although I can forgive that as they need him for future seasons. I hope in future that they can go down the episode 9 route and focus entirely on 1 storyline for an entire episode.
  4. I should be seeing Dark Knight Rises on Wednesday, inline with the UK Premier. I'll let you know how awesome it is.

  5. You sure that's right? I've just looked and the individual comics are 69p, the volumes are £2.99 and h omnibus versions are £9 I think.
  6. I'm seriously thinking about waking myself mid-sleep just to make sure i don't miss out on any flash deals on steam. What happened to my life?

      You made the "new PC gamer" thread.

  7. I know they had Noire on sale 2 weeks ago for £5. Don't know if that will effect wether or not it goes on sale again.
  8. I wasn't expecting them to be updating the offers with quite so much speed. So whilst the SR3 sale was going on, i was blissfully unaware at work. Won't be making that same mistake tonight. My Steam App is primed and loaded.
  9. Super Tennis for the SNES, Fever Pitch Soccer for the Master System. Those where the days.

  10. Picked up Crusader Kings 2, Terraria, Portal, The Binding of Isaac and Sim City 4 last night for £17.82. Should have cost me £50 i reckon. Although the girlfriend doesn't see it that way. She doesn't know, bless. I've noticed The Witcher is on there for less than £5 at the moment, so i'll probably pick that up before this ends. Had Saints Row the Third been £15 i probably would have got that too.
  11. I've just finished watching Season 1 of Friday Night Lights. It really lived up to the hype. Can't wait for Season 2 to make it over here. As for the finale, i thought it was kind of weak for a final episode. I didn't even realise it was the last episode of the season until i checked next weeks listings and noticed it wasn't due to record.
  12. Payday tomorrow. Now would be the perfect time for a Steam sale.

      According to almost everyone, you may be in luck.

      My wallet weeps.

  13. That's what I was meaning to say. It's clear at this point however that they're only loosely following the story from the comics. They're afraid to go where the comics go, which is a shame. Maybe the problems with Darabont's departure impacted the show somewhat. That being said, season one never reached the highs it promised during the opening episode. Maybe we're expecting too much.
  14. I really want them to go back to the 6 episode season, or failing that 10 episodes. There simply wasn't enough story to warrant a 12 episode season 2.
  15. I'd pay off my parents mortgage and any bills they still owe. Rather than buying them a new house, because i think they kind of like the one their living in currently. Maybe buy them a small lodge on the South Coast. Then i'd donate some money to my girlfriends parents so that they can pay off their debts and what not. I'd buy my two younger brothers a house each. No mortgage, reasonable size and maybe give them a few hundred thousand to sit on. Rather than giving them a lump some of say £1m each which they'd burn through in months. Then for me? I'd get married, take my new Wife on a tour of North America (during the Hockey season of course). Buy ourselves a nice house with a Drive, Double Glazing and a small, easy to keep, yet private garden (we don't want much). And the rest of the money would go into my bank account so that i'd never want for nothing again. Question. If you won £10m would you retire? I know the immediate response is yes, but i think after a year of being sat on my arse i'd have gained a few stone, lost contact with a good portion of my work friends and started to spend my money on crap in order to keep myself entertained.
  16. Thanks. In an age where i can get cheap games on my iPad, or my phone, and on my PC if i want something a little deeper, does this really have a mass market appeal. Clearly its not going to be looking to attract the average consumer who wants to play the latest COD game, but still. If i can get the same game on a PC that i already own, why would anyone buy this? @Chewblaha - I remember when Kickstarter was the place to go if you wanted to help fund a cool iPhone case, or a Watch. Now we're seeing Podcasts funded using the service. Its a bit of a waste if you ask me.
  17. Is it just me, or is the forum running a little slow tonight?

      It's been running really slow for me for the last couple hours.

      The stupid green bar on the top of the screen is mocking me today.

      Its been running slowly the entire day til maybe an hour or 2 ago. Now its back to normal.

  18. I'm a little worried by the Android Console idea. The thing wouldn't just be an means of playing Mobile games on a larger screen would it? I hope not. I don't want gaming to go that way at all. It might be enough for some people, but for actual gamers? Not so much. Just done a bit of research, and it doesn't appear to be that. However, i'm a little worried about the term 'indie'. What are they classing as Indie.
  19. The one thing Windows Phone has nailed down is that home screen. I dont know that wallpapers would work at all. And as for live wallpapers, I'm far to concerned about my battery to bother with those.
  20. And a big f*ck you to you Darksiders.

      Man, I really liked that game a lot.

      I don't remember any controller punching moments in it.

  21. Played about 3 hours of Darksiders and almost threw my controller against a wall. The jumping mechanic in that game is horrible. It takes forever to realise I've jumped,leading to many a accidentle death.
  22. I've been tasked with looking after my mums house for two days. The girlfriend hasn't allowed me to bring my PC though. So i've hitched up with my 360. I was planning to crack on with Creed, but I think I'll start Darksiders instead. @themightyethan - aren't some of those shooters quite big? And I'd be stunned if you got through the Witcher and The Witcher 2.
  23. Just finished Metro: 2033. Can't wait for Last Light.

      Once I get my gfx back from Zotac...I need to get on finishing this game!

  24. I would definitely have sat through an extra 30 minutes of footage. Make me happy Joss, give me an extended cut on Blu Ray.
  25. I honestly can't remember that many Ps1 game i'd like to re-play. Grand Theft Auto maybe?
