Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Watched the second half last night and it was as unpleasant as I thought it would be. That said I would still recommend it. They stayed away from some of the more lurid claims (such as his penchant for necrophilia when working in the hospitals he had free reign over) but with a person this utterly t...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Jimmy Savile - A British Horror Story (Netflix) My wife and I watched the first half of this last night. It makes for extremely uncomfortable viewing, knowing what an indescribably evil Edwin the man was, but also because watching him riffs so heavily on my childhood. Savile was always on the TV, w...

Re: Xbox Game Pass for PC

Out of curiosity what's the benefit of an Ultimate upgrade - assume it is only worth it if you also own an Xbox?

Oh I don't disagree that he shows occasional talent, but if you were to stand him up against, for example, Nico Hulkenberg, then I would say there is no question of who I would want in my race team based purely on ability.

Re: The F1 thread

The only reason Stroll has a race seat is because of his old man. Always has been and always will be sub-par, if not entirely shit like Mazapin. It is such a shame that the likes of him get race seats just because they have rich parents, taking them away from others with much greater ability.

Re: The F1 thread

Race spoilahs ahead... I really enjoyed that one, another really dominant win for Ferrari (although a shame for poor Sainz), Leclerc and the car were on another level. Fabulous drives from Albon and Russell too. As for the retirement of Verstappen, can't help but think that karma is a bitch, reap wh...

Re: Max Payne 1&2 remake announced

I was disappointed by that, but on the flip RDR2 is probably my favourite game of all time. I suspect they will get more of my money.

Re: \m/ Metal \m/

It has great reviews, but I just clanged off it. In fairness I had it on in the background rather than an active listen, so will try a session with my headphones and see how I get on.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

As counter-intuitive as it sounds, meditation takes work. I try my best to keep a regular routine (it often slips), but it is worth persevering with. Apps like Headspace can be very helpful in giving you a regular dose of guided meditation. I started on the recommendation of a colleague from India w...

Played them back in the day but never got far with them, and they became early fixtures in Snowy's Massive Pile of Unfinished Games. Milk never came out of my nose.

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Funnily enough I am watching it at the moment. It's all a bit disjointed and trippy but I am enjoying it a good deal.

There have been discussions about a second series since the first came out, so never say never I guess.

Re: Xbox Game Pass for PC

I enjoyed Outer Worlds but not enough to stick with it - I tend to find that I quickly tire of busywork RPGs these days. Rather embarassingly Gamepass doesn't actually give me all that much - I do install things but don't have the time to put in, so often end up pinballing titles on and then off my ...
