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

The first episode wasn't great. I actually didn't really enjoy the show all that much until Gabriel Byrne left.

Basingstoke

I'm not interested in this game at all, I am posting it up entirely for the sake of Sly Boots, who lives there: Basingstoke is a tense roguelike that mixes stealth and arcade action.

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

I'm still following Vikings, but think it peaked at the end of Season 3 with the invasion of Paris and the spiritual redemption and death of Athelstan. The final three seasons (including the one to come this week) appear to be a slow descent into ever-increasing nihilistic drudgery.

I am on She-Ra Season 4. Still hoping He-Man will show up one of these days...

Especially the way that the JL adverts are treated as some kind of major cultural event.

Re: Currently Playing

Currently addicted to a little game on my phone called HOPLITE -- which is a brilliant top-down, turn-based tactical combat game where you have to guide a Greek hoplite armed with spear, shield and sword through a series of hexagonal caverns in lava-soaked Tartarus, battling demons of various kinds ...

Re: \m/ Metal \m/

One of my favourite atmospheric black metal "bands" (it is one guy) at the moment is Vials of Wrath , who lives in Tennessee, not that far from my wife's parents' home. When not making music, he seems to spend a lot of time hiking through the forest-shrouded Appalachian mountains, which is something...

I don't like his ideas, his stories or his face.
