Anyone watched that BBC thing called 'Top of the lake' or something?
Any good? Looking for something to watch on this weeks commute.

No.
Doubt it.

Read a book.

Like the Game of Thrones series.

I don't, no.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:51, Reply)

because you wrongly assumed a word used in the correct context was made up?
That was the reason wasn't it?
(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:52, Reply)

It wasn't the made-up or otherwise nature of the word, more that it made plain the tone of the thing.
When I got to 'Mance Rayder' I know precisely where I stood.

Thanks for the input.
I would read a book but I like the noise cancellation effects of watching something, so I don't have to listen to people phoning their family to say they'll be home in 10 minutes. Unnecessary.
And I can't listen to music AND read because I'm a retard.

Finally the onion-like layers are peeling back to reveal the real truth.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:51, Reply)

Wasn't that clear from the start?

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:51, Reply)

Yes, I was being polite.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:56, Reply)

I know.

You should watch "that puppet game show"
It's fucking brilliant, totally not shit.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:49, Reply)

That looks both wacky AND zany. Totally my sort of thing.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:51, Reply)

All the guests are like in on it and that just makes it really funny.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:52, Reply)

Man that sounds right up my street!

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:56, Reply)

The presenters are puppets.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:57, Reply)

I love that sort of thing!!!!!
I'll bet they're RUDE PUPPETS too!
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:59, Reply)

There should be more puppet shows for adults. That would be ACE.

( MEATSNAKE Richard Hammond, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:07, Reply)

I don't think they can show fisting on TV

(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:17, Reply)

Even ON DIGITAL?

Hey Chompy High end gaming chat.
You're a tightfisted bastard person who looks for a bargain, I want to pre-order GTA5* have you seen any deals?

*out on the 17th Sept.
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:52, Reply)

You can't get decent deals on preorders. Early adopters are often screwed.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:53, Reply)

:(
Watching the trailers for it, it looks awesome, this may be the only game I will have bought for the last couple of years
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:54, Reply)

Well you *are* an adult.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:57, Reply)

I know I mainly use the PS3 for streaming movies to the TV
But I must admit I've always had a soft spot the GTA games
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:01, Reply)

Well if you're only going to buy one game why do you need to save so much money?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:57, Reply)

Typical Jew

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:59, Reply)

I'm really against the idea of what they charge for a game, when it was Cartridges
the price tag of £40 was justifiable, they make far to much profit on discs.
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:00, Reply)

bullshit,
A snes game would probably have a team of 30 on it for a year, GTA5 probably had a team of several hundred, dozens of voice actors, physics, graphics sound engines bought in. Looks like it cost over $137 million, to develop.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:02, Reply)

250 developers for 5 years apparently.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:05, Reply)

Then why have they not increased the price of the disc games over the last 15 years?
worldwide They will more than re-coop that on the release date
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:05, Reply)

They've kept it down because the market has increased.
They are sneaking up, PC games used to be flat £30, now AAA games on day one are more like £40-£50.
(PsychoChomp, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:06, Reply)

Or they kept it up from day one

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:06, Reply)

When you buy a game, the way the game loads is an almost irrelivence to the price of the game.
Like when you go pictures, you're not paying £10 to sit in a seat for 90 minutes.

I am as I always fall alseep during any movie I go to see
Anyway best pre-order offer I have found is £35 by Tesco direct

Dad used to go pictures every week, and he'd say...
"What I want is 10 people dead in the first 15 minutes, a bit of a schloof*, and then wake up in time for the hero to save the world and the end credits to roll.... THAT'S the perfect film."


* sleep/nap.

Every single film I go to see
With the latest Batman using Wollaton Hall as Wayne Manor a mate of mine who works for the BEEB invited me to the premier, me snoring through most of the film wouldn't have gone down to well

I think the next game i'll get is Watchdogs, that looks proper good.
I'm not sure to get a PS4 or Xbox One, probably the xbox.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:38, Reply)

Isn't there some kind of hoohar about the x-box and sharing games?
I'm Defo. going for the PS4, mine is mainly used for streaming and as a Blue-ray player although I do hope it will be backward compatible this time
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:45, Reply)

Yeah', but they went back on that, and actaully, they've gone one better....
.... I think the game is now attached to the person, so if you go to a mate's yard, you've got all the games with you, along with your saves and profiles.

Fair enough I'm going to stick with Sony

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 9:56, Reply)

I missed that I did however watch "Low winter's sun" on Fox last Friday
I have mixed feelings whether to bother watching any more
( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Mon 19 Aug 2013, 8:50, Reply)

I watched Machete starring Danny trejo

Top of the lake is OK
it's in the "gritty Scandavian crime drama where fuck all happens and the scenery is 95% of the shots" mould.

Only it's Kiwi.
