The rot set in 30 years ago when they didn't give Alan Partridge his 2nd series.

A series I have tried to get into on a few occasions now but have always put the first book down before the halfway point. Almost everything good in that book is in the 2nd half, so I can understand some frustration reading the first half. :lol: Some fans of the series even tell people to start wit...

Malazan Book of the Fallen - Steven Erikson Getting back into my reading a bit more lately and these books have been a revelation, 10 of them in all. Erikson may not have the smoothest prose out there, some people struggle with the denseness, especially early on in the series - but boy is he a visio...

It's why I only use Tracked 48 with signature for parcels, instead of regular tracked 48 when selling. Stops things getting nicked - it sometimes means a buyer has to arrange a redelivery or collect it if they're not in but it's worth it to ensure nothing happens to it. Postage costs are higher thou...

Yeah, I always liked Red Heat. It's not perfect, but I think it's actually a better film than Raw Deal and Running Man. They're all kind of in that same grouping though, variations on the same 80s, cheesy, quotable nonsense. I'll happy sit and watch it if it pops up on TV in the evening. Can't say I...

BL2 was lightning in a bottle, so I don't think they'll ever find that again. All the locations/story events were memorable and it was just so much fun. It ran great at launch across all PC specs too. BL3 I completed, but they lost the plot with the story/characters/dialogue/locations. It was irrita...

Finally got round to watching season 2, what a load of pish after the great first season. It's actually pissed me off at how poorly written it was compared to the first one.

Really, really peculiar follow-up that did absolutely nothing for me.

Yeah, I've got a dark brown leather jacket I use in the winter/early spring - although it's a thicker, more modern looking one compared to those old-fashioned leather jackets. I couldn't care less whether it's in fashion or not. Besides, it still looks a million times better than all those anoraks a...

Funny you should mention Rogue Trader, it was going cheap on CD Keys for less than a tenner so I picked it up last week (I don't have Game Pass since I barely play much these days).

It's one of the few modern games my old PC can run smoothly.

Enjoying what I've played of it so far.

I actually prefer the theatrical cut of Fellowship (which is still overwhelmingly the best individual film of the trilogy IMO). It flows much better and the added scenes don't really change anything narratively. TTT is a no-brainer though, the extended edition fixes a whole bunch of problems with th...

In terms of 90's Jim Carrey comedies, Dumb & Dumber is much better. Although Jeff Daniels is possibly the best part of that film, so it helps shift things away from Carrey for a change. Liar Liar, they had a handful of funny scenarios but struggled to build a decent film around them. Carrey just sta...

My brother's ex-police and he was always amazed at how many people didn't have a clue at how badly coke can potentially f*ck you up. A lot of people see it as the 'safe' hard drug or something.

For me, I still vividly remember getting away from a firefight and hiding in some reeds near a lake, with just a few bullets left in my handgun. But I heard something. I turned around and there was nothing there, but then I noticed some small splashes in the water that were getting closer. It was on...

I watched some video compilations of this. I can see why the game's sales have been apparently very disappointing, in general it looks so utterly different to what the series was all about. Shame, because by all accounts from a technical point of view they've made a really robust game at launch. So ...

Call of Pripyat was genuinely one of my all time top 5 PC games. Perfect marriage of immersive first person atmospheric shooter with a semi-open world approach which actually works, in unison with some emergent/AI enemy encounters. It was easily the best Stalker game. I fondly remember the old Preys...
