Enough despondency and despair, this is the lighthearted side of the news (if such still exists).

How about a tidy mouse?

The Bear I tried the first episode last night, and the stress and tension made for fairly unpleasant watching, which to its credit was presumably what they were going for and quite masterfully done. The shot-reverse-shot with the clearly meaningful chefs knife on the floor was remarkably hard-hitti...

The Bear Watched and enjoyed the first season without quite catching the hype that it garnered in the press. Started on the second season and they have properly enjoyed it so far (am about half way through). Fantastic story about a hugely dysfunctional family in Chicago with one wunderkind chef who...

Wheyyy, somebody else who knows WTF Letterkenny is!

Loved it, I thought the last season was a good send-off, too. Shoresy is good, but not the same.

Also a die-hard fan here

El Gaucho regularly gets a "To be fairrrrrr" sung to him over Discord while we are co-oping

I found the rocket arm to be a real disappointment. Gorilla arms all the way for me, along with my trusted katana. Bullet deflection with the katana is a joy, especially when you come up against an opponent sniper and send their bullets winging their way back into their own cranium with a jedi-like ...

Same

My studied opinion on the matter is "Fuck off you bunch of money grubbing cunts". Amazon makes insane amounts of moolah, what possible reason other than abject greed can they have for fucking up one of the main benefits of streaming by adding in adverts that they then expect you to pay to get shot o...

Just finished Season 3 of Slow Horses , I may be in love with Gary Oldman's character. This show just keeps getting better.

Just started S3, loving the show!

The books by Mick Herron are really good too. His character is just as vile in the books

We watched The Commuter the other night. Thought it might be OK, Liam Neeson, Vera Farmiga, Sam Neil - decent cast so lets have a look... Utter bilge and complete dogshit rolled up into a bilgey dogshitty mess of a film. Do yourselves a big favour and avoid it. Or headbutt a 6 inch nail into a 4x2, ...

It didn't occur to me until after our session that I'd started doing Cloud Strife's victory animation with my golf stick.

Sort your terminology out, everyone knows it is called a golf pole!

Lovely little game. Snowy and I played a round earlier. I've bought the handful of courses that are on sale individually. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Upside Town and Shangri-La are only 79p each right now. Just to echo this, a really nice little game. A lot of fun to play as a co-op experience, R...

Yeah but worryingly that cuts both ways. If they don't nail down Trumpy soon there is a risk that he could get back into power. If that were to happen, I can't help but think it would be disastrous for both the US and the rest of the world.

I did indeed get Asgards Wrath 2 - I have redeemed it but not installed or tried it yet. Funnily enough I saw an advert on TV for the Quest last night with some footage of the game and it looked really good, so will be having a dabble at some stage. So far I have been playing Alyx, Beat Sabre, the n...

Some Amazon vouchers for my 10 years anniversary at my company got my wallet prised open and I now also have a Quest 3 - what a piece of kit. And yes, Half Life Alyx is bloody incredible.

Merry Christmas folks, hope you all have a day of too much cheese, booze and that Santa is feeling generous!
