Watching QPR The 4 year plan, quite a eye opener to see what they captured but most of it doesn't suprise me.

Watched it the other night,I knew that this is how these new millionaire owners behave,but it was still a bit sickening to actually see it!

Just finished watching it no great suprise that when Briatore stepped back QPR moved forward. I imagine a lot of clubs are like that if i'm honest, would pay to see a doc like that on Chelsea. I found the players at QPR just stood back bar the guy who complained when they sent their top goalscorer on loan to Nott Forest.

Yeah, it's great. Zombies are awesome and seeing people live through the apocalypse makes for really interesting TV. Full disclosure, you can tell it's definitely from a comic book as the characters lean a bit away from reality sometimes and into comic book territory, the writing gets a bit cheesy at times. BUT there's a ton of interesting scenarios, 'what would i do in this situation' stuff; and now we're in the 2nd season, i found myself caring about the characters when I truthfully didn't before. The main characters carve out their reasoning to what they add to the group/drama; and whenever things get a little slow, zombies hit the town and it's all high tension stuff. The characters grow a lot in season 2, making choices and coming to terms with the situation.

All in all it's a definite must watch. I think you'll be hooked after the pilot. They're close to finishing S2, great time to get into it. DOOOOOO IT!

It's an incredibly mediocre show that so far has really failed to deliver. It's even more frustrating as it could be so much better but the writing at times is dreadful and the characters are even worse.

I keep up with it in the hopes that something decent happens but it rarely does, there's only 2 really good episodes out of everything so far. I'm a huge fan of zombies etc and found it a real let down to be honest. Hard to believe it's from the same company that brought us Breaking Bad and Mad Men.

CMpunked · 09-03-2012 01:47AM

Gonna give the first show a watch now. Shall report back in due course.

Cherry_Cola · 09-03-2012 02:21AM

Cool, the 1st episode is one of the best anyway.

starviewadams · 09-03-2012 02:22AM

Been watching Parks and Recreation on Netflix,started out fairly meh but it's definitely a grower.

Tried watching Dexter after hearing all the hype and it annoyed the arse off me,I'd put it up there with those rubbish CSI Miami/NY/Ronanstown shows on my scale of irritation.

Season 1 was good, especially the first few episodes but got increasingly boring.

Season 2 has been very average with some poor episodes so far. Im watching it from the USA, so am near the end of season 2, and it has been one of the most uneventful seasons in any show ive ever seen.

Its a great premise, they could do so much more with it, if they went down the route of like 28 days later, but they didnt. They're dragging it out to get as many seasons out of it.

Its not an awful show, but its certainly not amazing or great or anything.

is it wrong im rooting for the zombies

i cant stand the kid and wife

season 1 started great season 2 has gone downhill for me

jaykhunter · 09-03-2012 04:54PM

I'm sad to see such negativity towards the show. I don't read comics but as a fan or horror & especially zombies I really enjoy it. The zombie scenes make up for any problems. Kinda glad I don't discuss it on the net so! ha ha

I thought I was the only one. If he did Sports Relief where you could punch him in the face for a fee I'd clear out my bank account to afford it.

GTR63 · 09-03-2012 06:36PM

Maybe you should open one of those kickstart accounts like Nigel McGuinness & Double Fine have recently. I'm sure plenty would like and pay to see James Corden get his lights dimmed.

grames_bond · 09-03-2012 07:57PM

Couldn't agree more about James cordon! Fat - unfunny - waste of skin and oxygen!!

are all torrents gone? <snip> Don't mention partaking in illegal activity!

In completely legitimate news, passwords from a site are usually the name of the site, including the .com. It might take some searching to find the name of said original site.

In other news, did you hear that GAME have stopped carrying ALL of EA's titles? GAME isn't long for this world. Sad to lose a retailer but I stopped buying games from them after their relentless barrage of "why not buy this game 2nd hand for ONE EURO LESS? Are you sure?" Must keep a lookout for their liquidation sale

Its already began, it seems. Its all the cheapest of the cheap stock but there are some real bargains. Give it a few months and a full sale will be on.

Lord TSC · 10-03-2012 11:24AM

Hoping I can pick up WWE 12 cheap then :P

Speaking of games, just started up ME3. Really frustrated that there appears to be problems with character faces carried over since ME1 but at least all my decisions remain in tact. Can't wait to get through this

Gamestop offered me 25, which when they are still selling it for 45 is annoying. Its very good, but its just run its course for me and i need moneys.

GTR63 · 10-03-2012 01:44PM

I read on Eurogamer yesterday that GAME could have as little as 2 weeks to turn it around. They seem to be stocking very little few releases even outside of EA Games & it doesn't look good if they don't release the biggest game of the 1st half of 2012. Anyone that has ME3 please tell me that there aren't any Scion's in it, I am finishing up a ME2 Playthrough and can't recall them being such a pain in the ass in the old playthroughs.

gnfnrhead · 10-03-2012 02:39PM

While we're on the subject of games, I've been working through the GTA's and am on 4 now meaning I have nothing afterwards. Doesn't need to be the same or even a brand new game, just once it's something fun like GTA. What's RDR like?

PS3 btw.

Excellent, one of the best games ive ever played. I never imagined it would be so possible to be fully immersed in such a game. Well, other than pokemon back on the gameboy.
But it is a fantastic game through and through. I couldnt fault it one bit.

Red dead is pretty good alrite. Did you play GTA IV: Liberty City stories aswell, have a look at Saints Row II kinda like the PS2 GTA Games, handling and all.

Charlie Haughy · 10-03-2012 02:47PM

RDR is brilliant! Really liked it. Didnt like the undead DLC though.

Its got great art style and an engrossing story IMO. One of the few games like GTA that ive finished.

Other games ive played and liked that were like GTA:

Mafia 2: A lot like GTA, not as free roam as GTA, but still good.

Saints Row 3: Ridiculously fun game. Finished it within a weekend, purely because I was addicted to it! Very rarely I play games for that long also.

Just Cause 2 was pretty good. Worth checking out on youtube or something.

I think they're all on PS3.

gnfnrhead · 10-03-2012 02:50PM

Thanks lads. I'll take note of them and see what I can get next time I'm in a games shop

On a side note, I'm enjoying GTA4 MUCH more this time. I hated it the first time

I loved GTA4 because it tried something different with it being that little bit more real. I know some people hated that and thats fair, but i wasnt too pushed. The DLC's are pretty good for it, if you havent played them also.

Has anyone ever played The Saboteur? It was recommended to me as being 'like GTA' but i never got round to playing it.
