Oooh exciting!!

Ah I remember turning 22 like it was was just last year, the hopes and dreams I had. Travelling the world before returning to find a job. Ever the optimist I was, and now look at me :pac:

This series of Boardwalk is good. I'm just watching it on Sky Atlantic so not up to date with the American episodes.

Decent so far. I thought the last series was very good though.

Yeah i enjoyed the last season too... i actually really like the show but haven't been able to start into it again this season for some reason! Must watch the first episode and that will get me going! Up to my tits with college so that my excuse, although i haven't missed an episode of Walking Dead yet!

Easily the best series running on TV atm

So when I finish up Sons of Anarchy in the next week or 2 ye'd be recommending Boardwalk I take it?

SpaceCowb0y · 25-11-2013 11:47PM

1st episode in, don't know why i put it off! great start to the season... think i'll watch another!

Swiper the fox · 26-11-2013 11:53AM

Boardwalk Empire is consistently brilliant, I've only seen three episodes of the new series to date but it's as good as ever, pity Gyp Rosetti is gone, he was an outstanding character, Chalky seems a bit more prominent now though. Have we seen the last of Margaret?? Surely not!

I'm enjoying series three of Homeland to be honest, series two was a bit off the wall but it was always entertaining if you left your believability hat at the door, series 3 seems stronger overall though.
I'm going to start on the last 8 episodes of Breaking Bad in the next few days, obviously looking forward to that nearly as much as the FPL overdose in the next two weeks.

Ok I think Boardwalk will be my next show so lads ye all seem mad about it.

Has Homeland improved after episode 3 this season? I struggled to even finish that episode.

As for BB I'm majorly jealous you have those last episodes to watch, forget FPL!

I've been putting off watching Homeland because I wasn't impressed with Season 2. I got really bored watching it.

Season 3 is an improvement you say?

FutureGuy · 26-11-2013 01:20PM

The Walking dead is very good. Coming towards the end of Season 3.

Also, anyone here with an Xbox One?

I'm a Playstation man myself (don't smite me oh gracious xbox moderator :pac:) and hadn't really been too bothered about picking up the ps4 any time soon until I started reading the PS4 thread and well now I'm weakening.

The plan is to wait a year or until my Masters is finished and reward myself then with the hope it'll be cheaper and all the bugs have been ironed out. If by some divine miracle Naughty Dog brought the new Uncharted game out before then things may change.

Did you pick up an Xbox?

Exact same boat. Utterly disappointed by the lineup.

I wasn't as harsh as others in my assessment of series 2 to be honest. If you hated it then probably best not to bother with season 3, I do prefer what I've seen of the new series so far though. A lot of the dullness has been filtered out, the whole Carrie/Brodie thing isn't in your face and thankfully Mike and Brodie's wife(savage looking woman but the dullest character on TV) have hardly been seen. Dana also appears to be gone though which is disappointing, she's a very good character.

Yeah. It's hard to get used to other technology now.

Toaster! Breakfast!
Kettle! On!
Toilet! Flush!

None work. Very disappointing.

I've started to go off gaming a bit in the last couple of years - and the odd thing I do play now is on the PC (still use my PS3 as a blu-ray player).

Thing is, it's the first console launch in a while where I haven't been waiting for the release and now it almost feels like I'm missing out. Feeling all nostalgic about bringing the console home on launch day and losing hours days in front of it.

I rewarded myself with a 360 after my finals back in 2006. Now I feel old :eek:

Danger781 · 28-11-2013 01:25AM

I'm really hating college this year. I'm too tired to go into details, but there is so much wrong with how my course is organised.

Also, the functional programming (Haskell) assignment is wrecking my forking head. Fecking thing be making no sense whatsoever..

But on the flip side... you're twenty f**king one. Half the posters on here can't remember that far back. I can, I'm still cool, we're basically the same you and me, both in our twenties... I can say this for the next 5 months

Spent the day in A and E today with kidney stones, last thing i needed with the workload i've got at the moment!
