Picked up a Nexus Shield TV instead of the Razer Forge... Nvidia's Grid service is forkin amazing! Does all the GPU grunt work in "the cloud" and feed the info down to the android set top box allowing you to play games on your TV as if it was through a high end console/PC. Great device.

What sort of games can you access?

Looks absolutely woeful. CGI is muck and the story looks atrocious. Like, I know that's what you expect, but they had the ability to do anything with it and totally took what was wrong with all the sequels and looks like they amped it up.

Tame raptors? :rolleyes:

It was actually good craic to go and see. There was a fair bit of disbelief in the audience at some of the plot devices and everyone was chuckling along.

One thing I noticed that was odd was the editing. It was really clunky where they clearly cut out dialogue. For example, two characters are launching into an argument and then one of them just says "But it'll be alright" and the scene just ends. Completely butchered it and was blatantly obvious.

A lot of deus ex machina at work throughout, too.

And the wife was clamped there. Decent fellows...she was 11 minutes past her ticket. Clamper tells her "we had our lunch here cause we reckoned we'd get you"...makes you like them even more.

Private clampers or Council?

Isn't it meant to be a 15 minute leeway?

In Dun Laoghaire you're meant to get a 15 min grace period after your ticket expires, you could check that out in your area.

Given some of said Mad Max 4 was good and I hated it, I don't know what to believe about Jurassic Park

irishbucsfan · 12-06-2015 03:00PM

I thought Mad Max was great. It was everything an action movie should be.

In fact anyone who dislikes it is definitely wrong, because it is objectively brilliant.

No. Your posts would have to be peer reviewed prior to publication. Which mightn't be a bad idea...

You're theory is most agreeable.

Dublin City lads. To be fair the wife is a fcuking eejit when it comes to this carry on. Mind you 80 notes on a friday morning is a kick in the teeth.

mfceiling · 12-06-2015 03:34PM

And the ban on us having sky dishes has been lifted. That many resident complaints about UPC Horizon that they had no option but to lift the ban.

Next door neighbour is a 60 something feisty finnish lady...apparently she tore strips out of the management committee about the amount of shows she lost etc.

Happy days for me as Sky rang the other day and offered me half price on ANY package for the year with no contract!!

RuggieBear · 12-06-2015 03:39PM

i cancelled sky last month, had a week without it and then they called me and offered me 65 percent off to rejoin.

Have everything in hd and sky fibre (40MB down / 20MB up) for 45 quid. (admittedly, with a year contract)

You've no comeback with them lads, has to be paid. Pain in the Swiss, think they are a little to jobsworth for my liking!

Can you stream all the games? Is it a subscription service? Or pay for individual items?

Might be worth a few of you putting pressure on the management committee. Worked for us here.

I think steam are releasing their own version of this soon to work specifically with steam. Might be worth waiting for that imo.

AFAIK, grid is specifically for streaming. There're options to install some games locally. Right now, the streaming service is free, but they'll be introducing a subscription cost in the future.

When it comes to gaming hardware, I know who I'd be going with if given a choice between Nvidia & Valve...
