I only got 1 of those references. Plus a half because I could see the word "saint" in the background of another. xx EDIT: Another half for another spotting of the word saint.

I got about 2 episodes in and got pretty bored - is this one of those shows I should power through for a few episodes before it "clicks" or did y'all like it pretty much immediately? I've watched a super-cut of the best Ricky-isms and thought it was pretty great, but couldn't see much of that in the episodes I watched.. xx

Might get a few good political punk records come out of it like we did during the Bush era? Unless Drumpf bans music. xx

MPs will be in a position to vote when they can see a clear(er) version of the specific deal we'll get. I think the referendum showed the public aren't happy but it'd be fucking idiocy to assume that the public want out at ANY COST, so an MP may well vote against Brexit if the deal we get offered is total dogshit, even if theyr constituency was pro Brexit. xx

Who'd've thought that buying unlisted shares in a company build on cheap marketing ploys and pandering to fads would be a glorified Ponzi scheme? xx

Luke Cake - I fucking loved it. Loved the political undertones and the references to real life.. though the Mike Tyson praise rubbed me the wrong way, given that he's a convicted rapist.. Seemed an odd choice for being swooned over. The violence could've been a bit more violent in places, I thought, but it did feel like it had to pander to a wide audience in a lot of ways. Difficult People - Holy fucking shit I love this show so much! About half way through season 1 just now. Billy Eichner is so much awesome. Stranger Things - I fucking hated the ending. The rest of the show was pretty good, but I don't get the megahype over it, which seems to be down to the fact that it didn't make me feel nostalgic for other, similar, TV shows and movies? Gotham (season 2) - Better than the first one but it has some pacing issues in places and it's a long cunt of a season with 23 hour-long episodes. Still really enjoyed it though. Rick and Morty - Loving this but my wife isn't a fan, so I'll be watching this one solo when she's at work. When I watch this I imagine I enjoy it in the same way that some people enjoy Adventure Time? Ash vs the Evil Dead - Brilliant. All of the camp silliness of the movies with some fairly decent (without being TOO good) special effects. Fuck yeah. I really liked DD season 1 but season 2 is, in my opinion, the high bar to meet for Marvel right now. I'd strongly recommend giving it a bash. xx

Downloaded bought from the DVD shop and it's on the pile to get through. Just finished Preacher (fucking awesome), getting through Gotham season 2 now (also pretty awesome) then we have RuPaul Drag Race season 7, Luke Cage and Stranger things to do! Fucking TV. There's just too much. xx

It's a fad. It'll never last. xx

This on Netflix? Sounds right up my street, Eichner is awesome! xx

I don't eat them though. Plus they're free-range bears. And I kill them humanely. So it's OK. xx

I fucked of wwe because I just got sick of how slow it is. Playing FarCry 4 now. 10 hours in and I've done one mission. Otherwise I've been hunting bears to get better kit and climbing towers and shit. It's a great game but there's WAY too much going on. I don't wanna start the story properly because I know if I do I'll have to stop to do all this shit later. I MISS LINEAR STORY LINES. xx

New owners? I just thought it was a rebrand to make it all theme-pub-ish? Xx

No particular order Skyrim (racked up 100s of hours on xbox360 then when it RRODd I bought it on pc and racked up 100s more.) A Link to the Past Assassin's Creed (all of then. Even the shite ones are alright.) Batman Arkham (all of them. Gaming perfection) Pokemon (RBY especially but all of them too) xx

Retroarch / Emulation Station. xx

The Blues Brothers. I probably watch this movie like 4 times a year every single year. Greatest movie ever made. A billion out of 5. xx

I'm using the shit out of the word "refuckulate". xx

Is English this person's first language? Because if not then most of those are pretty forgivable and I'd feel like a cunt for making fun of them... If it is however, then that person being your boss means your career is dogshit. Although I do like "Dark Fox". Sounds like a villain in Star Fox. I would play that game. xx

LotR: Shadow of Mordor is pretty awesome. The plot is strong but not THE GREATEST, but the action is amazing - similar to Assassin's Creed. xx

Yeah that's what I was gonna get at - that while shooter games and stealth games seem to be keeping it kinda simple with safety nets, checkpoints, infinite lives and billions of gadgets, sports games seem to be squeezing infinite complexity into the minutiae. Personally, my biggest hatred in gaming just now is fucking resource gathering. Like, Far Cry 3 is the latest in that series that I've played, but I got so fucking sick of having to stop playing the main quest to go find 50 fucking boars to kill and skin to make a new satchel to get a better carry capacity. Fuck. That. Shit. Just give me a good game without that fucking cunting about. What happened to linear stories?! xx

I used to, but since my game time is shorter now I rarely get the chance to replay a game so I just go right in to the hardest mode and slog through it. Regular checkpoints and saves mean there's not much you can't beat if you're a bit stubborn! xx

I can't even remember what the submission system was in 2k15, I just remember kicking ass at with! I set basically all of my heavy ground attacks to submission holds and just fucking destroyed them. Because not only do submissions give you a change of an outright win, but the longer you can hold it the more damage it inflicts too. Seems to me like they've just totally fucked it in this release. And yeah, you can turn down the difficulty too if you're a complete waste of thumbs. HARD MODE 4EVR. xx

Do you play a lot of Sports games? It's interesting you say that as I've been reading (watching youtube vlogs) with lots of criticism towards modern games for being too coddling to gamers and removing a lot of the threat and challenge. Going back and playing some older games, some of them were brutal! Though, many of them were harder because they were much simpler, but didn't have save points every 30 seconds.. Your face is shit. My big problem with the submissions is that it's hard to get practice. Like, the training at the start where you just keep jumping into submission holds constantly. I want that. I want to be able to train in the areas I'm weak in. And the reversals tend to vary wildly depending on your character stats. At the start of My Career I couldn't reverse shit, but I've been adding as many attribute points to speed and reversal stats and I'm definitely seeing a turn. xx

The MyCareer seems to ease you in a little bit, but it's still frustrating as fuck. Especially the submissions. The minigame for those is the WORST. I've been fucking destroying someone, have a full health bar more than them, and be beaten by a submission hold because it's such a wonky piece of shit. Reversals seem to be the key though. I don't even both attacking that much, just wait for them to and go for the reversal. Anything else is a waste of time. xx

I have a NAS server at home so when I buy DVDs I legally copy them to my home server for personal home use only and, since my living room TV runs my PC for gaming then I can just stream it over my home network using VLC or similar. I've never used one, but friends have similar NAS setups to me and there's software that'll allow you to pick a series and will automatically buy the latest episodes as they're released which is pretty cool, but I'm a binge-watcher by nature anyway so I tend to wait for the whole box set and get it all at once. xx
