the thing about daryl is i've been on a diet of Game of Thrones so kinda expect to see the honourable characters die!
p great ep this week. two massive kill scenes. the head in the
was especially brilliant.

i would beliee any of these stories.
from a distance it seems to be the case axl really revels in the freedom of his job. that he believes in the freedom of rock n roll to o what he wants p much when he wants to do it.
in a way i almost respect his treatment of the fans. at times it really does look like he does not give a shit about anyone bar himself. & you gotta respect that, especially the level he takes it to.
i mean i might be wrong & he might just be a nut & these stories embellished but at the same time i am envious of his freedom & attitude.
#1743 Re: The Sunset Strip » Nick Cave » 716 weeks ago
cool
i didn't really like what Hillcoat did w/The Road & i didn't really like Lawless much either so i never really followed thru on the rest of his stuff..
but i didn't know Cave was one of the writers of that Ghosts of the Civil Dead so will defo lookit up
#1744 Re: The Sunset Strip » Nick Cave » 716 weeks ago
yea big Nick Cave fan here
tho still haven't heard the new one yet
he's gotta couple of masterpieces in his albums & songs - the boatman's call, junkyard & of course abattoir blues/lyre of orpheus which is prob song-for-song his truly greatest collection.
i didn't really like dig lazarus dig! & thought the grinderman releases were uneven but contained some of his greatest songs.
fave songs would be like:
palaces of montezuma
big jesus trash can
the ship song
people ain't no good
no pussy blues
get ready for love
breathless
o children
lime tree arbor
mercy seat
where the wild roses grow
i saw him live only the once & only at a festival but he was really great fun wanna catch him again
i also LOVE his book The Ass Saw the Angel. it's real south america gothic stuff stuffed w/demented kids & crazy preachers/people. haven't read his newest one tho.
his film work is stellar too - the proposition one of the best westerns of recent times.

also do some of the daedric quests....(eventually someone in a tavern will want you to have a drinking contest...do it...best quest in the game) or another one is go to markarth and help buddy into the abandoned house
they were fucking class.
there were a few quests that really stuck out i was so pumped i actually thought "i gotta get on gnrevo & say to neemo about this!"
but i've forgotten them now! do so much it's impossible to remember w/o having the mission list in front of me.
#1746 Re: The Garden » skyrim » 716 weeks ago
well neemo, after reading A Song of Ice & Fire i was tempted to go back to Skyrim. i started it again, knowing what i was doing this time. i've been playing it straight - a nord, one handed weapon etc.
i was off work last monday & musta clocked about 18hours of play in the one day!
am currently level 27/8 & have at least 80+ hours, if not 90+ played.
have enjoyed this playthru far far more. got to grips w/the magic n shit this time. it's ridiculous really. so much to do. i've been trying to keep my mission list under control & ive been somewhat successful in that. been doing the dark brotherhood & theives guild & joined the rebellion. hopefully today i get to a bit more of the rebellion but i'll prob get distracted!
#1747 Re: The Sunset Strip » The Walking Dead » 716 weeks ago
I hope Rick dies fast, soon, and harshly.
I... HATE... THAT... CHARACTER. Andrew Lincoln is a horrible actor that makes David Hasselhoff on Knight Rider look like Michael Chikilis in the Shield.
Lincoln/Rick sucks. SUCKS.
oh man
if you lived over here you'd been strung up for dissing simon from teachers & egg from this life! the guy is, rightfully, adored in these parts.
i have to admit tho i still have trouble seeing andrew lincoln in this show, it still jars. it's like, "wtf is simon from teachers doing in this massive american show?!"
tbh while i get the love for daryl i was kinda hoping he'd die. i knew it was never gonna happen but one of the things i love about this show is it's readiness to kill off the main group. tho i think they've reached a tipping point for that now, for the time being. there's not too many of the original gang left so we'll prob be stuck w/them forever now. & yea there's noway simon/rick is gonna die. the whole ghost thing tho i dunno.. maybe it works better in the comics but it just seems stoopid on tv. there's enough madness in the show w/o having ghosts in it aswell! they could be focusing on rick's crazy killing machine son or cutty from the wire instead of this ghost crap. there's so many other stories could be told instead of rick & his ghosts.
#1748 Re: The Garden » Russia hit by Meteorite » 716 weeks ago
i saw one of these fireballs a few months back. it flew right over my house. initially it looked like someone had set off a few fireworks all close together then they started looping up overhead in a trajectory you'd expect from something in orbit but going even faster.
it was so close i could make out individual fragments, there was between 8-12 of them but when they got further away they did look like just one giant ball. they looked blue/yellow & pinky-reddish, they did make a some kinda noise, a small sorta hissing & a few small bangs but they kept their uniform shape & motion there was no explosions or anything.
it was an amazing thing to see & tbh more than a little scary initially!
luckily it seemed to either burn up or head off back into space.
i'm just bummed i wasn't quick enough to capture footage of it cause it did generate a bit of interest on the news over here at the time but nobody really got a good as shot of it as what seemed to happen over my house.
& it wasnt just luck of the draw. i'm a bit fo an amateur astronomer so was out that night w/the telescope when they appeared coming from the south/south east. i've never seen anything like it before or since. am gonna go looking for this asteroid tonight tho!
#1749 Re: The Garden » The Grand Theft Auto V Thread (Release Date Announced!) » 716 weeks ago
well we'll have to disagree on what consistutes a 'flop', i think. using the Bono argument, i'd say all but one of my friends have a PS3, or both consoles like myself.
compared to the likes of dreamcast or the gamecube - or virtual boy - i don't see it as a flop.
in fact, given the succession of PR blunders from sony i actually think the machine has been a success inspite of itself - the high launch price, the difficulties developers had in getting to grips w/the technology, the hacking of the psn. for all the faults of sony's campaign this term the ps3 has still broke thru in sales figures & into casual culture speak. obviously not w/the same impact as the ps2 or wii did but it's still a 'big deal' & a clear & quick reference point in much the same way xbox is. likewise microsoft had a horrible time w/the RROD but the seemingly unrelenting power of the brands ensures they've both avoided being flops as far as i can tell.
but hey, you could be right. i just don't think you will be!

It's interesting to see the threshold of Axl holding a grudge continue being tested. Get into a fight with him in public, pass, telling some journalist he never got laid in high school, pass, being involved in lawsuits and telling unfavorable stories about him in the press, pass.
What did you do
?
Haha too true
