  1. First episode of The Red King was good. Lots of Wicker Man influence.
  2. Just kidding, it's actually a very good game that holds up pretty well. Very much the video game equivalent of an early John Woo movie. As for pointers...: A man who never eats pork bun is NEVER a whole man!
  3. Year of the Rabbit. Still hoping for a second series.
  4. Added it after Pete - brainfart as it's one off my all time faves.
  5. Toast of London GM Darkplace Ghosts The League of Gentlemen The Office (UK and US although the US versions later seasons are average at best) Peep Show Spaced Bottom IT Crowd Black Books Father Ted Green Wing 15 Storeys High Fawlty Towers Porridge Parks and Recs Always Sunny in Philadelphia Extras Red Dwarf Phoenix Nights I'm Alan Partridge and then, if we're including sketch shows: Big Train The Fast Show Harry Enfield and Chums Limmys Show
  6. Coady Willis still remains one of the best drummers I've ever seen live. Completely blew me away when I saw him with Big Business.
  7. 4 > NV > 76 > 3 Never played 1 and 2. 3 was decent but NV and 4 took the concept, polished it up and knocked it out the park. 76 was trash on release but I played it recently and it's actually really good now.
  8. See posts above ^^^^^ There's a native PS5 version coming out next week (free upgrade with all whistles and bells) so I'd hold off anyway (I can't wait to play through again).
  9. Saw this earlier... Terrific slice of entertainment. Tightly written, with never a dull moment and some superbly choreographed ott violence. Great cast with standouts from young Alisha Weir as the titular character and Dan Stevens as a slimy kidnapper. Good fun.
  10. Yes. Saw it at the flicks last week. Very good indeed I think you'll enjoy it. It comes onto Shudder as of tomorrow iirc.
  11. I always love how this type of game can be played by two people with such a difference in experience. Haven't had any of the issues with quests and been having a blast and making my way to the Warfarer vocation. It's one of the most 'pure' rpgs I've played since...well DD1 and I love how much freedom and lack of hand holding there is. Combat is great once you can hire some decent Pawns and get the group synergy working well. I've found that after hitting lvl 30, we can take on most mobs without too much hassle. The only thing I'm still not ok with is the lack of Portcrystals. I don't mind the travelling but I think 4 or 5 at the start of the game would have made things a little more user friendly without sacrificing difficulty. Really good game otherwise.
  12. 88% on RT so generally positive. Ticket is booked for tomorrow. I like most of Garlands work, he's always interesting.
  13. Can't wait for this. One of my all time favourite games. Assuming there's a separate trophy list for the ps5 update I'll be going for my second Platinum on it.
  14. Really enjoyed this. Didn't realise until a couple of episodes in that the actor in the main role was the guy that it happened to in real life. Scary stuff, but really good.
  15. First episode is fantastic. As someone who has clocked over 1,000 hours across 3,4 and NV I can confidently say they've nailed the look, feel, the humour and the storytelling of the games, but even more importantly I think even if you know zero about the world I think most will enjoy it. Hope the quality is maintained for the whole series.
  16. It's reviewing very well indeed. Looking forward to starting this tomorrow.
