This got reviewed on Newsnight last night. Said it was like Desperate Housewives and Six Feet Under without the intelligence, less heart and more obscenities.

Stuck up twats.

WOW! So worth it!

Nearly cried towards the end.

Oh, and over the top drunk people in comedy sections (see: Deanna Troy in First Contact)

Any light-hearted bits in TNG movies make me sick. Especially the Data ones.

"Lock and load"

Oh fuck off, Data.

Much amount of merriment...

...little bit of sexwee too...

...dot com

Added: saying 'dot com' is cool again thanks to this show. Don't get at me.

Damn...still three hours to go for me

I thought the first album was great and I'm not even a big fan of this sort of thing. They did however suck live because they looked lost, the set up was all wrong and they didn't have enough songs. I still listen to the album now and again though.

The new album seems more of the same but I can't find any songs that really stand out. Certainly no singles. And I imagine you all think the same since no songs have been mentioned in this thread.

This album seems rushed out to stay on the crest of the new indie wave. They could have taken their time and made another album of potential hits. Their catchy tunes would have been timeless if treat right. But no, they decided to cash in before all the kids realise that wearing ties, being aloof and only having one eye poking through their hair just isn't very cool.

I miss the PES4 music. It was much better. It was the soundtrack to my life.

You've not played it then?  It's not a case of being tougher.  They're utterly, utterly ridiculously fucked.  They absolutely ruin the game.  (In WE9, I mean, but SU's comments indicate it's the same in PES5).

I have played it. But I play a very softly, softly approach so it hasn't been too bad to me.

After a bit more play: I just had another go at the game (the trainer crack rules, btw) and I still don't see it. I was happily putting in sliding challenges and hussling for each ball. While the 'advantage' logo kept appearing I didn't give away free kicks.

I thought that PES4 had tougher and less fair referees than 3. It just took a while to get the tackles right. I'm hoping this will be the same.

Everyone always complains about the subtle differences...until the next game comes out and we all back up these subtle things.

But that'll be an hour wasted not playing computer games.

burnout revenge: very slick...not very fun

I never really felt like I was driving, but I was being driven myself

5/10

I didn't like Family Guy this week. Normally I don't mind the episodes without a strong storyline to link the story together...but all the jokes have to be top-draw to get away with it and they weren't in this episode.

I can't wait for hardware tesselators. It can be used for level of detail stuff everywhere. If this displacement mapping is used right then we'll have just as many polygons on screen as before but they'll all be put in the best places.

Unsure about Tyler. Seems to be like any thick/dippy character from a bbc/pc sit-com. Either that or they are using him to replace Trigger.

←

Keep an eye on the face of Tyler in the background. He always seems to be pulling odd looks when something stupid happens or his parents say something daft. Subtle but good.

Actually, all the main stoners seem to be portrayed as losers/fools.

←

I've been enjoying Weeds too. It's pretty good, but as amusing as it is, I can't see it going into a new series. Same with Jake In Progress and Committed last year...good, but not good enough.

I'm getting all worked up about seeing Arrested Development again. Best comedy at the moment. I'll also be getting Curb, Scrubs, Family Guy, American Dad, Malcolm in the Middle, Joey (it improved towards the end).

When are South Park and The Office starting?

btw, I hope you all watched the last series of Monk that has just finished. If not, shame on you...SHAME!!

Apologies if anyone here is a fat smelly nerd. Actually no, have a shower and do some exercise you fat smelly nerd.

←

Aren't you better off exercising and then having that shower?

I don't think there will be a proper sequel as the publisher lost the rights ...is that right?

True. I only just saw it yesterday in Edge. I loved the other games and I love the Ultimate comic book. There was me thinking there was going to be no games to interest me this autumn.

We have to remember that Samuel L Jackson is a very busy man. No doubt he was working (or whoring himself) on several budget price DVD films that week.

The Adam Sandler one (Ben Stiller...) is actually possibly my favourite one now, yeah.

...not that all these American comedians look the same to us.

I sadly sold Luigi's Mansion. I'm going to have to buy that back on the cheap. I never got around to playing Metroid Prime 2 either. Super Mario Sunshine was sold from my collection too so I'd have to get that back I think.

AS for my XBOX, I've had my eye on Ninja Gaiden for a while. I'd like to get BG&E too...I have it for PC (got it for cheap then too) but couldn't be bothered as I'm not really a PC gamer.

I sold my Burnout games too (2 mostly). I'd like to have them back but they aren't a priority.

I still have quiet a few games that I haven't really played yet. I never really played much of Zelda:WW as I never had the time. Jade Empire is half finished. I stopped playing Prince of Persia:SoT 75% of the way in.

I'm totally not getting a next-gen for a long time tho so I'm greatful for the incomplete challenges.

I've been hearing episode 5 is kicking about in some places
