Chatterbox Tuesday

Morning chumps.

Games. Watched a stream of that zombie game Tids is playing. Ahm oot. Too scary for snowflakes like me. Played some ass Creed Odd instead. Battered a lad with better stats using the Spartan Kick to soften him up. Tremendous.

TV. Succession. Top stuff. 4 stars.

Enroute to work.

Morning. Pelting down here, but PM is off so she is handling the school/nursery run, < evil cackle >.

I played 3 matches of PUBG with my brother last night, but we were awful.

Watching Avator for the first time, it's pretty average and the colours don't seem particularly vibrant or crisp compared to other modern sci-fi films.

I’m glad someone else isn’t bothered by Avatar. I thought it was bang average at the time, Dances With Wolves with Smurfs. Doesn’t help that the lead actor has all the charisma of a log. Don’t know why they’re doing a sequel, it’ll be piss poor. James Cameron has spent too long in his submarine, the pressure’s got to his brain.

Morning all!

Gamesblog: yes! I spent a good three hours on the PS4. Fallout 4, you may have heard of it?
It’s been two and a half years since I last roamed the Commonwealth. Completed some Far Harbour missions, did up a settlement on the island, and then returned to the mainland to battle some robots. Good times.

TVblog: no!

Avatarblog: I liked the white-haired marine baddie. The film itself worked well in 3D, but watching it in 2D just makes you feel like your watching a game cut-scene.

How about Star Wars?

I've tried Succession twice and don't get it. People tell me that a) I probably don't like it because the characters are all awful (i.e. they think I am an idiot whose tastes are insufficiently edgy); or b) what's great about it is that the characters are all awful (i.e. they are worried I think they are an idiot whose tastes are insufficiently edgy).

I am leaning towards c) I am right and everybody else in the world is wrong. It's not nearly as funny as it keeps telling you it is, it basically has no plot, just variations of the same thing happening over and over again, and Kieran Culkin is a very irritating performer.

Having said that, I might watch it again later and change my mind.

Should we ask opinions on marvel films?
Avatar rewatch to get ready for the sequels which have been done or just as you hate yourself?
New NES for old films, dances with smurfs or smurfs with wolves? One sounds more fun to watch.
Bit more fc6 with a rampant rooster. Watched some C4 cruise advertising, seems like it's a big publicity push to get people back on plague ships. There was a rather large ship docked in Portsmouth two weeks ago, not sure a climbing wall at the top back is sensible if it gets choppy.

The last Thor film was pretty good, as was Doctor Strange. The Infinity Wars films are pretty good. The rest range from terrible (Black Panther, Captain America) to average (Captain Marvel, Iron Man).

Avatar - never watched it before.

I suspect Sheep2's knowledge of 'spoons pubs reveals a familiarity with which he is not entirely happy to declare.


I'm not big fan of Wetherspoons. I don't like Tim Martin very much. Also the tables never seem to be properly wiped
I have been to plenty of them.
There are a lot of them though and they are often convenient. Plus the beer is usually good and the prices are low.
When I lived in Bristol we used to go to the Commercial Rooms and the one at the Triangle reasonably often as they were convenient.

I did really like one in Chester. It was quite smart and open until 2 a.m. Plus it had different rooms so we were able to sit in a quiet room.

I would generally choose other pubs over Wetherspoons, but I would definitely choose Wetherspoons over no pub. I am not ashamed of this.

Tids - are you still having trouble with the JWs?

If so tell them you are disfellowshipped. This means they are not allowed to contact you.
