Further wiki reading states:
The Hurt Locker was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won six, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay, making it the first Best Picture winner by a female director; Bigelow also became the first female director to win Best Director.

Was the Hurst Locker the one with the bomb disposal guys? I thought it was gritty and realistic, whilst I'm not exactly professional military I did go through a period of breaking into army showers and enjoying my Vosene bottle, so I think my opinion counts for something.

No, the Hurst Locker was the one about the footballer trying to remember where he'd left his clothes after scoring 2 goals and hitting the bar in the world cup final. |

Ham baguette.
I gather that "Forsaken" is an apt name for the latest Destiny 2 extension, seeing how many players have jumped ship.
AC Odyssey is fascinating. If the action takes place at the beginning of the Peloponnesian War, you (a Spartan mercenary) are talking to Socrates before he fought as a Hoplite a few years later and saved Alcibiades' ass. I'm finding their Socrates unconvincing, he was supposedly very ugly, what they've got there is just a bit unkempt.
Why is it called "Odyssey"? (I know the internet has already made jokes about having Mario and Bowser in it.) Is it just something vaguely ancient Greeky?

I have issues with the film as it's bollocks. It might be a good film, I can't honestly say as I walked out quite soon into it, but it's absolutely not an accurate representation of an EOD unit.

While I'm no expert on the correct course of action for safe bomb disposal, it was the portrayal of the British special forces unit in it that really stuck in my craw.
Chris Brown angry.*
* Did I do that right? I know it was a thing on the old box, but I never really got it...

Afternoon. I went back to my darling dog at lunch.
The little shit had knocked her food and water bowls over, made a paste and walked it all over the kitchen.
Anybody want a dog?

That Sony conference was weird. Ghosts of Tsushima looks fantastic though. And that last of us. Really odd choice for a conference though, they could have shown all that in far less time and added more trailers and announcements in between.

Have you sorted dog insurance? When they are young the vet bills aren't so bad unless the dog has an accident, but as they get beyond 6 they can really escalate so insurance on balance saves a lot of money. |

Not sure if anyone picked this up from the other place yesterday. Without bothering to read the article, I'm assuming it's taking that extra bit of time on the toilet at work. |

You'd think that, but in reality it's another candidate for the "Scottish Words with American Friends" series Crank recommended. Only this time the term was coined by the Yanks themselves for a working vacation, blissfully unaware of other connotations. The article itself is very restrained, the comments are a different fecal matter. |

When they are young the vet bills aren't so bad unless the dog has an accident, but as they get beyond 6 they can really escalate so insurance on balance saves a lot of money. I think you have misunderstood insurers' business models. On average, insurance will cost the purchaser more than the cost of paying for whatever event is being insured against. It's only worth having insurance if it's a legal requirement (e.g. driving), or if the cost of the (unlikely) event would potentially be financially unpalatable for the individual (e.g. house insurance, possibly pet insurance, car insurance). Poor people need insurance more than rich people, and should spend more money on it. Edit: also, the best dogs die suddenly without suffering, and after a happy and healthy life. |

Yes please. I need more unused dust magnets to sit under the TV. Well, I'd likely finish Ocarina first. |

I can't see them packing 4 controllers into the box. Would licensing allow golden eye anyway?

Goldeneye, OoT, MM, Mario, mario Kart, Smash Bros, perfect dark, Rogue squadron would all be perfect. Apart from mario, Kart and smash Bros, those others will probably never happen |
