  1. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    Anonymous in New York. Can i come stay with you? x
  2. I think this game is going to be good? I don't really know anything about it. I was sold upon hearing it had the same director as resident evil 4 and hadn't felt the need to investigate further, but previews are starting to appear and there seems to be a bit of buzz surrounding it... What if its better than good? what if it is an 'outstanding'? what if it is a MUST PLAY? Dare i say, a GOTY contender! Release date(s) NA October 14, 2014 EU October 14, 2014 AUS October 16, 2014 http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/09/22/video-preview-the-evil-within.aspx

    Oh my. That's serious business Congrats! Now move onto doge 2048
  4. Defense grid 2 (kickstarter!)

    Yeeeeeeeessss I've been waiting for this to go on sale as I thought £20 was a little steep. It's over 50% off in the PS4 January sale part 2 (EU). In the bag mush

    Industry movers and shakers twenty15 blaze it
  6. Movie/TV recommendations

    Mother flippin Broadchurch! That first episode of season 2 did not disappoint
  7. Movie/TV recommendations

    Also, not really a recommendation. We just watched the first episode of this new series, a guy is walking the length of the Nile and documenting it, it's going to take him a year apparently. Towards the end of this episode he met up with an English photographer and American writer who asked if they could join him for a stint. Couple days in they're walking through this game reserve in the middle of nowhere in 40 degree heat. The American gets heat stroke and fucking dies. Unbelievably shocking. The programme was kinda annoying me up to that point as it didn't seem like they were taking the right precautions, they got robbed and could've easily been murdered. Constantly walking stupidly close to crocodiles, hippos, elephants that could attack. Then this poor bastard joins their Micky mouse expedition and fuckin dies. Obliviously there's no easy/safe way to walk across Africa.
  8. Movie/TV recommendations

    Note how that comment was made only after the 3rd episode. Those earlier episodes were great and I enjoyed the flashback episode, but yeah your right it didn't really go anywhere. Utter waste of Dorian Gray I'll give it another shot as I liked the style. Dr Jekyll will probably turn up in season 2
  9. The Nintendo Wii U is Great Thread

    I brought shovel knight off the eshop ealier today really good, I could've happily played through the whole game in one sitting, but thought I'd stop and savour it. Beat 5/8 bosses. It's on sale at the moment
  10. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    I got a jar of posh lemon curd. Delicious
  11. God knows I assume this would've rebooted the series after Aliens? So like alien 3 onwards never occurred and this happened in its stead. Cool idea. I guess this would've been the result of 30 years worth of Weyland bio weapon reaserch? Although it says space jockey... God knows
  12. Ah okay, seems as though it was just a personal project
  13. Movie/TV recommendations

    Also, theirs a Wolf Hall adaptation by the BBC on towards the end of Jan. 6 eps long, apparently the BBC have spent £6million on it. Although the trailer doesn't look particularly exciting :/. .... But, Damian Lewis as Henry the 8th

    Broadchurch season 2 starts in a few days time! I think the first new episode is on Monday 5th, ITV1 That black mirror episode was fantastic! Really effective and actually quite harrowing like nothing else I've seen this year CONCEPT ART FOR A NOW CANCELLED NEW ALIEN FILM. http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=963607
  15. Job Hunting

    Recruitment agencies are full of shit, take everything they say with a pinch of salt. Obviously they're a massively useful tool in helping you get a new job, just try not to get sucked in by their bull shit. Half the time they will inflate the salary on a job just so that they can get you on their database, the other half of the time the job doesn't even exsist. My girlfriend up until quite recently was a recruitment consultant and when they had no jobs to work she would have to still phone people and lie to them about job vacancies to get people on their books.

    Blatantly the intern Jake, don't try and hide it. I bet you've already got him writing your forum posts as you dictate astride your new office big dog (which has nels face beaming from the front mounted iPad, and handy pockets for nerd rope storage situated on the rump)

    Apologies for the combo breaker but my phone wouldn't let me post that bigger quote inception and instead gave me a 'Bad gateway'
