    game for £6 off 'instant gaming'. It was the 2014 edition (not remastered) but then the game just has a free update to the remastered version. Good stuff.

     

    Now just need to buy that bloody cable. Is there an difference between the rocksmith and rockmsmith 2014 cable? They look identical but ones £10 cheaper. What cable have you guys got

    I want to ROCKsmith.

     

    Help me choose a guitar! Please. I know absolutely nothing. dint want to spend a huge amount of money because I need to also buy the game, the cable, a strap, some kind of case or stand. Plus there's a 99% chance I won't keep it up. 

     

    Im looking at £199:

    is it worth spending almost double the price for the first one? Will I even notice the difference? Any suggestion or recommendations welcome

    Delaney is an absolute monster, which is solidified by the end of ep6. Just fucking horrible to everyone But i'm still routing for him? Maybe that's what the taboo in the title suggests.

     

    The Taboo is that we like and want Delaney to succeed. I love that he's starting to unravel now.

     

    We know that he was on the slave ship that sank right? I wouldn't be surprised if we find out that he was the sailor who sealed the slaves below deck, or even the capt who gave the order.[\spoiler]

    Yeah, episode 3 was a hot mess. Episode 4 focuses on the jughead crown head hat guy, who in my opinion is the weakest link of the whole show, I find all the other cast believable whereas I find him as a actor acting incredibly poorly.

     

    ill keep watching, but if the rest of the seasons filler is as bad as episode 3's we're in for a bumpy ride. Perhaps this forum could become a support group. We can congratulate each other on surviving another episode. 

     

    turn up the hot tub and pour maple syrup on me, it's on. #teambetty

    Absolute treat for the eyes and ears. Really enjoyed the use of Janes addiction in the first episode with the slow mo room explode :)

     

    im really liking the memory workshops, just give me a whole series of that. delving deeper in to suppressed memories.

     

    so he was mates with the twizzler girl before they both got banged up in a mental hospital, you know back when the were trading ovens for drugs. Was she always only in his mind... I'm sure we'll find out more about that as we go.

     

    cant say I care about the sister. She seems fake to me in her 60s hair and clothes, when is this supposed to be set exactly?

    Anyone watching Legion?  Really dug the first two episodes, such a bizarre show, especially for a comic book related one.

     

    I'm loving it. I came very close to creating a thread about it but then realised i don't really want to discuss anything about it.

     

    Its a great little puzzle box and i feel the less i know about/think it about it the better.

     

    1 strange tip. I had to listen to the first ep with headphones on as my wife was in bed and it was a really interesting experience. There's tons of background noise, i guess conveying what's it like to be Mr Legion a telepath who can't control his powers, would recommend

     

    spoiler about parentage

     

    professor X's son. I'm not sure if that is a definite. I kinda hope that doesn't come up in the series. No doubt we'll discover he's parents aren't real and all his memories are constructed, but i really hope Patrick Stuart doesn't turn up at some point. Just leave it a mystery, at least for this season.

    Been listening to this Grateful Dead tribute album (5:30 hours long :tup:) perfect background music to work too

    I got on to this after listening to the latest WTF podcast with Ryan Adams, which was a pretty great listen. Never really listened to Ryan being interviewed before. Anyway they discus this grateful dead song at the end which lead me down this rabbit hole

    Did you get the box of bananas I sent you?

     

    I absolute adore this programme now, absolutely glued to the screen. Not so much with the polt but more with the performances and Hardy crazy eyes.

     

    perfect casting is the half disinter husband, what a shit. Someone to hate more than Hardys antihero.

     

    appolgies j was mistake on the teaware set, very similar in style but not the regal peacock, do forgive me.

    Listening to Sam Esmail talk on those two podcasts I linked too, he reiterates how much he hates plot, Its the least interesting thing about a show to him.

     

    So hating on season 1 because who Mr Robot is or whetever happens at the end, (I can't even remember now) doesn't really matter it just a means for all the little interactions that I remember so vividly, like Elliot's therapy season, Mr Robot pushing him off the railing, Tyrell beating up a tramp, Elliot swallowing pills out of his own vomit. All the good stuff!

     

    god damn I loved all the Elliot stuff in the first half of the second season. The Seinfeld chats at lunch everyday. So good

    if you had asked me before any of the shows aired which I was most interested in, it would've been immortal Iron Fist. But that last trailer, woof, looks like a right stinker. 

     

     

    It's looked terrible ever since the casting to be fair. Honestly what the hell were they playing at. Hopefully he'll die and the iron fist powers will get past on to an Asian actor. That's how it works isn't it? Or is it like a reincarnation thing. I only read one comic

    Only just found out this is made in the guy who made peaky blinders. That's another programme I've watched all of quite recently. I really enjoyed the first two season but then the third season went to pot.

     

    i assume this will only have six episode then? I'll check... 8 episodes, that's a good amount.

    Just watched the 4th episode and I'm really liking it. Bit of a slow start, but now there's a hell of a lot going on with Delaney playing everyone off against each other with some silent masterplan, whilst trying to shag his half sister with voodoo magic and maybe even his step mother whist he's at it. I really enjoyed the introduction of the chemist in this episode.

     

    Tom Hardy dresses like someone out of bloodbourne, and there's occasionally explosive brutal violence to match.

     

    I really like the time period it's set in, feels fresh and different. Only other media that comes to mind is the game The Order.

     

    Johnathon Price is fantastic as the raging head of the East India Company. Gatiss in heavy prostetics as the king not so much, seems a bit out of place.

     

    And most importantly James Delaney has awesome taste in teaware, the Burleigh Blue Regal Peacock collection is one of my fav's :tup:
