I use to watch an anime called Samurai 7 back in the day. Its based on the Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. So subsequently watched the movie as a result. I never did get into any of his other stuff.

The original Ong Bak was cool. It was the first Tony Jaa movie I watched and then I watched some of his titles from the 90's as a result. Mostly drenched in cheese and terrible acting but man the stunts and fight scenes are cool. The movies just weren't the same after he went Hollywood though. I suppose Ong Bak was probably a blockbuster too but it wasn't Hollywood. Haven't heard much of him lately though.

Huge fan and I think the show is highly underrated. Beneath all the absurdity and toilet humor is some brilliant writing. The show is about as far from reality as it gets yet it somehow tackles real issues through some pretty creative perspectives. Like when Rick turns himself into a pickle just so he can get out of family counseling. Beth puts his antidote in her bag and takes the family to counselling without him as punishment. After being washed into the sewer as a helpless pickle he somehow manages to construct some weird, cockroach, rat, cyborg, mutant exo-suit. Then slaughters hundreds of rats as he makes his way through the sewers on his way to counselling so he can get back his antidote. When he arrives. Tiny, blood drenched, mutant pickle rat Rick waltzes in and climbs the couch to join the family counselling session. The therapist addresses him as to why he wants to avoid counselling and I just love his response. https://youtu.be/jQy-XoDPXqs

Any classic lovers in here? And when I say classic I don't mean Resevoir Dogs or even Scent of a Woman. I'm talking way back. Some of my golden oldie favorites... https://youtu.be/urQVzgEO_w8 Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961) Audrey Hepburn https://youtu.be/IqVoIQ5UsT8 East of Eden (1955) James Dean https://youtu.be/fJgC549mpRk The Seven Year Itch (1955) Marilyn Monroe

A couple selfies are in order

16 spokes in the front wheel! Jeez I know nothing about road bikes.

Kona might make all sorts of bikes. But consumers still conflate them with gravity riding. Probably why the 111 didn't really sell. Till this day I consider a Kona road bike a highly unusual thing. Kinda like a Mercedes bakkie. Then again... http://cdn2.autoexpress.co.uk/sites/autoexpressuk/files/styles/gallery_adv/public/2016/10/02-16c964_18.jpg

This goose has Trek's rear. Or is it Pyga's?

Great games. Portal 2 is in my personal top 10 greatest games of all time. If you haven't played it. Play it now. The puzzles force you to think outside of the box. You need to get quite creative with solutions and when you figure it out you can't help but applaud the developers. Probably the most satisfying game to finish too, addictive, and some great storytelling to boot. I think I mentioned it a few pages back but I'm about halfway through with this game. I just love it. It's quite 1 dimensional. With most of its attention focused on the game's atmosphere. But its pulled off brilliantly and you'll need to sharpen your pencil for solving some of the puzzles. https://youtu.be/y27KjX_FRk4 Brilliant little game but not as good as this. Played it last year and it was one of the most refreshing titles I've played in a while. https://youtu.be/QpnY1G3vt_0

https://youtu.be/Tm4BrZjY_Sg Sorry. But there's only one song about horses that matters.

Just a heads up. Fox has a sale going on. Picked these up here for R755 with free shipping http://i.imgur.com/JVm8BQU.png

Some more assumptions from me. Its very hard to scour the internet because of all the spoilers. But if you google smart enough you can avoid them. So I googled. 'Last episode Gendry was in' Which turns out to be season 3! I skipped through his last episode and found the scene I was looking for. This one where Davos sends him off on a boat. https://youtu.be/IQy8b9_uOGo He is probably already be back in Kings Landing. Laying low. And no I don't think there's any hope for house Baratheon. Bastard or not. He has no proof of his heritage. They'll crown Tyrion before they crown him. But you're right about one thing. Somebody is going to need to make all those Valyrian blades. Jon Snow being crowned King of the North is the exception. Not the rule. Come to think of it. Jon isn't a bastard at all. I'm actually very excited about him and the unfolding of his birthright. Especially now that his off to see the Queen of Dragons. Who is actually his biological aunt and nobody knows it. Perhaps his birthright won't be unfolded. Maybe he'll end up marrying Danerys. It won't be the first time the progeny of incest will be crowned. Anyways back to Gendry. I think he will show up when Arya arrives. It will be nice to see them reunited. She's also going to need all the help she can get if she wants to kill the Queen.

You're right! The bastard...

SO! I intentionally stayed out of this thread till I had a chance to watch GoT. Which I did last night. Man! There really is nothing else worth watching. My guesses so far. Its no coincidence Jorah ended up at the Citadel while Sam Tarly figures out how to kill white walkers. Remember when Daenerys told him to get his ass cured? Princess Shireen Baratheon was cured of the disease and if I remember correctly dragonglass or Valyrian steel had something to do with it. Jorah asks Tarly if Daenerys had arrived in Westeros yet. I don't think its shortsighted of our newly crowned queen to be more concerned with dragons than the undead right now. Especially since she is a much closer and more pressing threat. Some **** is about to go down before winter settles in. Also I've seen that dagger in the book Sam stole from the off limits section. But where? Who does it belong to? And what happened to all the other Valerian blades? Off the top of my head. Joffrey's blade - What happened to it again? It was one of the two Tywin had forged after house Stark went poof. Jaime has the other sword. Was it given to Tommin when he was crowned? If so where is it now that he's dead too? Brienne has one. So does does Jon Snow. Thank the Gods. Sam stole his dad's sword. And that's the list as far as I can remember.

This is a direct contravention of our friendship agreement. Play some Battlefield and we can talk about renewing your application. hoohah!

Already have. Yesterday. I even moaned with BT games on the phone. You better send me physical media. I had to wait days for it to download the last time! He assured me there were discs in the box. Then I realized. I have no optical drive...

I bushed this one off as one of those b rated titles for casual fps gamers. What Medal of Honor was to Battlefield. Then I wasched some of the gameplay videos. Witnessed it rise in popularity and now I want to buy it. Doesn't seem to be too focused on team play, strategy, mechanics or even eye candy. But it's clearly addictive and very well priced. And anything that fun that doesn't burn a hole in your wallet sounds like great value to to me. I might just buy it. Are there any confirmed local servers?

Its beautifully melancholy. Remember being a kid on a sunday night? Carte Blanche shows up and you get this harsh reminder in the pit of your stomach that its school tomorrow. Playing this game reminds me of that feeling. Sad. But beautiful. Notice how the scale of everything is exaggerated to highlight just how somber the world can seem though the eyes of a child.

You just reminded me to buy a copy before the sale ends so besides the beta I have not played Dice's latest addition to the series. I'll only start playing this once its delivered. I am a bit of an old boy when it comes to Battlefield though. Bad Company, BF3 (Premium was definitely worth it here) and Battlefield 4. I never bothered with premium for the 4th edition. It was a disaster of a launch and I bought it because of the masterpiece that battlefield 3 was. It did get better over time with updates and I've wasted many hours enjoying it. But never bothered parting with my cash for premium. The new one? Lets see...

https://youtu.be/D1HUGFt6Rcw Started playing this over the weekend. Brilliant.

Well I knew I wasn't gonna win. But I'm still sour.

Man you are dropping some good scenes. I'm watching it again tonight!
