    Had been scared to come into this thread for fear of Breaking Bad spoilers having seen it bumped so much recently but finally got round to watching the first 2 episode of this season I had sitting on my computer for the past week today. Then I come in here and see it's Star Trek & Shield being discussed. I do have high hopes for Shield but feel mixed on the new Star Trek which I also saw for the first time this week (and as it's now in the thread title temporarily I'm not using spoiler tags for this little bit). I'd have to agree with what Jay said for the most part, thought it was really good but found it hard to care as much for the big emotional bits as there was too much repetition of said bits be they deaths (or near deaths) or changes in command or whatever

    :eek:

    6 films! really? love me some Bryan Cranston and do think he would be perfect to play Luthor but thats a big commitment, they must really believe in the Superman franchise (though i'd imagine 1 of those might be the proposed Justice League movie)

    On the Affleck thing, I must admit to having warmed to the guy in recent years even though I never really hated him due to him being associated with some great films in the past before he was v.big such as Mallrats, Good Will Hunting etc but as Batman I dunno, def feel he will need a strong supporting cast who can take the focus away from him at times like Ledger did with Joker or Hardy did as Bane.

    I really hope Luthor's evil plot isn't bloody real estate - again! and again!

    No Dave Hester on Storage Wars now on the History channel. The Mexican guy who throws his money around is back in it, he is basically Del Rio to Hester's Vince McMahon.

    Did not know that, feel awful calling him a B-Rate Del Rio now. They took a Pro Wrestling style shot at hester at the end, who's the Mogul now? I am said Darrell in response.
    Is it true the show paid for a Boob job for Brandi, its either true or one of the longest running tv myths

    Just watched World War Z.
    While not as good as 28 days later, which I rank as the best apocalyptic horror film ever, it was still very good, if a bit hollywoody at times. Brad Pitt was very good and believable as always in it, and the "zombies" were well designed and acted. The sound of the zombies was immense and they came across very vicious and scary at times. While the ending was a bit limp, the first half an hour flew by and had incredible pacing. Well worth checking out if you enjoy zombie films, or apocalyptic horror films. It wasn't the action film I was expecting after looking at trailers.

    Finished BioShock Infinite earlier on the first go after giving up at the very last bit during my playthrough back in March iirc
    Seriously I never got to fight Song Bird WTF
    :confused:. Kinda got the ending but did it matter what necklace I picked for Elizabeth earlier in the game whether it was the Bird or the Cage?


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 12,013 Mod ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    **BIOSHOCK INFINITE SPOILERS**

    Sorry to disappoint, the choice just determines what necklace she wears for the rest of the game. I know sparing or killing the general changed one room in the alternate dimension (whether he's in a holding cell). I loved playing the game (the plot moreso than the battleship wave at the end) and enjoyed just how convoluted the final acts/revelations were, makes for great discussion/talking point. Also it prevented it from being easily spoiled :P

    Here! Catch! *throws item and bonks you in the face*

    Ha, yeah, loved it, but was really random. If you call him as a homie and bring someone else with you, he talks to people as well. Kinzie and him have a funny conversation.

    It was an okay game, but I thought there were a lot of flaws. The superpowers are fun, though being able to superjump, superspeed and glide meant having to use vehicles in certain missions became annoying and pointless. Missions where you can't use your superpowers were extremely frustrating. Some of the more VR-type missions were crap and went on way too long (nice ideas but poorly executed). Some of the special weapons became boring after about 10 second (don't get the fascination with the Dubstep gun at all).

    Overall, it was enjoyable enough, but I might trade it in as after finishing the story I just have no urge to play it again.

    So Son's of Anarchy is back!

    are we supposed to know who the young blonde boy is? maybe It's just eluding my memory or that (not saying what don't want to spoil the unexpected) is the start of some new story arch, but I wasn't expecting what happened
