  1. So I watched the first half an hour of Friends With Benefits, right, and what I'm taking from it is that the movie wants me to feel invested in these people and care about the future of their relationship, BUT they're horrible people and I don't want them to be happy. It's like that Love and Other Drugs film, only I don't think this one has tits in it. Although I have seen Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Jesse Eisenberg on this screen. If they sacked Kunis and Trousersnake off and just had those three fight Zombies, THAT would be a good film.
  2. I got on last night, tried to start Defender from the Pause menu and it wouldn't let me because the game services were down. Put my phone up and started a random mission from their (ATV Steal) and that worked fine. Except the idiot who joined the session failed the mission for us (I had been stalking him and killing him in Freemode prior to that. He drove past me and I aimed at him but didn't fire, which he apparently thought was how I open hostilities. He started chasing me, I got out of my car and took cover behind it, he rammed the car and it said I committed Suicide (because my car killed me, not his car). Then he ran away and killed a low-leveller. I caught up to him and got about 10 kills on him in a row (without him getting one) before I got bored and decided to mission it). We go to the vote on next job screen. He votes replay. I vote for something called Mario's Race. That wins. He leaves the session, I start the race solo. First lap, I crash and get stuck behind a car, and basically have a horrible performance. Cross the start/finish, and it says New Fastest Lap! World Record! Second lap, I don't crash or get stuck, and have a better time, and I get another Fastest Lap! World Record! Then I did something called Far Out Loop and the same thing happens. I levelled up from the RP bonuses for record breaking. Went to Freemode, got a bounty for stealing a car to drive back to my car after selling the first car I stole. BUT everyone else in session was a) Friendly* and b) sitting in their apartment waiting out a bounty. So I drove my Panto to the airport ramps again, and id some crazy stunting. I think they were spectating me, because after I'd gone up north, they were out in the city and LS Customs, and after we'd all got rid of our bounties (I survived mine - it took a shitload longer than 45 minutes though, and I had to kill Cris in self defence one time) when they came out they both had custom Pantos**, and went straight to the airport to jump them. * One of them was my character's girlfriend. I think we're actually engaged now. We need to legalise gay marriage in Grand Theft Auto. ** I decided that since I'm the King of racing in Compacts, my Compacts should look more regal. So now both the Panto and Issi are Primary Colour Pure Gold, Secondary Colour Chrome. Well, my Girlfriend's custom Panto was done in the same colours as mine. So either she copied me, or we're one of those couples that really has a lot in common.
  3. We were warring with these two laggy guys, where they'd take ages to die after the killshot. One leaped around the corner (I think he'd tried to roll without aiming, hence jumping) straight into the path of my auto shotty, and he did the limp starfish pose, but my PS3 froze without saying if I'd killed him. Rebooted but couldn't get back to that session because it was full. So I soloed Coveted, found Luke and took our Pantos to the Airport. He somehow managed to get three stars, then jumped into my car because his had no tyres (who doesn't buy Bulletproof tyres?). Then we hit a ramp and nudged a Police Helicopter into a wall. It was epic. Bugger the 6x6, I'm taking the Panto to the mountain.
  4. The ideal male wrestler to have some sort of feud with Stephanie is John Cena because he can humiliate her with Photoshop promos. No, he already admitted he jerks off to pictures of her. It was like 11 years ago though.
  5. Prince Phillip picked up the knife Ramsay used to choppy choppy Theon's Pee Pee. Which was nice. The thing with the Mountain is, he's the Hound's older brother. But the actor playing him is a couple of decades younger than Rory McCann.
  6. I'm going to try to take the 6x6 up the Mountain. But first, I'm taking the Panto to those ramps by the Airport. Might put the luggage on the roof to raise the centre of gravity first though.
  7. We tried riding the tracks, with Traffic off so there'd be no trains, as an Off-Road. It finished like this: Dubsta 6x6 Dubsta 6x6* Sanchez (Modded) Sanchez (Stock) Sanchez (Stock) Sandking DNF * Although technically this one came third because Luke hits things while he's driving. But he was in second all of the way until he started crashing. Obviously this is a race without any tight corners though - what we really need is one of those mad uphill mountain races to be Sanchez vs 6x6. We haven't tested how well it climbs... if we try one of those river races that can only be done in a Sandking, and the 6x6 can do it (probably not because of the lack of elevation, but we'll see), then I'd say the Sandking was totally redundant.
  8. Probably the pump itself. They get oversensitive when they wear out. Try changing the angle or depth you're putting the nozzle into the fuel pipe, or just settle for half or three quarter speed fuelling. Also, if anyone's got a new car and they don't know how to open the gas tank, let me know. Some of those European ones are very counter-intuitive.
  9. Unless they do the gimmick where he intentionally isn't winning the title. Someone's climbing the Ladder and he's the only one in a position to stop them, and he doesn't, because he's got it all planned out and it's a set-up all along. Could work, for Bray.
  10. It took me a month to watch this show. Every time I tried, I found there was something else I'd rather be doing. My Tivo is full of Impact's I can't be arsed with. I really like Austin Aries. Yet somehow they have contrived to book an Austin Aries match that, not only would i have not minded missing it, I actively didn't want to watch.
  11. Really? Because I'm far more in the position of probably getting rid of my Sandking and just having the 6x6 (it's something like twice as fast, and has far better traction - only the braking sucks, really). Plus at the mo', having a 6x6 (when none of my friends have one) has put me back in the spot of being the guy who people want to borrow my car. And I've not been there since I was level 30 and Cristobal was forever trying to drive my chrome Fusilade. The only downside is Havoc really loves getting people into the truck back of the 6x6, then 'accidentally' flipping it over. The upside is, if you have two people in the truck back and they aren't aiming weapons, they take it in turns to stare at each other's crotches. Whale was back on last night, after not playing for three months (his estimate). We double backflipped my Panto off the Skate Park, and Luke was so impressed he bought one himself. Then Havoc blew it up immediately. He hates Pantos. They should make a VS Mission where one team has to steal and deliver Pantos while the other has to destroy them, just so Havoc can play it all the time.
  12. The new Survival should just be called Underpass Survival, because it's such an obvious place to go. We passed it on our first attempt when I figured that out (it was me, Cristobal and 2 randoms. One random quit after he died and Havoc took his spot). I was down their on Wave Three and got very few kills, then everyone except died on Wave 4, spectated me getting 20+ kills by myself, and it was a camping trip from their on out. Thursday night, Havoc says we need to grind money so he can get the 6x6. We start doing Coveted x 9, but somehow Luke fails to join and we end up with 2 random instead. They do as they're told, and it goes great. Then Havoc falls asleep during number 4... at one point his Mom came in and started having a go at him for having open drinks on top of electrical equipment, and he answered her by grunting and groan moaning. But after the 6th one, the two randoms we had trained up both quit out (One said "Oh Shit! I quit!" just before disappearing, so it might have been by accident). Did an Auto-Invite to get Luke in, but this level 10 idiot managed to join as well. We try Coveted three times. Every time, he charges down the hill right from the start. The first time, I managed to wipe out the opposition before the time limit, and he flies the Cargobob into a wall and blows it up. The second time, I wiped out the opposition, he picked up the crate and immediately dropped it into the Ocean. The third time, I tried to get to the Cargobob first and consequently the two minutes ran out before we'd killed everyone. The bloody idiot cost me $54,000. Money I needed. I still managed to get the Dubsta 6x6, and mod it up, but ca$h got tight towards the end there. Didn't buy a custom horn for it, like. I did the double money Hipster playlist three times to try and re-up my money. Easy win for me on the Parachute Jump (the finish line is ringed by trees, you have to sweep out left after the final checkpoint and turn in - if you try and go straight, it's best case Faceplant, worst case DNF). Hate the Taxi Capture - it's locked to Forced (Pistol) and Pickups, and if you die the respawn is a few hundred yards behind your base, with no traffic nearby. So the other team has a free pass to the delivery. Then this afternoon when Xavier came around to stay, he decided he really needed for his character to have a Panto (He was pretty upset that the Luggage Roofrack option was a high level Unlock, because his character's only at 48). Between buying that and modding it up, when I got my character back, our Bank Account contained the princely sum of Fifty-One Dollars. It's a bit better now. Still need more, I burned a bunch making sure I could still be the person who owns every item of clothing in the game. For a while I was in the Skull Hockey Mask, Skeleton Hoodie, Skeleton Leggings outfit. You can do that now.
  13. Here's an updated list of every tattoo my Character is wearing: Head: Tribal Butterfly, Beautiful Eye Torso: Angel, LS Flames, Seven Deadly Sins, Way of the Gun Left Arm: Stop, Racing Blonde, Burning Heart Right Arm: Grim Reaper Smoking Gun, Ride or Die Left Leg: Grim Reaper Right Leg: Skull and Sword, Flaming Skull The new Benefactor Panto, it's not as good as the Weeny Issi (it spins out far too easily), but it's so small and light you cal barrell roll it very easily. It's a Stunt Car basically. Soloed the new Coveted. If you drop the Crate and land the Cargobob, the enemy helicopter stops approaching and just hovers where you can snipe it. Also the two minute countdown doesn't start until you reach the Cove, so you can still sit on the hill and snipe all the enemies.
  14. Thinking about it, how many people in the history of fictionalised violence have booked a man vs woman fight where the man hits a low blow? Because I think Benioff n Weiss just joined Vince Russo as the only people on that list.
  15. He did not snuff Sierra, so I was good. I LOVED Sierra. Why hasn't she been in more stuff? Dichen Lachman had a small villanous role on an episode of Torchwood: Miracle Day and she's been on The Glades and an episode of CSI. She currently has a recurring role as Anya on The CW's post-apolcalyptic thingie, The 100. She was in that Andre Braugher show about the nuclear submarine as well.
  16. The conspiracy theory that says Varys manipulated Tyrion into killing Tywin also sometimes has him poisoning Tywin first, so that even if Tyrion doesn't do it, Tywin will still die in a way that people will blame Tyrion for. There's that one poison that constipates you to death... hence Tywin being on the toilet, but not shitting until he actually expires. Apparently the casting notices they already sent out include Doran and Arianna Martell, Three Sand Snakes and Areo Hotah, but no Quentyn. But they also have the Waif but no Kindly Man, so maybe they're just partial. No Euron Crow's Eye either.
  17. Actually, there's more of a chance he's secretly Brienne's distant cousin. Both are possibly/ probably descended from Ser Duncan the Tall. The Cleganes have only had surnames for two generations - Sandor and Gregor's grandfather was boss of the kennels at Casterly Rock and was raised to knighthood for saving Tywin's father from a Lion once. When they were casting for season one, the final two they had in mind for Jon Snow were Kit Harington (who got it) and Iwan Rheon (who is Ramsey Bolton now). Meanwhile they actually offered Liam Cunningham (who plays Ser Davos now) the role of Ser Jorah Mormont (Lord Friendzone if you don't know names), but he turned it down because of a scheduling conflict, so they went with Iain Glen instead. If Cunningham had taken it, TV Jorah would be a lot more like Book Jorah... but I love how Iain Glen is playing it. At the the end of 2013, Joe Dempsie (Gendry) tweeted a thank you list to everyone he'd worked with that year, and included Maisie Williams on it. Lots of people thought that meant he'd turn up in season 4 and meet Arya... but apparently he considers doing joint interviews with Maisie during season 3 as counting as working with her. A couple of weeks ago Charles Dance was doing an interview where he said he was off the start filming season 5 soon. Didn't mention he'd only have a few days work where he'd be playing a corpse. When I was reading the books the first time, and Stannis showed up at the wall, my first reaction was "What's Tywin going to do about this?" and then I remembered he wasn't going to do anything, because he was dead. But it shows what a dominant character he was, that everything that happens in the world would be thought of in terms of his reaction to it.
  18. In the books, at one point (in book 2 iirc) Tyrion is reading three books on Dragonlore, and complaining that they contradict each other and he doesn't know which to believe. in the show, those books probably exist. But I doubt there are any copies of them in Slaver's Bay. If only Dany had access to a Maester or something like that...
  19. The theories about Jojen in the book are to do with that wierwood seed drink that he keeps making Bran have? People think blood of a greenseer is an important ingredient, and so his whole 'this is not the day I die' thing is because he knows he has to sacrifice himself for Bran to gain his full powers. Obviously the show is changing things - with some characters (especially Sansa, who did little and less after book 3) now nearly caught up to the end of book 5, Arya & Bran's next season is basically going to be a Supernatural training montage.
  20. Lightweight. When I'm playing GTA and I'm tired as puck, I keep playing GTA. I have to listen to you boasting about what a great racer you are, even though you're fully awake at 7pm and I'm three quarters asleep at 3am, with my reaction times completely shot, I keep going.
  21. They stopped giving you split times on races (where you could press down on the D-Pad and see how many seconds away from the other acers you were) on the last update. Don't know why, it was useful. If people hadn't been hacking, cheating and seeking out money and RP glitches all this time, Heists would have been out already.
  22. My current Coupe is an F620. Looks good, spins out on fast corners. Useful for getting more of them to spawn when Simeon wants one (they sell for $8500 at LSC. More from Simeon). Where'd you go, Chris? You said you'd Watch a few Dogs for a bit and come back, and then you just turned your machine off all night? We did Parachute jumps while Havoc was AFC at the Pizza shop, and got to spectate his suicide plunges.
  23. I went with the Sanchez 2, so I could get in in Pink. I go through colour phases in this game. The business update came out in my green and purple phase, so I was wearing a purple Top Hat and a Green Jacket, with long blonde hair. Someone on the other Deathmatch team said we had Willy Wonka on our side. So I killed them more.
