Jumped into Trevor just as he was being kicked out of a Casino, and he was yelling "show me where it says you have to wear pants on the gaming floor!". Played my first round of Golf as Franklin*. Finished to par. Checked the scores online and the only DVDVR crew member with a score (on PS3) was Gonzalez, who shot a 48. So, Gonzalez sucks at golf. Street races are a piece of piss if you use Franklin's special ability at the start, because your top speed when in slow motion is much higher than it is at normal play speed. That first street race you all took six attempts on, I won it first time. Although I did get to level 7 in GTA4 online basically through winning races**. I only got a PS3 in May, and only started playing GTA4 online after completing the story, so that's, like two or three months of online play. I'm a much better driver than a shooter (did get the kill a rockstar trophy though). Fighting missions in GTA5 were really hard until I worked out how to change the tiny dot into a proper crosshair. * I've maxed out Trevor & Michael's strength by playing tennis. Franklin can't play tennis. He has the lowest strength of the three guys in the crew, despite having the most muscular body. ** Speaking of which, basically everyone in my PS3 friends list is people I met in GTA 4 online. I could recruit them to the DVDVR crew if you want a couple of ringers (I've got a couple of headshot guys).

People who don't like the 10 point must system, jump on the 20 point must. Round winner gets 20, clear loser gets 18. If it's a 'Could have gone either way' round, 20-19 to the guy who edged it. If it's dominant like a 10-8, 20-16. If it's dominant, but not that dominant, 20-17. Much more flexible system, see?

I always play as female characters online. You should see my Lost & Damned avatar. Rockstar social club website is refusing to laod properly on my ancient home computer, or in the library (it's blocked). I'll try using the PS3 browser.

I watched Natural Born Killers for the first time on forever. Had totally forgotten Downey was in it, let alone that he was so good in it. He's going to have one of those Aerosmith careers, isn't he? Where he was succesful, took loads of drugs, fell off the face of the world, came back and started being really commercially succesful stuff, and everyone likes him, but... you look back at what he's done, and you think he was actually better when he was getting wasted. Also, I always wondered why the opening credits to True Blood looked so familiar. Now I know. NBK did them first. And really, a case could be made that Kill Bill's stylistic shifts and sudden animated section are in fact Tarantino ripping off Oliver Stone doing Tarantino. Although considering Quentin's always been a magpie-ish, tribute paying filmmaker, it makes sense that as he matured and his ego developed he would start to increasingly pay tribute to himself.

Taz is horrible on every ONO show. It's almost as if he thinks they don't really matter.

Kurtie? Every villian is given three 'come back from the dead' cards to play. Bullshit, Lacelle's well over half a dozen already. Coey stayed away eventually though, I think he was three tries.

Well, she probably won't until the final episode, what with being Mrs Sutter and all. But I think the whole point of the show is supposed to be that she's Jax's blind spot and if he'd just allow himself to see that she's the one starting all the shit... it's wierd, the show is supposed to be Hamlet, but Jemma is more Lady Macbeth.

I saw him interviewed at the London premier of Pacific Rim. He said he was from Newcastle, and yet he couldn't even pronounce the word Geordie. He does literally sound as if he grew up somewhere in the Mid-Atlantic. If they ever make The Fall of Atlantis: The Movie, he should definately play the Prince or something. Dye his hair black and cast him as Namor, Marvel.

The problem with this show was, it made you want to watch the non-TNA regulars. Because you have Gail vs Alissa Flash, and Gail's just doing the same Gail moves you've seen her do a million times, whereas Allisa's doing things you've not seen (even when she was with TNA), and it makes you want to see more of her... but she's not with the company, so you can't. Serena vs Mickie was by far the match of the night. Finally someone who makes the opening headlocks and armbars look like they're done to hurt and cause damage. The ONO shows have been a lot of going through the motions, this one included (OK, some of the less experienced Wrestlers can only go through the motions). Serena vs Mickie was a good story well told.

Honestly, from reading your posts, I'd wondered how you had such a historical cultural knowledge of things you were too young to have remembered from when they happened*. But it turns out you're ten years older than I thought you were. * Like when the Arctic Monkeys started, and they're making lyrical references to songs from 1984 even though they weren't born until after that. So people started writing to the NME letters page and accusing thier high school English teacher of writing lyrics for them.

See, I don't get that. Is there no tension in 'The Godfather' or 'Alien' or 'Halloween' because since there are sequels we know the main characters survive?! Is there no tension in 'Schindler's List' because we know the Germans don't win? But the main characters in Alien don't survive? I mean, expand your argument to Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween or something, the whole appeal is that everyone in the cast, and the monster, are all going to be pushing up daisies by the end.

He's just waiting until he can be Terence & Terrell's manager in a couple of years. He can feud with Rikishi and his lads.

Turn 39 on Sunday. Apparently most people think I'm still in my 20s, even with the bald head and beard (I usually have; Not right at the mo tho). Straight Edge keeps you young.

Was anyone else watching Sky Sports news after midnight on Monday? Because they were saying Lukaku had gone to Liverpool, not Everton. Over and over again. Robin Van Persie left Arsenal because he was sick of being the one man in a one man team, and wanted to contend for the league title. And, well, he did win one league title...

I always pictured Damphair as Richard E Grant, with a beard. Only Grant is obviously too old now... I always pictured Joffrey as Macauley Culkin. His lips look like two worms fucking. Also, I don't care what the show says, I pronounce it Py-Chell.

Skyline comes across like somebody watched Cloverfield and said, hey, wouldn't it be great if someone took that idea and made a proper movie without all the found footage bullcrap (ie, there's an alien invasion but we only see it from the perspective of a few guys, and we see the armyu showing up but never saw then getting deployed or anything)? So it's OK... except they really needed to add a smart guy to figure things out and provide expositionary dialogue and that. And they killed people in the wrong order. But it's OK, sort of. Watched Mars Attacks for the first time in years. Never realized that the redneck soldier was a pre-fame Jack Black. You can look at the different names above the title on the VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray versions to see how the Hollywood power struggle has been progressing (Natalie Portman UP! Glenn Close DOWN!). Really can't belive that at the time this was new, people thought Independence Day was better. It wasn't. It was shite. Mars Attacks was, and is, great.

I was convinced that they were building a Sabin & Sky* vs Bully & Brooke mixed tag, but I suppose not. * Did the backstage Velvet promo about going out with Sabin and missing Hardcore Justice due to relationship issues not air on the USA version?

You know how a few years ago, when an American was asking who he should support and laods of people said Fulham, because they had Mr America Clint Dempsey? Stoke have Geoff Cameron, Brek Shea and Maurice Edu. And they're getting the latino guy from New England Revolution in January. Young bloke.

Coming from you, that means nothing.

TNA 10 reunion was cheap - they reused the top 10 moments video from last year's Slammiversary as filler, and whilst it made sense to have rematches of big matches of the show, they used the video packages to build up the original version - so you see a video package building up Angle vs Joe in a Cage, for the World title and with Joe retiring if he loses, and then they have a straight, simple match. You see a video package building up Storm vs Roode in a streetfight with King Mo as ringside enforcer, and then they have a straight match. Although Hardy vs Aries without Hardy being all "I'm in a main event epic, I have to do something really stupid" was alright. 3-D half-ass the ONO matches like fuck though.

So, I finally got around to seeing Road House. Is it Atsushi Onita's favourite movie? Because it seems like every match he had was designed to end with him looking as much like Pat Swayze at the end of Road House as possible. Also, all that talk of Rugby players was a smokescreen, Wade Barratt is so totally named after Wade Garrett.

Percy Jackson 2: Bit different to the first one, you don't go to Olympus or meet many gods this time (No Sean Bean, and Hermes is basically one scene where he bitches about how great TV shows get cancelled and the snakes on his staff have a petty argument). It's more just the kids on an adventure. Shirley off Community is one of the three witches. One cyclops is human sized while the rest are giants, and there is no explanation as to why, and someone Peirce Brosnan has mutated into Tony Head.

What are you talking about? IKTS was incredible, best game ever.

Last years league returns! If you played last year, create a team and you should be entered automatically. If not, it's 810175-193689 at fantasy.premierleague.com

Well, if I renew last year's league, that'll be a standard league, but then you can start the head to head... actually I don't think it stops anyone from setting up multiple leagues themselves anyway. Not that that matters. I'll renew last year's league tomorrow or Thursday.
